JAKARTA - Despite all the difficulties and uncertainties facing the team recently, Juventus secured their 14th Coppa Italia with a 2–1 win over Atalanta.

La Dea actually performed better in the first half where Ruslan Malinovskyi's shot thwarted Dejan Dulusevski's brilliant opening goal.

Nevertheless, the Bianconeri performed strongly after the break and secured the victory thanks to Federico Chiesa's goal.

Let's look at three lessons we can learn from Wednesday night's battle as reported by Juvefc.com.

Not without a fight

Regardless of whether Andrea Pirlo will leave the club at the end of the season or not, the rookie coach has worked hard.

The playmaker celebrated his 42nd birthday on Wednesday and crowned him the second trophy of his young career. And when the final whistle sounded, it was clear how much it meant to him.

It must be said that Pirlo made good adjustments during the first half break. Seen from the performance of his players who were much better in the second half.

So, perhaps, Pirlo didn't completely fail.

The Future is the present

While Bianconeri fans were hoping Cristiano Ronaldo - or perhaps Paulo Dybala - scored, Juventus instead found another protagonist in the final.

Chiesa was named man of the match by the organizers after scoring the winning goal. However, with his spectacular goals and delicious assists, Kulusevski was no less deserving.

And don't forget about the contributions of Weston McKennie and Matthijs de Ligt.

Although the squad still needs a major adjustment, the presence of a number of talented young players is a huge relief for Bianconeri fans.

Another year

Unfortunately for the black and white squad, Gianluigi Buffon played his last game in a Juventus shirt on Wednesday.

However, supporters still expect Giorgio Chiellini to last one more season.

The captain made a solid transition in defense, and his potential departure will leave a huge gap in the backline.
