Today in Sassuolo v Milan, Leao scored the fastest goal in the history of Italian Serie A. It took only 6 seconds from kick-off to goal, beating the previous record of 8 seconds
which lasted since 2001.
They say they have tried this pattern in training for months and were just waiting for the right opponent to put it into practice

Milan played an away match against Sassuolo today. Actually, I didn't expect that Milan could win this match. I thought that Sassuolo could win this match and Milan would get their first loss in the league. But they really surprised me. In my opinion, the only team that can defeat Milan seems to be Juventus now.

I think Pirlo might be the problem at this point because if he has not created some leadership already he never will. When a coach is no longer in control of what happens in the locker room that might be a problem.

You need to remember, In serie-A, Juventus also still unbeaten from the match day 1. I'm also not sure with Pirlo from the beginning, but as mentioned by @hd49728, Juventus is the only one with 10 goal concededd till week 12.

Quote from: acquafredda
Parma has been a tough opponent for Juve, historically speaking. If they do not get three points there they can forget about serie A.
I think no, they still have a chance, because there still 25 match after vs Parma, Juventus still can take the lead from Milan or Inter. The points gap with Milan only 4 points. The competition more interesting now, because, Milan underpressure, and Pirlo now proofing of his capability as potential coach in the future.

Next match. Milan will face Sassuolo, one of team that become a night mare for Milan, I think in this match, Milan will be struggling to get 3 points. Inter face Spezia, maybe we will se Inter on capolista.

Data might be still good but I personally do not like his way of playing. I mean, as a player, Pirlo was terrific such a great footballer, lamost a magician. Being a leader in the locker room is a completely different story. I am open to be proven wrong though  Wink
And, again, Juventus proved me wrong! Pirlo got celebrated a lot on every major sport media outlet after this huge win versus Parma. This time I am glad I did not bet against them!

Sassuolo vs AC Milan that would very interesting match I placed my bet on AC Milan because they will try to keep their momentum up by adding 3 points to get more strong position. Now they have more high chance of winning as per my opinion so let's see how they will perform today.
Milan is leading with 2 goals to 0 vs Sassuolo in the first half. Seeing the stats Sassuolo seems to be ruling the game but failing so far to score.
Inter 0-0 Spezia until now, that result is good for Juve tho Wink

One thing I notice about the first half is Sassuolo most of the time is dominating the ball with a lot of opportunities to score bad they end up not converting any goal. Milan on the other hand in the first half barely even have the ball but the good thing is both Leao and Saelamaekers converted with their goals. Game is not yet finish though so there is still a chance that this might end in a draw or Milan losing if they keep this kind of pace where they won't dominate the ball.

Its been 80 minutes and milan are still leading 2 0 even if they are not playing good its an important three points with some major players missing like ibrahimovic , rebic and bennacer i think they managed this match smartly.

A small info for who love numbers.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored 2 goal and he is now at 758 all time scored goal, very close to Romario (around 10 more goals) for the third spot.
I think you made a mistake with both names in your post. He is chasing Pele as the best professional goal scorer in the history of football. The numbers seems correct, he is about 10 goals short.

But not only this, Cristiano Ronaldo so far this solar year, from January to now scored 33 goals and now is he equaling Scirea in the all time Serie A goal in a solar year, we have 1 game left but this can be another step in his legend.
Gaetano Scirea was our exemplary defender. May he forever rest in piece. This is one of the lads I wish I could go back in time to see in action. You are thinking of Omar Sivori, an Argentinian attacker who played for Juventus in the 1950s - 1960s.

To me it seems that Pirlo has discovered that the attacking duo of Morata and Cristiano Ronaldo works well effficiently and creates chance for themselves too; which makes Pirlo 4-4-2 pressing, offensive tactics work to full effect. It remains to be seen how Juventus plays their next game before we conclude if they are efficient or inconsistent.

It's not a pure 442.

Pirlo's idea of football is innovative, it is about 2 schemes during the game.

So far he is using 3-5-2 while attacking and 4-4-2 defending.
Players are learning how to switch the modules during the game.

In the last 4 games Juventus improved a lot, if this is the real Juventus well there is nothing they can do to stop us.  Cheesy

Finally the hand of Pirlo has started, good pressing, good offence. This is the right path.

Parma destroyed 0-4.
A big win for Juve and my congratulations goes to Juventus, Pirlo and Ronaldo, a team as well. In the match, some highlights need to note:
- You said Juventus playing performance and style were improved a lot, I agree with you. Better team, good results and less pressure on Pirlo.
- Ronaldo shows how good his jumping ability is in his age. The pass from Morata is good but look how Ronaldo jumped and made his headshot. Excellent
- Morata shows his efforts but I see he is still lack of confidence. He missed some good opportunities in the match. I hope the late goal will help Morata get more confidence for the second half of this season.

I agree that Parma vs Juventus match shows the dominance of the Juventus players, especially Ronaldo, who scored two goals, looked
very prominent and deserved to be the man of the match. Almost all Juventus players play very well, so it is very worthy of Juventus to
win the match with a score large enough. Indeed, apart from Ronaldo we also have to give appreciation to Pirlo, because of the 13 matches
Juventus in Serie A have never lost. With a 0-4 win from Parma, Juventus are only one point away from AC Milan who occupy the top position
in the table.

I always felt that real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo broke up it was a lose-lose situation,Real Madrid's record in the Champions League fell off a cliff,and Cristiano Ronaldo since worked in Juventus, though still the scoring machine,the 18~19 UEFA Champions League got into the final 8,the 19~20 season got into the final 16, wish 20~21 season Cristiano Ronaldo can lead Juventus to hold the Big Ear Cup.

when ronaldo arrived in italy, i was sure he would not score more than 15 goals per season, because the spanish league is very different from the italian one and i was sure that ronaldo would never integrate into our league, instead he scored over 30 goals per season with Juventus. I would also like to see Messi in Italy (who for me is superior to Ronaldo when he is in his best form) maybe at Milan or Napoli.

Parma is not a difficult opponent to beat, they have conceded many goals, it was normal for Juventus to win today, even with a heavy result like the 4-0.
Juventus must prove to be capable of winning with strong teams, in the last 4 games they have drawn with Atalanta and Benevento. in January he will have to play against Milan and Inter, there we will see if Pirlo has done a good job
Indeed, Parma did not prove to be a worthy opponent of Juventus in this match, although we will not forget how Parma played in the last round, taking points from Milan, which is leading in the championship. Cristiano Ronaldo scored his standard two goals and surprisingly did not resent the substitution at the end of the match and even smiled. None of the leaders yet looks invincible, so Juventus can take their place in the matches with Inter and Milan in January and become the leader of the championship.

Well, before Today only Napoli with Parma in their home.

But hey I'm not talking about the game itself but how the team is responding, after the game with Barca something has been changed.

Even last week with Atalanta and the 1-1 you could see the difference, in the last 3 years Juventus always got hard times with them while last week meh they could won easly if no mistakes were done in the last 10 metre.

It's not about the results but how the team is approching the game, something is changed in the last month.
