Turin, 1 December 2021 – “Morata has not unlearned how to score goals. Against Atalanta he played one of the best matches this season both on a technical and character level. Sometimes there is persistence towards him and that’s not good “. He expressed himself in these terms Massimiliano Allegri on the eve of Salernitana-Juventus. A sword defense comes from his own striker, whistled by the fans of the Allianz Stadium after the performance against the Goddess and in the crosshairs of the critics for the poor contribution in terms of goals since the beginning of the season. The Spaniard felt the coach’s trust and repaid it by finding the goal that was missing in Serie A from Juve-Milan on 19 September.
Decisive at Arechi
An eternity ago. The fast (which in reality had already been interrupted in the Champions League and wearing the Iberian national team shirt) psychologically conditioned Morata, who proved to suffer from certain uncomfortable situations. The goal, not trivial, trimmed to Salernitana can only have restored self-esteem and tranquility. Also because having scored in such a moment, with the opponents pressing in search of the same, was decisive for the fate of a match that the Old Lady absolutely had to win. His entry into the field instead of an off Moise kean gave a shock to the bianconeri, who, not surprisingly, finished the match in crescendo.
Continuity sought
Now Morata is preparing to take back the starter cheeks for Sunday night’s match against Genoa, another opponent to beat at all costs to relaunch in the league. The Piedmontese will also rely on their number 9 to unhinge the resistance of the Griffin. At the former Real Madrid the task of not stopping and showing that Arechi was not an episode, but the first step towards a more reliable performance in front of goal. Juventus is desperately in need of goals and the right man – at least with the current squad – can and must be Morata, despite a seasonal score that remains deficient for now (just five centers between the championship and the Champions League).
