On this day in 2012, Juventus welcomed Chievo Verona to the Allianz Stadium. The defending champions launched an array of attacks on Stefano Sorrentino’s goal, but the first half somehow ended goalless.
After the break, Emanuele Giacherrini’s corner kick found an unmarked Fabio Quagliarella, and the Italian scored with a typical acrobatic effort, adding another one to his personal highlight reel.
The striker would then complete his brace after getting past his marker with a brilliant first touch before beating the goalkeeper one-on-one.
Mandzukic, Quagliarella, Matri, Inzaghi… how easily we got rid of these champions. Just for a second, any of those guys could be starter in the team today.
Loooool. GTFO. Inzaghi was let go because we had a superior striker in Trezeguet and, no, a 48 year old Inzaghi wouldn’t be a starter today. Matri and Quagliarella? Haha. One is semi retired and the other has already retired. As for Mandzukic, he was done. He chose to go and play in the Middle East FFS! We let them go when we needed to – the timing was right. Obviously, we haven’t adequately replaced some elements of the team, especially with the garbage in midfield we currently possess, but there’s no way in hell any of those guys you mentioned are starting in today’s Juve.
