recovering from two goals down, rediscovering the trait that used to define them: the ability to just win when they did not deserve to. And then, it was taken away from them by a VAR review.
The Polish striker has been a bright note in this disappointing start to the season for Juventus, joining on loan from Marseille at the end of the transfer window and scoring in each of his two previous league appearances. He has known mixed fortunes since leaving Napoli to join the French club last year, prolific patches interspersed with dry runs and niggling injuries.
Still, there is anxiousness among supporters. The re-hiring of Allegri last summer was supposed to mark a return to the “just win” mentality of the 2010s, an abandonment of the idealism that led the club to hire Maurizio Sarri and Andrea Pirlo. As Allegri reiterated: “We don’t need to be pretty, likable losers, but unpleasant winners.” Fail to triumph, though, and you are left with the worst of both worlds.
