Savona incredulous by his swift rise at Juventus: “I never expected such strong start” Juventus youngster Nicolo Savona was one of the main stars in Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Udinese. The 21-year-old received the MVP award after the final whistle. ............ Before the start of the season, Savona was a relative unknown who had yet to make a single appearance in Serie A. He had only featured for Juventus Next Gen. But after impressing Thiago Motta in pre-season, he was handed a promotion to the first team, and immediately thrust into the starting lineup. Therefore, the fullback has even taken himself by surprise with his swift rise to stardom as he admitted after the contest. “I never expected such a strong start with good performances and goals,” said the Juventus youth product in his post-match press conference. ............ .

Thiago Motta weighs in on Savona’s rise: “He was shy at first” ............ Motta explained how Nicolo Savona initially joined the first team as a shy youngster before swiftly rising to the plate. “Savona can achieve great things, but it all depends on him. In the first 10 to 15 days, he was shy and reserved, both on and off the pitch. But Giuntoli and I felt that he had to adapt to the first team. “Then I remember against Nuremberg when we were in difficulty, he showed his character when he came on the pitch. He continued to train hard and commit himself, every day in training, so the credit goes to him for reaching this level.” ............ .

Juventus eye Zirkzee as United open door for potential loan move Joshua Zirkzee’s Manchester United career has hit a rough patch, with the Dutch striker struggling to adapt to the Premier League’s style of play. This situation has caught the attention of several Italian clubs, with Juventus leading the race for a potential January move. Zirkzee, who was expected to follow in the footsteps of Dutch legend Ruud van Nistelrooy, has found himself on the fringes of the United squad. ............ Juventus see this as an opportunity to strengthen their attack. With Arkadiusz Milik still recovering from knee surgery, the Bianconeri are in need of a backup for Dusan Vlahovic. The tight Serie A standings have fueled Juventus’ ambition to bolster their squad. Under Motta at Bologna, Zirkzee excelled as a “nine and a half,” showcasing his ability to link play and create space for teammates. However, these qualities haven’t been as effective in the Premier League, where a more direct style is often preferred. ............ Manchester United, having invested €43 million in Zirkzee, are now considering a loan move in January to help the player regain form and potentially increase his value. This aligns with the plans of new manager Ruben Amorim, who reportedly doesn’t see Zirkzee fitting into his system. Juventus is keen to facilitate this move, viewing Zirkzee’s €3.5 million net salary as manageable for a six-month loan. ............ .

Juventus consider move for Manchester United defender Victor Lindelöf Juventus are reportedly eyeing Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof as a potential January transfer target to bolster their defensive options. The Swedish center-back, whose contract with United expires in 2025, has emerged as a candidate for the Bianconeri’s backline. Juventus are evaluating Lindelof as a possible addition to their squad. However, the player’s age – he’s 30 years old – could be a factor that complicates negotiations. ............ Despite his age, Lindelof’s international experience could make him a valuable short-term option for Juventus. However, his contract situation presents a challenge. While United might be willing to sell at a reduced price given his contract’s expiration in 2025, Lindelof may prefer a longer-term commitment from any potential new club. Juventus’ Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli is said to have good relations with Lindelof’s representatives, which could facilitate negotiations. This relationship was evidenced in the recent transfer of Denis Zakaria to Monaco. ............ .

