[FT] Sassuolo 4 - 2 Juventus

Juventus failed to catch up with Inter Milan and AC Milan who are currently ranked 1st and 2nd in the Serie A standings, even though Juventus dominates the game in terms of ball possession, but that's not enough to beat Sassuolo, because Sassuolo has the advantage in attack. Sassuolo even managed to increase their lead in injury time because of Federico Gatti's own goal. With the results of this match, Juventus is in 4th position in the standings and has the potential to be overtaken by Napoli who will face Bologna.

Big disappointment for Juventus fans. I haven’t watched the highlights yet, but as I understand it, Sassuolo’s fourth goal will be the most curious of the tour and maybe even of the season  Many attackers dream of scoring a goal from such a distance, but here the defender was able to do it (though against his own team haha).
If Inter wins tomorrow they will begin to repeat what Napoli did last season - gaining a huge advantage from the very early stages of the tournament.

I think Napoli will be able to get full points against Bologna. Currently, Bologna has only won once. And that makes me think that currently Bologna is still not in enough form to put pressure on Napoli. Maybe this will be a difficult match for Napoli to get full points but I bet Napoli will win the match. It was very interesting to watch this match.

Napoli could be able to get full points at home to Bologna if they can play well enough and consistently enough and don't make mistakes that could prevent them from getting full points at home to Bologna. In terms of player quality and team performance in general, in this case it is clear that Napoli is far superior to Bologna, and Napoli should be able to use this in targeting full points at Bologna's home ground tomorrow even though Bologna will also try to win in front of their own supporters.

It is very unfortunate that Juventus failed to win the match, they missed the chance to maintain their position in the top 3 of Serie A standings. I don't know what's wrong with Juventus, they actually have a better squad. Sassuolo is only an average team, Juventus basically is superior against them. I think it is about the mentality of the players and the wrong tactic selected by Allegri.

In my opinion, Juventus should play more aggressively in this match. They actually won the ball possession, they must make more shot attempts. But in reality, Sassuolo made more shot attempts although they didn't control the match. It is a bit surprising for me that Juventus is less aggressive than Sassuolo. Even their main striker (Vlahovic) couldn't score a single goal. 

Sure, Juventus may drop their position out of UCL zone. Napoli has a big chance to win against Bologna and get 3 points.

The worse day for betting in the Serie A and I am afraid big surprises will continue too tomorrow.I hope I am wrong but seeing that after Juventus lost 4-2 and now in the evening Lazio took another hit as they were leading 1-0 but were equalized by Monza and then Monza was defending in their half yet Lazio was not capable of making a single dangerous effort in the second half and I wonder how they beat Napoli at this time so it is becoming a big mess this Serie A this year for betting,in fact one of the worse league for betting from the major 5 of Europe.

I hope Inter does not make any mistake tomorrow and wins their game this way they will create a deserved distance in their fight for the title this year.

[ingiltere]

Sassuolo were really the better side and they deserved to win the game. Juventus equalized twice but couldn't keep the score. Pinamonti's goal put Sassuolo ahead for the third time and the final nail in the coffin was put by Gatti who scored an own goal. With no Szczesny in goal, he sent the ball there and Gatti made a mistake that even amateur players shouldn't make. Szczesny wasn't good in this game, but he's not to blame for this goal. Even without that 4th goal I didn't think Juve would have drawn, Sassuolo closed down well in defense in general. It's the first league defeat for Juve, but they'll want to forget tonight quickly.

[lalabotax]

It's very disappointing indeed, I didn't think Juventus would be this bad in the away match against Sassuolo. Because I thought, with Juventus not having a busy schedule then I was sure, at least Juventus had a chance to be consistent in SerieA. But in fact, my prediction was wrong because in this away match against Sassuolo,

This could be said to be a very disappointing result from Juventus. Even though they seem to be able to master the game, it turns out that's not enough. Even here, Sasuolo can really optimize their attack line. Juventus has a pretty bad defense this time. I thought they prepared well for this match, but it turns out they wasted quite a few chances. This is a crushing defeat for Juventus.

