Spalletti refuses to blame referee for Milan’s goal, appears to taunt journalists Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti admits Koni De Winter didn’t foul Randal Kolo Muani in the build-up to Milan’s opener last night: ‘I’m not going to complain about these things.’ Juventus and Milan picked up a 1-1 draw in their meeting at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday. ............ “Mariani is one of the best Italian referees, and in my opinion, the line we are seeing is correct,” Spalletti replied. “If you want to play in Europe, you have to adapt; these are not fouls, and they don’t get called. That’s the right way to do it. Of course, there can be incidents where a foul isn’t given or a yellow card is missed, but at the speed of the game, these things can happen even to a good, experienced referee like him.” ............ Spalletti seemed to take a dig at journalists, saying the new refereeing rules might limit their talking points after games. “As I said the other time, this world ‘contact’ that you like to use,” he said. “They teach you that contact means nothing. [Referee designator] Orsato will take the music away from you. Because it’s like a melody, and he takes that away from you because he doesn’t blow the whistle for a contact. Either there is an impact, or there is a foul, or you have to call it something else. “I’m not going to complain about these things; I want to see my team fight until the very end. We were lucky, because we should have taken the goal home earlier.” ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/spalletti-referee-milan-goal-journalists-juve/

Juventus 1 - AC Milan 1: Initial reaction and random observations Being the highly competitive person that he seems to be thanks simply to the career arc he’s been on over the last decade, Federico Gatti would surely prefer to be somebody who plays more than seven or eight minutes in Juventus’ first three games of the season. He may be a Juventino at heart, but he’s also somebody who surely isn’t content with sitting on the bench come the opening three games. ............ Rather than Fred Cats sneering at the back as Juve tried to lock down a win, Luciano Spalletti threw Gatti on to be the aerial threat that his team had been virtually lacking all game long on Sunday night. How did Gatti announce his presence on the field? By doing what Striker Gatti does — scoring a late header to snatch a result, this time giving Juventus a 1-1 draw against AC Milan when it looked like they were headed toward their for loss of the 2026-27 season. Gatti celebrated with the curva as you would expect him to, with the steward right on the other side of the advertising board seemingly trying to not get absolutely tramped by what was happening right above and behind him. You can be happy that Juventus still have a zero in the loss column. Or you can be frustrated that it took another instance of Striker Gatti to salvage a point in a game in which Juventus were the better side for large swaths of the 90-plus minutes. Both cases can be fair — especially when you look at how little their opponent did outside of the goal they actually scored. Juve limited a Milan side that entered the Allianz Stadium on the back of their own two-game season-opening winning run feeling rather good about where things were under new manager Ruben Amorim. And yet, it was that same Milan side that finished with three shots all game, had an xG of 0.09 (!!) and all of seven touches in the opponents’ penalty area. That is to say, in a shorter way, Juventus’ defense got the job done outside of one very well-placed shot that gave Milan the lead with just over 20 minutes to go. So where does that leave us? Right back to a constant theme of these first three games of the new season: Juventus’ inability to score consistently. This wasn’t like the first two games of the season where Juve were blowing chance after chance after chance. Their shot count wasn’t pushing 30 and you were left pounding your head on the table because of just how many goals they should have as compared to how many goals they actually have. But, Juventus hit the post (again), they forced some very good saves out of Mike Maignan in the Milan goal and certainly shouldn’t have been in position where they were chasing the game in the final 20 minutes. Yet they were. Because in this second game without Kenan Yildiz to lead the push forward from the left wing, this team just ain’t clicking up front. And now that the schedule is very close to getting very busy, you just can’t help but wonder when their misfirings in attack is actually going to truly come back to bite them and they can’t overcome it with some randomness like we saw Sunday night. Or maybe you wouldn’t consider Striker Gatti coming up big again. At this point, I don’t think I’d blame you considering that this isn’t the first time he’s been the leading role in that aforementioned late-game randomness. At the very least, we know that he is going to be able to put his head on the ball — which is something that we couldn’t say for some of the other Juventus players on the field in the 92nd minute on Sunday night. ............ RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Seven points in the first three games. Four of those are thanks to goals from central defenders. Just as we all thought would be the case before the season began. The last thing Randal Kolo Muani needed was to start the season like he has. For a man who is coming off a rough season in the Premier League — and, if you followed Spurs at all, you’d know not all of those struggles were exclusive to him — getting back to the place he truly wanted to be was looked as a much-needed (second) fresh start. Instead, he’s now gone the first three games without scoring and the natives are already getting restless. (And not just our comment section.) This man needs a goal in the worst possible way. Juventus were the better team on Sunday. That is what I know. Guessing the general message behind this chat was “GO SCORE A GOAL FOR US!” At least that is what I am going to pretend it was and you can’t tell me otherwise. Amorim this. Amorim that. Did you see how little Milan actually did in the final third? As much as the attack is still a total question mark, it does appear that Juventus’ two summer signings in defense — as well as Bremer being a few more months removed from his comeback — has tightened things up at the back in a big way. ............ This was a mixed first start in a Juventus shirt for Kerim Alajbegović. He started out strongly, was very involved, got a couple of pops on goal and looked pretty dang lively even if those shots were off target. But he definitely faded — especially in the second half — as the game went on. Was it conditioning? Probably. Still a decent first start, even if it was quiet last part before he was subbed off. Teun Koopmeiners with two goal involvements in his last two games. Just as we all predicted. I think it’s pretty safe to say that Nico González was absolutely spent by the time that he was part of the double sub that brought on Koopmeiners and Jérémie Boga in the 64th minute. That man ran his socks off and was an absolute menace for a lot of his time on the field. ............ Juventus have now hit the post at least once in all three of their games this season. More shots on goal rather than actually on the goal, please. ............ So that wasn’t a foul on Kolo Muani that led to Milan’s goal? Do I have that right? Because it did look like a foul to me, but then again I am totally biased and don’t want to see Juventus allowing dumb goals. Zeki Celik being Juventus’ left back has brought just so much more calm defensively compared to the man who manned that position for much of the last few years. Juventus needed just a consistent, confident defender who won’t continuously shoot his team in the foot — and that feels exactly like what Celik has done so far since moving to Turin. And at a position we weren’t expecting him to play just a few weeks ago. ............ Pure, genuine rima punta Woltemade is not. But he certainly showed to be a more technical player than this current version of Kolo Muani. (Which, I know, isn’t saying much with how rough Kolo Muani’s touches on the ball were in this game, but just trying to use a little comparison, folks.) ............

