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 .

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. ............ .

Mancanza di concentrazione ......

E addirittura. L'unica cosa che hanno in comune é il colore dei capelli.

Toro di nuovo matato ..... come sempre

Sei prevenuto nei confronti di Koopmeiners. Non sono d'accordo con te. Koop ti fará comunque cambiare idea.

Critichi un giocatore che regge il centrocampoo e fa tante cose positive tranne il gol .... per ora.

Ah non lo so. Spalletti lo convoca.

Ma é alla moda criticare i giocatori della Juve?

Spalletti potrebbe convocarlo se Ricci dovesse dare foirfait.

Mi sembra giusto che nel giorno del compleanno di Del Piero abbia segnato l'attuale numero 10 della Juventus.

KENAN YILDIZ 2-0

Sí, va bé ......

Classe sopraffina e presenza costante in tutte le zone del campo. Grande acquisto e siamo solo all'inizio.

TIM WEAH 1-0

Auguri Alex!

Thiago Motta: “I want to stay at Juventus for a long time. Derby? we’ll give 200%” Ahead of the Turin derby between Juventus and Torino, Juventus manager Thiago Motta addressed the media in a pre-match press conference. ............ Motta opened the conference by emphasizing the importance of the derby: “I have good feelings, we are ready to go all out and play a great game. It will be a great atmosphere for us and our fans.” ............ “The team is physically very well. We’ve had three days of recovery and it’s important, it makes a difference. I see the team very well. I have confidence in everyone’s commitment, from the start and during the game. Everyone will give 200%.” ............ “Since I started my career in football, I’ve been fortunate to live in great cities and play for great teams. The same is true today, I can’t ask for anything more. Douglas Luiz? I requested that he be present for the match against Lille. In the last training sessions, he still didn’t feel 100%, so I don’t want to risk him, we’ll see in the next few days, same for Nico Gonzalez. It will take time for Bremer and Milik. Adzic won’t be available against Torino either.” ............ Motta concluded by addressing his future at Juventus: “I’m not just passing through at Juventus, I want to stay for many years. But I don’t even think about these things, I work on a daily basis. I try to do the right things trying to put the best on the field.” .

Angelo Di Livio expects Juventus to face a tough test against Torino Juventus is set to face Torino in a highly anticipated derby this weekend, promising an intense matchup as both teams strive to impress their fans. While Juventus has been strong domestically, remaining unbeaten in the league, they have had a frustrating number of draws. Their supporters are eager for a decisive win and hope to avoid yet another stalemate against their city rivals, Il Toro. Torino had a promising start to the season, but their recent form has faltered, with four losses in their last five games, including consecutive defeats in their most recent outings. Juventus will be looking to capitalise on this downturn and hand Torino a third successive loss. ............ Former Juventus midfielder Angelo Di Livio, who understands the complexities of derby matches, cautions that Juventus should not underestimate Torino despite their recent struggles. Di Livio believes that Torino’s poor form could make them even more dangerous opponents in this high-stakes match. Di Livio commented, “There are always many pitfalls in a derby, also because Toro is not going through a happy moment and for this reason will be even more poisoned. Juve will have to try to play an intelligent game to overcome this obstacle.” ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/angelo-di-livio-expects-juventus-to-face-a-tough-test-against-torino/

Serie A Preview: Juventus vs Torino – Team News, Line-ups & Prediction Saturday’s Serie A action caps off at the Allianz Stadium with the latest edition of the famous Derby della Mole between Juventus and Torino. A fixture traditionally dominated by the home side catches two teams in conflicting spirits. Juventus hauled back a halftime deficit to draw 1-1 at Lille in midweek UEFA Champions League action. Dusan Vlahovic’s second-half penalty spared Bianconeri’s blushes in France, guiding them to a third stalemate across their last four competitive outings. That’s been a recurring theme for Juventus under Thiago Motta’s stewardship. They’ve drawn Serie A’s joint-high six matches this season, hence a four-point gap on table-topping Napoli despite Motta’s unbeaten league start in Turin (W5, D6). ............ Match Preview Juventus Juventus have rarely relinquished their stranglehold on this match-up. Since 1995, they’ve only lost one of their 38 encounters against Torino in all competitions (W28, D9). That run includes a comfortable 2-0 victory in this corresponding fixture last term. But there’s no room for complacency, considering the last Serie A meeting in April ended 0-0. The narrative has been quite different at this stadium, where Juventus have netted multiple goals en route to victory in four out of five top-flight clashes against Torino since 2020 (D1). Against this backdrop, Motta’s charges have only registered one triumph in their last five competitive games on home turf (D3, L1). Even so, after beating Udinese, Juventus could rack up back-to-back Serie A wins for the first time since the opening two rounds. Motta will put his trust in an almost impregnable backline that had only conceded once in four home league outings before a goal-glutted 2-2 draw against newly promoted Parma last time out. Torino ............ Team News Juventus cannot call upon the services of Arkadiusz Milik, Paul Pogba, Gleison Bremer, and Nicolas Gonzalez. However, Motta has welcomed star midfielders Douglas Luiz and Teun Koopmeiners back from injuries, with the former likely to stay on the bench in favor of Weston McKennie. ............ Juventus vs Torino Potential Starting Line-ups Juventus (4-2-3-1): Michele Di Gregorio; Nicolo Savona, Pierre Kalulu, Federico Gatti, Andrea Cambiaso; Weston McKennie, Manuel Locatelli; Francisco Conceicao, Teun Koopmeiners, Kenan Yildiz; Dusan Vlahovic. Torino (3-5-2): Vanja Milinkovic-Savic; Saul Coco, Guillermo Maripan, Adam Masina; Marcus Pedersen, Ivan Ilic, Samuele Ricci, Nikola Vlasic, Valentino Lazaro; Alieu Njie, Antonio Sanabria. Juventus vs Torino Prediction With Torino terminally unable to score without Zapata, Juventus’ sturdy defense could have a field day on Saturday. However, goals have been at a premium for Motta’s team lately, leading us to believe a single ball in the visitors’ net could settle this city derby. Prediction: Juventus to Win .