The worse day for betting in the Serie A and I am afraid big surprises will continue too tomorrow.I hope I am wrong but seeing that after Juventus lost 4-2 and now in the evening Lazio took another hit as they were leading 1-0 but were equalized by Monza .....
I hope Inter does not make any mistake tomorrow and wins their game this way they will create a de
served distance in their fight for the title this year.

Apart from Juventus, Lazio is also not very optimal. They only got a draw this time 1-1 against Monza. This is not as bad as Juventus losing to Sassuolo. But on the other hand, Lazio also didn't play well enough. They even have little chance of suppressing their opponents. Luckily they still drew so they have 1 point. However, in this competition, only getting 1 point can be said to be a loss.

Haha yeah that will be the most memorable moment of the season in Serie A. I have to admit that Sassuolo played well today 3 goals scored from outside the box and the goalkeeper couldn't save it, lucky I didn't bet on this match because I was focused on other matches in other leagues This was Juventus first defeat and they missed the opportunity to take over the standings, the same thing with Lazio they drew even though they played at home lol.

[Weawant]

Juventus was a mess in this match, as they were not serious and didn't show any passion of winning the game. I couldn't believe that they could stoop so low to allow Sasuolo to win them 4-2. This is one of the worst performance since the beginning of this season and if they don't take their matches serious, they will be nowhere on the table. What an impressive performance from Sasuolo and I must say that they deserve the victory.

I must say I was and I still am, really disappointed at the performance Juventus did  put up today as they were seen to perform way above this, the worse that could e expected of them would have been a draw, this is their worse performance so far this season I must say although they had the most possession of the ball but they aswell had lesser goal attempts.

It was surprising how sasuolo at 11th position on the league table won Juventus at 4rh position to a land slide. Even through the match Juventus struggled as sasuolo scared first before Juventus and it went on and on until sasuolo left Juventus behind by a good margin. Sasuolo has won just two games including this they just played against Juventus.

Juventus had won three games lost one and they were looking to be in a better position to win although sasuolo had home advantage over Juventus but they weren't looking like a good contender until the game ended with them wining while Juventus struggled all through. if Juventus continues like this they will go down too bad on the table while if sasuolo continues like this, who knows they may be at the top soonest.

In the past record between both teams Juventus has been more dominant and has won about 3 times in their last 5 matches but I fail to understand why they could perform well In the match against Sasuolo today and they even got an embarrassing defeat to make the situation worst, though sasuolo got more chances to win but Juventus also got a fair chance to win they got about 15 shots on target and managed to convert only 2 and one from those 2 shot on target they had was goals they score in the match from Chiesa while the other goal was an own goal from Sasuolo player Vina.

 The good thing is that they're still 4th on the table but they need to step up and not to have such performance again so as not to drop some points there next match is a tough one against Leece who're 3rd in the table hopefully they'll win to maintain their position in the top 4.

[Leviathan.007]

The odds are quite reasonable because the possibility of AC Milan winning this match is quite large, AC Milan must win and win this weekend if they don't want to get worse, after 2 previous results in Serie A and UCL AC Milan did not get satisfactory results so there is a possibility in the match Against VERona, the AC Milan team will be strong and that is quite possible after we see the quality of these two teams.
While Verona is in a slump right now, they didn't win in their last 2 matches, so AC Milan took advantage of this moment to win this weekend's match.

Considering how AC Milan dominated in the match with Dortmund and created many opportunities in middle of the week, Verona looks like not to be an opponent that can constrain attacking power of AC Milan. They will even face with bigger pressure from AC Milan as the host actually need three points after some bad matches in Serie A. AC Milan players hopefully learned something from their inaccurate shots in Champions League match with Dortmund.

They don't actually need to score many goals to beat Verona because opponent does not have good attacking ability. So one or two goals are enough for AC Milan to secure three points from Verona. I guess a best scoring goal for AC Milan from this match at home is 3 goals, not more but I don't see Verona will get one point from AC Milan at San Siro stadium.