Juventus message sent by Gatti and Conceicao: ‘Never give in, fight against everyone’ Federico Gatti insists the late Juventus equaliser confirms his ‘history, as I never give in, I fight against everyone and everything,’ while Francisco Conceicao claims Milan ‘did nothing.’ It was a dramatic night in Turin, as Alphadjo Cisse had opened the scoring somewhat against the run of play with a well-taken solo effort, controlling the Samuel Chukwueze cross-field pass and drilling through Pierre Kalulu’s legs. However, after Francisco Conceicao thumped the woodwork, Juve got their late equaliser in stoppages through a Gatti header on the Teun Koopmeiners cross. When he was celebrating, Gatti screamed into the crowd of Juventus fans “it’s always me!” ............ “I’m sorry you are shocked, this is what I’ve always done in my past,” Gatti said. “This is my history, I have an inner strength, I never give in, I fight against everyone and everything with this level of determination.” There had been reports that Gatti was for sale and would be sent to Napoli, following his old coach Max Allegri, along with potential exits towards the Premier League or Turkish Super Lig. “Clearly, I’ll be honest, this brings a point and enthusiasm, but we need to do a lot more if we want to win these games and aim higher.” ............ “During the 90 minutes, I feel the truth is that we deserved to win the game,” Conceicao said. “Milan scored the goal, but did absolutely nothing else. I hit the post, Fede scored, so it was in a way good that we didn’t lose, but we deserved all three points.” ............ Conceicao was named Serie A Player of the Match despite not finding the back of the net, as he has rattled the frame of the goal twice this season. “I have been working on my finishing, but I hit the woodwork twice this season, I know if those shots were a few centimetres the other way, people would say now I’m a great hitman. I know, this is football, I am working to make the difference with those 5-10 centimetres and get it into the net.” .

