Yildiz, Locatelli and Thuram welcome new Juventus approach Kenan Yildiz and Manuel Locatelli feel new coach Igor Tudor brought ‘fresh energy’ to Juventus, while Khephren Thuram admits he laughed at his father Lilian’s advice. ............ There were already several changes this evening, from the 3-4-2-1 formation to picking Dusan Vlahovic and leaving Randal Kolo Muani on the bench throughout the 1-0 win over Genoa. It was decided by a Kenan Yildiz strike from the tightest of angles, but that move was sparked by Tudor acting as ball boy to get Teun Koopmeiners to take a quick throw-in, catching the defence by surprise. ............ “It was a good goal, one of my best, hopefully I can score normal goals too. We are happy now, we’re a good squad and worked hard,” Kenan Yildiz said. “I thank the coach, we did all we could with him. The new coach brought fresh energy.” ............ “We need to concentrate on the next games, we thank the old coach, he gave his all, now we must concentrate on winning the next matches to achieve our targets,” added Locatelli. “The new boss asked us to fight for the jersey. This is only one match, I think we’re a good squad with talented young players, we need to stay humble and keep fighting for this jersey.” ............ “Tudor is a great coach, he brings a lot of intensity, tells me to be aggressive off the ball and I like his approach,” smiled Khephren Thuram. “I don’t know what didn’t work, but we are Juventus and must always win. Now we are back to winning ways and that is important. ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/yildiz-locatelli-thuram-new-juventus-approach/

Player Ratings: Juventus 1-0 Genoa – Yildiz shines on Tudor’s debut ............ Juventus 1-0 Genoa Player Ratings Juventus: Di Gregorio 6; Gatti 6.5 (27′ Kalulu 6), Veiga 6, Kelly 5.5; Nico Gonzalez 6 (82′ Weah 5.5), Locatelli 6.5, Thuram 7, McKennie 6; Koopmeiners 5 (66′ F. Conceiçao 6), Yildiz 7; Vlahovic 6. Coach: Tudor 6.5. Best Juventus player: Yildiz 7 – Left behind by Thiago Motta in recent weeks, the Turkish talent scored a fantastic solo goal to give Juve all three points. On top of that, he provided two key passes and finished the game with 89% passing accuracy. Lowest Juventus rating: Koopmeiners 5 – Quite clearly, the Dutchman still lacks confidence. He played in a more advanced position than under Motta in recent weeks, but was still inconsistent in the final third. Only 75% passing accuracy, no big chances created. No surprise he was subbed off. Juventus coach: Tudor 6.5 – A winning debut was all he needed. The clean sheet is a plus, but Genoa didn’t do much to cause trouble for the Bianconeri. The ex-defender received a warm welcome before and during the match. The Croat even contributed to the Old Lady’s winner with a quick throw-in to spark Yildiz’s goal. Genoa: Leali 6; Sabelli 6, De Winter 5, Vasquez 6.5, Matturro 5.5; Masini 5.5, Frendrup 6, Onana 5 (70′ Malinovskyi 6); Zanoli 5.5 (63′ Venturino 6), Pinamonti 6.5 (70′ Ekuban 5.5), Miretti 5.5 (80′ Thorsby N/A). Coach: Vieira 5.5. ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/juventus-1-0-genoa-ratings-yildiz-tudor-debut/

Same old Juventus scrape a hard fought 1-0 win over Genoa It is far too early to judge Igor Tudor following Juventus’ hard-fought win over Genoa this evening. However, the players can certainly be assessed, and based on today’s performance, there appears to be little indication of any improvement compared to what has come before. ............ Yes, Juventus secured all three points, which is ultimately the most important outcome, and a top-four finish remains imperative. However, what is the point of qualifying for the Champions League if this is the level of performance that continues to be delivered? ............ There is little to analyse from the match itself—a win is a win. The players worked hard but lacked creativity, a recurring issue throughout the season. While they remained focused and managed to keep a clean sheet, there was little else to inspire confidence. ............ Next up is Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday, and Juventus will need to raise their game significantly if they hope to take all three points back to Turin. After yet another underwhelming performance, it is difficult to feel optimistic about their chances of securing victory in Rome next week. .

Serie A | Juventus 1-0 Genoa: Yildiz gives Tudor the perfect debut Igor Tudor had the ideal debut on the Juventus bench, as his quick thinking helped Kenan Yildiz score the decisive goal to beat Genoa 1-0. ............ Stefano Sabelli made a desperate goal-line clearance on the Kenan Yildiz diving header, but Vlahovic was offside when crossing after a strong run from Nico Gonzalez. ............ Juventus took the lead with help from Tudor, who acted as a ball boy and got a Koopmeiners throw-in taken quickly, Vlahovic knocked it on for Kenan Yildiz to dribble to the right by-line and fire into the far top corner from the tightest of angles with his right foot. Federico Gatti went off injured after an earlier Andrea Pinamonti knock to the back of the left ankle, while Vlahovic’s left-foot curler was smothered by Nicola Leali. ............ Alan Matturro cleared in a panic when Vlahovic flicked on a long Wes McKennie throw-in, while Leali got down to palm a Kalulu header away on a corner. ............ It should’ve been 2-0 with the last kick of the game when Khephren Thuram ran from his own half and rolled across for Tim Weah, but the finish was scuffed, allowing Leali to smother. Juventus 1-0 Genoa Kenan Yildiz 25 (J) . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/serie-a-juventus-1-0-genoa-yildiz-tudor-debut/

Ci mancava solo Malinovski

Conceicao in, Koopmeiners va a sedersi.

Bella questa

Tudor ammonito.

Da quanti giorni é arrivato Tudor? Pensavi che potesse fare miracoli?

Terzino sinistro. Combatte.

Ma l'arbitro indossa la terza maglia del Milan?

Gran gol di Kenan

KENAN YILDIZ 1-0

Entra Weah

Eppure gli olandesi non sono bravi a rugby. L'unico ce l'abbiamo noi.

Lilian Thuram vorrebbe prendere a schiaffi il figliolo

Leali farfallone giallo

Ha messo in campo quelli che sono in buone condizioni. Gli altri sono cotti ringraziando Motta. Concetto espresso da Tudor anche se con parole diverse.

Esce anche dall'area tecnica. Fra poco entra in campo come Inzaghi.

Dice di si

Discesa di Nico che sembrava Tevez contro il Parma di tanti anni fa.

Salvataggio in extremis del Genoa ma era fuorigioco

Un bell'uomo è John, perdonami, Igor sembra un comandante di quei battaglioni lì John Elkann?

Sono gemellati
