Massimiliano Allegri goes to Cagliari and his Juve can look to the after-holidays with serenity, studying the overtaking plan. The one in Sardinia was a trip with a high risk of tripping, but the Lady who took the field already aware of the result of the leaders managed to make a full booty in front of an opponent capable of putting her to the test. It took Bernardeschi's winning paw in the second half to get the better of Lopez's team, which would not have deserved at all if it had closed with a draw and instead remained dry-mouthed with the 'prank' of the silent Var on the touch of the hand by Bernardeschi. If the good game can wait, above all the victories arrive anyway, in any case the technician can get some happy notes from the Sardegna Arena. Starting with Szczesny's Superman evening, which confirms how the Juventus people can sleep soundly: the post-Buffon is in good, indeed very good gloves and the feats on Pavoletti and Farias are there to prove it. The confirmation of the solidity of the defense and of the now tested inclusion of Douglas Costa, author of the decisive assist. 
And, on the whole, the ability to suffer and grit my teeth in the uphill moments. Of course, from yesterday's challenge, the confirmation seems to arrive that the bianconeri, unlike their pursuers, including Napoli, can afford not to shine in the game because they also have phenomena on the bench capable of pulling the rabbit out of the hat. "It was a physical match and we adapted and in any case the important thing was to win: we closed this row positively, we slightly detached the pursuers and we remained in the wake of Napoli, so the path we have made so far is positive", commented Allegri to end of the race. “The newcomers have now settled in, they have grown a lot and in the second half of the season they will give us a big hand. Tonight we gave a great test of maturity. ”Allegri could also have smiled at the comforting progress of Dybala, to whom the crossbar denied the goal from a free-kick, if the Argentine himself had not raised the white flag ahead of time. The Juventus number 10 underwent a magnetic resonance scan in the morning which revealed, says the press release, "a distracting injury to the flexors of the right thigh which, with reservations due to the precocity of the investigations carried out, can be defined as mild to medium ". A problem that can cost Joya at least a month off. Dybala will certainly miss Genoa and Chievo, the first leg of the semi-final of the Italian Cup in Bergamo, Sassuolo and Fiorentina. The goal is to recover him for February 13, first leg of the Champions League round of XNUMX against Tottenham. No further problem for Chiellini, however, who had to undergo eight stitches for the wound sustained in the left eyebrow arch, and for Khedira, who came out prematurely for a strong blow to the head remedied in a clash with Szczesny, but who does not need for further checks. Apart from the problems of the infirmary, the break in Allegri will serve to give breath to those players who appeared in debt of freshness in the latest releases: such as Higuain. While waiting for some gifts to arrive from the market, who knows. Even though in the pre-race in Cagliari Beppe Marotta was clear: “The January window is defined as one of repair and we, perhaps by luck or skill, are covered in all departments. The team is highly competitive and assembled to excel in every area. With the strength we have, the only concern must be directed only to ourselves and not to the opponents.