“Ups and downs” Graziani defends Juventus inconsistent form Juventus has experienced a challenging start to the season, marked by inconsistency in their performances. The Bianconeri have shown flashes of brilliance in some matches, but they’ve also had difficulty in other games, struggling to produce the results they desire. Ciccio Graziani, a well-known football expert, believes there is a clear reason for these ups and downs, largely due to the changes at the club during the summer transfer window. In the offseason, Juventus made significant changes to their squad, including appointing a new manager and bringing in fresh faces to strengthen their team. Thiago Motta has had to adapt to a new environment and work with a squad that features several new players. The mix of new signings and a new tactical system has, understandably, resulted in some inconsistency in performance. While Juventus has been impressive in certain games, the team has also had matches where they struggled to find rhythm and dominate. Despite these challenges, Graziani is optimistic about Juventus’ prospects. ............ Graziani remarked, “Juventus must find continuity in their play, in their team play, but we’ll give them time also because with so many young players and this new course, there can be some ups and downs.” ............ While some critics have been quick to point out their struggles, Graziani believes that these criticisms should be viewed with consideration, given the transitional phase the club is undergoing. As the team continues to evolve, Juventus fans will hope to see more stability and better results in the coming months. .

OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Montero out, Brambilla in as Juve Next Gen manager A brutal start to the Serie C season has cost a beloved figure at Juventus his job. Juventus have turned to a familiar face to try and get the Next Gen squad’s 2024-25 season out of the doldrums of what has taken place the first three months of the new campaign. It has, unfortunately, cost a beloved name at the club his job. After weeks of speculation about Paolo Montero’s job security, Juventus announced Tuesday that the 53-year-old former defender has been relieved of his duties as Next Gen manager just 14 games into his tenure after being promoted from the primavera over the summer. The man that is replacing Montero is the man with whom Montero succeed as head coach, with Massimo Brambilla returning to the club after a very brief stint as a manager in Serie C with Foggia that saw him fired in late September following their own poor start to the season. Brambilla, who coached the Next Gen squad from 2022 until this past summer, has signed a two-year contract through 2025 with an option for another season. ............ The Next Gen’s seven points are the second-lowest total of any team in Serie C. There’s been a whole lot of factors that have gone into the Next Gen’s struggles — important players being injured, some of the best performers from last season either being promoted to the senior squad or being sold to generate revenue — but Montero’s managerial struggles were arguably the biggest issue of them all. ............ .

Season over for Juventus defender Juan Cabal Juventus have received troubling news from the Colombian national team camp, as reports suggest defender Juan Cabal has sustained a season-ending knee injury during training with Colombia. ............ While the initial report only confirmed Cabal’s absence from the national team, more concerning news has emerged from Colombia. There are growing fears that the injury could be more severe than initially thought, with speculation about possible cruciate ligament involvement in the knee. ............ This injury comes as a considerable blow to Juventus, who are already dealing with defensive challenges. Manager Thiago Motta is currently coping with the prolonged absence of center-back Gleison Bremer, and Cabal’s injury further depletes the team’s defensive options. ............ Juventus will be anxiously awaiting the results of further medical examinations to determine the full extent of Cabal’s injury. These tests will provide a clearer picture of the damage and help establish a timeline for his recovery. . Read more -> https://www.footitalia.com/season-over-for-juventus-defender-juan-cabal/

New Man United boss Amorim keen to bring in Juventus defender Incoming Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly determined to sign Juventus captain Danilo when the transfer window opens in January. ............ Amorim will ask Man United to go after Danilo in January. This would be a return to Manchester for the 33-year-old plied his trade at Man City between 2017 and 2019 before sealing a move to Juventus. ............ The Brazilian cemented himself as a stalwart in Turin over the years, and has been the club’s first captain since 2023. However, his role has been reduced this season under the guidance of Thiago Motta. He also failed to impress in his most recent starts against Stuttgart, Inter and Parma, prompting the manager to drop him from the lineup in favor of Federico Gatti and Pierre Kalulu. Moreover, Danilo is currently running on an expiring contract, and he appears likely to leave Turin at the end of the season. ............ .

Torino fans vandalize Allianz Stadium after Derby defeat against Juventus The Allianz Stadium witnessed an ugly row at the end of the Derby della Mole between Juventus and Torino, as a section of the visiting supporters deliberately caused damage to their rivals’ ground. The Granata fans were visibly upset by their team’s display at the final whistle, giving them a post-match earful. ............ The Juventus fans who were near the away sector reported several objects being thrown towards them, including cigarette butts, urine and beer. Moreover, circulating photos online show how the toilets at the Allianz Stadium have been seriously damaged, as well as the lights. Other footage display stadium seats being detached and thrown on the pitch. These events will certainly warrant an investigation by the Italian authorities as well as the FIGC. And if proven guilty, the Torino fans can expect a ban as well as a potential fine for the club. ............ .

