“Decisive moment” Tacchinardi explains what he expects from Juventus Alessio Tacchinardi believes that Juventus have now reached a critical stage of the season, one in which they must elevate their performances and become a more cohesive and effective team. The men in black and white continue to work diligently to ensure they are in peak condition, and the efforts of Luciano Spalletti on the training ground are beginning to yield results. The Bianconeri are currently enjoying a three-game winning streak heading into their weekend fixture against Napoli, a run that has provided a boost of confidence ahead of a challenging encounter. ............ This season has presented numerous challenges, particularly with injuries affecting their midfield, yet Juventus feel capable of overcoming the Partenopei and securing maximum points. With no international break until next year, the team is determined to make the most of the upcoming fixtures and maintain their momentum. Juve’s schedule is demanding, with both domestic and European commitments placing considerable strain on the squad, a period in which many clubs historically encounter difficulties. Tacchinardi is aware of these risks and emphasises the importance of sustaining focus to avoid potential setbacks. ............ He said, “This is the decisive moment of the season. Juve played a serious match, like against Bodo. I don’t like the fact that all these games are coming in a row, they’re very tough. At a time like this, the most difficult games of the championship are coming, as well as the Champions League match, which is crucial. In my opinion, these are terrible days: Juve must prove themselves. In the post-match press conference, I didn’t hear Spalletti giving the impression that he has a ready team, but maybe I’m wrong.” ............ .

Altafini discusses the importance of the Napoli stadium for the game Juventus are preparing to visit the Maradona Stadium this weekend for its match against Napoli, a venue long regarded as one of the most demanding environments in Italian football. The stadium has caused problems for Juventus in the past, and its fierce atmosphere often shapes the dynamics of matches played there. Football holds tremendous significance in Naples, and the Bianconeri know they are travelling into a setting that is both passionate and intense, with supporters who create a formidable backdrop for any visiting team. ............ Luciano Spalletti previously worked at Napoli and guided the club to a league crown in 2023 in particularly intense fashion, a triumph that further strengthened the stadium’s reputation as a place where ambition and expectation collide. Juventus enter this fixture on the back of three consecutive victories, a run that has injected confidence into the squad. Their recent hard work has brought a level of consistency they had been seeking, and the prospect of achieving a fourth straight win appears encouraging on paper. However, the reality of playing in such an intimidating environment presents a far more demanding challenge. The team in black and white will need to demonstrate composure and discipline to maintain their form under the pressure that awaits them. The question for many observers is whether Juventus can successfully navigate the heat of the Maradona Stadium, a ground where emotion and noise contribute significantly to the match experience. ............ José Altafini believes that the players from both sides possess the mentality needed to cope with such demanding surroundings. He said, “I know that heat well, in my day, it was the San Paolo. It gives you a lot, but it does not decide on its own. In stadiums this full, there would only be home wins, but that is not the case. Napoli and Juventus have players accustomed to pressure.” ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/pundit-discusses-the-importance-of-the-napoli-stadium-for-the-game/

Pavan hopes Juventus delivers their best performance against Napoli Massimo Pavan has expressed his hope that Juventus will be in top condition when they take on Napoli in Serie A this weekend. Juventus have put together a three-match winning run and will now face what is likely to be their most challenging test of the season. Their form has been encouraging, yet the task ahead remains substantial. Juventus possess several of the finest players in Italian football and is fully capable of earning a result. However, Napoli, managed by Antonio Conte, are the reigning champions and have enjoyed a strong campaign so far. ............ For any club, visiting Naples is one of the most demanding assignments in the league. Juventus are fully aware of how challenging it will be to come away with victory at such a hostile and energetic venue. Nevertheless, they cannot afford a setback. A defeat would risk damaging both their confidence and their momentum at a crucial stage of the season. Pavan recognises the fine margins involved and highlighted the significance of the occasion. He said: “The match against Napoli isn’t balanced today. If everyone gives 110%, there could be surprises, but it’s been too long since we’ve seen a team capable of putting in a good performance in Naples, just as it’s been a long time since Juventus played a high-level game away from home. I hope this is the right time. I’d like Maradona Yildiz to prove himself as the great player he is at home.” ............ . As Juventus attempts to maintain its upward trajectory, this match offers an opportunity to demonstrate its progress. ............ .