Spalletti: ‘Juventus cannot ask permission from Milan, I stick with Kolo Muani’ Luciano Spalletti insists Juventus need to ‘not ask permission or wait to be invited’ after a 1-1 draw with Milan, but also assures he’s ‘staying with Randal Kolo Muani’ to the end. It was a tough test in Turin, as Francisco Conceicao forced several saves and hit the woodwork, but Milan had taken the lead through Alphadjo Cisse’s solo strike, the only genuine Rossoneri opportunity of the match. A substitute proved decisive for Juve, as Federico Gatti was thrown on as more of an adjunct centre-forward than a defender, nodding in the Teun Koopmeiners cross from six yards in stoppages for the 1-1 draw. ............ “These are the foundations to build on, because we put in the performance, Juventus pressed them constantly and tried to raise the tempo of the game even at 0-0,” Spalletti said. “We had the right intentions, but clearly we need to improve the choices that we make, and not ask permission in these games. You can’t wait to be invited, you have to go there and take the game by the scruff of the neck.” ............ “I don’t know if it’s a problem, but Nick Woltemade has that capability in the box, so he can be someone to aim for. With Kolo Muani, I will stay on this path and see at the end where this path takes us, I choose Kolo Muani as a striker and will stick with him to the end of the season. When we get there, we’ll see where we are.” ............ “When we found ourselves in the final third to break through their defensive line, that is where we need to improve. We’ve also got to improve constructing the chances, because we were in those positions many times and just needed the ball 5cm higher, or on the right foot instead of the left, these are tiny details that can make the difference,” added Spalletti. ............ “The team had the strength to keep pushing, as it didn’t deserve to go behind, but kept the same determination to keep going with that same attitude, and was rewarded with the equaliser. “Milan are a great team, there’s no getting around that. We can become a great team, as we showed again today, so I have faith and thank the players for what they showed today.” .

Amorim: ‘Milan didn’t deserve to win, or Juventus didn’t deserve to lose’ Ruben Amorim admits Milan ‘didn’t deserve to win, or more like Juventus didn’t deserve to lose’ after their 1-1 draw in Turin. ‘We need to move more and be braver.’ The Rossoneri had struggled to create any genuine scoring opportunities in Turin and thanked first Mike Maignan, then the frame of the goal for keeping out Francisco Conceicao. Substitute Alphadjo Cisse gave them the lead somewhat against the run of play with a well-taken angled drive through Pierre Kalulu’s legs, but in stoppages Federico Gatti nodded in the Teun Koopmeiners cross for the late equaliser. It means both Milan and Juventus lose their 100 per cent start to the Serie A season, dropping points in this head-to-head. ............ “We didn’t deserve to win, if we are honest, or more like Juventus didn’t deserve to lose,” confessed Amorim. “We tried to play our game, we were not good with the ball. We had moments when we controlled the game in the first half, but we started losing the ball a lot, we didn’t play well, but again we have been working together for two months. We need to do better, but we need time, it was a tough game for us.” Milan had not scored in Serie A against Juve since Olivier Giroud in May 2023, firing blanks in the next six meetings until 19-year-old Cisse found the net. ............ “My feeling is when my team doesn’t have the ball, we struggle. When Juve put a lot of strikers in front, we defended well, but we suffered more when we lost the ball and they had transitions. “We are not going to change the way we play, because we know that in some games it’ll go well, in others it won’t, but the important thing is that we fight to win. We could’ve won today, but again Juventus didn’t deserve to lose either.” ............ “It’s a big stadium, against a big team and a very good manager, so I don’t want to be too negative with my players, but of course we want more.” ............ “Today was not the perfect day, but sometimes I want too much, and we were so close to winning this game.” .