Juventus 2 - Torino 0: Initial reaction and random observations Like so many years before, we can say it once again: Torino é bianconera. Not a bad way to ring in Alessandro Del Piero’s 50th birthday, either. Or when there’s a guy (or gal) in a NASA space suit walking into the stadium and around the field prior to kickoff. Whichever one you prefer, you can go with that one. No matter how you looked at it, the 159th Derby della Mole played out like so many others — and that’s because it ended in a Juventus win. Juve built an early lead through Timothy Weah’s 18th-minute goal in what was a first half in which Thiago Motta’s side was in complete control. And while the second 45 minutes didn’t exactly go as smoothly as the first simply because of the physical nature that became of it, Kenan Yildiz capped the night in which his idol celebrated his golden birthday with a slick diving header to give Juventus a 2-0 win over Torino on Saturday at the Allianz Stadium. Yildiz, as so many hoped he would, proceeded to celebrate like his idol, too — putting the finishing touches on another outing in which he was one of Juve’s leading men. ............ It was a showing that surely will have Motta pleased after taking part in his first Turin derby. Juventus, for the most part, gave Torino very little chance to do much of anything. Even as the pattern of play slowed down a bit in the second half because of its start-stop nature — seriously, there were so many fouls and stoppages to go along with much more even possession — Torino really couldn’t muster much of anything. ............ Considering how Juve were playing going into the last international break, this feels like Motta’s squad is in a better spot now than they were a little over a month ago. So maybe, just maybe, things are starting to click on a consistent basis after a couple of months in which Motta’s squad showed flashes but also struggled to do it a decent amount of the time. ............ RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Text from a Juventus friend about Yildiz early in the first half: “Would be awesome to score and celebrate with La Linguaccia.” Ask and you shall receive, my friend. Good times. Yildiz deserved that goal with how he played, too. The young man was on one. That run from Cambiaso on the shot that led to Weah’s goal — that was pretty. ............ By the way, Weah has never previously scored more than three goals in a domestic season. He’s now got four goals. It’s only November. Guessing he likes this season a lot better than some of the others. Federico Gatti didn’t have to do Vanja Milinkovic-Savic like that. He really didn’t. ............ Mattia Perin’s first save of the night came in the 89th minute. ............ Going off that, it’s pretty clear that Gatti and Pierre Kalulu are hands down the best pairing in the center of defense during this Bremer-less time of our lives. ............ Speaking of Yildiz, he’s now the third-youngest Juventus player to score in the Derby della Mole, according to Opta. Something tells me that he might score a few more goals against Torino while wearing the No. 10 jersey before it’s all said and done. ............ One more Yildiz stat: Guess who led Juventus in tackles against Torino? Yeah, it was Yildiz. He had five tackles! That’s twice as many as any of his Juve teammates not named Pierre Kalulu. Manuel Locatelli threw out another one of those performances that had a lot of us thinking “What the hell are you thinking, Mister Spalletti?” Teun Koopmeiners will eventually score one of those pullbacks at the top of the box. I promise, he actually will. We don’t know when he will, but he will. Juventus still haven’t suffered defeated to a visiting Torino side since 1995. Life was so much easier back then. ............ Now we go into the international break and hope that nobody gets hurt over the next two weeks. I don’t know about you all, but after seven games in 22 days, I am tired. Time for a rest even though the Juve players who are going out on international duty won’t do that at all..

Con questo gol, Kenan Yildiz é diventato il terzo piú giovane giocatore della Juventus ad aver segnato nel derby della mole. Davanti a lui in questa classifica ci sono Felice Placido Borel e Bruno Nicolé.

