JAKARTA - Juventus narrowly won over Spezia in the 28th week of the Italian League 2021/2022. In the match at the Allianz Stadium, Daniele Rugani was able to appear to help the team's defense.

Previously, Rugani was absent because he had to languish in the treatment room due to an injury. But in this match, he appeared from the early minutes.

Even though he did not list his name on the scoreboard, Rugani's performance, which was paired with Matthijs de Ligt, looked perfect in helping the team move.

Commenting on the opportunity to play with de Ligt, Rugani said he was happy. Moreover, the tandem can also be relied on in the field.

"I feel very comfortable playing in the middle (defense), with (Matthijs) De Ligt who is a great defender," said the figure who was on loan at Cagliari last season, quoted from the official Juventus website.

According to Rugani, De Ligt is also a typical aggressive gatekeeper who is also very physically strong. The cooperation between the two, helped the Bianconeri to an important victory.

Despite Rugani's comments about his performance with de Ligt, in this match Juventus won 1-0 over Spezia. Their only goal was contributed by Alvaro Morata in the 21st minute.

With this victory, the Bianconeri are now in fourth place in the Serie A standings with 53 points. They are six points ahead of Atalanta who are in fifth place.

Gian Piero Gasperini's polished squad itself still has one game postponed. That could be Atalanta's opportunity to continue to stick closely to Juventus.
