Massimo Pavan expresses profound disappointment regarding Juventus’s recent draw against Sassuolo, lamenting the two points dropped as an «immense burden» on the team’s ambitions. Pavan underscores the critical nature of the situation, stating, «The two points lost against Sassuolo are a huge burden. Now, we must hope Como slips up.»
He further elaborates on the path forward, indicating that for Juventus to regain ground, their rivals, specifically mentioning «the Larians» (Como), need to make crucial errors in their upcoming two matches. This strategy, Pavan suggests, must ideally coincide with Juventus securing consistent victories. He also notes the significant pressure on leading teams, adding, «Spalletti’s team (likely referring to Napoli, under Luciano Spalletti) can no longer afford any errors, but we must also hope for…» implicitly emphasizing the necessity for competitors to falter, thereby enhancing Juventus’s position in the fiercely contested league race.
