Benfica 2 – 1 Juventus EUROPA League Semi-final 1st Leg
April 25, 2014
Before a ball had been kicked it was clear to us all that we were set to face a very stern and interesting test against Benfica. Our own sluggish form of these last three months was reason for concern. Add to this the recent championship victory of our opponents as well as their determination to […]
Juventus 1 – 0 Bologna
April 20, 2014
Approaching this match, knowing that two wins in our next two league fixtures would send us to Rome needing only a draw to clinch our third straight scudetto, there was reason to be both excited and nervous. Especially after our rivals earned a valuable 0-1 away victory in Florence, reducing the gap between us back […]

Lyon are banished and Benfica beckons…
April 11, 2014
Whilst we continued our poor and worrying form, we got through without any major hassle. We could say that about so many games since late January. We certainly have the telling trademark of a great team, as in, we keep winning when we play below full steam. More on that shortly… For now, let’s peek […]
United’s woes…
April 11, 2014
Any manager who presided over such a terrible season, huge drop in form, many of the very worst performances seen at Old Trafford in the living memory of many fans, both neutrals and die-hard United supporters, deserves to be criticized strongly. It is not solely the abject failure of this term to consider but also […]
Juventus v Livorno Preview
April 8, 2014
I expect Llorente will be starting given his absence from the Lyon match. As for who starts alongside him, logically it will be Giovinco or Mirko. Hopefully Seba, for I would very much like to see him given a run of games before the end of the season, and really stake a claim for his […]

Juve Back Room staff
April 6, 2014
Following on from my appraisal of squad depth I now turn my focus towards the staff tasked with coaching and conditioning. Bertelli was recently awarded his second Cronometro d’Oro award (stopwatch of gold) for his sterling work as our fitness coach. The first accolade came through his time at Roma in 2008 and he […]
Juve Slump – Is fatigue the culprit???
April 5, 2014
Looking at our form over the past few months on paper leads to a very different impression to the perception gleamed from watching the matches. Whilst we have maintained consistency in our results, with the loss to Napoli at the weekend our first league defeat since the débâcle in Florence last October, the form of […]

Vanucchi Tavanti Varga Pellizzarri Barlocco Gerbaudo (Ceria 80′) Kabashi (Cevallos 67′) Sakor Alivka Soumah (Roussos 57′) Donis Scorers- Slivka 18′ , Donis 22′, Sakor 52′ A topsy turvy game saw us fall behind as early at the 5th minute, with Slivka pulling us even in the 18th minute. Unfortunately Vanucchi soon turned the tie in our opponents favour with […]
