Spalletti confirms permanent Juventus change and Italiano suggestion Luciano Spalletti says Juventus will no longer go into a training retreat before games and confirms he has suggested ‘everyone’ to hire Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano, ‘not just to President Aurelio De Laurentiis.’ Spalletti’s Juventus will visit Bologna at the Stadio Dall’Ara on Sunday, meeting a direct rival in the race for the top four. Bologna, in fact, are three points above the Old Lady, who ranks 7th in the Serie A table. ............ “Daniele Rugani can already be deployed. As for Bremer, because of his previous injury, he still needs time, and we must be cautious even if he’s available and wants to be there,” Spalletti said. ............ “I’m still surprised when I hear about systems in the field. In today’s football, it has changed a little. You don’t win by occupying positions, but spaces, deciding where you want to bring the game. We are going towards one-on-one across the pitch, and we have to adapt. It’s true that I want to use a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, trying to do something different, but it’s just the starting point because the game forces you to use other systems during the match.” ............ “Conceiçao's development lies in becoming more decisive. He needs to increase the chances of scoring and be more determined in the attacking phase,” said the Juventus boss. “He has this lethal outburst of pace that puts you in real trouble when he accelerates. Let’s also add some defensive phases, some duels, but I’ve seen great willingness to track back and help out, so we’re on the right path.” ............ “There are certainly things you can learn from Italiano. For me, he’s one of the best young coaches we have, and I’ve told everyone to get Italiano, not just President De Laurentiis. “Credit goes to the coach and those who built the team. They have great quality and know exactly where they want to go,” continued Spalletti. “They fear nothing and force you into a huge number of duels; they don’t care about how much space they leave behind. We have to break down these fences, not go man against man, but beyond the man. If we are not ready for this, it will be a complicated evening for us to talk about. “Personality is a fundamental aspect of football. In the past, it only belonged to those who dared a risky play; today, is about accepting a full-pitch battle, pushing the opponents into the spaces you want, beyond the technical gesture,” Spalletti added. “One single play might be enough to get a passing grade [from the media], but to play like a champion, you have to be in the heart of the team for 90 minutes and close to the ball. “No one will convince me not to expect great things from these lads; no one will convince me that they aren’t good. A coach has to be obsessed with the idea of improving the team.” ............ “A training retreat isn’t a place, but a mental condition,” concluded Spalletti. “We won’t do it anymore because, as far as I’m concerned, it’s an extra burden. If you are dealing with a group of players with the right mental condition, like those at Juventus, you don’t go into a training retreat. Whoever plays for Juventus is always in this mindset, so we’ll leave tomorrow morning.” . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/spalletti-permanent-juventus-change-italiano/

Spalletti reacts to Elkann claims after offer to buy Juventus: ‘It’s up to us’ Luciano Spalletti is ‘happy’ to ‘feel the strength’ of John Elkann but pushes the team to ‘give substance’ to the owner’s ‘passion.’ Juventus are preparing to visit Bologna at the Stadio Dall’Ara tomorrow, but the eve of the game has been shaken by the news that minority shareholders Tether have made an offer to buy a majority stake from Exor. ............ “Even though I arrived only recently, it makes me happy to feel the strength and passion that John Elkann and family have for this club,” Spalletti said. “It is clear that it is up to us to give substance and concreteness to this passion, honouring the last and building a future on the same level, or even a better one, as John Elkann himself told us when he came to visit us.” ............ The Italian tactician revealed he had spoken to Elkann on Friday: “Yes, and I saw him too, a few hours ago, just yesterday,” he said. “Sometimes, he sends me his thoughts, and I’m glad about it. In this case, he mentioned the future as well and clearly, as I said when I arrived, the objective is to always aim for the top when you are part of this kind of club.” ............ .

Will Bremer start for Juventus against Bologna? Gleison Bremer has yet to feature for Juventus under Luciano Spalletti, although he has been close to a return in the club’s last two matches. The defender endured an almost year-long absence last season and then suffered another injury during the current campaign, prompting Juventus to adopt a cautious approach with his recovery. The club are determined not to rush him back, given his importance to the team. Bremer is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in the world and remains a central figure in Juventus’ long-term plans. ............ Spalletti would ideally like to operate with a back four, but Bremer’s unavailability has forced him to persist with a back three for an extended period. Without the Brazilian’s leadership and reliability at the heart of defence, the manager has been unable to fully implement his preferred system. Bremer’s return would offer Spalletti greater tactical flexibility and allow Juventus to transition back to a shape that better suits his philosophy. ............ The defender now appears set to make his return against Bologna this weekend. Bremer is fit again, and there is a strong likelihood that Spalletti will select him to lead the Juventus defence in what is expected to be a crucial match. The report suggests confidence within the club that he is ready to start and make an immediate impact. The Bologna fixture is one Juventus cannot afford to lose as they seek to build momentum. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/will-bremer-start-for-juventus-against-bologna/

