Allegri’s team overturns the predictions and wins the Italian Cup. Atalanta hurt themselves with a defensive error and failed to conquer the Juventus fort.
That it was an evening with a strong look at the past was made clear by the performance of “Fratelli d’Italia”, hosted by Albano Carrisi. A performance with more than a few doubts and hesitations from the Apulian artist, in yet another battle in a career that has perhaps lasted a little too long. The Juventus coach was expected to follow the same emotional path: last performance of the second cycle in black and white, with now a faint voice to support the last, desperate, breathless and trembling attempt at the high note. Music is a set of rigid, inescapable rules; football obviously not. And then it happens that after 4 minutes an incorrect exit by Hien (his worst performance since he was in Bergamo) favors Cambiaso’s pass for Vlahovic who, face to face with Carnesecchi, makes no mistake and delivers to Conte Max exactly what he expected it can go back to simply being “The Sorcerer”. The coach from Livorno wallows in the mud he himself created with the indistinct screams at him. It’s his element and he doesn’t fear anything or anyone. His supporters seem to feed on the certainties of their coach: even Nicolussi Caviglia seems to have played several matches of this type.
After the goal, Juventus maintained a rather high center of gravity for about ten minutes, with Atalanta who, shocked by the cold goal, were unable to immediately regain their composure. As the minutes pass, however, the balance that everyone was waiting for is created: Ederson looks like a Squash wall no matter how many attempts to move up the pitch from the Bianconeri crash into him, but Bergamo’s maneuver is rather sterile once it reaches 20 metres. Gasperini understands that he needs a “real” striker and inserts Tourè in the interval, with Scalvini and Hateboer also to give greater width. Allegri has arranged systematic doubling along the entire defensive line and it is very difficult for CDK and Lookman to find spaces. Chiesa and Vlahovic have to engage in the usual pitched battle in the “last” 60 meters of the pitch: their teammates are more precise and “focused” than usual, even Rabiot seems to be able to be useful to the cause in both phases. Iling appears and disappears.

The second half sees Atalanta finding external outlets, but they will get little or nothing from the crosses. The favorite play is Lookman on the left top of the Juventus area, with Ruggeri or Scalvini to overlap or take away Juve’s double. Allegri’s team does not properly exploit the gaps left by Gasperin’s meni, who however do not shine with clarity in those phases (possible rather banal penalty from Hien, already booked and promptly replaced by Gasp on Vlahovic). Post by Lookman, millimeter offside goal by Vlahovic and crossbar by Miretti: the two teams exchange blows, but neither will be able to knock out their opponent again. De Roon’s injury in the 65th minute plays badly for Gasperini: at that point he ends the substitutions, greatly reducing his ability to intervene in the match.
Gasperini’s Atalanta confirms a sinister allergy to finals: third defeat out of three finals reached in the Gasp era. Bad omens for Dublin, where however everything will be different, starting with the type of opponent that the Goddess will face. This defeat cannot take anything away from the amazing season so far, which could still become glorious. The goal after 4 minutes is undoubtedly the episode that the Nerazzurri feared most of all, because it would have created the only potentially winning context for Juve. The general impression is that Scamacca’s absence was very heavy, with Koopmeiners well anesthetized when shooting from the Juventus rearguard and with Lookman the only player who tried, and almost succeeded, to creatively undermine Fort Allegri.
Qualification for the Champions League and Italian Cup. These were the Juventus objectives in August: it seems incredible to say this after the last tragicomic months, but they have both been achieved. Allegri is probably at his swansong, but Juve’s season is, in exquisitely practical terms, fully realized. The usual striptease show of the Livorno area, in bad taste and out of placeis perhaps the signature on the farewell letter to the Juventus fans, winking for the last time to the times gone by. He managed yet another Allegrata, he instilled the last drop of Corto Muso to a group that 3 days ago drew in the 91st against the last-place Salernitana. Now, however, the last witchcraft is needed, that is, self-inflictingAvada Kedhira: it is perhaps right that, 5 years after that “Do you know anything about basketball?”stop talking about Allegri, and go back to talking about Juve.
