“We played a serious match” Thuram reacts to Juventus win against Wydad Juventus secured a commanding 4-1 victory over Wydad this evening, continuing their impressive run in the Club World Cup with back-to-back wins. Following a 5-0 thrashing of Al Ain, the Bianconeri once again demonstrated their strength, proving their earlier result was no fluke. The team is using this tournament to regroup and refine their form after a challenging end to their domestic season. Under Igor Tudor’s guidance, the players are gradually adapting to his tactical demands. ............ Khephren Thuram emphasised the focus within the squad and their respect for their opponents, stating: “I saw Juve well, we played a serious match. We worked well as a team. Good that we won today.” ............ He added, “It was not easy, because Wydad is a serious team that plays well on the counterattack, they have very fast players. And also the defenders and midfielders were very serious in making preventive balls.” This approach reflects Juventus’ broader attitude to the competition. Although it forms part of their pre-season preparations, the players are treating it with a high level of commitment. ............ .

Yildiz insists he scored a hat-trick against Wydad and not a brace Kenan Yildiz remains firm in his belief that he scored Juventus’ first goal against Wydad, although the goal was officially recorded as an own goal during the match. The young attacker’s close-range shot took a deflection on its way into the net, but it is widely believed that the ball would have gone in regardless of the deflection. At present, it is still unclear whether Yildiz will be officially credited with the goal. Should that happen, it would mark a remarkable milestone, as he would have scored his first hat-trick in a Juventus shirt. ............ Following the game, Yildiz spoke openly about his performance and the goal in question. Insisting that he scored three goals, not two, he said: “They say double, but I think it’s a hat-trick. I kicked the first goal, so I think the first one is mine too.” This statement reflects his strong conviction and personal assessment of the match. When asked if he expects to score a hat-trick officially in the near future, Yildiz responded optimistically, saying, “Yes, let’s hope so.” His positive attitude demonstrates his hunger for goals and confidence in his own ability to continue improving and delivering strong performances for Juventus. Regardless of the official goal tally, this match was yet another excellent display from Yildiz. His energy, movement, and goal-scoring instincts have been impressive, and he is quickly establishing himself as a key player for Juventus. The exact number of goals he is credited with is secondary to his overall impact on the team’s success. ............ .

Tudor hails Juventus star with ‘rare’ qualities, praises Locatelli’s gesture: “True leader” Two Juventus stars were on the receiving end of some empathic praise from their manager, Igor Tudor. The Bianconeri marched toward the Round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup after winning their second contest at the expense of Wydad CA. ............ Nevertheless, Tudor reveals that the heat was an impeding factor for his players, especially due to the early kickoff. Still, he lauded his men for maintaining their composure even when they had a healthy lead. “It was a slightly different match, also because of the time of day which lowered the pace of the game,” said the 46-year-old in his post-match interview. “The opponents had prepared well, but starting with an early goal helped us. In football, however, nothing is taken for granted, and I stay alert even with a two- or three-goal lead. The boys did well, two good wins in a row. “Tonight they will enjoy a free dinner, they have earned it. Now, attention turns to Manchester City, a great test awaits us.” ............ “Kenan has huge potential, he has rare qualities: he can make the difference up front with the dynamism of a midfielder. He’s a special talent, but it’s his mentality that will take him far. “Vlahovic approached today with the right attitude, and he played for the group. And Locatelli’s gesture of letting him take the penalty was a true leader’s gesture.” ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/tudor-rare-kenan-yildiz-locatelli-leader/

