Bab 449: Serie A Debut I

The Chievo players seemed to have gotten a wake-up call after conceding the second goal. They arrayed themselves into a 4-5-1 formation and started playing with more intensity. Their hard work paid off, and they managed to choke Juventus' momentum. In the end, they even avoided conceding another goal until the first half ended.

After the fifteen-minute half-time break, the players of both teams returned to the pitch. And without any delays, the referee blew the whistle to restart the game with a Juventus kick-off.

Carlos Tévez, one of the two Juventus strikers, kick-started the second half by passing the ball back into his midfield to find Andrea Pirlo. The latter brought it under control as he assessed the situation on the pitch with his eagle-like vision. Then, the next instant, he drew his leg back and unleashed a lofted pass towards the left wing before any opponent could close him down.

Whoosh!
