After the draw against Reggiana and the victory in the last friendly in Dortmund by 2 to 1, Juventus returned to the field in the traditional pre-season commitment against the Next Gen team.
Just a few days before the start of the new Serie A, Tudor's team overcame Next Gen by 2 x 0.
Douglas Luiz and Vlahovic scored the goals, but the match held more than one surprise.
The big surprise was Douglas Luiz, lined up right behind Vlahovic: at 15 minutes, the Brazilian opened the scoring with a header, taking advantage of a cross from the left after the goalkeeper rebounded his own shot.
A goal that also leaves a message about the future: the interest of the Premier League in the midfielder is concrete, but for now he responds with a ball in the net — and a possible sign for what's to come.
A few minutes later, Vlahovic had the chance to celebrate in front of the home crowd for the last time (?). However, the Serbian has not yet been able to overcome a very difficult moment and the public did not forgive.
Dusan, targeted by the bianconera crowd because of a very high salary that hinders his sale and blocks Juve's market, isolated the finish well above the goal — and the boos were inevitable.
Lack of personality is not a problem for the 24-year-old player: at 33 minutes, finally, he shook the net and silenced the boos.
The Serbian received a beautiful launch from Douglas Luiz and, face to face with Mangiapoco, this time he did not waste.
Juve went to the break winning by 2 to 0 – a score that would become definitive. Just six minutes after the start of the second half, the traditional field invasion by the bianconera crowd forced the referee to end the match.
The whole stadium descended to the field to embrace the idols: Juventus won the secondary team and the party took over Turin.
