Solidity, Consistency and Broken Tabus: Lessons Learned from Juve’s 10th Symphony

Juventus defeated Sassuolo in Friday’s anticipo in Serie A’s round 29

 

Impenetrable:

Ten. That is the number of games in-a-row that Buffon & Co. have not conceded a goal. Milan’s Serie A record of 1993-94 of 9 consecutive clean sheets has been smashed.

Four. That is the number of minutes that Juventus need to maintain their net goal less in the Turin derby of March 20.

Nine-hundred and twenty six. That is the number of consecutive minutes that Juve has gone without conceding a goal.

Twenty-three. That is the number of minutes by which Buffon has bettered the club record, set by the legendary Dino Zoff in the 1972-73 season.

It should be underlined that these records by Juventus are not only credit to legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon’s credit, but to the entire team’s defensive game. This is to credit not only Bonucci, Barzagli and Chiellini, not only the rest of those who played in defending positions, but all the players who took part of these 10 matches without conceding a goal. Witness to this are Mandzukic’s exemplary and tireless pressing on opposing defenders while they were in possession of the ball., particularly in the matches at Atalanta and this evening against Sassuolo.

during the Serie A match between Juventus FC and US Sassuolo Calcio at Juventus Arena on March 11, 2016 in Turin, Italy.