Juventus could meet Yildiz’s demands in the coming days Kenan Yildiz and Juventus have been locked in contract negotiations for several months, yet an agreement has still not been reached. The Turkiye international is keen to extend his stay at the club, and Juventus are equally determined to keep him, recognising his importance to their long-term plans. Despite this shared desire, discussions over the past few weeks have failed to produce a breakthrough. ............ His entourage has requested a net salary of six million euros per season, a figure the Bianconeri have so far been reluctant to accept. That hesitation has increased concerns that the situation could become costly for the club if it drags on. The lack of progress has inevitably fuelled speculation about Yildiz’s future. With no deal in place, the attacker is now being tipped as a potential departure, and several clubs are believed to be ready to move quickly should Juventus fail to secure his signature. His talent and potential make him an attractive option, and the club are well aware that rivals could meet his wage demands without hesitation. ............ Encouragingly for the club, there are signs that a resolution may be closer than expected. Juventus are set to meet with Yildiz’s entourage again in the coming days. This time, there is optimism that progress can be made, with Damien Comolli reportedly prepared to meet the player’s salary demands. The men in black and white now appear to accept that Yildiz is a key figure whose value extends beyond the immediate cost of his contract. ............ .

Elkann warning to Tether: ‘Juventus history and values are not for sale’ Juventus chief John Elkann explains ‘our history and values are not for sale’ after parent company Exor rejected a takeover bid from Tether. While Tether are already minority shareholders, yesterday they announced a €1.1 billion offer to take over all the remaining shares held by the Agnelli family holding company Exor. ............ This was rejected outright and now Exor President Elkann, an heir to the Agnelli family fortune, released a video where he explained their reasoning. Wearing a Juventus hoodie, he outlined their refusal for the present and the future. https://www.juventus.com/it/video/john-elkann-la-juventus-la-nostra-storia-i-nostri-valori-non-sono-in-vendita ............ “Juve have been part of my family for 102 years, in the real sense of the word, because over the course of a century, we’ve seen four generations make it bigger, stronger, protected it during difficult moments and celebrated in the many happy times. “That is not all. Juve are part of a much, much bigger family. The Bianconeri family. It is made up of millions of fans in Italy and around the world, who love Juve the way they love those closest to them. “It is precisely thinking about this passion, this history of love that unites us for over a century, that as a family we continue to support our team and look to the future to build a winning Juve. “Our Juventus, our history, our values, are not for sale.” ............ While there had been reports in recent years that Exor were frustrated at the amount of money going into stabilising Juve coffers, especially in the wake of the accounting scandal over inflated transfer fees, they never really seemed amenable to the idea of selling the club. ............ .

Tether’s offer to buy Juventus below club’s value Tether’s offer to buy Juventus is below the actual club’s value which is ‘realistically’ between €1.8 and 2 billion. Crypto giants Tether, a minority Juventus shareholder, announced an €1.1 billion offer to acquire a majority stake in the club on Friday, but the Agnelli family replied through a spokesperson that the club is not for sale. ............ The Serie A giants are a ‘sleeping giant’ with considerable assets, including a club-owned stadium and training centres worth €450m, but also a poor financial situation with losses of nearly one billion in the last eight years that forced club owners to make cash injections for over €900m. ............ Football Benchmark’s latest report gives Juventus a value of €1.651 billion; according to Forbes, the club’s worth is slightly higher at €1.9 billion. Realistically the range lies between €1.8 billion and €2 billion. With their statement, however, Tether assigned to Juventus an equity value of €1.1 billion. Considering the financial debt of around €300m, the enterprise value would be €1.4 billion, according to the crypto giants, below market estimates. ............ Even if Juventus have solid assets, they’ve been falling short financially in recent years, accumulating €999m in losses between 2014-15 and 2024-25. Juventus have not been profitable for the past eight seasons, requiring four capital increases. The last one worth €98 was completed just a few weeks ago, when Exor and Tether subscribed their stakes, 65.4% and 11.5% respectively, for a total of €77m, while the remainder came from institutional investors. However, there have been positive signals in recent months as, last season, the deficit was cut to €58m compared to €199m from the previous financial year. ............ .

