Socrates

I vertici della Juve vogliono un ridimensionamento?

Ma sei ancora qui?

Una lentezza di manovra impressionante. Non la vogliono vincere. Il pari va bene ad entrambe a quanto pare.

Avrá preso qualcosa di eccitante per essere cosí "carico"? Cappitto mi hai?

Vedi cosa succede, Cairo, a sparare porcate sui derby rubati? Vanoli si é lamentato fin dall'inizio come un invasato.

Hanno perso la testa

Ma gli allenatori si picchiano?

Ma non stava aspettando la panchina della nazionale francese? Deschamps ha anche annunciato la sua partenza.

É vera sta storia di Zidane alla Juve?

L'hanno pareggiata

Urbano, ti stiamo rubando anche questo derby?

Kenan, la bestia nera di Vanja ..... Gol anche all'andata

Perché gioca piú vicino alla porta?

KENAN YILDIZ 0-1

Pavan insists Juventus can have no excuses today they must win Massimo Pavan has made it clear that Juventus cannot afford any excuses if they fail to beat Torino in the derby today. After a difficult start to 2025, this match presents the Bianconeri with an opportunity to bounce back from their disappointing loss to AC Milan. ............ Pavan said, “I’m sorry about the situation but today there are no more excuses, just win. This applies to everyone, from players to staff and coach. I think of Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz, they should be the flagship and they haven’t shown their value yet, today they have to do it, there are no other ways, other games. The team has had time to rest, a week, now they need a signal. Unfortunately, the bench is not like Juve, three players plus Rouhi and Adzic are not enough. Today if we draw it is like having lost, I would pay for a decisive goal by Koopmeiners.” His words underline the high stakes of the game. A draw, in his view, would be as disappointing as a loss. The expectation is clear: Juventus must secure all three points. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/pavan-insists-juventus-can-have-no-excuses-today-they-must-win/

Motta is trying Kenan Yildiz in a new role as injuries ravage Juventus Juventus could be without some key players when they face Torino in Serie A this weekend, making the game even more crucial for the Old Lady. The Bianconeri will need a strong tactical approach from Thiago Motta to defeat their city rivals and keep their ambitions alive in the league. With the pressure mounting, the last thing Juventus needs right now is to lose any of their key players, and unfortunately, they will be without Francisco Conceicao and Dusan Vlahovic for the upcoming match. ............ The Bianconeri have been trialling Kenan Yildiz in the attacking role that Conceicao usually occupies during training sessions. Motta is reportedly confident in the young talent’s abilities, believing that Yildiz can step up and fill the void left by Conceicao’s injury. When Conceicao pulled out of the Super Cup semi-final after injuring himself in the warm-up, it was Yildiz who was called upon to replace him in the team. This could be the case again when Juventus face Torino this weekend. While the loss of Conceicao is a blow to the team, Yildiz has shown glimpses of his potential and could very well prove himself capable of performing well for Juve. ............ .

