Porto's setback did not make any grace in the Juventus environment. Despite the fact that Chiesa's goal leaves the classification completely open, the club expected much more against an affordable rival in such an important event for its future. The Vecchia Signora perhaps paid off for his lack of experience: among movement players, after Chiellini's injury, only Danilo, Cristiano and Alex Sandro were over 25 years old.
The entity chose to rejuvenate and that, in a competition like the Champions League, can take its toll. According to 'Tuttosport', the club is “enraged with the team” and asks Pirlo for a mental boost. They did not like the way their eleven jumped onto the field at Do Dragao and they want the coach to know how to convey to the boys the importance of certain games. The group “has lost anger” and must leave behind “the fear of closing the season without winning anything.”
There is a long season ahead: in addition to the second leg with the Portuguese, Vecchia Signora must come back in the League, where eight points (and one game less) separate them from the leadership. The positive side of this moment is just this: the Bianconeri, despite everything, are still alive in all competitions. Before the defeats against Naples and Porto, there were six consecutive victories, the victory in the Super Cup (just before the Azzurri) and the place in the Cup final won against Inter. Pirlo has time and means to wake up his people. Juve does not want more scares.