De Paola insists Spalletti is already making an impact at Juventus Luciano Spalletti has only been in charge of Juventus for a few weeks, yet his influence is already becoming apparent. As the most experienced managerial appointment the club has made since Max Allegri’s departure, he could be the first to provide stability on the bench in recent years. The Bianconeri believe they have secured a coach who fully understands what it takes to lead a top team, and early signs suggest he is beginning to have a positive impact. Spalletti’s arrival has been met with optimism as the team continues to adapt to his methods. ............ The squad is gradually adjusting to Spalletti’s demands, learning from his approach both on and off the pitch. His appointment has introduced fresh ideas, and the players are beginning to respond to his vision for the club. Although the full assessment of his impact will come at the end of the season, there is growing recognition that he is already making a difference. The Bianconeri continue to work together as a team and are beginning to internalise the changes he is implementing. ............ Paolo De Paola has praised Spalletti for his direct and honest approach, highlighting the tactical adjustments and culture shift he is enforcing. De Paola said, “He’s the first coach to say they’re crap and that he can’t build a team like this. He’s finally the coach everyone’s been watching for the past four years, which are embarrassing. For me, this is a revolution. Spalletti is putting everyone back to school. I’ll take away Bremer and Yildiz, but he’s teaching everyone. He wants to go back to a four-man defense; he’s already mapped out the path, now the lads have to study for this.” ............ .

AC Milan joins Juventus in the race for Lecce man Tiago Gabriel has emerged as one of the most sought-after defenders in Serie A, with top Italian clubs expected to pursue him either next month or in the summer of 2026. The Lecce defender has made an impressive start to the season, consistently performing at a high level whenever he takes to the pitch, demonstrating both composure and versatility in defence. His performances have not gone unnoticed, and the attention from the league’s leading clubs continues to grow. ............ Several top Serie A sides have been monitoring Gabriel closely, with Juventus among the most interested. The Bianconeri see him as an ideal addition to their squad, offering strength and reliability at the back. They are prepared to make a move if he continues to perform consistently until the end of the season. So far, he has been virtually faultless in league and cup competitions, and he is aware that maintaining focus and form will be crucial to securing a high-profile transfer. ............ AC Milan also has Gabriel on their radar and are prepared to explore a move if Lecce indicates that a deal could be arranged. Milan believes they could persuade the defender to join them rather than Juventus, particularly as the Bianconeri are facing a challenging period. Both clubs understand that negotiating with Lecce and convincing Gabriel of their project will be key to securing his signature. ............ .

Yildiz’s family lands in Italy to discuss Juventus contract extension Juventus are ready to make a new offer to extend Kenan Yildiz’s contract as the striker’s father, Engin, has landed in Turin. Juventus are expected to continue talks over Yidiz’s contract extension in the coming days. ............ The striker’s father Engin, in fact, is expected to meet with club directors for contract negotiations, helped by a well-known intermediary, Jorge Mendes. Yildiz’s contract expires in June 2029, but the Bianconeri’s No.10 has now become a key player in the team, and his €1.5m salary does not reflect his status at the Allianz Stadium. ............ Yildiz’s salary request is €6m per season, a sum that Juventus are eager to match, possibly including easily achievable bonuses. ............ Yildiz, 20, has grabbed six goals and six assists in 20 appearances across all competitions this season. . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/yildiz-family-italy-new-contract-juventus/

German clubs fighting Juventus for Real Madrid man Gonzalo Garcia is finding opportunities limited at Real Madrid this season, despite being one of the club’s standout performers at the Club World Cup in the summer. The striker enjoyed an exceptional tournament, stepping in when Kylian Mbappe was injured and unable to feature. Garcia rose to the challenge and ensured Los Merengues continued to perform at a high level without their French goal scorer. His displays were so impressive that Madrid chose not to allow him to leave on loan during the summer. ............ However, the reality of competing at the Bernabeu has proven difficult. With significant pressure on the team to deliver results, Garcia has struggled to secure consistent minutes this season. The competition for places has limited his involvement, and this lack of game time has fuelled speculation that a loan move could be considered to aid his development. Despite the club’s earlier decision to keep him, circumstances have changed, and a temporary departure is now being discussed as a possible solution. Garcia remains highly regarded, but the demands of the campaign have made it challenging for him to feature regularly in Madrid’s plans. ............ Juventus are monitoring the situation closely as it looks to strengthen a misfiring attack, particularly with Dusan Vlahovic currently injured. A loan move is viewed as the ideal outcome for the Italian side, allowing them to bolster their options without a long-term commitment. However, Juventus face strong competition. Bundesliga clubs Eintracht Frankfurt and Stuttgart are also keen on adding Garcia to their squads when the next transfer window opens. Both clubs are prepared to challenge Juventus for his signature should there be any indication that Real Madrid is willing to let him leave. ............ .

