The goals of Bernardesca and Higuain brought victory to the team of Allegri in a difficult match against Fiorentina (2-0).

Quite for the foreseeable future, the first matches of the stage of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League are already visible, and the coaches of the participating teams begin to consider each upcoming fight from an entirely new point of view - as an opportunity to work out certain tactical moments through real game conditions. It is for this reason that getting into the already dense Juventus calendar of such a rival as Fiorentina should be regarded as an exceptional opportunity to prepare as best as possible for the match with Tottenham.

Football fans, who are closely watching the development of events in the Italian championship, certainly still have not cooled down memories of the autumn meeting of these two clubs. What can I say, that fight, literally, "glowed" with emotions on the football field. And this time the teams decided not to change the already established traditions - the first half was accompanied by a constant struggle on every fragment of the football field, and even with colossal pressure from the local "typhosi". However, in such a battle is not always prepared a place for dangerous moments at someone's gate. And it turned out in this case - the only dangerous blow came from the home team - Gilles Dias checked the strength of the goal post behind Buffon.

And, nevertheless, it is not entirely football events to remember this time for spectators - it is, of course, a question of an ambiguous episode from the penalty shoot-out to the goal of Juventus. The referee, at first, confidently pointed to the penalty mark, but, at the moment when Veretu was already ready to try to beat the opponent's goalkeeper, Juventus players began to actively challenge this decision. To their great happiness, Marco Guida still went to reconsider this episode with the help of video assistants. And, as the replay shows in teletranslation, I was not mistaken in my decision - the Fiorentina player was offside for a moment before the violation of the rules by Chiellini. On whose side was the "truth" in this moment - will show further analytical activities and, let's be realistic, not one trial in the institutions of football arbitration.

The second half was under full control of the "zebras". Most of all, the field was noticeable, played against his former club Bernardeschi. Especially "liked" the local fans his goal with a free kick in the middle of the half. It is worth saying that the blow turned out to be a sight, however, who is interested in Florence. But the ensuing celebration of the goal scored, for sure, will remain in the memory of the local public for a long time. Point in the match, rather prosaic, put Gonzalo Higuain, cold-blooded realization of the output one on one with the goalkeeper.

In general, Juventus spent quite a good workout before the upcoming game on Tuesday against Tottenham, along the way getting very important for the championship race three points. Fiorentina, in turn, is mired in internal conflicts in the club and is going through far from the best of times, which, in fact, is already a fairly ordinary factor for the club's dedicated fans.
