Simone Zaza Scores Against Carpi to Once Again Prove His Value to Juventus

Having already secured their fifth consecutive Serie A title, Juventus had little on the line as they welcomed Carpi to Turin on Sunday. They eventually emerged as 2-0 winners, ensuring—with just two rounds of the 2015/16 campaign remaining—that their opponents remained entrenched in the relegation battle.

However, victory for the Bianconeri extended their own incredible run of form, and head coach Massimiliano Allegri’s men have now triumphed in all but one of their last 26 league outings.

That streak extends back to October last year, but the Juve boss was nevertheless pleased to see his side retain their hunger as they await the Coppa Italia final against AC Milan later this month.

“I’m pleased with the win and especially the clean sheet,” Allegri told reporters at his post-match press conference. “Given we’d already wrapped up the league, it wasn’t easy to keep up our usual level of intensity.”

One player who did just that was striker Simone Zaza, who was introduced as a half-time substitute for the struggling Alvaro Morata. The Italy international delivered a superb 45-minute display, ensuring the visitors found no way back as he bagged the all-important second goal for La Vecchia Signora.
