Mathematically relegated for a few days after a season to forget, without winning since last December 30, 2023, Salernitana humiliated Juventus this Sunday (1-1) in a match that once again showed the many problems of the ‘Vecchia Signora’ .
There are 5 games in a row without winning in Serie A, 5 draws, that of a ‘Juve’ who, in addition to not playing European competitions, was removed from the Italian Cup a few weeks ago, so the fatigue that might affect other teams won’t affect you. The truth is, this is a team that played at the same level as a hopeless Salernitana, that has 3 coaches, has already been relegated and hasn’t won since 2023.
And it is no coincidence that the massive crisis of Salernitana, winner of only 3 games in the campaign, had a break at the Juventus Stadium, against a ‘Juve’ that has been drifting since the beginning of the year that is not even guaranteed to finish in the middle of the First 3 because of the Bologna project, which at the moment has overtaken them.
It was a goal from the Italian Niccolo Pierozzi about half an hour into the match, a header from a corner kick that the Polish Wojziech Szczesny failed to successfully clear under the sticks, that opened the scoring and put the desperate Juventus on the ropes.
A few minutes later, ‘Juve’ reacted and almost equalized when Cambiaso’s shot hit the post. But it wasn’t until the last minutes of the game, with Salernitana in place and all of Juventus focused on the attack, when they really came close to finding an equalizer that came in extra time. With Milik, Chiesa and Yildiz, and with Vlahovic and Kean on the bench, that’s where they started to create danger.
Miretti shot and hit the crossbar in the 90th minute, sinking Salerno’s team and giving his team a boost, even finishing off defender Bremer in the attack.
The siege paid off and in added time, from a corner kick Rabiot reached the far post to push into an empty net. The stadium barely celebrated. Not even Allegri. Not the players. It is success or failure. And the team is back on the attack. The problem was that Salernitana fought back and had one last big chance that Basic missed.
‘Juve’, in the end, was the team that was saved. There were 5 draws in a row and the feeling that the season seemed endless despite only playing Serie A. Salernitna added its 16th point, the first in 5 games.