Marco Conterio reveals some details about Comolli’s plans Damien Comolli is steadily putting together a strategic plan aimed at restoring Juventus to the summit of Italian football. Since John Elkann appointed him to take charge of key decisions following the departure of Cristiano Giuntoli, Comolli has overseen an important period of transition in Turin. His influence has only increased, as he has now been promoted to chief executive officer, a role that places him at the heart of the club’s long-term sporting and administrative direction. Juventus are currently navigating a decisive phase in its rebuild. Numerous important choices must be made as the club looks to move beyond recent instability and compete once more with the best sides in Serie A. ............ Comolli is understood to be working on a measured and sustainable strategy that respects the investments already made while addressing the gaps that still exist in the squad. Journalist Marco Conterio has offered insight into this approach and discussed what Juventus may look to do in the coming months. He said: “Damien Comolli’s strategy is the right one. It would be a disaster if, after just a few months, he disavowed the money spent and the players acquired. The only effect would be a boomerang with very few benefits. Jonathan David, after Dusan Vlahovic ‘s defeat, will be at the heart of Juve’s attack, and Loic Openda will compete for a place with Kenan Yildiz. If anything, he’s ready to fill a gap (two!): the first is the lack of a playmaker, even if the dream of Morten Hjulmand of Sporting CP seems destined to remain just that.” ............ . If Juventus execute their plans effectively, this season still offers real promise. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/marco-conterio-reveals-some-details-about-comollis-plans/

David or Openda: Who should lead the line for Juventus against Napoli? Juventus striker Lois Openda could be set to replace fellow summer signing Jonathan David in the starting lineup against Napoli. The two attackers have been enduring almost identical paths since arriving in Turin. Neither has been able to deliver in front of goal since the start of the season, but they both managed to score against Bodo/Glimt in last week’s Champions League contest. ............ On Tuesday, David got the nod in the Coppa Italia Round 16 against Udinese, while Openda replaced him in the closing stages of the match. The Old Lady prevailed by two unanswered goals, but ironically, the two strikers saw their goals disallowed for marginal offside positions. ............ Spalletti considers David a classic No.9 capable of inflicting damage in the box. Therefore, the Canadian’s traits are particularly useful against smaller opposition in Serie A, who tend to deploy low defensive blocks. On the other hand, Openda is a pacey attacker who thrives in space. This renders him more dangerous against bigger opponents, or generally clubs that like to push forward and leave acres of space at the back. ............ .

Napoli in Full-blow crisis ahead of Juventus clash as Conte loses another key midfielder Napoli have been dealt another painful injury blow, with Stanislav Lobotka also ruled out of Sunday’s showdown against Juventus. Antonio Conte has already been without Manchester City icon Kevin De Bruyne, who suffered a serious injury while converting a spot-kick against Inter in late October. Moreover, Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Billy Gilmour have also succumbed to injuries in recent weeks, thus leaving Conte with a completely ravaged midfield department. ............ “Stanislav Lobotka sustained a muscle strain in the posterior tibial muscle of his left leg during Wednesday’s pre-match warm-up,” reads the press release published on the official Napoli website. “The Napoli player has already started the rehabilitation process.” The Slovakian is considered one of the finest deep-lying playmakers in Serie A, and even Juventus are said to be interested in reuniting him with Luciano Spalletti. Therefore, Conte will be loath to lose his services, especially ahead of a major contest against Juventus. ............ With the midfield department almost entirely decimated, Conte will resort to Scott McTominay for inspiration. However, it remains to be seen who will play alongside the Manchester United youth product. The versatile Eljif Elmas could be the best option, although he’s considered an attacking midfielder rather than a deep-lying playmaker. ............ .