“This is for you, Alex!” – Yildiz dedicates Juventus Derby triumph to Del Piero Juventus teenager Kenan Yildiz paid homage to his idol Alessandro Del Piero during and after the Derby della Mole against Torino. The Bianconeri took the lead in the first half through a Timothy Weah tap-in, but the Turkish teenager seemed hellbent on getting on the scoresheet, especially since the contest coincided with Del Piero’s 50th birthday. ............ Yildiz exulted after scoring his goal by mimicking the iconic tongue-out celebration of the Juventus great as a fitting homage. After the match, the Turkiye international explicitly dedicated the Derby win to his idol. “I’m very happy with this goal. This is for you Alex, happy birthday!” said the 19-year-old in his post-match interview. ............ “Cambiaso works extremely hard. I’m happy to have him on my side. I also try to help him at the back as much as I can. “Inter vs Napoli? We’re not thinking about it.” ............ .

Kenan Yildiz dedicates Juventus goal to legendary Del Piero Kenan Yildiz had a very special dedication for his goal in the Derby della Mole to birthday boy Alex Del Piero and received extra praise from Juventus teammate Andrea Cambiaso. ............ Turkey international Kenan Yildiz always celebrates by sticking his tongue out, a tribute to his hero Alex Del Piero, but it was even more special tonight because it is the Juve legend’s 50th birthday. “I am very, very happy for this goal. This one is for Alex, thank you for everything, happy birthday! I also thank the team, we are doing really well,” Kenan Yildiz told Sky Sport Italia. ............ Standing next to Kenan Yildiz, Cambiaso thanked the youngster for helping out with defending when required. “He is doing really well, the most important thing is to help your teammates and he is doing that. He is a fantastic lad, with great talent, he just has to keep going like that.” ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/kenan-yildiz-dedicates-juventus-goal-del-piero/

Thiago Motta ‘satisfied with result and performance’ for Juventus Thiago Motta was ‘happy with both the result and performance’ as Juventus beat Torino 2-0, urging Kenan Yildiz to make more of the attacks that prompted his goal. ............ “It is always important to play with balance and it was another good performance where we bring three points home. I am happy both with the result and the performance, in a derby on home turf, and thank our fans for their support,” Thiago Motta told Sky Sport Italia. “I also want to thank the players, because it was not easy playing the third game in a week, but we remained solid, focused and effective when needed. We certainly deserved the victory.” ............ “I am very happy with Kenan’s goal, because we must keep getting him to attack the back post. Timothy is more accustomed to doing that, he also did very well along with Dusan Vlahovic and Teun Koopmeiners, who help our left-backs by blocking off the movements of the Torino midfielders.” ............ “We started with Tim today because he is going through a great period of form. The game lasts over 90 minutes now, we must be on our toes throughout and realise anything can happen, so we need options off the bench. We can do that by alternating the forwards, while they can and already have also played together. ............ This result puts Juve within a point of leaders Napoli, awaiting tomorrow night’s Scudetto showdown between Inter and the Partenopei at San Siro. .