Serie A | Juventus 1-1 Milan: Gatti late to ruin Cisse party Federico Gatti in stoppages cancelled out the Alphadjo Cisse opener, as Juventus and Milan shared the spoils with decisive substitutes. Both sides had started the season with back-to-back wins, even if performances weren’t entirely convincing. Juve missed Kenan Yildiz, Khephren Thuram, Weston McKennie, Andrea Cambiaso, Jeff Ekhator, Juan Cabal and deadline day signing Pape Matar Sarr, but giving first starts of the season to Nico Gonzalez and Kerim Alajbegovic. ............ Nico Gonalez stung Mike Maignan’s gloves, as did Francisco Conceicao, with Manuel Locatelli sliding in unable to turn the rebound on target. Francisco Conceicao ran onto a Douglas Luiz floated ball to again force a difficult save out of Maignan at the near post. After the restart, a poor Randal Kolo Muani first touch failed to make the most of the smart Conceicao through ball, with two important Koni De Winter tackles. Conceicao was easily the most dangerous Juventus player, his strike thumping the base of the upright on 55 minutes after Yunus Musah lost possession in midfield. ............ Ruben Amorim’s substitutions proved crucial, as Samuel Chukwueze went on the counter-attack with a cross-field pass, Alphadjo Cisse controlled it dead, cut inside Manuel Locatelli, and drilled the finish through Pierre Kalulu’s legs into the far bottom corner with the right boot. Juve had some complaints about the initial De Winter challenge on Kolo Muani to spark the move, but it was the first goal Milan scored in Serie A against Juventus since Olivier Giroud in May 2023. ............ Nick Woltemade came on for his Bianconeri debut, and ballooned over on the half-volley when a Teun Koopmeiners free kick into the wall was put back into his path. Jeremie Boga hit a snapshot straight at Maignan, but the equaliser came in stoppages when Koopmeiners whipped a cross from the left onto the head of Federico Gatti at the back post. The defender was expected to leave the Bianconeri this summer, but remained and made his mark. Curiously, Gatti had also scored against Amorim’s Sporting for Juventus. ............ .

Juventus fans pay tribute to Baresi ahead of Milan match: ‘With infinite respect’ Juventus fans paid tribute to Milan legend Franco Baresi ahead of this evening’s Serie A match, referencing a specific incident that left its mark in 1990. ............ There were emotional moments before kick-off, as it was the first meeting of the sides since the death of legendary Milan captain Baresi in July at the age of 66. There was a message on the big screens of the stadium in Turin that prompted a standing ovation from everyone in the arena. “Class, style, leadership and respect, an example for generations of players and fans. His memory will live forever, with infinite respect, the applause of the Stadium is all for you.” ............ The Juventus supporters also had their own more pointed tribute to Baresi, with a banner referencing a very specific moment in their shared history. “07-03-1990: Thank you Baresi”. It was a reference to the moment when Milan played at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels against Mechelen, the first time an Italian side had been there since the tragedy that saw 39 Juventus fans killed by the collapse of a wall. Baresi and Milan had been told by the authorities they could not pay tribute before kick-off, but the captain took the 39 red roses anyway and walked over to the spot to lay them down, daring anyone to try and stop him. .

