Juventus 1-1 Sampdoria 14.12.2014
December 15, 2014
The 1-1 draw at home to Sampdoria was a testament to the timeless adage ‘a game of two halves’. So complete was our control during the first period, so intense our attacking waves and with our opponents penned into heir own half, often with ten men behind the ball; I was expecting an avalanche of […]
Mbaye Diagne to sign for Westerlo
December 12, 2014
Senegalese giant Mbaye Diagne was signed by Juve in the Summer of 2013 after a sterling season at Serie D side, during which he plundered 23 goals from 29 games. Loaned to french side Ajaccio, managed by non other than former Juve favourite Fabrizio Ravanelli, it was hoped that the big man would make the […]
Juventus Primavera update 7th December 2014
December 7, 2014
Primavera Coppa – Juventus v Livorno Our opponents were sitting pretty in the top five of League C of the U19s and in half decent form. With our own domestic progress this term haphazard, already out of the UEFA Youth League with one game still to play, it was hoped that we could begin to […]
Tomas Pochettino set to join Juventus
December 3, 2014
Gianluca Di Marzio broke the story a couple of days back and kindly included a photo of the young Boca Juniors starlet at the airport awaiting his flight to Italy, where it is reported he will sign for Juventus. We have been chasing the 18 year old midfielder since last Summer, when he starred […]
Juve close to signing croatian striker Andrej Kramaric
November 28, 2014
It appears that despite interest from Chelsea amongst other top european clubs, juve have won the race to sign budding croatian star Andrej Kramaric. The 23 year old began his career at Dinamo Zagreb after his sixth birthday, where after smashing over 450 goals for the youth sides he was hailed as something rather […]
Calciopoli- Clearing the Shit Fog
November 24, 2014
Those who believe the stories of Juve staff handing over the keys to Maseratis to referees, Moggi locking officials in the club quarters or bribing them, are quite possibly the same goons who believe Saddam had WMD, or that Osama Bin Laden blew up the twin towers, or that Assad invited UN chemical weapons inspectors […]
Lazio 0 – 3 Juventus 22/11/2014
November 23, 2014
With the wonderful fluidity and cutting edge displayed throughout the impressive 7-0 drubbing of parma, I was one of many slightly bothered with the international break and worried that players would lose their momentum, or worse still, return to the ranks exhausted or injured. Such concerns were aided by the decision of Conte to rest […]
Juventus Youth Update 4/11/2014
November 5, 2014
Out of his depth? Grosso’s primavera lads finally stopped the rot over the weekend with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Carpi. Which ended a largely uninspiring sequence of results beginning with the 1-0 defeat to Atletico in the UEFA League, followed up with a 0-2 home reverse tro Pro Vercelli. The 1-1 draw away to […]
Empoli 0 – 2 Juventus
November 4, 2014
Alvaro Morata was given his first start of the season at Empoli After the recent midweek losses away to Olympiakos and Genoa, and our lead in Serie A cut to 0, only a win would suffice from the visit to Empoli. And with our rivals for the league title, Roma, falling to a 2-0 […]
Xipe Totec’s Flaying Circus Tactical Approach
November 3, 2014
CB- Extremely defensive. Never stepping out of defence, only far enough to draw an opponent towards him freeing up space elsewhere. Think Baresi. His presence in front of the keeper is constant. He reads the play, follows the flow of the ball, steps out from a central position directly in front of the goalkeeper […]