Juventus 4 - Wydad Casablanca 1: Initial reaction and random observations Juventus’ Club World Cup-opening victory over Al Ain this past Wednesday night was very much about the collective of the attacking trio sharing the goal scoring load. Four days later, it was not three players combining to score five goals and leading Juventus to victory. Instead, it was Juventus’ No. 10 playing the leading role at the home of the reigning Super Bowl champions. On a day when Kenan Yildiz scored a hat trick but only got credit for two of those goals, Juve’s young rising star from Turkiye was the go-to man time and time again. The two goals that he got credit for were two of the best goals we’ve seen a Juventus player score over the past 12 months, with his brace (and shoulda-been hat trick) leading the Bianconeri to a 4-1 win over Moroccan side Wydad Casablanca on a steamy Sunday afternoon in Philadelphia. It was Juventus’ second win by three or more goals in as many games to begin the Club World Cup, giving them a nice potential advantage of goal differential heading into next week’s group stage finale in Orlando assuming Manchester City doesn’t absolutely steamroll Al Ain even more than Juve did in their tournament opener. ............ It’s always going to be Yildiz. With so much else uncertain at the club, there is a 20-year-old star in the making who has become the biggest reason for hope ever since he made his senior team debut a year and a half ago. So much so you’ve already got memes popping up on the internet about how important he is to this team in this current moment — which, on top of being handed the No. 10 jersey while he was still 19 years old, probably isn’t too far form the truth. The thing is, Yildiz has shown he’s more than willing to deliver. He scored in his first-ever Club World Cup appearance. That is added to the list of scoring in his first Serie A start, in his first Champions League start, in his first Coppa Italia start and his first Supercoppa start. ............ His first goal, although still technically an own goal, was a nifty little finish, even if it did take a rather large deflection. His second goal was an banger if there ever was one, and the sole reason why I got a text from Sam a few weeks ago saying he was going to wait on his Best Goals of the Season list just in case we got something good from the Club World Cup. His third goal, although technically his second, was just so good because he see him pull the brakes on the man marking him, watches him go by, take another little touch to compose himself and then finish it easy. That’s just the growing repertoire of Yildiz on full display — and he’s showing that he can hurt you in so many different ways as a goal scorer. There of course will be those who said “Well, it’s just Wydad” just as they said “Well, it’s just Al Ain” a few days ago. That’s fine. But let’s not diminish what Yildiz has done to open this tournament no matter who Juventus’ first two opponents have been. It’s not like this Club World Cup group stage was ever going to see Juve play a big-name club every time they stepped onto the field, and facing Al Ain and Wydad in the first two fixtures allowed Yildiz and the entire team to try and get some serious momentum going heading into their meeting with Manchester City to close out the group stage. So here we are, through the first two group stage fixtures, and Juve’s got nine goals to their name and have a very good chance of finishing atop Group G with a positive result against City next week. ............ RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Seriously, though ... FIFA, just give Yildiz the hat trick! He celebrated like he thought he had it after what was technically his second goal. It should be his third. Let him enjoy it! ............ How hot was it in Philadelphia during Sunday’s game? Well, it took Yildiz less than a half to completely sweat through his jersey, with it almost looking see-through at the first-half cooling break. Also notable that Igor Tudor didn’t go with a suit for the second straight game in which very warm weather was present. Tudor instead went with his training kit fit — which, based on early returns, is a very nice look compared to some previous editions adidas has rolled out. ............ Juventus were also outshot by Wydad (15-9) and needed a couple of big Michele Di Gregorio saves to ensure that this wasn’t a 3-2 scoreline heading into the stretch run. This game also feature a combined 32 fouls. Not exactly one that had a good flow to it. ............ I think I feel safe in saying that Wydad are a better team than Al Ain, and not just because they actually scored a nice goal against Juventus. But it was definitely noticeable that the likes of Francisco Conceição, Alberto Costa and a few others weren’t as lively as they were a few days earlier. That being said, Khephren Thuram continues to be awesome and it sure is going to be fun watching him develop at Juventus. He just does so many things well and looks to be taking quite a liking to how Tudor wants him to play. The unfortunate thing about Yildiz’s first goal being called an own goal and that he doesn’t get to claim a hat trick is that we can’t say “Khephren Thuram, assist leader at the Club World Cup.” He’s now just one of a handful of players tied on two assists. ............ So now we get to see what Juventus can do against Man City with the top spot in Group G on the line on Thursday. That should be a pretty good measuring stick to see where both clubs are at right now. Hopefully it goes a little bit like the last time they played. I would totally be OK with something like that.

Grazie alla doppietta contro il Wydad, Kenan è diventato il secondo numero 10 a segnare una doppietta il 22 giugno in un Mondiale Fifa dopo Maradona che l'aveva realizzata nel 1986 contro l'Inghilterra.

Juventus player ratings v Wydad – One player stands out Michele di Gregorio – 7.0 He could do nothing about Wydad’s goal, but when called upon, he did well. Pierre Kalulu – 7.0 This was another mature and commanding performance from Kalulu, who made it difficult for Wydad to find the strikers. Nicolo Savona – 7.0 He is gradually becoming a key player for the club, and with performances like this, it is not difficult to see why. Lloyd Kelly – 7.5 This was another good performance from Kelly, who was smart on and off the ball as Juve dominated possession. Alberto Costa – 6.5 ............ Weston McKennie – 7.0 ............ Khephren Thuram – 7.5 He was Juventus’ best midfielder in the game. He picked the right passes and drove forward at the right time. Andrea Cambiaso – 7.0 Cambiaso had a good day at the office, even though he was not spectacular. Kenan Yildiz – 9.0 What a player he is. He scored twice and was the outstanding player on the pitch. He is growing in confidence and could well be among the players of the tournament. Randal Kolo Muani – 7.0 Although he did not score, it is easy to see why he starts matches instead of Vlahovic. Francisco Conceicao – 6.5 ............ Substitutes Teun Koopmeiners – 6.5 ............ Nicolas Gonzalez – 5.5 ............ Manuel Locatelli – 6.5 He came on and stabilised the midfield when some legs began to tire. Dusan Vlahovic – 7.0 He scored in the few minutes he played, albeit a penalty. Federico Gatti – N/A .

