Give me 5!!! Show of class by Juve!

28 October 2009

Ferrara fielded a 4-2-3-1 formation identical to the one against Maccabi and Juve responded brilliantly. The bianconeri immediately had a great start immediately showing great determination and an offensive mentality.

On the 1st minute there is immediately a free-kick for Juve: Diego puts the ball into area but it is a bit too long for Chiellini. Two minutes later a good ball into the area by Giovinco reaches Camoranesi who is stopped for a foul in attack.

The 7th minute sees a corner for Juve: Diego's cross reaches Melo who crosses into the center put there is nobody close enough to tap in. Three minutes later, there is a great Camoranesi cross into the area with Amauri missing the overhead kick by a millimetre. On the eleventh minute there is a great confusion in the Samp area with Giovinco doing a great job but the ball exits for a corner: from the flag Diego puts in a perfect ball which is headed greatly by Chiellini who is denied a near goal by Castellazzi.

On the 13th minute Buffon saves into corner on a dangerous close encounter with Ziegler. Three minutes later, Diego's ball for Amauri is too long and Castellazzi has no difficulty in saving.

The 18th minute sees great play by Diego as he takes Giovinco by surprise. Four minutes later, a great cross by Camoranesi into the area but Amauri is stopped for off-side. On the 26th minute, there is great play by Diego with a cross towards Giovinco who is anticipated into corner: from the flag the ball reaches Amauri who shoots home for the opener: 1-0!

Juve are getting what they deserve as they dominate occupying the opponents’ three quarters most of the time. On the 29th minute a great Giovinco shot from outside the area is saved by Castellazzi.

The half hour mark sees another free-kick for Juve: beautifully taken by Diego towards Amauri who misses the deviation by a millimetre. One minute later, Diego dribbles two and crosses well but the defence manages to clear. On the 37th minute, good cross into the area by Grosso with Amauri's header going wide. Good play.

On the 39th minute, there is a free-kick for Juve but Diego's shot is blocked by the defence. Three minutes later, Amauri enters the area, crosses into the centre of the area and Chiellini deposits the ball into the net for the 2-0.

The 45th minute sees a good cross into the area by Camoranesi but Castellazi anticipates. Seconds later a very powerful Stankevicious shot from far out goes wide.

After one minute of stoppage time the two teams enter the dressing rooms but Juve has definitely been the much better of the two teams.

The second half sees Juve continue where they left off in the first. On the 2nd minute, there is a free-kick for Juve: it is taken excellently by Diego and Lucchini forces Castellazzi to a brilliant save. One minute later, good ball into the area by Camoranesi and Amauri is stopped for a foul in attack.

On the 5th minute, a great run by Melo and great work by Giovinco who enters the area, passes to Camoranesi in the middle with the Italo-Argentinian hammering in for the 3-0. Juve is simply outstanding and devastating today.

Samp try a desperate move and a Poli shot goes very high over the bar. One minute later, Poulsen comes on for Sissoko. On the 9th minute there is a free-kick for Samp: Chiellini heads away twice and Amauri frees the area with an overhead kick. Seconds later, great play by Giovinco who enters the area after a great run and his shot hits the external part of the net.

On the 11th minute, Grosso tries a shot at goal but Castellazzi saves. One minute later a great shot by Grosso from outside the area goes inches wide. On the 13th minute, Amauri stopped debatably for a foul in attack after a good run to enter the area.

The 16th minute there is a corner for Juve: Diego's ball reaches Melo who crosses well wide. Seconds later, a perfect cross by Camoranesi into the area is headed brilliantly by Amauri who deposits at the back of the net for the 4-0.

Two minutes later, Pazzini surprises the defence and heads home for the 4-1 goal. This is the only real attempt on Buffon’s goal in the whole match. Trezeguet and De Ceglie come on for Amauri and Melo on the 20th minute.

On the 23rd minute a Diego shot after receiving from De Ceglie is blocked by the defence. Three minutes later, Giovinco puts in a great cross and Trezeguet does not manage to shoot well from a great position. Two minutes later, there is a great exchange by Juve as Trezeguet and De Ceglie are caught off-side.

The 29th minute sees a great Giovinco cross is headed by Trezeguet who sees the flag go up for a dubious off-side. Four minutes later, Diego wins a great ball, enters the area but the ball is stolen in the final moment.

On the 39th minute, there is a free-kick for Juve: ball enters the area but Trezeguet is off-side. Three minutes later, there is a great ball into the area by Grosso and Trezeguet heads home for goal number 5.

The match ends right on the 90th minute. The summary is easy: Juve dominate and hammer Sampdoria winning the second place. In other words: a five star performance by Juve!