FEDERICO GATTI 1-1

Che bel giocatorino Alajbegovic

Juventus vs AC Milan: Preview and Prediction Juventus kicked off their season with a nervy win over newly promoted Frosinone, with a first-half Gleison Bremer goal enough to settle the clash. They fared better in the second match and their first on home soil, as goals from Nico Gonzalez and Teun Koopmeiners secured all three points. However, Luciano Spalletti’s side are now set for their first major test as they host AC Milan in Turin. The two teams were involved in a disappointing end to the previous season, with Milan’s sudden drop in form in the final weeks also impacting Juventus’s finish outside the Champions League places. In the context of the Serie A campaign, this could be their first big opportunity to halt a rival in their tracks, as Milan bring a significant challenge to Turin. Meanwhile, AC Milan have enjoyed a bright start under new manager Ruben Amorim, with two wins from their opening two Serie A matches. The Rossoneri began their campaign with an away victory over Torino in Turin, followed by a comfortable win against Venezia. ............ Team News & Tactics Juventus Compared to his AC Milan counterpart, Luciano Spalletti has a rather long list of absentees ahead of this huge clash in Turin. Kenan Yildiz, Khephren Thuram, and Jeff Ekhator are certainly out for this match, while Weston McKennie, Andrea Cambiaso, and Edon Zhegrova are all doubts, with late assessments expected to determine their availability. Spalletti could also make several selection decisions based on the integration of new arrivals and the form of players such as Jeremie Boga and Nicolas Gonzalez, with the duo likely to be preferred in the attacking setup. Zeki Celik is expected to start at left-back, while Pierre Kalulu, Gleison Bremer and Jhon Lucumi are likely to complete the backline for the Bianconeri. Douglas Luiz could start alongside Manuel Locatelli in midfield. Francisco Conceicao will feature on the right, and while the aforementioned Gonzalez and Boga complete the attacking setup, Randal Kolo Muani will lead the line for Juventus. Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumi, Celik; Luiz, Locatelli; Conceicao, Gonzalez, Boga; Kolo Muani AC Milan ............ Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Maignan; Pavlovic, De Winter, Gila; Chukwueze, Musah, Modric, Estupinan; Rabiot, Cisse; Ramos Key Stats Juventus are undefeated in 11 of their last 12 matches in Serie A. Juventus have not conceded a goal in Serie A this season. AC Milan have failed to score in any of their last six league meetings against Juventus. AC Milan have not scored at the Allianz Stadium in over three years. Player to Watch Goncalo Ramos ........... Prediction Juventus 1-2 AC Milan Juventus have shown two different performances so far this season: a nervy win followed by a more comfortable display. However, they could be severely tested by this Rossoneri side, as Juventus may struggle to contain their fluidity, even at home. Milan remain somewhat underappreciated under Amorim, and this is another game where the Portuguese manager is likely to view it as a major test of character. Based on the performances from both teams so far, Milan could edge a win in Turin, although they are likely to concede at least once in the process. .

Possiede un ottimo senso del gol e riesce a fornire un gran numero di assist grazie alla capacità di dialogare con i compagni, sfruttando la sua fisicità per il gioco di sponda e le sue abilità nel dribbling. Data la sua imponente statura è soprannominato Il gigante di Brema, oltre ad esser stato definito "Un Lionel Messi alto due metri", mentre per alcune caratteristiche e per il suo aspetto fisico è stato spesso paragonato a Rudi Völler. Carriera Club Gli inizi, Stoccarda Dopo aver passato tre anni nella squadra di quartiere del TS Woltmershausen, cresce nel settore giovanile del Werder Brema, con cui esordisce in prima squadra il 1º febbraio 2020, nell'incontro di Bundesliga perso 2-1 contro l'Augusta. Il 30 agosto 2022 passa in prestito all'Elversberg, militante in 3. Liga. Segna la prima rete in carriera nella vittoria per 1-0 contro il Bayreuth. Totalizza in campionato 10 gol in 31 presenze, decisivi per portare in bianconeri in 2. Bundesliga. Segna anche 7 reti in 4 partite in Coppa di Germania. Nella stagione 2023-2024, di rientro a Brema, inizia a giocare regolarmente anche in Bundesliga, disputando 30 partite in campionato, con 2 gol, entrambi segnati nel pareggio 2-2 contro il Borussia M'gladbach. Il 20 maggio 2024 firma a parametro zero un contratto quadriennale per lo Stoccarda. Realizza la sua prima rete nella sconfitta 3-2 di campionato contro l'Eintracht Francoforte.

Debutta con i Magpies il 13 settembre seguente, nella gara di campionato vinta 1-0 contro il Wolverhampton, in cui è proprio Woltemade a segnare il gol decisivo. Cinque giorni dopo esordisce in UEFA Champions League e nelle competizioni UEFA per club, nella sconfitta 2-1 con il Barcellona. Dopo un avvio bruciante, nella seconda parte di stagione subisce un brusco calo di rendimento, dovuto anche alla posizione riservatagli dal tecnico Eddie Howe, dato che spesso ha ricoperto il ruolo di trequartista. Prestito alla Juventus Il 1º settembre 2026 viene ceduto in prestito oneroso a 5 milioni di euro alla Juventus, in Serie A. Il debutto con i bianconeri arriva cinque giorni dopo, subentrando a Douglas Luiz nella 3ª giornata di campionato pareggiata 1-1 contro il Milan.
