The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 171: Juventus pass their Lazio test with flying colors

After a week filled with more off-field drama and uncertainty, Juventus delivered their best performance of the season against a Lazio side that went into the international break with a win over the reigning champs.

On Episode 171 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

• Takeaways from the week that was — including Juve’s international break was chaotic and the off-field issues could have distracted the team again ... but it didn’t, how possession continues to be a funny thing like it was against Lazio, and how there is an attitude difference in this season’s Juventus team and it’s most on display in goal celebrations.
• So, that win over Lazio ... pretty good!
• How significant of a chance — for the better! — this season has been so far and how Juve are getting it done on both ends of the field through their first four games.
• Not everything is totally great for Juventus right now, with Paul Pogba being provisionally suspended for failing a doping test and former captain Leonardo Bonucci reportedly suing the club for damages after being frozen out of the squad this summer.
• Social media question of the episode: Considering there were so many choices, who was the man of the match against Lazio?
