One of the most important things that former coach Massimiliano Alegre has been coaching during his five years at Juventus has been the manner in which he won five consecutive Serie A titles.

Allegri has repeatedly stressed that his team must control the rhythm of the game, and avoid continuous attack even in the face of modest teams.

This method has already proved effective, but at the end of his training period Juventus have become a team that does not offer a pleasant ball worth seeing.

Maurizio Sarri, who took over from Alegre this season, took a completely different approach, which he made clear after Saturday's 2-1 win over Bologna, a victory that kept Juventus at the top of the standings. ".

"I told my players that we should not just control the game and keep our progress or play relaxed, because we would risk leaving ourselves in a risky position in the end; we have to keep attacking to ensure the result."

Juventus also owe their victory to veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who pulled a dangerous ball from Bologna's Federico Santander in injury time.

Buffon may be 41, the second sense in the team after Polish Wojciech Szczecin, but Buffon is still as agile and flexible as he always was, which he proved when he pulled the ball away with his fingertips to save his team from a dangerous shot by Santander.
