Juventus wins 1-0 at Lecce with Vlahovic goal after 12 seconds, taking a breath of fresh air in the Champions League qualification chase. The Bianconeri live a night at third place, +1 on Milan, but especially +4 on Roma and +6 on Como, engaged respectively tomorrow against Parma and Verona in away matches. The same window, however, slams into the face of Di Francesco's team, which now risks seeing its margin of light drastically reduced on Cremonese third-last, which can shorten to -1 by beating already relegated Pisa tomorrow. SPALLETTATA LAMPO – The Salentino coach confirms the eleven that won against the Tuscans in the last round, Spalletti, surprisingly, relaunches Koopmeiners as a starter after 8 games (and just 130' played), preferring him to Thuram, and finds Vlahovic from the 1' after 161 days from the last time (Juventus-Cagliari on November 29). And the moves of the Juventus coach are decisive at record time, already at kick-off. Yildiz receives the ball from Locatelli, makes a few meters and launches a long ball into the area where 5 teammates are already rushing. The Dutchman surprises Veiga behind and widens on the short side for Cambiaso, who puts it in the middle: Siebert goes to waste and sends Tiago Gabriel out of time, favoring the control of the Serbian number 9, who cools Falcone, making his desperate slide useless. It's the fastest goal in Juventus history in 21 years, on the podium of Serie A after Leao in Sassuolo-Milan (6 seconds, December 2020) and Lozano in Verona-Napoli (January 2021). A 'spallettata', the scheme at kick-off, like those on the placed that had scored many goals at the time of the Napoli sello scudetto. JUVE, SOLITI VIZI E VIRTU’ – Apart from the initial episode, however, the return to the ancient 4-2-3-1 after over two months benefits his Juventus: McKennie behind Vlahovic (and not deflected on the right in the middle) finds his comfort zone, Koopmeiners guarantees much more dynamism and passing than the last, injured, Thuram, and being able to count on Vlahovic allows the team to go more in search of depth, forcing Lecce to often find themselves man-to-man in defense. The team of Spalletti, however, shows its usual flaws: first, it always concedes something too much behind. Here, however, emerge the weak points of Di Francesco's formation, not coincidentally the worst attack in the championship: the opportunity for the equalizer comes to Cheddira's feet at 3', on Banda's assist, but the Moroccan spins around Di Gregorio, who is however reactive. Second vice bianconero: too many errors in passing, but especially inability to concretize the built-up play. Conceiçao at 4', after beautiful verticalization of Locatelli, is stopped by the post; Vlahovic once is repelled by Falcone (6'), the other kicks high a sort of moving penalty, after a beautiful ball recovered on the quarter by the Portuguese in aggression on a distracted Tiago Gabriel. STRADE OPPOSTE – When it's not the merit of the opponents or his own demerit, what denies the Serbian the joy of the double is a offside, like at 48', when, after playing flipper with Falcone, his joy is strangled by the VAR, which highlights an irregular starting position on the conclusion d