“Juve doesn’t need honesty” Gigi Maifredi discusses Spalletti’s time at Juventus Luciano Spalletti is attempting to find stability as the manager of Juventus, fully aware of the high expectations that come with the role. The Bianconeri coach is working intensely to turn the club’s fortunes around and has already been viewed as one of their more capable managers in recent times. However, the environment remains demanding and unforgiving, with pressure mounting quickly at the Allianz Stadium. ............ Juventus are focused on returning to consistent success, and the margin for error is extremely small. While Spalletti’s pedigree includes winning the Serie A, past achievements alone will not secure his position. He must translate his experience into results and impose his ideas decisively on the squad. There is a belief among some observers that Spalletti has the tools to succeed, yet the club’s patience is limited. Every decision is scrutinised, and the expectation is that his impact should be immediate rather than gradual. This environment places additional strain on even the most experienced managers. ............ Despite Spalletti’s credentials, concerns have been raised about his current methods. Former coach Gigi Maifredi has suggested that Spalletti’s honesty may actually be working against him. He said, “I think Spalletti is still tied to his previous experience and doesn’t have the strength of conviction needed to fully support the group. That’s the only explanation I can give for the difficulty he’s having in putting his ideas into practice. Also because the Tuscan coach is very experienced, but he’s making incredible mistakes. He’s taking the blame and proving himself to be honest, but Juve doesn’t need honesty. Here, skill and tactical acumen are needed.” ............ .

‘Make Juventus great again’ – What’s behind the €1.1bn offer to buy the club The Agnelli family is unwilling to sell Juventus despite a €1.1 billion offer from minority shareholders Tether, so we take a closer look at the blockchain-enabled platform and its CEO, Paolo Ardoino. Tether announced an offer to buy a majority stake in Juventus from Exor on Friday night, but received a firm reply from the Bianconeri owners: “Negotiations are not underway regarding the sale of a stake in Juventus,” a spokesperson for the Agnelli family said. ............ Founded in 2014, the Tether cryptocurrency has grown massively over the last few years and its CEO, Paolo Ardoino, is a life-long Juventus supporter. Tether already holds an 11,52% stake in Juventus and is represented in the Juventus board of directors by Francesco Garino. ............ The company is headquartered in El Salvador and reported profits exceeding €13 billion in 2024. Tether’s core focus lies in cryptocurrencies, blockchains and technological innovation, including artificial intelligence. As previously mentioned, its CEO, Paolo Ardoino, is a life-long Juventus supporter who has become increasingly popular among Bianconeri supporters on social media, especially X, thanks to his motto ‘Make Juventus great again.’ ............ The relationship between Tether and Exor has never been particularly solid. At times, Ardoino’s social media activity aimed to look for a collaboration with Exor, but other times, the Tether CEO has criticised the club and the team. ............ The abrupt public bid is unlikely to strengthen relations between the two sides, particularly given that Exor had already indicated, before Tether’s proposal, that it had no intention of selling the club in response to rumours of a potential offer from a Saudi investor. This past November, Juventus owner John Elkann said: “We remain fully committed to Juventus and are proud to be its controlling shareholder for over a century. We are and have always been open to constructive ideas from all stakeholders who share our ambition and passion for the club.” .

E l'ultima vittoria della Juventus a Bologna si registró 18 dicembre 2021. Era la prima Juventus di mister Allegri. Vincemmo 0-2 con gol di Morata e Cuadrado. Il Bologna era allenato dal compianto mister Mihajlovic. Nella Juventus giocava Bernardeschi che domani giocherá con la maglia dei nostri avversari.

L'ultima volta che il Bologna ha battuto la Juventus é stato il 29 novembre 1998. Era la Juve di mister Lippi. 3 gol del Bologna a Peruzzi in 28' minuti. Nel Bologna allenato da Carletto Mazzone giocavano Signori e i "nostri" Paramatti e Marocchi. Nella Super-Juve giocavano Zidane, Antonio Conte, Tudor, Ferrara, Pippo Inzaghi, Fonseca, Iuliano, Amoruso ecc. eppure perdemmo malamente.

