24 August 2019The Italian champions need only a goal from Chiellini to 'wet' the opening game of the new A series with a success.4-3-3 identical on both sides. D'Aversa joins Kulusevski with Inglese and Gervinho in the trident. Embarrassment of the choice for Martusciello (replacing the sick Sarri): confirmed Douglas Costa and obviously Ronaldo, Higuain wins the runoff with Dybala. In fact, none of the new Juventus signings took place on the field (excluding the return of the 'Pipita'). The first thrill gives it Ronaldo (high header), immediately followed by English (shot rejected by Szczesny). At 21 'the first goal of the championship: shot of Alex Sandro on a corner rejected, Chiellini's leg kicked for that will be the match goal. Ronaldo has the great chance of doubling up after a splendid play made by Pjanic and Higuain, then he finds the goal in the 34th minute but the Var cancels for offside.
Parma aggressive at the start of recovery, Juve suffers but contains. Siligardi enters for the young Kulusevski. Ronaldo raises his aim on an inviting ball to centroarea. Debut for Rabiot, Khedira makes room for him. Still Ronaldo in action, a central left that Sepe somehow rejects. Outside also Douglas Costa (suffering from cramps), enters Cuadrado. Still Ronaldo, Sepe locks the diagonal to the ground. The rhythm declines, the benches resort to the last resources: Grassi and Karamoh for D'Aversa, Bernardeschi for Martusciello. The new entries of Juventus appear disoriented (above all Rabiot), Parma tries the last assault but produces only a blow of Hernani on punishment that hisses to the side under the watchful gaze of Szczesny.
