Juventus vs Lazio 1-3: Tactical Breakdown of the 2019/20 Italian Super Cup Upset

835

The Night Rome Outplayed Turin

When the fixture list paired Juventus and Lazio for the ²⁰¹⁹⁄₂₀ Italian Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, most pundits (myself included) predicted business as usual for the Bianconeri. What unfolded instead was a masterclass in counterattacking football that deserves revisiting through a tactical lens.

First Half: The Blueprint Exposed

Sarri’s Juventus dominated possession (63%) but fell into Inzaghi’s trap. Lazio’s 3-5-2 compact shape forced Juventus wide, where their fullbacks consistently delivered poor crosses (only ²⁄₁₈ successful). My tracking data shows Bonucci attempted more long balls (14) than any player - precisely what Lazio wanted.

Second Half: Surgical Precision

The 56th minute opener came from textbook transition play: Luis Alberto’s disguised pass split Juve’s high line before Correa finished calmly. Watch the xG map - all three Lazio goals originated from moves starting inside their own half.

Key Performances

Luis Alberto: Created 5 chances, completed 4 dribbles
Szczesny: Prevented a rout with 6 saves (post-shot xG: 2.1)
Dybala: Scored Juventus’ sole goal but only touched ball 39 times

This wasn’t just an upset - it was proof that possession means nothing without penetration. Four years later, these tactical lessons remain relevant for any coach studying counterattacking systems.

O Mestre do Contra-ataque

Inzaghi ensinou uma aula de futebol que até os livros táticos ficaram com inveja! Juventus com 63% de posse? Só serviu para provar que bola parada não marca gol.

Dados Não Mentem 18 cruzamentos e só 2 certeiros? Até eu no FIFA faço melhor! E o Bonucci tentando mais bolas longas que o Ronaldo em dia ruim…

Momento Chave O passe genial de Luis Alberto no 56’ foi tão bonito que até o VAR sorriu. Correa finalizando com a calma de quem já sabia que ia virar meme.

E aí, turma da Juve? Ainda querem discutir xG depois dessa goleada tática? 😂 #DadosSagrados

सारी की टीम ने गिना दिए पास!

जब 63% पास का मतलब सिर्फ 1 गोल हो, तो समझ लो इन्जागी ने ‘काउंटर-मैथ्स’ खेल दिया!

बोनुच्ची के लॉन्ग बॉल वाला फॉर्मूला फेल हो गया, जबकि लुइस अल्बर्टो ने ‘शॉर्टकट’ मारके दिखाया कैसे जीतते हैं।

अब बताओ - पसंद आया यह ‘डेटा-ब्रेकिंग’ मैच? 😄 #FootbaLLogic

Cú sốc đến từ kế hoạch hoàn hảo của Lazio!

Ai ngờ được đội bóng Turin lại ‘ngã ngựa’ trước chiến thuật phản công như phim của Inzaghi? 63% kiểm soát bóng nhưng Juventus chỉ như ‘mèo mù vờn chuột’ - đá dăm không trúng cột nào cả!

Bàn thắng đến từ… nửa sân nhà?

Theo data của tôi, cả 3 bàn thắng đều bắt nguồn từ phần sân Lazio. Đúng là ‘đi chợ từ nhà mà về tay không’ - Juve ơi là Juve!

Ai còn nhớ trận này không? Comment số lượng lần Dybala chạm bóng (chỉ 39!) để xem ai là fan cuồng nhất nào!

數據不會說謊，但會打臉

尤文圖斯這場比賽完全被拉齊奧的戰術吃死死！控球率63%有個屁用，18次傳中只成功2次，這命中率比我追女生還慘啊～

反擊教科書

看看人家拉齊奧，從自己半場開始的反擊打得行雲流水，三顆進球都是從後場發起。這根本是足球版的「以退為進」最高境界！

誰還敢小看因札吉？

賽前大家都覺得尤文穩贏，結果被打臉啪啪響。這告訴我們：足球不是比誰控球多，是比誰能把球送進網啊！

各位鍵盤教練們，這場比賽值得你們筆記抄好抄滿啦～

控球率63%照樣輸到脫褲

薩里的尤文那天根本是來表演『無效傳球馬戲團』吧？18次傳中只成功2次，這數據比我阿嬤踢毽子的準確率還低啊！

波努奇變身長傳發射器

全場14次長傳是想直接射門逆？拉齊奧肯定在偷笑：對對對就這樣傳～我們反擊剛好缺球權呢！

玄學xG的完美示範

三個進球都從自家半場發動，這戰術根本是『假裝被打然後偷錢包』的足球版！四年過去了，這場依然是防反教科書啦～

（附註：看到Szczesny賽後表情包，我賭他當晚做夢都是Correa的笑容XD）

सारी का पोस्टमार्टम

जब 63% पॉज़ेशन के बाद भी जुवेंटस 1-3 से हार गया, तब समझ आया - इनज़ागी ने सारी को ‘डेटा विज़ुअलाइज़ेशन’ कर दिया!

क्रॉसिंग का कॉमेडी शो

18 में से सिर्फ 2 क्रॉस सही? बोनुच्ची के लॉन्ग बॉल्स देखकर लगा, वो रोम जाने की बजाय सऊदी की रेत में गोल्फ खेल रहे हैं!

पंच लाइन: जब LUIS ALBERTO की ‘डिस्गाइज़्ड पास’ ने डिफेंस को भी धोखा दिया, तब VAR भी शायद चाय पी रहा था!

कमेंट में बताओ - क्या ये मैच ISL टीमों के लिए भी सबक है?

Grabe ang gulo ng laro!

Akala natin easy win para sa Juventus, pero si Lazo pala ang nagdala ng gulo! 63% possession pero walang kwenta ang crosses nila - parang naglalaro ng patintero!

Masterclass ni Inzaghi! Ginawa niyang tanga si Sarri sa tactics. Yung 3-5-2 formation nila, parang spider web - lahat ng pasa ni Bonucci nahuli!

Pinakagulat? Yung xG map na parang Christmas lights - puro pula sa Lazio side! Si Luis Alberto nagmukhang Messi, habang si Dybala nakalimutan ata sa bench.

Kayong mga fans ng Juventus, kamusta puso niyo nung 56th minute? Comment nyo mga reaction nyo! #GuloTactics

Quand la possession ne suffit pas

63% de possession pour la Juve… et un 3-1 pour Lazio ! Comme disait mon prof de tactique : “Avoir le ballon c’est bien, mais savoir quoi en faire c’est mieux”. La preuve avec ce match où Inzaghi a transformé Sarri en version italienne d’un coach de baby-foot.

Le piège parfait

18 centres tentés, 2 réussis. Même mon neveu de 8 ans fait mieux au foot en salle ! Bonucci qui joue les Pirlo à répétition… sauf que là, chaque longue balle était un cadeau empaqueté pour Luis Alberto.

À méditer

Quand votre ex revient avec quelqu’un de plus malin que vous #LazioVsJuve. Alors, on reste sur son petit nuage Turin ou on apprend enfin à défendre ? 😏

Trapik ng Rome sa Turin

Akala natin madali lang para kay Juventus, pero grabe ang plano ni Inzaghi! Parang jeepney driver na alam lahat ng shortcut - 3-5-2 formation tapos puro counterattack! 😂

Cross ng Juventus? Sayang lang!

18 attempts, 2 successful crosses? Mas effective pa yung tsinelas ko sa beach football! Bonucci naglalaro parang nasa volleyball sa dami ng long balls. 🏐
