So it's been awhile since I wrote about Serie A but I'm writing this blog because Juventus have secured there 5th league title in a row and boy is it a sweet victory for everyone involved at the club.
It's been a long eventful season but Juventus turned around a terrible start and ended up on top of the pile once again. Now they just need to focus on the Copa Italia and the dream of a double will be complete.
How did the season unfold ? Well this season has been one of ups and downs and it started in the worst fashion possible. After losing the core of great players that helped them win 4 leagues in a row Juventus had the task of replacing Tevez , Vidal and the legendary Pirlo Players like Pogba and Pereyra had to show they could perform without there world class teammates beside them. It's been a tough task but like everything in life things move on and people evolve and Pogba did just that he was given the legendary number 10 and had the task of being the attacking linchpin of the mighty Juventus at first it appeared to be to much of a weight to bare and his performance were not up to scratch there was even a bizarre moment where he appeared to write a number 6 on the back of his shirt some saying this was his why of trying to forget the pressure the No'10 shirt brings others seeing it as a form of disrespect to the clubs most famous number. It was certainly a tough time for Pogba but by the time Christmas came around he found his rhythm and his form and was back to his best and once again he was leading the team to victory with his mix of power flair and individual brilliance.
Diamonds are formed under pressure and that certainly seemed to be true of one man in the Juventus team Step Forward Paulo Dybala now before the season I spoke of how I believed Paulo Dybala could be the future of Juventus (check link below) and this season he certainly showed us how great that future could be. With the pressure of a big price tag and the responsibility of replacing his fellow countryman Tevez, Dybala had a lot of expectation on his shoulders but as I said diamonds are made under pressure and Dybala certainly proved his worth scoring 20 goals in 43 appearances a remarkable record for such a young striker in his first season at a big club.
Overall it's been a great season for Juventus even with there bad start they stuck together and pulled through it as a team. New leaders were found and new stars took the mantle and together they made Hi5tory. Though I've spent most of this review praising Pogba and Dybala it's important to remember every team is built on a strong foundation players that are legends through and through players that live and breathe Juventus players like Buffon , Chiellini , Bonucci and Marchisio who without none of this would be possible payers who when they retire will forever be remembered as legends among men.