“He should prove it” Pavan attacks Bernardeschi over his Juventus loyalty Federico Bernardeschi is set to face Juventus this weekend as a Bologna player and has stated that he remains emotionally tied to the Old Lady. The attacker spent several years with the Bianconeri between 2017 and 2022 and was part of one of the club’s strongest sides during that period. His time in Turin included notable successes, although his role became more limited towards the end of his stay. ............ Following his departure, Bernardeschi joined MLS side Toronto FC, where he played between 2022 and 2025. He has since returned to Serie A and established himself as an important player for Bologna. His performances have drawn attention, particularly with the upcoming fixture against his former club, where many observers will be keen to see how he performs against Juventus. Bernardeschi, like many players who leave major clubs, has spoken of his lasting affection for his former side and insists that Juventus still holds a place in his heart. However, not everyone is convinced by those sentiments, especially given the circumstances surrounding his exit. ............ Commenting on the situation, Massimo Pavan expressed scepticism about Bernardeschi’s claims. He said, “Bernardeschi says he’s tied to Juve, but he’s made them lose a lot of money… It makes me smile when players say they’re tied to Juve and then make them lose money. Juve paid over €40 million for him, and he left for free because he refused to renew his contract, much less sell him in the years before. What are we talking about? If he loves Juve, he should prove it with his actions.” ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/he-should-prove-it-pavan-attacks-bernardeschi-over-his-juventus-loyalty/

Tether Submits Proposal to Acquire Juventus Football Club 12 December 2025 – Tether has submitted a binding all cash proposal to Exor to acquire its entire stake in Juventus Football Club. Subject to regulatory approvals, Tether intends to make a public offer for the remaining shares at the same price, fully funded with its own capital and supported by a long term commitment to the club. ............ “For me, Juventus has always been part of my life,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. “I grew up with this team. As a boy, I learned what commitment, resilience, and responsibility meant by watching Juventus face success and adversity with dignity. Those lessons stayed with me long after the final whistle. Our interest in Juventus comes from deep admiration and respect. Juventus is a symbol of Italian excellence with a truly global presence, built over generations through hard work, ambition, and the unwavering loyalty of its supporters. These values mirror how we have built Tether, with patience, independence, and a focus on long term resilience. Tether is in a position of strong financial health and intends to support Juventus with stable capital and a long horizon. Our goal is to contribute positively to the club’s future, to support sporting performance at the highest level, and to help Juventus continue to grow sustainably in a rapidly evolving global sports and media landscape. ............ The proposal contemplates the acquisition of Exor’s shareholding, representing 65.4 percent of Juventus’ issued share capital. Completion of the transaction would be subject to Exor’s acceptance, the execution of definitive documentation, and receipt of required regulatory approvals. Following completion, Tether intends to proceed with a public tender offer for the remaining shares at the same price per share. In the event that the transaction completes, Tether is prepared to invest 1 billion Euros in the support and development of the Club. ............ .

Preview: Bologna vs Juventus - prediction, team news, lineups Both midweek winners in Europe, Bologna and Juventus will clash at Stadio Dall'Ara in Serie A's Sunday night contest. Juve are still struggling on the domestic scene, but victory over Pafos has kept them in the mix for a Champions League playoff place; meanwhile, their hosts are flying high on all fronts. Match preview A distant seventh in Serie A, Juventus look unlikely to mount a title challenge this season, extending an unfamiliar Scudetto drought. Compared to this point last year, Italy's most successful club have accrued three fewer points, have scored four fewer goals and have conceded six more, summing up their miserable start. Little has changed under new boss Luciano Spalletti, who averages a modest 1.6 points per game after losing last Sunday's showdown with reigning champions Napoli. Spalletti's current club left his old home in Naples empty-handed, despite Kenan Yildiz getting them back into the contest midway through the second half, as Juve were beaten 2-1. Still, the Bianconeri boosted their Champions League hopes three days later, beating Pafos 2-0 in Turin thanks to two goals in the final half-hour. Following a recent defeat of Bodo/Glimt, back-to-back wins have kept alive dreams of reaching the knockout stage, but Juventus cannot afford to slip up when the league phase concludes next month. Back on the domestic front, Juve have lost three of their last five away matches - keeping just one clean sheet in the last dozen - so they may travel to Bologna with some trepidation. ............ Bologna Serie A form: D W W W L D Bologna form (all competitions): W W L W D W Juventus Serie A form: W W D D W L Juventus form (all competitions): D W W W L W Team News With Dusan Vlahovic ruled out for the next few weeks, either Lois Openda or Jonathan David should lead Juve's attack on Sunday - albeit Yildiz was tried as a false nine against Napoli. Aside from last week's strike at Stadio Maradona, seven of the latter's eight Serie A goal involvements this season have come on home soil, but he did score at the Dall'Ara last year. In addition to the Bianconeri's main marksman, Spalletti is also missing Federico Gatti, whose fellow centre-backs Daniele Rugani and Bremer have just returned from injury. So, Teun Koopmeiners is set to continue in his new defensive role, as part of a flexible back three. ............ Bologna possible starting lineup: Ravaglia; Holm, Lucumi, Heggem, Miranda; Moro, Ferguson; Orsolini, Odgaard, Cambiaghi; Castro Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Kelly, Koopmeiners; McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; David ............ We say: Bologna 2-1 Juventus Having outplayed Napoli and beaten most visitors to Emilia-Romagna this season, Bologna can rouse themselves to defeat inconsistent Juventus. While Juve are still a work in progress under Spalletti, Italiano's side know exactly what they are doing - as proven by their lofty league status. .