Juventus won’t sign new defender in January after receiving double injury boost Juventus are reportedly happy to keep their defensive department intact, despite losing Federico Gatti to injury. This Bianconeri have been plagued by injuries since the start of the season, but no department was affected more than the backline. ............ Juventus have no plans to sign a new defender in January, preferring to focus on bolstering the midfield and potentially signing a new wing-back. As the source explains, this decision partially stems from the imminent returns of Gleison Bremer and Daniele Rugani. ............ Bremer will skip Sunday’s big Serie A showdown against Napoli, before earning a call-up for the Champions League contest against Pafos. A few days later, Rugani should follow suit, making his return to the squad for the Serie A contest against Bologna on December 14. In addition to Bremer and Rugani’s returns, Spalletti has surprisingly found himself a new option at the back in Teun Koopmeiners, whose conversion has been both smooth and timely, while Lloyd Kelly and Pierre Kalulu have been remarkably reliable this season. ............ .

Vlahovic surgery is successful, Juventus without striker until March 2026 Dusan Vlahovic has undergone surgery to repair a tendon in the left adductor, confirmed Juventus, with reports he will be out for at least 14 weeks. As expected, the striker flew to London for consultation with a specialist following the injury during the Serie A win over Cagliari at the weekend. ............ “The procedure was performed by a team led by Prof. Ernest Schilders and Rowena Johnson, and in the presence of Club doctor Marco Freschi, at Mayo Clinic Healthcare in London and the Wellington Hospital, and the operation was completely successful. “The player will begin his rehabilitation program from Friday, 5 December.” ............ That fits with the suggestions he would require a minimum of three months to even consider a full recovery, and is not expected back on the field until March 2026. ............ .

Juventus anticipate €33m boost as Nico Gonzalez closing in on permanent Atletico Madrid transfer Juventus-owned winger Nico Gonzalez is on the right path towards sealing a permanent transfer to Atletico Madrid. ............ Following the managerial shakeup at Juventus, Gonzalez was considered surplus to requirements, so Damien Comolli was happy to sell him as long as the club could avoid a capital loss. Hence, circa €33 million was required at the time. Luckily for the Serie A giants, they found themselves an ally in Atletico Madrid, at least on a temporary basis. The Colchoneros signed Gonzalez on loan for €1 million, with an obligation to buy set at €33 million. ............ Gonzalez must play 21 LaLiga games, with each appearance lasting at least 45 minutes, to activate the obligation-to-buy clause. Following his appearance against Barcelona on Tuesday, the winger has now taken his tally to nine. While he has already started 10 league matches, he only lasted 43 minutes against Ossasuna before succumbing to injury, so this outing wasn’t counted. Nevertheless, the fact that the former Stuttgart star has already accumulated nine appearances after 15 rounds suggests that he’s on the right track to achieve the objective and earn Juventus a €33 million boost. ............ .

Lobotka set to miss Juventus clash as Napoli confirm injury Napoli’s Stanislav Lobotka is expected to miss Sunday’s Serie A match against Juventus after suffering a ‘muscle strain’ on Wednesday. ............ The Partenopei confirmed in a statement on Thursday that the Slovakia international had suffered an injury the day before. ............ According to multiple sources, Lobotka will not be available for Sunday’s Serie A match against Juventus. Lobotka was not even meant to start in Napoli’s Coppa Italia game against Cagliari yesterday, but, as the Partenopei said, he got injured during the warm-up, so he didn’t even go on the bench. ............ .

Spalletti considers unleashing Yildiz in a new role in Napoli vs Juventus clash Kenan Yildiz could feature in a new role this Sunday, when Juventus take on Napoli in the most anticipated showdown for the Serie A weekend. ............ The 66-year-old is renowned for morphing players into new roles, so Yildiz could undergo a similar change to Francesco Totti’s. The Roma icon is one of the most celebrated Number 10s in Italian football history, but Spalletti recreated him as a centre-forward in 2006, and he went on to win the Capocannoniere award in 2006/07. Hence, following Dusan Vlahovic’s high-grade tear, many pundits have urged the 66-year-old to unleash Yildiz in a more advanced role. ............ On Tuesday, Jonathan David was given the nod against Udinese in the Coppa Italia Round of 16, while Lois Openda represents an alternative solution. Nevertheless, the Yildiz option could be too tempting for the manager to resist. This would allow the Turkiye international to play closer to the goal, banking on his remarkable finishing touch and his ability to cause havoc inside the penalty box. He would also have the freedom to roam all around the final third. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/spalletti-considers-unleashing-yildiz-in-a-new-role-in-napoli-vs-juventus-clash/

