Yes, Juventus' defeat against Lazio means they will be closer to the teams below them, I mean with this defeat they might be more threatened by Bologna and also AS Roma. Juventus must be able to get up as soon as possible because if they always show something like this then be prepared for them to be thrown out of the top 4 of the standings. They failed to win in the 4 matches they played in the last match, which makes them even more threatened.
They were one of the teams that I believed in at the start of the season, I saw great potential that they could show this season, but it turned out that they were increasingly declining as the competition approached the end of the season. Obviously this is something bad for them because when they were competing with Inter Milan they also ended up being very far behind now and this meant that INTER Milan could comfortably be at the top of the standings without any interference they received. This happened partly because Juventus experienced a lot of decline.
The season hasn't been quite adventurous for Juventus as they've been indicted to not taking part in the Europa League. They've been focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they've been doing excellently well in it. They've even got a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect players' physical capabilities too. Although, inasmuch as a weighty gap is expected of them, Inter Milan has made it difficult because they've also been in their best form. At thesame time, it'll not be hard to stay in shape to earn a ticket to next season's European contests.
Lazio have not really been performing at the usual pace we all know them to be at. They've got more work to do on themselves. The threats are high no doubt. The league is getting tougher and it's difficult for them to meet up or bounce back to somewhere meaningful at the top. At least, they were in the Champions league, where they'd been able to prove their worth there buh odds for advanced for them was low. Their strength should just currently be majored on the Serie A league. They have to stay in the games and acquire meaningful points too.
Although they are not really the biggest team currently in the league and still they've tried to stay relevant and it's one feat they strived to attain by positive weekly game results. They've been able to gain grounds to be on top at the end of the season's first half. Judging from their performance so far, they've got what it takes to finish at a very stable spot this season. They're good at what they do and they're relentless in their strides.
