The two new recruits from Juventus have already convinced. In Juventus’ victory against Chivas de Guadalajara (2-0) last night in Las Vegas, Angel Di Maria and Paul Pogba scored points. For his first match in his new colors, the former PSG player was behind the opening of the scoring for Marco Da Graca (10th) from a corner. Mattia Compagnon then sealed the victory for Turin by scoring a second goal late in the game (80th).
But in addition to success, it is above all the technical communion between “El Fideo” and Paul Pogba, free party of Manchester United this summer, which makes the headlines in Italian newspapers. “What is striking is the understanding between Di Maria and Pogba, who seek and find each other with great ease. The Argentinian was the best, the Frenchman was dangerous,” enthused La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Same story on the side of Sky Italia, which praised the two new recruits from Piedmont: “Allegri can have a smile. Pogba speaks his own language. He and Di Maria roused the enthusiasm of the fans who watched the game at 5am that night”. Pogba and Di Maria, released at the break against the Chivas, will again be able to perfect their automatisms on Tuesday against FC Barcelona in Dallas and next Saturday against Real Madrid at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
