Post-Match Review: Sassuolo 1-1 Juventus
In a hard-fought Saturday night match, Juventus dropped two points on the road against Sassuolo. Roma defeated Chievo Verona earlier in the day, which means they have cut the gap to only one point. Sassuolo opted for 3-4-3 that only appeared to be more conservative but that in reality allowed them to match up better with the opponents. They didn’t sit back, also because they showed evident flaws when Juventus attacked with many men and, after the injury of Paolo Cannavaro, they really had a makeshift defense composed by Emanuele Terranova, Luca Antei and Francesco Acerbi, who anyway were able to hold their own, especially in the second half. Sassuolo’s most dangerous actions arrived when they increased the tempo, but they weren’t afraid to control the ball either. Simone Missiroli, a surprise starter, despite not being known for his defensive skill, helped Francesco Magnelli maintain the balance.