Yes, I actually agree. Verona definitely is not a team that possesses explosive attacking power. So I think AC Milon has to be just careful in the defense and create chances. But the thing is Milan will have to convert the chances that they create. If they can properly convert the chances that they create, I think they will be able to win this match easily.

But one thing Milan should not do is they mustn't underestimate their adversary under any circumstances. That is one way they might lose this match. They should just look to break the deadlock and after that play defensive football.

Many people complaining about AC Milan and their coach Stefano Pioli because of the results they got recently and especially because of losing the game against Inter Milan a few days ago.
But Marco Tardelli the Italian legend started defending Stefano Pioli and he said Pioli is not alone and the players also made some mistakes, also he said Pioli made a mistake in letting other people (Ibrahimović) make a gap between him and the fans to put Pioli under pressure.

[arimamib]

A disappointment from Juventus. They seemed to have started well this season. I witnessed how weak their defense was on paper today in the Sassuolo match. A team that makes so many mistakes for the leadership can never carry itself to the leadership, their rivals are even stronger this year. Wasn't Szczęsny's mistake in the first goal very simple, the ball was coming from lower, he jumped for nothing, he could have controlled the ball if he hadn't jumped. Possibilities were created again in the Juventus attack, but Vlahovic could not good well in this match. Perhaps if he had taken the lead early, Juventus could have saved the match with a draw.

Before the match started, I predicted that Juventus would be able to get full points in this match, but my prediction was very wrong because Juventus was not able to play well in this match. Indeed, their defense was quite bad, even Sassuolo was able to score a quick goal in the 12th minute. I think Juventus has a bigger obstacle this season because their squad is really not that impressive in maintaining their best form. In fact, Vlahovic cannot be fully expected, sometimes he plays better and sometimes he plays worse.

Juventus also does not have a busy schedule this season. But they really don't focus their target on improving their performance in Serie A. I think Juventus is no longer a really strong team in Serie A because other teams seem quite easy to beat them. Juventus management should have been able to regenerate after they were abandoned by their senior players retiring, but they didn't do it.

It's actually true. I was losing on juventus vs sassuolo. It's a shame to see juventus played so badly during the game. It reminds me like he old juventus which was getting lose streak in the last season. I saw no improvement happened with juventus.
The club played as bad as last season which is making many people are feeling disappointed with it. Juventus played like a relegation team. Allegri was horrible.
Juventus needs to consider in kicking him out of the club as soon as possible if there will be no change happens in the club. Juventus had very poor attacking lines. It was always dominating the ball but very less goal attempts compared with sassuolo.
Juventus and allegri may be able to have another disastrous season. My feeling said if juventus will be playing as bad as last season.
Juventus management is not going to get rid of allegri.

Pioli doesn't seem to have found an ideal formation for AC Milan this season because he often changes formations in every match. Indeed, in terms of strength, they are stronger by bringing in several players, but still their performance is not strong enough when facing a team that is as strong as Inter Milan. Well, Verona's victory made them return to winning ways after losing to Inter Milan, but Pioli's performance in building the squad to be more aggressive was not 100 percent successful because in today's match Verona was able to put a lot of pressure on them.

I think AC Milan is not conducive enough to maintain their performance so their quality is not completely stable. This season if they are not able to make many changes to their game then I think AC Milan is not strong enough to become champions this season. Today's victory brought AC Milan back to 2nd place again after previously being thrown to 4th place.

Stefano Pioli is a prominent coach with envisioned of quite an accomplishment for the club. He is one of the few good coaches in Seria A that have the experience and acquainted with the Seria A league system, knows to the exact actions to expect from his squad and better chances to execute in league games. AC Milan are elite club with outstanding players, but something is missing out which is the ability for them to net more goals when playing average sides, they shouldn't be struggling rather exercising their strength, thrashing the mediocre side without any sign of sympathy.

