If the championship is like this, then look for the most comfortable chair to enjoy it until May: the first championship battle is a tornado of emotions, a hymn to irrationality and beauty. Juve wins first dominating Napoli and then collapses under the blows of the Campanians and then again collects the most absurd of victories: the Koulibaly own goal sets the final 4-3, which hardly in these parts and under Vesuvius will forget.

TO TWO FACES - "What are we seeing?", The Allianz Stadium is asked to 66 ', while it rubs the eyes and the people around it peels the hands: the Juve sarriana, indeed martuscelliana, is amused to to scramble the feared Naples. He does not know, however, that gasoline is about to end and that it is forbidden to sing too early in this marvelous little game: in a hurry you risk throwing the harvest and the comeback of Naples, as mocking as it is incredible, there to remember it. From 3-0 to 3-3, all of will and in just half an hour: the clumsy deviation of the Senegalese power plant in the last minute of recovery is only the last grain of sand that messes up the gear, but it is what it is happened before to be analyzed. Indeed, it is almost difficult to bring order to the madness: net of the final collapse, Juve has shown at times a surprising disparity. He is starting to chew the new creed of the technician, but he cannot turn off the light so soon. On the other hand, the initial shyness of the Azzurri weighed, pale to seem unrecognizable, for at least 65 ': the final comeback, however, gives hope for the title.

FIRST FACE — The first half of Juve is a rare jewel: speed combinations, occupancy of spaces, zero risks (apart from an initial miracle by Szczesny on Allan) and a hail of conclusions. From his box the Sarri convalescent will have liked, not imagining what would have happened. But much is also due to the meters kindly granted by Ancelotti: there Douglas Costa slips in like a blade in butter and Higuain, sumptuous, is the grand master of ceremonies of the evening. This time the fate, ruthless, has forced to hazard a novelty in the "Allegriano" score already seen in Parma: there is De Ligt in Chiellini's lands, praised by Allianz after knee trouble, and around his blonde mop a mountain of curiosity. The Dutch boy will show some serious naivety, his colleague Koulibaly will remember instead the dribbling of Higuain in the action of 2-0: super-matched and right at the intersection. See Naples and then mark, still that motto dear to Pipita. First it was a newcomer to open the game: speedy Danilo, who entered instead of the injured De Sciglio, had concluded the 1-0 counterattack in an amen. It took him 29 seconds of Juve and only one ball touched to cheer: there were worse debuts in football. Khedira could also have taken part in the first-time party, with a goal devoured in front of Meret and a crossbar turned.

SECOND FACE — In addition to Napoli, the Allianz would also seem to mark Cristiano, more affected than Parma. In the second half, while Ancelotti immediately tries to play the Lozano novelty in place of a disappointing Insigne (inside Mario Rui instead of Ghoulam), Cristiano adjusts his aim until the 3-0 goal: all over? Not at all, the party is starting now. While the public celebrates prematurely, Napoli has a nervous reaction at the same time as the Bianconeri mysteriously pull the plug: too much energy is spent, but the fall is worrying and noisy. The consequence is that Manolas headed in and Lozano in the center area (using a hole by Danilo and a late closure by De Ligt) brought the match back to 3-2 and in 3 ’they changed the script. The bianconeri should only defend themselves with order and instead fall again, with the same ball in the middle of the area is badly defended by De Ligt and partners: Di Lorenzo's goal (third goal of a newcomer) completes the comeback. An equal to remember in the annals, but even more incredible is the ending: Koulibaly, the man who had given Sarri unspeakable joy two years ago, gives another of equal size with an absurd own goal. Final worthy of an absurd game.