Torino vs Juventus: Preview and Prediction The 183rd Turin Derby is on the horizon, and Juventus will aim to keep their unbeaten run going in Serie A this season when they visit neighbours Torino. Torino will have to dig deep to know when they last beat Juventus in Serie A, as it will take them back to April 2015, when goals from Matteo Darmian and Fabio Quagliarella proved enough for all three points. That win was also the only one in their last 36 games against the Bianconeri, and they have lost 27 in that run. Beating Juventus has become a distant dream for most of the Torino supporters, although the home crowd will once again be behind their team to make it happen. ............ Thiago Motta will be wary of the narrative building around his team in the background and arrest their most recent slump in form. Juventus are steadily heading out of the title race despite being unbeaten in Serie A this season, as they have had an incredible eleven draws this season. At the same time, their seven wins are about half of what league leaders Atantala have. Those dropped points have killed off an early promise in the season, with Motta seeking answers for this kind of results. Before Juventus headed off to Saudi Arabia for the Supercoppa Italiana, they managed to draw another game against current top-four rivals Fiorentina, which potentially halted a run of two consecutive victories in all competitions. ............ Team News & Tactics Torino ............ Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Milinkovic-Savic; Vojvoda, Maripan, Coco; Lazaro, Ricci, Ilic, Sosa; Karamoh, Vlasic; Adams Juventus Thiago Motta will be sweating over the fitness of key attackers like Dusan Vlahovic and Francisco Conceicao, although the former is still expected to feature. The duo have been training individually, although the Serb’s problem is not considered serious at this time and will feature. Juventus do have long-term absentees in Juan Cabal, Arkadiusz Milik and Gleison Bremer. Key midfielder Manuel Locatelli is suspended for this derby, meaning Premier League-linked Douglas Luiz might get a rare start alongside Khephren Thuram in Juventus’s midfield. Kenan Yildiz could make way for Samuel Mbangula on the left wing, while the Turkish international could potentially move to the right to cover for Conceicao. Teun Koopmeiners will reprise the attacking midfield role in support of Vlahovic up front. Danilo remains out of the current project and is expected to depart sooner rather than later, meaning Nicolo Savona and Weston McKennie are expected in the full-back positions. Pierre Kalulu and Federico Gatti are the starting central defenders for Motta at the moment. Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Savona, Gatti, Kalulu, McKennie; Luiz, Thuram; Yildiz, Koopmeiners, Mbangula; Vlahovic Key Stats Torino have been winless against Juventus since April 2015. Torino have lost 27 of their last 36 appearances against Juventus in the League. Juventus are undefeated in their last 26 matches in Serie A. Juventus have drawn 11 games this season in the Serie A. Player to Watch Douglas Luiz The absence of Manuel Locatelli with a suspension does open the doors for Luiz to make an impact and show his levels to Thiago Motta. In the last few days, talks of a return to the Premier League has gained momentum with the Brazilian midfielder, and the manager might give him a chance to show what he’s capable of. Meanwhile, Juventus need inspiration from somewhere to steer the side to winning games, and Motta will be tired of draws this season. Whether Luiz can be that player to help balance this side’s attack and defence, to help them gain a valuable win remains to be seen, although this derby is a big opportunity for the Brazilian to show what he can do. Prediction Torino 0-2 Juventus Torino are in for another important derby, although this time, they will hope to make an impact in the most positive way possible and will certainly dream of a first win in nearly a decade. However, their form is not in a favourable run, meaning this could be another long night for the home fans to endure. As per our prediction, this game could be a repeat of the reverse fixture this season when Juventus ended up as 2-0 winners. They certainly have an edge in quality and will use that against their neighbours to end their slump of drawing games and get back in the mix at the very top. .

Torino v Juventus: Match Preview The Olimpico Grande Torino is set to host one of Italian football’s most storied rivalries as Torino welcome Juventus for the 183rd Derby della Mole this Saturday evening. This fixture, steeped in history and passion, promises to be a captivating encounter between two sides with contrasting fortunes and ambitions. ............ Juventus’ dominance in this fixture is undeniable. They are currently enjoying a 21-game unbeaten streak against their city rivals, including a 19-match unbeaten run at home. The reverse fixture earlier this season saw Juventus secure a comfortable 2-0 victory, with Timothy Weah and Kenan Yildiz finding the net. ............ Torino’s record against Juventus this century makes for grim reading. With just one victory in their last 36 encounters, dating back to April 2015, the odds are stacked heavily against them. Their home form this season has been particularly concerning, with only two victories at the Olimpico Grande Torino. Juventus will likely approach this match with their trademark defensive solidity, looking to frustrate Torino’s already struggling attack. The absence of Manuel Locatelli could see a reshuffle in midfield, with Adrien Rabiot potentially taking on a more defensive role. ............ Team News Both teams face significant injury challenges. Juventus will be without the suspended Manuel Locatelli and are monitoring the fitness of Dusan Vlahovic and Francisco Conceicao, who have been training individually. Long-term absentees like Arkadiusz Milik and Bremer continue to be sidelined. ............ Expected Starting XIs Torino: Milinkovic-Savic; Vojvoda, Maripan, Coco; Lazaro, Ricci, Linetty, Sosa; Vlasic, Karamoh; Adams Juventus: Di Gregorio; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, McKennie; Thuram, Koopmeiners; Yildiz, Gonzalez, Mbangula; Vlahovic Match Prediction Given Juventus’ historical dominance in this fixture and Torino’s current goal-scoring woes, the Bianconeri enter as clear favorites. Expect a tightly contested affair with Juventus’ superior quality ultimately making the difference. A narrow 1-0 victory for the visitors seems the most likely outcome, further extending their impressive derby record and piling more pressure on their struggling city rivals. Prediction: Torino 0-1 Juventus . Read more -> https://www.footitalia.com/serie-a-torino-v-juventus-match-preview/