Juventus Player Ratings vs Wydad: Yildiz Show in Philadelphia Kenan Yildiz threw a spectacle at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, inspiring Juventus to a 4-1 win over Wydad. Igor Tudor’s charges took a giant step toward reaching the quarter-finals in their maiden FIFA Club World Cup appearance. Juventus had a dream start as Abdelmounaim Boutouil scored an own goal in the 6th minute to break the deadlock. Only ten minutes later, Kenan Yildiz doubled Bianconeri’s lead with a stunning long-range strike after receiving a pass from Andrea Cambiaso. However, Wydad pulled one back midway through the first half. Nordin Amrabat teed up Thembinkosi Lorch with an excellent through ball after a lethal counter-attack. The South African forward calmly slotted the ball past the helpless Michele Di Gregorio to restore drama. ............ Though the possession scales balanced after the break, there was still a feeling that Juventus were in complete control. Yet, chances were at a premium for the Turin giants before Yildiz notched up a brace on the stroke of the 70-minute mark. Second-half substitute Dusan Vlahovic put the cherry on top deep inside stoppage time to seal another dominant victory for the Serie A powerhouse. With six points from the first two Group G rounds, Tudor’s men have all but secured knockout qualification with a game to spare. ............ Juventus (3-4-3) Michele Di Gregorio – 8/10 Called into action more often than expected, the ex-Monza goalkeeper stood tall under pressure, making several key stops while showcasing sharp reflexes and solid positioning. Lloyd Kelly – 5/10 Arguably Juve’s poorest-performing defender! He was nowhere near Lorch for the goal. ............ Nicolo Savona – 8/10 Deployed more central this time, the Italian youngster held his ground against Samuel Obeng, making Wydad’s center-forward largely ineffective. Pierre Kalulu – 6/10 ............ Andrea Cambiaso – 7/10 ............ Khephren Thuram – 7/10 The Frenchman was the beating heart of Tudor’s midfield, pulling all the strings with composure, vision, and physical dominance. His athleticism and technical quality stood out this afternoon. Weston McKennie – 4/10 Juventus’ utility man didn’t have a game to remember. On the contrary, he was among the weakest on the field. ............ Alberto Costa – 3/10 The most threat Wydad had managed in the first half came down his flank as the young Portuguese couldn’t cope with Lorch’s pace. On top of that, he was far from convincing in attack. Kenan Yildiz – 10/10 Whenever Juventus needed someone to thread the needle against Wydad’s low block, they could count on the Turkish starlet. In addition to an outrageous strike, he must feel bitterness for seeing his 6th-minute strike classified as an own goal. However, he added another one in the second half to put the final nail in Wydad’s coffin. Francisco Conceicao – 6/10 ............ Randal Kolo Muani – 7/10 Despite failing to get on the board, the Paris Saint-Germain loanee was omnipresent in the build-up, often dropping deep to take part in link-up play. He registered a second-half assist for his trouble. Substitutes Teun Koopmeiners – 6/10 Nicolas Gonzalez – 5/10 Manuel Locatelli – 6/10 Dusan Vlahovic – 7/10 Federico Gatti – N/A .

Kenan Yildiz inspires Juventus to a Club World Cup win over Wydad Juventus continued their fine form at the Club World Cup with another commanding performance, securing a deserved 4-1 victory over Wydad in their second group match of the competition. The Bianconeri have made a habit of starting matches with intensity, and Wydad were the latest side to fall victim to their fast tempo. It took just six minutes for Juventus to open the scoring, with a dangerous move leading to an own goal by Abdelmounaim Boutouil. ............ Kenan Yildiz, who had impressed in the opening match, was involved again in the second goal. Though he had a hand in the opener, this time he left no doubt, finishing expertly to double Juve’s advantage after only 16 minutes. The attacking play from the Bianconeri was fluid, with passes zipped around the pitch confidently as they took full control of the contest. Despite Juve’s dominance, Wydad managed to pull a goal back just before the interval. Thembinkosi Lorch found the net against the run of play, surprising the Bianconeri and offering the Moroccan side a glimmer of hope. However, Juventus still held the lead going into the break and looked the more likely side to score again. ............ Juventus took longer to find the net after the restart, but they eventually added a third through Kenan Yildiz, whose performance once again highlighted his growing importance to the team. As Wydad struggled to cope with the pressure and possession play of their opponents, Juventus capped off the performance with a late goal from Dusan Vlahovic. The striker’s penalty wrapped up another dominant showing for the Bianconeri, who now look well placed to qualify for the knockout stages. Their next test will be against Manchester City, but with two convincing wins from two, Juventus are building momentum and showing real intent in the tournament. .
