The Bianconeri have two points from four rounds, and have fallen from the title favorites to the top two
In the early morning of February 18, Beijing time, Juventus drew 2-2 with Verona, two 2-2 draws, only two points, one game ahead of the first Inter Milan, currently only 9 points. If Milan win this game, then Juve will fall to third place in the league.
In the 1-0 match against Inter and Udinese, Juve were eliminated in this game. After Inter Milan swept Salernitana 4-0 in this game, the difference between them and Juventus was stretched to two numbers. Therefore, in the game against Verona, Juve must not lose. But 11 minutes later, Florencio's long-range shot from the edge of the box gave Juve a 1-0 victory. Kostic passed the ball to Vlahovic in the 28th minute, who sent the ball into the box from inside the box. The two teams played a one-to-one draw in the first half.
In the 52nd minute, Hellas Verona scored again, and a low kick from near the Nosling penalty area gave the team a 2-1 advantage. Locatelli played the ball wide on the right and Rabiot deflected it wide, three minutes later. Then the two teams went back and forth, no one scored, and finally ended 2:2.
In this game, they had 56% possession and 18 goals and 4 goals compared to Hellas Verona with 14 goals and 9 goals and 2 goals. Both teams looked chaotic and Allegri's team didn't show much fighting power, and it was difficult to chase one point after two leads.
In fact, just four games ago, Juventus were considered the favourites to win the title this season. After beating Empoli 3-0 in round 21, Liverpool have five wins in all competitions and seven wins in all competitions to sit top of the table. In five games in January, Juve scored 18 goals and conceded just two. At the time, Juventus coach Allegri had said that "* caught a thief" and called Inter Milan"Thieves", because Inter Milan is his rival.
However, perhaps because of this unusual statement, Juventus drew 1-1 at Empoli and Inter Milan beat Fiorentina 1-0 to move back into the table. Juventus then lost 1-0 and lost one of their most important league wins. Juve lost 1-0 to Verona at Udinese before being held to a 2-2 draw. Only two points were awarded in 4 rounds. In their last game, Inter won against Atalanta, then the gap between them and their opponents would have been stretched to 12 points. Juventus should not be thinking about the league title right now, they are only thinking about how to maintain their place as runners-up in the league.
And now, in the game of Tianwang Mountain, they lost the game, which made Juventus from the pride at the beginning to the current pride have been poured with a bucket of ice water and completely lost their fighting spirit. Juve coach Allegri made a departure from his previous confident speech at the pre-match press conference against Verona, claiming that "Juve are in a regroup", which is almost tantamount to tacit acquiescence that Juve will not win the league title. The most practical task this season is to maintain fourth place in the league and fight for a place in the next Champions League.