What a sudden change in the Sassuolo vs Juventus game outcome, Even though Juventus had the majority of the possession, Sassuolo effective offensive plan ended up being the difference maker. Federico Gatti own goal in stoppage time was truly shocking. I Think Juventus appears to need to improve their focus and organization, especially in light of Szczesny's last-second error. They are no longer as competitive in their pursuit of Inter Milan, who have a perfect record and appear unstoppable. The competition for Serie A just got more interesting

The own goal is ridiculous but it is not a reason why Juventus lost the match. It only makes the defeat worse with more mistakes from their players. Juventus have nothing important to fight in this season rather than Serie A so this defeat will not break them down too early in this season. They will come back stronger and fight with Inter Milan for Scudetto that is the only big title they can chase for in this season.

If this season ends bad, Juventus will face with a wave of many star players leaving their club.

But Marco Tardelli the Italian legend started defending Stefano Pioli and he said Pioli is not alone and the players also made some mistakes, also he said Pioli made a mistake in letting other people (Ibrahimović) make a gap between him and the fans to put Pioli under pressure.

It is not a good match from AC Milan but with an early goal from Rafael Leao, at the 8th minute, AC Milan protected that advantage successfully and ended the match with three points. Pioli should be given more time to help AC Milan exit this crisis and after all great achievement they had with AC Milan, helped them to win a first Scudetto after more than one decade, he deserves to have more time.

In the summer, AC Milan lost Tonali to Newcastle United and Brahim Diaz to Real Madrid. Those players used to be very important with Pioli and AC Milan so they need time to rebuild a new squad, new tactics without those players. In latest matches, AC Milan did created many opportunities and they just did not have good conversion rate from opportunity to goal. They must improve it, starts with training, shot with higher accuracy in training then repeat it in real matches. After some good matches, their players will get their confidence back and things will be better for the whole team.

Inter will host Empoli, if successful then the points gap will be even bigger, Inter is the only club in Serie A that has managed to record a perfect win so far.

For Inter Milan it seems like today's match is not too difficult for them because their opponents are team at the bottom of the standings. Empoli is of course a fairly weak opponent for Inter Milan because Inter Milan is so strong in Serie A this season. They were able to beat AC Milan with a big score so fighting Empoli is not a big problem for them.

Bologna vs Napoli in today's match. Statistically, the performance of these two teams is relatively different at the start of this season. Even though Napoli did not perform better than last season, they were better than Bologna at the start of this season. So in this match I think Napoli are still quite favored in this match. Statistically, in their 5 match meetings, it is clear that Bologna was unable to win against Napoli. But I hope Bologna can play better because they are playing in front of their supporters.

Allegri's era already gone. His is now in a difficult position as fans keep blaming him for the lose against sassuolo. I can't even really understand why people keep being concerned on him while the team was also the main problem in this case.
They are not playing properly. It doesn't even matter how hard allegri motivated all of them since they have no motivation to go up and the result will still the same. I see no choice for juventus other than to get rid of allegri at the end of season.
Allegri can also find a good club that will accept him as a new coach. It's true that the lose against sassuolo is really painful for the juventus fans but i think that they needs to be patience.
Juventus is able going up again anytime as we are still at the early season. There are many things can happen during the season. Blamiing him will not even solve the problem happened in the club.

They lost their first game, a crazy game with two own goals. Unfortunately Vlahovic did not score a goal, it would have been a strong series, 5 games 5 goals. Currently Chiesa and he both scored 4 goals in 5 games. Juventus should not finish this season so bad as the last, with points deducted and no Champions League, they are too good for that. Chiesa and Vlahovic show us in the first games.

This is a very disappointing result for Juventus, they played well but whether Sassuolo's defense was good or Juventus' forward players played badly in this match, it is clear that Juventus' game was not well organized so they were not able to create many chances.
Juventus should have won this match because if we look at the quality of the two teams, Juventus is certainly better, but this result was truly unexpected and with this result, more and more people doubt that Juventus will be able to compete fiercely in the race for the Scudetto this season.

It was very bad that Juventus suffered such a defeat just when they were supposed to be very good this year. Look, there are no European matches either. Their opponents will play difficult matches in Europe. They should have won the Sassuolo game because now it looks like they lost the extra point. They will play with stronger and more difficult teams. If they lose points in those matches, they will be risking the championship.
