The current week saw an atypical series of matches in Serie A that will conclude tonight, with Napoli in need of a victory over Bologna in order to keep alive the fight for the edge of the championship.

However, the most shocking result among yesterday's matches was the defeat of Juventus, which was trumped by Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium.

Now Juventus stands 13 points far from the first position.

Something that the Juventini (Juventus' supporters) would have never expected at the beginning of the season.

After the risk that the society took last season, hiring a rookie coach such as Andrea Pirlo, this season was supposed to be far less troubled with the comeback of Massimiliano "Max" Allegri, already on Juventus' bench in the past season and winner of a huge number of trophies.

Coach Allegri hasn't found the right chemistry between his players, and the question now is: will he be able to do that in order for his team to still be able to compete for the first positions?