Juventus confirm Federico Gatti’s surgery was a ‘complete success’ Juventus have provided updates on the condition of Federico Gatti, who underwent a successful surgery on Thursday morning. The defender was out of action in previous weeks due to a health issue, but made his return to action on Tuesday in the Coppa Italia Round of 16 contest against Udinese. ............ Gatti hurt his knee in the second half, and was forced to leave his place on the pitch for his captain, Manuel Locatelli. The former Frosinone then underwent tests on Wednesday that detected a meniscus injury, so the club immediately flew him to France to be operated on by Dr Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet, the same professor who conducted Gleison Bremer’s ACL surgery in October 2024. ............ “This morning, Federico Gatti underwent selective arthroscopic meniscectomy surgery on the medial meniscus of his right knee,” reads the statement posted on the official Juventus website. “The operation, performed by Dr Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet and Dr Loic Geoffroy, in the presence of the Club’s medical director Dr Luca Stefanini, at the Clinique Sante Atlantique in Nantes, was a complete success and the footballer immediately began his rehabilitation programme.” ............ .

Gatti and Vlahovic undergo surgery today Juventus’ Federico Gatti and Dusan Vlahovic will undergo surgery today, the defender in Lyon and the striker in London. ............ Vlahovic had sustained a high-grade injury to the muscle-tendon junction of the left adductor longus during a Serie A match against Cagliari over the weekend, while a few days later, Gatti suffered a meniscus tear in a Coppa Italia match against Udinese. Gatti will go under the knife in Lyon, precisely at the Sonnery-Cottet Clinic, where Juventus defender Gleison Bremer was already treated earlier this season due to a similar issue. Vlahovic, on the other hand, will undergo surgery in London. ............ It is understood that Gatti will remain out of action for at least one month, while Vlahovic is not expected to be available again before March 2026. ............ .

Confirmed: Vlahovic will have surgery in London – Latest news on potential return date Dusan Vlahovic will have surgery on the high-grade tear in his adductor muscles, but it remains unclear exactly when the Serbia international will be able to return to action for Juventus. ............ He reported for medical checks on Monday morning, and it was confirmed later on the same day that he had suffered ‘a high-grade lesion to the muscle-tendon junction of the left adductor longus’. ............ It has been decided that the best course of treatment is to have surgery, which is scheduled to take place in London on Thursday. Initial reports suggested that it would take a minimum of three months before Vlahovic returns, Luciano Spalletti claimed that it would be “two to three months,” but admitted that he didn’t know for certain, while the recovery process could last closer to five months. ............ .

Pistocchi thinks Juventus performance against Udinese was their best so far Juventus delivered a commanding performance in their first Coppa Italia match under Luciano Spalletti last night. The men in black and white have long been regarded as one of Europe’s strongest clubs and continue to hold that reputation despite a recent run of poor form. The club are striving to reach the next level and restore the glory days at the Allianz Stadium, and Spalletti has been tasked with guiding them back to that standard. His team has shown early signs of improvement, winning three consecutive games under his management. ............ Each of these victories has been achieved in a convincing manner, with the match against Udinese highlighting the progress being made. Juventus kept a clean sheet and displayed a level of organisation and efficiency that supporters have long sought. This consistency is essential if the men in black and white are to maintain momentum and demonstrate that they are capable of sustaining a winning run. The players appear to be adapting to the mindset and tactical system that Spalletti demands, combining disciplined defending with a more proactive approach in attack. ............ Journalist Maurizio Pistocchi offered his perspective on the team’s performance against Udinese. He said, “The best Juve seen so far beats Udinese 2-0 and continues its journey in the Coppa Italia. Beyond the incidents that led to Palma’s own goal and Locatelli’s penalty, the Bianconeri appeared to be improving in terms of play and in good physical condition against a very physical and organised opponent. A clear victory, achieved by controlling the game, which reassures the Juventus atmosphere in the week leading up to the Maradona match against league leaders Napoli.” ............ .