Player Ratings: Juventus 2-0 Torino, Yildiz’s show Kenan Yildiz was Man Of The Match in Juventus’ 2-0 win over city rivals Torino. The Turkish talent scored the second goal of the night against the Granata, while Timothy Weah had opened the account in the first half, capitalising on an impressive Andrea Cambiaso solo attack. The Bianconeri were in control of the match, especially in the first half. Even if Torino tried to bounce back after the break, they were never really dangerous and ended up losing their third consecutive league game. ............ Juventus: Perin 6; Savona 5.5 (86′ Danilo N/A), Gatti 6.5, Kalulu 6.5, Cambiaso 7; Locatelli 6.5, K Thuram 6; Weah 7, Koopmeiners 6.5, Yildiz 8 (86′ McKennie N/A); Vlahovic 5.5 (73′ Conceiçao 7). Coach: Motta 6.5. Best Juventus player – Yildiz 8: He would have been among the best players even without his goal: 95% passing accuracy (20/21) and two successful dribbles from three. He dominated down the left flank and his third goal in Serie A this season was the icing on the cake. Lowest Juventus rating – Vlahovic 5.5: Same rating as Savona, who wasn’t always accurate with the ball at his feet. After a disappointing performance, Vlahovic was subbed off at minute 73: He lost possession seven times and had just 17 touches and 78% passing accuracy. Juventus coach—Motta 6.5: Torino never really troubled the Old Lady: low in confidence and weak in attack. In this scenario, the Bianconeri easily controlled the game and never felt the Granata could score. However, they should have created more goal-scoring opportunities against a team in deep crisis. ............ .

Juventus Player Ratings vs Torino: Yildiz Pays Fitting Homage to Del Piero Juventus (4-2-3-1) Mattia Perin – 6.5 ............ Nicolò Savona – 6 The new Italy boy looked composed and sharp at the back, but still needs to work on his passing and overall technical skills. Federico Gatti – 6.5 The former Frosinone man was always happy to bully his opponents off the ball, especially Tony Sanabria. He was almost embroiled in a titanic brawl against Vanja Milinkovic-Savic. Pierre Kalulu – 7 Another solid outing at the back from the Milan loanee who hardly put a foot wrong, and was almost always the first to the ball. Andrea Cambiaso – 7.5 An outstanding showing from the versatile full-back who somehow found a channel on the left side and launched a courageous run that yielded the first Juventus goal. He was a thorn in Torino’s back all night, massively contributing to both phases. Manuel Locatelli – 7 The former Sassuolo man is becoming a true general at the heart of Thiago Motta’s lineup. Shielded the backline impeccably and instigated the play that led to the second goal with a precise long ball. Khephren Thuram – 6.5 A dynamic display from the new Juventus signing under the watchful eye of his father Lilian. ............ Timothy Weah – 7 The American was in the right place at the right time to break the deadlock with a simple tap-in. His pace gave Valentino Lazaro nightmares. Teun Koopmeiners – 6 The Dutchman is slowly but surely coming into his own at Juventus, and is already acting as a technical leader, giving instructions to his teammates, especially in the counter-pressing. Threatened to score on a couple of occasions, and picked up Weah with a clever assist for the disallowed goal. Kenan Yildiz – 7.5 The Turkish teenager caused havoc for the Granata almost every time he received the ball. Kickstarted the play that led to Weah’s opener, and sealed the win for Juventus with a sliding header that wrongfooted Milinkovic-Savic. Dusan Vlahovic – 5.5 ............ Substitutes Francisco Conceicao – 7 A super cameo from the diminutive Portuguese winger who picked up Yildiz with a sublime cross for the second Juventus goal. Weston McKennie – N/A Danilo – N/A .

Fans in the Curva Sud paid tribute to the former striker in the second half with three chants. The first was ‘Happy Birthday Alex Del Piero, while the second and third were the classic ‘Alessandro Del Piero olé’ and ‘C’è solo un capitano’, which means ‘There is only one captain.’ ............ .

Juventus claim a comfortable Derby della Mole win over Torino Juventus secured a 2-0 win against Torino this evening, returning to winning form after their midweek Champions League draw at Lille. Juventus started well against an out-of-form Torino but initially struggled to find the net in the early stages of the game. However, they broke through before the 20-minute mark. Timothy Weah was in the right place to turn in a rebound, putting Juventus in the lead. ............ Torino didn’t put up enough of a fight to make the game particularly engaging. This gave Juve the chance to extend their lead. Weah had the ball in the net a second time, but the goal was ruled out due to a handball. Thiago Motta then brought on Francisco Conceicao, who assisted Juventus’ second goal with a fine cross for Kenan Yildiz to finish. ............ .
