Roma take big match, Juve pointless

Roma take big match, Juve pointless

'I've set another record' says Allegri

A superb free kick by Miralem Pjanic and an imperious header from Edin Dzeko gave AS Roma a 2-1 win over Juventus in the first big match of the season Sunday to leave the four-time straight Serie A champs pointless after two matches for the first time ever.
    A late goal by Paulo Dybala was scant consolation for the Turin giants who were comprehensively outplayed by the only team that gave them a run for their money, for half the season at last, last time around.
    "We didn't win one tackle," said Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri who after setting an all-time points record of 102 last season, wryly added: "I knew it, I always manage to go down in history". "Never has a season begun with so much uncertainty, of how we play and the players at my disposal," Allegri went on.
    "We're Italian champions and vice champions of Europe (after a 3-1 defeat to Barcelona) but we've been well and truly whipped".
    Allegri was said to be banking on the return of Claudio Marchisio and Sami Khedira to revitalise a midfield that looked terribly sluggish and short on ideas against the Giallorossi, with France star Paul Pogba having another ill-tempered nightmare.
    Asked about the young midfielders's hapless contribution, Allegri was very harsh, saying: "A four-year-old kid doesn't know how to write yet".
    Juve appear to have suffered tremendously from the loss of legendary playmaker Andrea Pirlo, to New York City FC, and all-action Chilean attacking midfielder Arturo Vidal, to Bayern Munich.
    In an attempt to plug one gap, after a vain bid to get Schalke 04 and Germany leftwinger Julian Draxler, the Bianconeri agreed terms Monday with Inter Milan for Brazil attacking midfielder Hernanes.
    But another worry will be misfiring Croatia centre forward Mario Mandzukic.
    The big front man hardly touched the ball against Roma, negating Juve's newfound strategy of pumping long balls up to him.
    Up till now, he has been a disappointing replacement for Carlos 'the Apache' Tevez of Argentina, who returned to his first club Boca Juniors.
    But goalkeeper and skipper Gianluigi Buffon, the Italy captain, was optimistic, saying "we got strong players on the transfer market".
    "Zero points shouldn't be a part of our history," added the big keeper.
    "The only way out now," he said, "is if everyone takes responsibility".
    Meanwhile the Romans were cock-a-hoop, with captain Daniele De Rossi saying: "We played an incredible game" and adding "it was a pity about those 10 minutes at the end when we fell asleep".
    Coach Rudi Garcia said: "We showed the right attitude, this is the way to produce the right sort of game". Here are the weekend's full results: in Bergamo: Atalanta-Frosinone 2-0 in Bologna: Bologna-Sassuolo 0-1 (Saturday) in Modena: Carpi-Inter 1-2 in Verona: Chievo-Lazio 4-0 in Genoa: Genoa-Verona 2-0 in Milan: Milan-Empoli 2-1 (Saturday) in Naples: Napoli-Sampdoria 2-2 in Rome: Roma-Juventus 2-1 in Turin: Torino-Fiorentina 3-1 in Udine: Udinese-Palermo 0-1.
    Roma are joint second with Sampdoria on four points below five teams on the full six: Chievo, Torino, Inter, Sassuolo and Palermo.