Chiellini tips struggling summer signing to shine, says Spalletti ‘lives for Juventus’ Juventus Director of Football Strategy Giorgio Chiellini opened up on several topics related to his beloved club during a public appearance. ............ “Juventus’ history is made up of great winning cycles and counter-cycles,” noted the 41-year-old. “Unfortunately, we’re now in a counter-cycle where we haven’t managed to win for a while. We hope to get back there as soon as possible. “This season will certainly be difficult, but it doesn’t mean we won’t try in every way possible, because the ambition must be to reach the top. However, there must also be balance on both our part and yours in our judgments, in terms of expectations and pressure.” ............ “David’s goal (against Udinese) was beautiful. It’s a shame they disallowed it. But it was offside. “You know, it’s very difficult for those who come to Juventus from Italy and even more difficult for those who come to play from abroad. There are very few players who have managed to adapt in a very short time and make a difference. ............ The former Juventus and Italy captain then discussed his newly-formed bond with the club’s head coach, Luciano Spalletti, who lives and breathes football. “Luciano’s career speaks for itself; I wasn’t lucky enough to be coached by him. We developed a good relationship when I had already retired, while visiting the national team players. “At Juventus, he’s working hard on the details, paying close attention to every training session, and re-evaluating players who’ve had little space before. “He’s a man on a mission; he lives for Juve, he lives at the training centre, as he did in the past at Napoli. He’s giving his all, like everyone else, to try to reverse this trend.” ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/chiellini-jonathan-david-luciano-spalletti-juventus/

Valentini says Spalletti’s influence is beginning to show Juventus have placed its trust in Luciano Spalletti as it seeks to re-establish itself as the dominant force in Italian football. The men in black and white have endured a difficult period in recent seasons, struggling to retain relevance while several managerial appointments failed to lift them back to the top of the domestic game. Yet Juventus remain historically the biggest club in the country, and with a group of highly capable players, a return to their former stature is viewed as a realistic ambition. ............ In recent years, the men in black and white have worked tirelessly to reclaim their standing, but their progress under previous managers was limited. This lack of advancement ultimately prompted the club to turn to Spalletti, whose extensive experience and tactical acumen are seen as essential assets in guiding the team back to its best. The club intend to give him the full support required to shape a side that can compete at the highest level, and early signs suggest the players are beginning to respond to his methods. His reputation for instilling structure and encouraging decisive play has already influenced the team’s approach, and observers are taking note of these developments. ............ Antonello Valentini has offered his perspective on the improvements taking place under Spalletti. He remarked, “It is certainly a different Juventus than it was some time ago. We are starting to see Spalletti’s influence, even though there is still a lot to do. Too often, even in the headlines, there is a tendency to veer from depression to exaltation. Yesterday, I certainly saw a team that moves more vertically, that attacks more, and that has more initiative.” ............ .