Douglas Luiz is now close to earning a permanent move to Nottingham Forest Douglas Luiz joined Nottingham Forest on loan from Juventus in the summer, and the move includes clauses that could make the transfer permanent if certain conditions are fulfilled. The midfielder endured an unhappy season at Juventus before returning to the Premier League, a competition in which he has previously produced the best football of his career. His performances have improved since his return, suggesting that he is far more comfortable in England than he ever was in Turin. ............ Juventus continue to monitor his progress closely, hoping that he reaches the threshold required for Nottingham Forest to trigger the permanent transfer clause. The club believe that a consistent run of matches would see the midfielder retained by Forest, helping Juventus conclude his time in Turin while also generating the expected fee. ............ The agreement states that if Luiz plays at least forty-five minutes in fifteen matches, Forest will be obliged to sign him permanently. Despite his injury history, he is already making progress towards this target. He has featured in about seven matches that satisfy the required conditions, meaning he now needs just over half of that total to activate the clause. ............ .

Pavan believes Juventus must play better than against Pafos to beat Bologna Massimo Pavan has expressed serious concerns about Juventus’ prospects in their upcoming Serie A clash with Bologna, warning that a repeat of their midweek performance against Pafos would not be enough to secure victory. The men in black and white needed considerable time to overcome the stubborn Cypriot side, and while they ultimately claimed the points, the quality of the display left much to be desired. Following their recent league defeat to Napoli, Juventus are under pressure to return to winning ways, yet Bologna represents one of the toughest challenges they could face this season. ............ Juventus are aware that every opponent presents a unique challenge and that consistency is essential for success. Although they won against Pafos, the performance failed to inspire confidence. Bologna have demonstrated over recent seasons that they can consistently compete with and even beat Juventus. ............ Pavan offered a candid assessment of Juventus’ display, stating: “Juventus definitely needs to raise their game if they want to do well in Bologna. Spalletti used the right word, embarrassing. Some of their decisions against Pafos gave off exactly that feeling. I understand the crowd did not help either, but I understand the frustration when you see certain mistakes. I hope the team starts playing two halves and not just one.” His remarks underline concerns about lapses in concentration and a lack of sustained intensity, issues that could prove costly against a disciplined Bologna side. ............ .

Juventus players annoyed Spalletti with their attitude against Pafos Juventus secured a 2 to 0 victory over Pafos in the Champions League in midweek, yet the performance was far from one the team would regard with pride. Despite the positive scoreline, the men in black and white struggled noticeably at the start of the match, creating the impression that they might drop points against the minnows. ............ Before this fixture, Juventus had won only one Champions League match in the campaign, and their supporters were expecting them to record a second consecutive victory. However, the early stages were disappointing as Juventus found it difficult to break down their Cypriot visitors. At times, their display left fans embarrassed, with many frustrated by the lack of fluency and conviction shown on the pitch. ............ It was reported that Luciano Spalletti was far from satisfied with what he witnessed. The manager was said to be displeased with the players’ attitude during the match, feeling that the level of intensity and commitment fell short of what is required. It was the first time Spalletti had been truly livid with the team. He raised his voice in the aftermath of the game and made it clear that he wanted greater energy and sharpness from the players. His intention was to shake the squad from their recent complacency and encourage a more focused and dynamic approach on the pitch. ............ .
