The championship duel between Juventus and Chievo have always been in the new millennium, since the gialloblu are in Serie A with an almost fixed presence, while the first official match dates back to August 31, 1994 in Coppa Italia. It is a dense story, which has always reserved surprises and unexpected protagonists in Turin.
THE FIRST TIME
It is not a way of saying that the first Juventus-Chievo is really a historic match. Not only because it was the first time in the championship between both teams, it was also due to the circumstances. It was disputed on September 15, 2001, 4 days after the tragedy that hit the USA. and to the whole world, remembered with great emotion by the audience of Delle Alpi.
Chievo arrived in Turin as leader, thanks to 2 wins in their first two games. And at twenty minutes it seemed that a third could come with the double Marazzina. But Juve managed to turn the scoreboard thanks to Tacchinardi, Tudor and Salas.
HAT-TRICK OPPOSITES
Score 3 goals and not win the game. This is what happened to two Chievo strikers, Oliver Bierhoff and Sergio Pellissier. The German managed to score three goals in the last day of the championship 2002-03. But it did not help much, as a goal at the end of Cristian Zenoni gave the bianconeri the victory to certify a tournament they had already won mathematically, while the Veronese saw escape the qualification for the UEFA Cup. More fortunate was Pellissier (who holds the record of presence with the gialloblu), that with his hat-trick allowed his team to conquer a point in the spectacular 3-3 played in the Olympic.
