After the 1-1 stalemate at the Stadio Tardini, Antonio Conte stated “we were in control of the encounter”. Sometimes the result doesn’t tell the whole story and indeed, yesterday the only equal figure was the scoreline.
While the Bianconeri will take heart from the numbers they achieved, it will also increase the feeling of regret at a missed opportunity for three points.
With 654 passes completed at a success rate of 71%, it’s clear that the Juventus midfield moved the ball around better than Parma’s who could only boast 521 successful passes at 64%. With regard to individuals, the numbers were also encouraging as the four most accomplished passers in the encounter belonged to the Bianconeri: Pirlo, Caceres, Bonucci and Vidal. The away side also had the lion’s share of possession (53% to 47%).
Donadoni’s men were also outperformed in the attacking statistics. Attempts on goal read: Juventus 15-7 Parma (8-3 on target). Quagliarella posed the biggest threat to Mirante’s goal with seven shots, Pirlo and Pogba chipped in with two apiece and Belfodil led for the hosts with three.
Defensively there wasn’t much to choose between the two sets of players: Barzagli led in balls recovered for the Bianconeri whereas Paletta and Santacroce were most successful for the hosts.
Overall these numbers would usually signal a Juve victory but on this occasion Parma’s undefeated home run was left intact.