Spalletti backed to make Juventus great again Andrea Ranocchia has voiced his belief that Luciano Spalletti can eventually guide Juventus back to being a top side, although he accepts that the process will require significant time and patience. Spalletti is the club’s latest permanent manager and their third appointment in 2025, which highlights the instability the men in black and white have faced in recent months. Their last league title came in 2020, a lengthy drought for a team widely regarded as the most successful in Italian football. Juventus continue to see themselves as favourites for domestic honours, yet they remain some distance from returning to their former dominance. ............ Despite the challenges, Ranocchia believes Spalletti has the qualities needed to rebuild the team. He previously achieved major success with Napoli and has a strong reputation for developing competitive squads. Juventus, however, have experienced a turbulent period marked by frequent coaching changes and a sense that the club’s traditional identity has been weakened. Re-establishing that connection between the team, the supporters, and the wider environment is viewed as essential for any long-term revival. Ranocchia suggests that Spalletti’s experience and leadership can help lay those foundations if he is given the necessary support and continuity. ............ Ranocchia expressed his admiration for Spalletti and acknowledged the difficulty of taking charge midway through a season. He said: “Yes, he’s a good coach, with a great staff. Coming in during the season is always very difficult, it takes time, but I hope he can do well and continue next year. I’m very close to him, I love him. The situation is complicated, there have been so many coaching changes, and the club seems a bit distant from the team and the Juventus atmosphere. It needs to be rebuilt, and it will take a long time, I think it will take years, to get back to the level Juve was. These are football cycles, everyone has suffered and everyone has come back, now it’s a step behind the others.” ............ .

Taveri praises Miretti as his fine form continues Fabio Miretti has returned from a long-term injury and has immediately begun delivering impressive performances for Juventus in recent matches. The midfielder is a product of the academy at the Allianz Stadium and spent last season on loan at Genoa, a spell that provided him with valuable experience and helped shape his development. This term, however, began with frustration as he suffered an injury during a pre-season fixture, leaving him unable to start a match or even earn a place on the bench for more than two months. His return to full fitness has been warmly welcomed, and his early displays suggest that he is already pushing to become one of the standout midfielders in the squad. ............ The Bianconeri are delighted to see Miretti regain his rhythm, especially given the quality he has shown since returning. His composure, intelligence and willingness to contribute in both phases of play have made him one of the most trusted figures in the first team. Juventus recognise that they must make the most of his impressive form, particularly as he continues to grow in confidence with each performance. The men in black and white view him as a player who can still improve significantly, and his resurgence offers the team an additional dimension in midfield at a crucial stage of the season. ............ Miretti’s strong form has not gone unnoticed beyond the club, with both supporters and pundits commenting on his progress. Analyst Mino Taveri remarked: “Miretti had been sidelined for a very long time, he was brought back, he was put back in the middle, he does his job and must do his job. He’s tidy, now I don’t know if he’ll become an irreplaceable lynchpin in midfield, but in the meantime Spalletti knows Miretti is there.” ............ .

How Juventus could line up against Napoli after triple defensive injury problem An injury to Federico Gatti means that Luciano Spalletti has been left without three of his first-team centre-backs for Sunday’s huge Serie A clash away against reigning champions Napoli, so how could the Bianconeri line up at the back when they take on the Partenopei at the Maradona? ............ Gatti adds to an injury list that already included two first-team centre-backs in Gleison Bremer and Daniele Rugani, both of whom are hoping to return towards the end of December. The situation means that Pierre Kalulu and Lloyd Kelly are now the only established senior centre-backs in Spalletti’s first-team squad, which is a bit of a concern given that the Old Lady have most regularly lined up in a back three this season. ............ If Spalletti is to go with a back three when he takes on his former club this weekend, it is most likely that Teun Koopmeiners, who has been tried out in the defensive line in recent weeks, joins Kalulu and Kelly as the third centre-back. There is also a possibility that Juan Cabal is given a go on the left of the three. ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/how-juventus-line-up-vs-napoli-after-gatti/

Official: Juventus confirm Gatti needs surgery after latest injury Juventus confirm Federico Gatti suffered a ‘meniscus tear’ in Tuesday’s Coppa Italia game against Udinese, so the Italian defender will need to undergo surgery. ............ Gatti underwent medical tests on Wednesday morning, after which Juventus released an official injury update: “Federico Gatti, who was substituted during the second half of the Juventus-Udinese match following a right knee sprain, underwent further radiological tests at J| Medical this morning,” the Bianconeri said. “The tests revealed a medial meniscus tear, requiring surgery, which will be performed in the coming days.” ............ Gatti will be forced to the sidelines for at least one month, although the actual recovery time will only be confirmed after the defender undergoes surgery over the coming days. ............ .
