As mentioned earlier, the two-week schedule has been very unfriendly for Juventus, with two consecutive Champions League semi-finals sandwiched between the usual city derby, which has caused a lot of difficulties for their players' fitness and club trade-offs.

In order to give enough rest time for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Monaco on Tuesday night, the 35th round of Serie A was scheduled for Saturday evening, which will be difficult for the Juventus players, who have just returned to their home stadium and have only been resting for less than three days, to recover enough. As a result, the Friday morning issue of Sky Sport Italia broke the news that Allegri is likely to hide Higuain in the Turin derby the following day and switch to a 4-4-1-1 formation.

The article says that with four rounds left in the league and Juventus nine points ahead of second-place Roma, if the Red Wolves can't get out of front of AC Milan, then as long as they overturn the Red Bulls again, the Old Lady can complete the first six-game title in Serie A history. However, compared to the breakthrough in the Champions League, it is clear that they will not take it as seriously as they did when they won the previous league title or two, and they have already confirmed their sixth consecutive crown. Therefore, considering the physical condition of the players, the Juventus boss has confirmed in an interview with reporters that Neto will replace Gianluigi Buffon in the goalkeeper position, and there will be more unexpected changes in other positions.

According to reporters, during the two days of training, Allegri focused on practicing 4-4-1-1 play, with Mandzukic on the front line, Cuadrado and Sturaro on the two wings, and Dybala ambushing behind the striker to provide follow-up attacking firepower.

This speculation is still in line with the physical condition of the players detected by Li Mudi through FM, but the Torino coach is still skeptical that Sturalo, who was originally only good at fighting in the middle, will be put on the side, and if Allegri really does this, it will be a love to the end. This almost announced that the offense on one side was basically abolished, which was definitely a good thing for the defense of the Torino team, but can this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing really be caught up by himself, Li Mudi felt a little unreliable.

However, the starting list that was announced before the game gave him a surprise, and all the previous reports in the media were fulfilled, Juve's squad today compared with the one in Monaco three days ago, there were eight personnel changes, except for Mandzukic and Dybala in the front, only central defender Bonucci is the absolute main force in the team, and everyone else is a rotation player.

The formation is a 4-4-1-1 and 4-2-3-1 free rotation setup, with the exception of the three and the pre-determined Neto, Cuadrado and Sturalo, with Ghanaian midfielder Asamoah at left-back, Swiss veteran Lichtsteiner at right-back and Morocco international Benatia on loan from Bayern Munich at centre-back. The two central midfielders are German Khedira and Venezuelan defender Rincón, who has been spotted by the Torino club and has not been able to play for a long time.

The visitors, on the other hand, continued their usual 4-2-3-1 position in recent times, with Joe Hart, Zampacosta, Ranocchia, Rosettini, Barreca, Akwa, Baseli, Farke, Rajjadzic, Boyer and Belotti making up the starting line-up for today. The reason why the midfield position was put on Akwa and Benassi was put on the bench was also to strengthen the protection of the backline, even if the opponent was not fully playing, but the offensive ability could not be underestimated.

Before the start of this game, this round of Serie A has already ended a contest, Napoli sat at home to beat Cagliari 3-1 in the middle and lower leagues, temporarily surpassing Roma by 2 points and coming to the second place in the standings. Mertens' two goals took his tally to 25, level Dzeko for second on the scorers' list and five goals behind Belotti, who had already suffered a two-game goal drought.

After the coaches and players shook hands off the pitch, referee Paolo Valéry blew the whistle for the official start of the game, and the Bianconeri, the home team that kicked off first, launched an attack without probing. After a pass from the right was blocked off the touchline, Dybala's cross hit Bareka's leg and went off the line, and in less than 30 seconds, Juve won a corner and showed aggressive momentum.

However, the corner did not pose much of a threat, as it was pushed out by the tall Ranocchia at the first point, and the home team that grabbed the second spot failed to complete a good combination, and finally handed the ball to the feet of the Torino team with a passing error.

In the next two or three minutes, the battle between the two sides in the midfield was very fierce, but the old and spicy Juventus still used their ability to reverse their feet in the midfield and gradually controlled the rhythm of the game, forming a main attacking situation. However, due to a couple of problems with the players up front, as well as the visitors' consistent focus on the defensive end, they only managed to complete two long-range shots that were far off the line, failing to pose any threat to Joe Hart's goal.

With multiple cameos on the pitch, the home team's movement was a bit unusual, with everyone switching positions frequently, making the Torino players a little overwhelmed at the start, but after a few minutes of getting used to it, they gradually found their way.

In the fourth minute, Rincón, who was originally playing in the back, came to the right side, got rid of the defense and crossed with his feet, but unfortunately the ball was unanswered at the back point and flew out of the far sideline. In the sixth minute, Juve's backfield pass error was broken, Boyer dribbled to the left side of the penalty area and dribbled continuously, but did not find a good way to get the ball, and was cut off under the siege. Four minutes later, the home team moved the ball to the right in succession, Cuadrado knocked back, and Lichtsteiner's cross into the box failed to pass Ranocchia, and was cleared off the line. Then a corner from the right was driven to the back post, Bonucci stepped in to the top, but unfortunately could not get it on target, and the rebounding ball was kicked out of the box by Acwa.

Taking advantage of the fact that the battle situation was a little boring, the broadcaster's camera began to scan the stands of the stadium, and they really caught a few big shots. Juventus legend and former UEFA president Platini, who was banned from football affairs by the FIFA Arbitration Committee for six years for financial reasons, also came to watch the game, and he looked in good shape compared to the previous fortune, and won a lot of applause when his picture was shown on the big screen in the stadium.