Motta insists Juventus teammates determine who their dressing room leaders are Juventus is currently facing a leadership vacuum following the club’s decision to part ways with Danilo, who has been a pivotal figure in the squad for several seasons, including this current campaign. As the team’s captain, Danilo has been an influential presence both on and off the pitch, but with the Bianconeri declaring him surplus to requirements this month, he must now seek a new club. This leaves Juventus in need of a new leader, with many speculating that Manuel Locatelli is the frontrunner to take on the responsibility of captaincy. In light of the leadership change, Juventus manager Thiago Motta was asked about his role in choosing the team’s leaders. The former midfielder made it clear that the responsibility of identifying and recognising leaders within the squad lies not with the manager, but with the players themselves. ............ Motta explained: “The coach has an influence, but being a leader in a locker room… The recognition doesn’t come from the coach but from each other. Today we have many leaders and space for others to emerge. The recognition they must obtain is from their teammates; that’s what counts.” This insight highlights the importance of internal dynamics within the team, where leadership is earned through the respect of fellow players, rather than being imposed from above. ............ .

Motta admits beating Torino is special and they want that Thiago Motta has spoken ahead of his team’s upcoming match against Torino this weekend, acknowledging that it is a special game that Juventus are eager to win. After being eliminated from the Super Cup at the semi-final stage, Juventus is determined to get back to winning ways. The Bianconeri have been plagued by inconsistent form this season, with more draws than wins, leaving their fans frustrated. With aspirations of challenging for significant trophies this season, Juventus knows they must improve in 2025, particularly if they are to secure a spot in the top four. Despite their struggles, Torino also finds themselves in a difficult position, making this derby even more unpredictable. ............ Motta, who is focused on leading his team to victory, has made it clear that they are approaching the match with the intention of winning. He said: “As always, it’s a complicated match, as we saw in the first leg. It’s a special game for us, our fans, and the club. We can’t wait to get on the field; it’s a match we want to win.” Motta’s words reflect the significance of this encounter, not just in terms of securing three points, but in restoring confidence and pride to a team that has been struggling this season. While Torino will undoubtedly present a tough challenge, Juventus is determined to perform better and secure a much-needed victory. ............ .

La storia del derby della mole

Kolo Muani Says Yes! Giuntoli-PSG Seek Agreement In a significant development for Juventus’ transfer strategy, French striker Randal Kolo Muani has reportedly given his approval for a move to Turin. The 26-year-old forward, currently at odds with Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique, has emerged as a top target for the Bianconeri in their quest to bolster their attacking options. Juventus’ interest in Kolo Muani extends beyond a short-term solution, with the club eyeing a potential long-term acquisition. The Italian giants are exploring a six-month loan deal with PSG, which could pave the way for a more permanent arrangement in the future. The move has garnered enthusiasm from both Juventus’ technical director Cristiano Giuntoli and head coach Thiago Motta. ............ Kolo Muani’s current contract with PSG, which saw him join for nearly €100 million from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023, includes a substantial salary. Juventus and PSG will need to negotiate the terms of the loan, including potential wage contributions from the Parisian club. ............ .
