guest writer Luca Cetta Looking to build from a start to the season in which they sit second behind
Milan only on goal difference and remain the only unbeaten side in Europe's top leagues, January is
shaping up to be an important month on and off the pitch for Juventus. During 2009-2010 Juventus
lost three out of four in January, while last season's disastrous loss against Parma.
Juventus have scored 29 goals in 18 league matches which is not very impressive but by no means
is it a disastrous figure considering only two clubs in Serie A have scored more: Milan and
Napoli.
The figures do not lie and a closer look reveals the Bianconeri have scored 10 goals in 3
matches meaning the club managed only 19 goals in the other 15 games.
Juventus were crowned Serie A Winter Champions after one of their most controlled performances of
the season on Saturday night. Atalanta have proven to be tough opposition for any team, especially
at home where their only defeat prior was to champions Milan. But, the Bianconeri overcame early
frustration to eventually overcome the Nerazzurri with relative ease.
AC Milan continued where they left off last Wednesday by beating Cagliari 3-0 at the San Siro
yesterday to take them to within a point of leaders Juventus. Juve on the other hand were 2-1
winners over Udinese on Saturday.
Both wins see them pull clear of there nearest challengers Udinese and Lazio to set up a rather
interesting conclusion to the league this season.
Alessandro Matri gives the Bianconeri the lead but Udinese answer through Antonio Floro Flores.
However, Matri would not be denied the winner. Would it be hyperbolic to say Claudio Marchisio is
the preeminent midfielder in the Serie nowadays? Juventus sit on top of the Serie in a dogfight
with Milan.
