On Sunday evening, the team made their debuts as many as two footballers acquired during the winter transfer window: Serbian forward Dusan Vlahović (acquired from Fiorentina) and Swiss central midfielder Denis Zakaria (from Borussia Moenchengladbach). Both in the first match of the teams from Turin came out in the basic composition.
Great debuts at Juventus
The new players could be satisfied with their debuts. After just thirteen minutes, Vlahović gave the hosts the lead. The Serb got a great perpendicular pass from Paula Dybala and in a one-on-one situation he lobbed the goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipo.
– Old machine, new factory. Here are the foundations for a new empire. Juventus returns with a new face. He starts out like Ibrahimović, Dybala or Mandzukic – goal on the debut. The Serb did it beautifully – enthusiastic commentators on Eleven Sports.
In the 61st minute Denis Zakaria took the lead of Juventus. Alvaro Morata assisted with his hit.
This is the first time in eleven years that two debuting players have scored a goal at Juventus. The Chilean and Swiss Stephan Lichtsteiner showed the same feat in 2011.
Juventus after this win overtook Atalanta in the table and advanced to fourth place (45 points). He loses eight points to the leader, but has played one more game. Verona is ninth (33 points).
