VIDEO: Kean lasted just 40 seconds on the pitch against AS Roma before kicking Mancini and going to the showers
A frustrating evening for Juventus on Sunday, led by Massimiliano Allegri, who tried to get at least a point against AS Roma with various substitutions. Perhaps that’s why Moise Kean came on at the end of the game. However, nobody expected him to last even a minute on the pitch.
A frustrating evening for Juventus on Sunday, led by Massimiliano Allegri, who tried to get at least a point against AS Roma with various substitutions. Perhaps that’s why Moise Kean came on at the end of the game. However, nobody expected him to last even a minute on the pitch.
The main hero of Sunday’s duel was Gianluca Mancini, who not only scored the only goal of the match in the 53rd minute, but also provoked the Italian striker to commit an act for which he was subsequently forced off the pitch.
It all came down to the end of the game when Allegri sent Keane on to the pitch in the 89th minute for Juan Cuadrado, who came very close to scoring, but the goal was against the woodwork.
But after 40 seconds, the 23-year-old striker was off the pitch again when referee Fabio Maresca awarded him a red card for kicking Mancini.
Despite being the more active team, Juventus could do nothing about the state of the match and after 7 games (6 wins and 1 draw), Old Lady fell.
Juventus on 6. Atalanta are already 7 points behind the 6th place, while Jose Mourinho’s charges are in 4th place, with only 3 points behind the 2nd place Inter. At the same time, AC Milan is breathing down their necks, with the same points as AS.
For Keane, then, it is certainly not a positive event, as he has indeed started 32 league games this season, but in the vast majority of them always only for a few minutes. Even so, he boasts 7 goals, but also 4 yellow cards and now one red card, all in Serie A.
Juventus now face a Europa League double-duel with Freiburg, a great opportunity for them to qualify for the Champions League, which they will find hard to win due to the points deduction in the Italian league.
However, the road to the cup won’t be easy as they will have to face a trio of heavyweights – Manchester United, Arsenal, Sevilla. But there are other quality teams in this competition like Leverkusen or Sunday’s humiliator Juventus. And we all know very well how capable José Mourinho is in the cups.
