With Pirlo succumbing to flu, the always dependable Marchisio replaced him as the fulcrum to the side. Morata was rewarded for his recent hints of finding form by starting up top alongside Tevez. Other than which, the only placement of note was Vidal returning to a more centrally focused midfield role as Pereyra found himself […]

U19 The primavera have endured a haphazard season to date, with a constantly changing first XI and boss Fabio Grosso still learning on the job. Our latest outing was a home tie against rock bottom in the league Varese. Which we won 4-3. After racing to a 2-0 lead, the perennially prone to injury Captain […]

Despite the disappointing loss to Napoli in the SuperCup, Allegri’s debut season as Juve coach has gone as much to plan as any of us could have hoped. Many feared that the loss of charismatic coach Antonio Conte could lead to a downturn in the steady domestic success of the last three seasons. Roma have […]

The 1-1 draw at home to Sampdoria was a testament to the timeless adage ‘a game of two halves’.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