Back on the field, although the situation was a little unfavorable, the Torino players actually never gave up the opportunity to counterattack, but the opposing players were also more cautious after the mistake just now, so they failed to find too good opportunities. In the twelfth minute, after Cuadrado's cross was headed out, Baseli's long ball finally found Belotti in front. The latter, with the help of Boyer and Falke, forced the ball to the right of the top of the penalty area under the bag of three defenders, and suddenly took a long-range shot, but unfortunately failed to grasp the crosshair, and the ball deflected off the left post.

However, the home team also played a clever wide break, because Sturaro's technique was too rough, so Dybala, who frequently appeared on the left after the opening, used his super individual skills to wipe Zampa Costa and then chose to cut inside. Seeing that the situation was not good, Rosettini also failed to take advantage of the one-on-one encounter, and after eating a feint and being shaken off the center of gravity, he had to pull the Argentine's jersey with his hands, and in addition to giving the opponent a well-placed free kick, he also received the first yellow card of the game.

After that, Juventus suddenly organized a wave of strong attacks and almost completed the goal. In the fifteenth minute, Mandzukic won another corner after his long-range shot was blocked, and Dybala drove the ball from the left and headed straight into the middle. Benatia struck a powerful header over Ranocchia on the edge of the six-yard box, but Joe Hart didn't make a save, just watched the ball fly towards the goal at breakneck speed. This time, however, luck was on the side of the Torinoes, as the ball hit the crossbar and slammed into the goal line before bouncing back into the box. At this time, many people outside the stadium were looking at the goal-line referee, and the gesture of not scoring a goal made the supporters of both sides feel the exact opposite emotion.

However, the alarm in front of the visitors' goal was not lifted, and the second drop was won by Sturaro at the front post, who had to fight to cross the ball back into the middle of the middle due to Zampacosta's interference. In the face of this header that seemed to be a pass, the England international subconsciously made a save and slapped the ball out of the small penalty area with his left hand. But who knew that he was caught by Bonucci, he got up with his right foot and volleyed the ball vigorously, but under the interference of Ranocchia, he kicked an anti-aircraft gun and failed to take advantage of the half-empty goal opportunity when the visiting goalkeeper had fallen to the ground.

After missing out on this unexpected golden opportunity, Leonardo Bonucci looked incredulous with his head in his hands, while the home fans who watched the game let out a neat lament. At this time, the broadcaster also gave a slow-motion replay of the header just now, which proved that the judgment of the referee on the baseline was indeed accurate, and the whole of the ball happened to be tangent to the outside of the goal line, which was indeed not a goal.

After a few seconds of remorse, Bonucci temporarily regained his composure and turned around to run back to the backcourt, just in time to bump into Ranocchia, who had just gotten up. The two old team-mates who had played alongside the national team in Bari looked at each other and smiled, and then the Juventus centre-back jokingly put his head on the face of the opponent, seemingly complaining that "let your kid interfere with my shot", and Ranocchia smiled and patted his best friend on the shoulder, and did not fall to the ground in pain as some dark-hearted guys thought, and deceived the referee into sending off the opponent with a red card.

This scene of interaction between friends was recorded by the camera, and it became a different scene in the Turin derby, which has always been full of gunpowder, and was reported by many media after the game, which can be regarded as an alternative condiment.

However, after the restart, the players of the two teams did not continue to carry forward this spirit of camaraderie, and gradually found their rhythm of the home team began to attack frequently, while the main defensive counter-attacking side of Torino was always ready to switch from defense to attack, always using concise passes to deliver cannonballs to the front Belotti.

In the eighteenth minute, Juventus's long pass to the front was fought by the defenders, and the active Sturaro did not stop the ball and shot directly, but the difficulty was too great, and his ability did not reach the level of a top striker, so the ball deviated a lot from the left post to help the opponent clear the siege. Torino then responded with a play, but Zampacosta's cross was a hair's down the line with Belotti in the middle, otherwise it would have been a great opportunity.

In the 24th minute, Cuadrado went straight to the ball, and Lichtsteiner picked up a pass in the penalty area to find Mandzukic who was successful in the anti-offside position, but unfortunately the Swiss right-back failed to master the strength, and the ball went directly out of the bottom line. Torino launched a quick counter-attack from the left, Bareka crossed and Falke volleyed straight at the top of the box under the cover of Red Bebe, but it was also deflected wide of the post. Li Mudi came to the sidelines to signal the players not to be too impatient, even if the opponent's pressure is very strong, do not easily try unsure offensive methods, or be patient and find better opportunities again.

In the 28th minute, the home team played a dangerous counter-attack with the Torino side gradually improving and starting to bring the game back to an even position. Cuadrado received Dybala's long-range through ball and fired a very curling cross from the right, and Mandzukic, who followed up in the middle, fired over the crossbar as Ranocchia fell to the ground.

Two minutes later, the unusually active Dybala broke through on the right flank near the baseline and was brought to the ground by the returning Akwa. The Argentine then played a beautiful tactical set-piece and fed the ball to Lichtsteiner on the right side of the penalty line, who adjusted slightly and struck with his right foot. With the visitors' defenders focused on scrambling for headers near the six-yard box, there was no timely reaction to the Swiss full-back's shot to create an effective interference. However, his foot wind was really not smooth today, although he hit the goal, but the power was not enough, and Joe Hart, who had plenty of time to prepare, single-handedly blocked the near corner, once again squandering a rare good opportunity.

In the 36th minute, Torino completed a similar combination, Barceli took a tactical corner from the right, Zampacosta moved the ball to the edge of the box, and Rajadzic followed up with a long-range shot that went over the crossbar. The shooting training in the first few days did not seem to have a very good effect, so far the away team's 4-0 performance is really too ugly, but fortunately, they did a good job on the defensive end, only allowing Juventus players to get 7-of-1 shooting data, and the caddies in this game are also quite hard!
