“We proved that we are a team, a great team, despite the obstacles that were presented during the game.
“We brought home a victory that is fundamental for the whole season.”
The turning point inevitably came after 29 minutes, when Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off for seemingly tugging Jeison Murillo’s hair.
“As far as I could see, it was a pretty normal clash. Murillo put his hands on Ronaldo first, he reacted, but these things can happen and we must be stronger than everyone and everything.
“Ronaldo was angry, of course. The referee saw what he saw – not very well – and we overcame the obstacles.
“We must continue being a team and personally I’ll keep trying to give my best on the field and off it.”

Good performance from him. I noticed somethinv interesting tonight. Valencia attempted to press us early on and quickly gave up due to him and cancelo being able to play through it with ease, valencia were forced to drop back and we were dominatinh the game until the red card.

We never would have had this performance last season with licht and benatia starting

#home #hungrierthanever #vitaltoCL

good performance except for 2 actions.

 

[JuveJay]

Much better but the horrible flaw of standing and watching crosses will never go away.

 

[Cronios]

His worse action was diving for the penalty, that resulted to our second goal and securing the win!

 

[Alen]

Has to be said...
Watching Chiellini-Bonucci defend is like watching Xavi or Pirlo create. for both of them

Also has to be said...
Caldara and Milan

 

[K.O.]

Great game overall. One mistake that keeps happening though is ball watching on crosses. Valencia almost caught us on one late in the game. I guess it'll be corrected by spending more time training with Juve after taking a year off clowning in Milan.

Allegri was rightfully livid in injury time when Bonucci stood and watched a cross go right over his head to Rodrigo, who headed it wide, next to him.

This isn't lacking in defensive ability. It's just lazy defending or he has a weird fight or flight thing when he sees a cross coming in these days.

He used look weird in 1 on 1s before, now this too. Needs to sort it out. One mistake is all it takes in some games.

As much as I HATED him being allowed back, Bono is here for good now and hope for his best play to help Juve. Yes, his defense might be not top notch but the ball is in Max's court to get the most out of Bono (one of the best CBs going forward) offensively to help the team. CR7 didn't come here to play a defensive style of football. Up your game Max!

This is what happens when you spend one season at Milan needs some more training sessions to sort out this problem

Yeah that was his best game since coming back to us. Him and Chiellini were immense at the back, heading, clearing and tackling everything in their path.

Yep he switched off on that one cross near the end, that Rodrigo missed (luckily) Needs to sort that out ASAP.

Reading too many "Bonucci was amazing" type comments.

Bonucci was decent overall, but it was far from a perfect performance. That lapse at the end isn't a small deal for a defender. That's what happened with Benatia vs Real and Napoli last season.

And he wasn't tested all that much. Midfield and Chiellini did a good job in front of him and Valencia didn't. Chellini was the stopper, and Bonucci covered the space well and didn't have as much to do. 0 tackles, won one header, intercepted once, cleared 4 times (Chiellini 10 times in comparison), and blocked 4 (which is good, same as Chiellini).

People think everything was perfect because we won 2-0 (like how everything is wrong when we drop points). Bonucci wasn't.

He's very important for us, but that wasn't an "immense" game.

needs to higher his motivator again to teach him how to not lose concentration.

stil had a great game. he's a big game player.

bonucci is having a mixed season so far. his passing is as cool as ever, he fits our gameplay as a glove, it's reassuring to always have a confident guy on the ball in the heart of the backline. defending one on one and handling high crosses is a different matter. still a way to go until he hits top form.

 

[Kopanja]

Glad to see you back, Leo

I don’t remember him being this bad at dealing with crosses. Still has the stink of Milan in him unfortunately.

Never saw him defend well 1 on 1. That's just not gonna happen. And that's fine as long as we don't leave him isolated.

But he needs to start heading the crosses. I'm sure he will eventually.
