Juventus coach, Andrea Pirlo, revealed the key to his team’s success in winning 2-1 over Torino in Week 10 of the Italian League 2020-2021, Sunday (6/12/2020) early morning WIB. During the break of the first half or when behind 0-1, Pirlo convinced Cristiano Ronaldo and his friends that Juventus had winning DNA.
To be the best, it takes heart and sacrifice. Because of this, Juventus was able to win the match even though they were faced with Granata – the nickname of Torino – who played discipline throughout the match.
“We remember during the break of the first half that Juventus DNA is to put heart and sacrifice. Not all players can always give 100 percent. But, today’s players provide determination, dynamism and an unyielding spirit. That’s what made us win,” Pirlo said, quoting from Italian Football, Sunday (6/12/2020).
In a match which took place at the Allianz Stadium, Juventus fell behind first through Nicolas Nkoulou’s kick in the ninth minute. After this goal, Juventus continued to lock up Torino’s defense.
This was proven throughout the match, Adrien Rabiot and his friends dominated ball possession by 65.5 percent. After going through an extra struggle, Juventus were finally able to equalize through Weston McKennie’s header in the 77th minute.
At that time, Juan Cuadrado’s cross was successfully headed by McKennie. When the match was predicted to end in a draw, Juventus was able to win the match via Leonardo Bonucci’s header in the 89th minute.
Again, it was Juan Cuadrado who crossed for Juventus’s second goal, which was also the winner. Juventus winger Federico Chiesa did not hesitate to give praise to the Colombian player.
“Cuadrado is a champion. “He’s played at the highest level for 10 years, so he’s used to this type of game,” said Chiesa.
Thanks to this victory, Juventus moved up to third in the 2020-2021 Italian League standings with a collection of 20 points. Juventus are only three points adrift of AC Milan at the top of the standings.
However, AC Milan has yet to play their 10th match of the season. The plan is that early in the morning, AC Milan will travel to Sampdoria headquarters.
