Juventus 2 – Cagliari 0 !!! That game was the game of life

It’s been six long years. Six years of waiting for Juventus to throw off the shackles of Farsopoli, waiting while we watched Inter win multiple Scudetti and Milan’s European triumphs. We’d been through a lot, through Serie B, to the terrible transfer policy of one Alessio Secco. Perhaps the darkest hour came in the winter of 2009/2010. Club legend (and then brand new coach) Ciro Ferrera did manage to lead his Juve side to an emotionally charged victory over Inter in December, but but January the team was sinking without a trace. A draw was considered a good result at that time. The team struggled for the rest of the season under replacement Alberto Zaccheroni (who coincidentally used a three man backline), before finishing 7th place and just barely making it into the Europa League qualifiers.

Last season, we were teased with the early play of Milos Krasic and Gigi Delneri’s unbeaten streak towards the end of the year. Lead scorer Fabio Quagliarella went down, and with him so did Juve’s season. Juve’s form dipped catastrophically, hitting rock bottom after a 2-0 loss to Lecce where Gigi Buffon was red carded early on in the match. Again, the team struggled in their fight for European football and fell short, finishing in 7th and not qualifying for the Europa League.

There were some positives last year. Milos Krasic at times looked like a phenom, we picked up Andrea Barzagli and Alessandro Matri, and of course pre-injury Fabio Quagliarella was on fire. But these positives were not enough to overpower the negativity and darkness of last season.

Gigi Delneri’s tenure was ended, and a new coach was brought in. Antonio Conte, the former Capitano himself, had returned to his dear Old Lady. Conte had experience coaching at Arezzo, Siena, Atalanta, and Bari. Some people had their doubts about whether or not Conte could deliver in Serie A. He’d brought Siena and Bari to Serie A from Serie B, but his only actual experience in Serie A came with Atalanta and ended with Conte resigning and the ultras hating him.

Any doubts that were had would eventually be proved wrong. Conte, along with Beppe Marotta, molded a team in his image. Hard working, tireless, aggressive, but most importantly, they were winners. This team, like Conte, did not go down. This was shown in the Great Neapolitan Miracle of 2011, when Juventus came back from a 3-1 HT deficit to tie the match 3-3.

This resilience was shown again. After blowing their three point lead over Milan after a rare error from Gigi Buffon, Juventus were very much at risk of losing the first place spot. A.C. Milan had to get through Inter (and they wouldn’t, losing 4-2) still, but Juventus had to recover from a serious error that could have derailed their momentum.

This is one of the sweetest Scudetti in Juve’s history. A new coach (who was already beloved by we Juventini) brought us from the hell of consecutive 7th place finishes, and forever vanquished the ghosts of Farsopoli. Juventus is back. Juventus has the best defense in the world. Juventus is the best club in Italy. Juventus is about to take the Champions League by storm next year.
