It was a memorable Derby D'Italia that basically played out exactly as expected and the points were divided as the final score was 1-1 a the end. Massimiliano Allegri bring young Hans Nicolussi Caviglia on from the start. Using such a young player in a three-man midfield, who had only been on the pitch for just 3 minutes for the Bianconeri, could have quickly gone wrong against Inter. Instead, his performance was very good to see. Both Inter and Juventus will have to continue collecting points diligently in the coming months in order to beat their direct competitors in first place. The Old Lady now has a very special opponent waiting with a score to settle. Because Monza had beaten Juventus in both Serie A games without conceding a goal in the previous season. Especially after the 0-1 defeat in September 2022, Allegri was up to his neck after what was possibly the worst Juventus performance in the last ten years. It's just a good thing that his high-paying contract may have saved him from being laid off. AC Monza have never conceded more than a maximum of one goal per game in their last ten Serie A games. |
