Serie A: Cremonese – Juventus – Rabiot wakes her up, Milik saves her: Juve continues their series

Juventus Turin is doing very well. This Wednesday evening, the Bianconeri won on the lawn of Cremonese, on the smallest of marks (0-1), during the sixteenth day of Serie A. At the Giovanni Zini stadium in Cremona, it is Arkadiusz Milik, on a direct free kick, which released his own, at the very end of the game (90th + 1). In the classification of the Italian championship, Juve consolidates its third place and returns to two points behind AC Milan, second. The proteges of Massimiliano Alvini, meanwhile, are penultimate, seven units from the first non-relegation.

The Bianconeri were scared. Fear of losing valuable points. But everything was unlocked in added time, when Arkadiusz Milik was able to place his ball, on a free kick, close to the post (90th + 1, 0-1). Among the players to have taken more than three free kicks in Serie A since 2004-05, the Pole is the one with the highest conversion rate (33% – 4/12).

Rabiot’s entry was decisive

Juventus could be relieved, as this victory was complicated to get. But the visitors started to show much better dispositions, from the moment Massimiliano Allegri made his changes. Adrien Rabiot, who is coming out of a good World Cup, is even the one who caused the fault, which led to the free kick from the goal. The Frenchman was also the author of a very good end (78th).

At his side, other entrants were not left out. Like Moise Kean, very moving. He too called on Marco Carnesecchi, on a corner (78th), then on a floating strike (87th). Leandro Paredes also tried to participate in the party (90th + 3), after coming into play. Welcome new blood for Juventus Turin who had a hard time showing themselves to their advantage in this meeting. Even if the opposing goalkeeper was the author of the first good interventions, ahead of Matias Soulé (19th, 23rd) then Fabio Miretti (58th).

The Cremonese found the post

Carnesecchi therefore delayed the deadline for a long time. Especially since during a very large part of this meeting, it was his partners who proved to be the most attractive. David Okereke (13th), Soualiho Meïté (51st) or even Emanuele Valeri (79th) came up against Wojciech Szcznesny. The Polish goalkeeper was also very happy when his post repelled a powerful attempt by Cyriel Dessers (69th). Another action almost changed the course of this match, when the VAR confirmed that Valeri was offside, when he thought he had opened the scoring (15th).

Finally, the regrets will be, once again, on the side of Cremonese, the only team in Serie A, this season, still not to have won a single match (seven draws, nine defeats). The days pass and the promoted will certainly have great difficulty in keeping his place in the elite. For its part, Juventus Turin continues with a seventh success in the league. And will certainly hope to keep Inter, which hosts Naples (8:45 p.m.), three points behind it.
