A 23-year-old student suddenly made his debut in the Turin team.

In the central match of matchday 13 of Serie A, Juventus hosted Inter. The guests surprised us with their starting eleven from the first minutes. Allegri chose Caviglia, 23, as a defensive midfielder. The Juventus footballer was loaned out, but now he debuted with his local team and Locatelli remained on the bench. Looking ahead, Caviglia did not leave the match, although he was not allowed to play the entire match.

In the first half, the teams exchanged goals that were surprisingly similar. First, Chiesa attacked quickly, brought the ball into the area and rolled it under Vlahovic’s shot. The Serbian shot confidently into the corner and then made a full play to celebrate the goal. At first he pretended not to understand why everyone was happy, then he demonstrated with a gesture that they said, talk about me, I’m listening. After that, he bowed to the fans and repeated the gesture, apparently hinting at criticism towards him.

And almost immediately after, Thuram ran into space on the wing and crossed for Lautaro Martínez. Tom had to make a maneuver to confuse his opponent and get ahead. Then came an accurate shot into the far corner: 1:1.

For the Argentine, this is goal number 13 in 13 rounds of Serie A, a great indicator. Lautaro, of course, is the top scorer of the current Italian championship. For his part, Marcus Thuram regained his lead in the assists list (six assists). And, by the way, he did it in front of his father, who played five seasons at Juventus.

But the second half was much less spectacular: a lot of fighting in the midfield and very few chances. None of the rivals were willing to open up. Especially when there is such a clear tendency to score on counterattacks.

The only thing that livened up the match a little was the appearance of Cuadrado at the end of the match. The Colombian, after eight seasons at Juventus, arrived at Inter this summer. The Turin fans not only whistled when he entered the field, but also every time he touched the ball. Sometimes sparks literally flew after such touches. Juan received a yellow card and in another episode he himself received a warning, the only one in 90 minutes for Juventus.

After this tie, Inter remained in first place and maintained a two-point lead over Juventus. The Serie A leader has another great rival in the next round: the current Italian champion, Napoli.
