Gotta think positive
this team went behind twice and overcame that to win. Almost never happened before and shows the strong desire to win. Remember when the team would go down and goal and completely collapse last few seasons?
this team went down a player and still played positive football. Almost never happened before In juve.
This team got fucked by Var and instead of wasting time crying about it, brute forced a win. Almost never happened before with allegri for his 9 seasons here.
All these are very positive signs to the shift in mentality by the team. I’m getting 2011 vibes again

Tactics are important but not as important as mentality and skills. It was those two things that made Dusan score that world class goal, Mckennie steal the ball like he was Vidal at his prime and Chico get past defenders like they weren’t even there.
This is where Allegri really failed imo. He was unable to get them in the right mindset and have the freedom to play positive. That mofo was scared to death to take any risks. Motta on the other hand has done it within just a few months.

Thiago so far seems to have blended his Brazilian (old school) attacking mentality with a balanced Italian defensive approach when needed. I quite like this tbh.
But your overall point is correct. To win in football these days, you need to be much more courageous. Perhaps Allegri (and Conte’s) more cautious and risk-averse approach worked a few years ago, but winning (in Europe) requires more bravery, risking the play more and self belief. We had none of those traits in previous seasons.

He had to turn his body so it's still natural movement.

Well
Would it make sense to say
With a courageous approach and results like this game, reaching the semis eventually
The rate of the new fan base would be higher than the conservative approach and still reaching semis?
Nuetrals are actually watching Juve games more than before.. well, at least those that I am connected to.
This is important for the future and being a sustainable club

I know that the referees have to blindly follow the rules, whatever they are, but imo common sense should prevail. For example, on Wednesday there were three situations where it could have been applied:
1. Penalty on Vlahovic or not? Vlahovic touches the ball and then he is fouled. The ball is kicked out by the Leipzig players. With or without the foul, the same would have happened. The foul didn't change anything. The rules might say that it's a penalty, but I wouldn't have given it.
2. Di Gregorio handles the ball outside the penalty are. If he didn't, the Leipzig player would have been clear in front of an open goal. It's a red card, no matter of Di Gregorio's intention wasn't to handle the ball.
3. Douglas Luiz handles the ball. If he didn't, it would have hit his upper body or face and pretty much the same would have happened. His handball changed nothing and that's why I'd never give a penalty for that.
