Paolo Zanetti at the start of the new Serie A season 3-0 win over favorite Napoli noticed – and wanted to repeat the feat in the next home game against Juventus. To do this, the Greek coach immediately put the “unknown” Mosquera, who was brought in from Colombia (CD America de Cali) for less than 1 million euros, into the starting lineup and scored twice against Napoli.

The powerful forward objected to Juve coach Thiago Motta’s selection A 3-0 home win over newly promoted Como Among other things, they relied again on homegrown striker Mbangula, but saw nothing. Why? Because the Old Lady had no momentum at the start of the game and didn’t let anything go defensively. Bremer and Gatti, as well as Juve’s new star Savona, had everything under control.

Two beautiful goals paved the way

As time went on, Torino’s attacks emerged – first with Locatelli’s dangerous long-range shot, which was strongly blocked by Verona goalkeeper Montepo (18th minute).

Ten minutes later, the spell was broken – in a good way: Duda unfortunately lost control of the ball after a Greek throw-in, then Yildiz took the spotlight, advancing forward and playing through the middle for Vlahovic who stood alone. The Serbian was resolute in facing three potential opponents, shooting with his right hand and then finishing with his left hand directly from a difficult position. The target man’s first goal of the season, after a bad luck against Como.

In the 39th minute, the Bianconeri also made a preliminary judgment. After excellent control of the ball, Cambiasso marked the 20-year-old Belgian player Mbangula, who kicked from the left and accurately crossed to Savona on the right side of the goal post. The 21-year-old Italian, who has played for Juventus since 2011, headed the ball into the goal from the left side of the goal post and rewritten the score to 2-0. And Thiago Motta once again confirmed the youth he relied on.

Vlahovic puts the lid on

The second? Quickly told. First, Chachoua’s tackle on Mbangula in his own penalty area was too clumsy. Vlahovic confidently took the penalty and scored his second goal of the night (53 minutes). That’s what the Mass said.

Fagioli (59th) and Yildiz (61st) could have made it 4-0 if they had a little more goal water, while on the other hand Harroui (77th) and Tchatchoua (83rd) were still able to register outsiders. The previously completely unemployed newcomer Di Gregorio (loan from Monza with an obligation to buy) even had to stand out.

In the end, it became clear: the Greek team could not beat the second favorites in a row, and the Old Lady beat them with a 6-0 goal difference two matchdays later. On top of the table Become comfortable. The two teams will continue their matches next Sunday: the Greek team will visit Genoa (6.30 pm) and Juventus will host Roma (8.45 pm), and Roma still has no victory.
