I want to start this ultra-important game preview off with a little bit of audience participation.
First, raise your hand if you
expected Juventus to be at the top of the table coming out of the winter
break. You won't be the only one. It's not exactly odd to say the
two-time defending champions will be at the top looking down at
everybody else.
Okay, one more of these things.
Raise your hand if you expected
Roma to be Juventus' closest competition coming out of the winter
break. Don't be scared. You can admit you were right. And if you are,
bravo to you for predicting that Roma wouldn't be the same Roma we've
seen that past couple of years — the one that provided laughs upon
laughs upon even more laughs.
But this Roma isn't that same as that Roma. Not even close.
Come tomorrow night in Turin,
the best Serie A has to offer will be stepping onto the Juventus Stadium
field for what will be one of the most anticipated games there will be
this campaign. Two weeks of holiday break will have come and passed, and
it will finally be time for Italy's top dog to face its closest
competition.
Not a bad way to start off 2014, huh?
This is the game that everybody
has been waiting for the minute the final games of 2013 ended. With a
victory, Juventus has the chance to put serious room between themselves
and the competition. While, at the same time, Roma can cut Juve's lead
atop the Serie A table to all of two points with a win of their own.
So many potential outcomes, so many different angles regarding the most important game of the season to date.
