Tevez relieved after father's kidnap The striker's Dad was car-jacked by a group of men near Argentina's capital of Buenos Aires but is now back with his family. Jul 30, 2014 Carlos Tevez has confirmed his father is safe and well after his kidnapping ordeal and thanked fans for their messages of support. Segundo Tevez was reportedly carjacked by a group of men in Moron, west of Argentina's capital city of Buenos Aries, on Tuesday. Argentinian police stated that the men had made calls demanding a ransom, although Carlos Tevez's lawyer, Gustavo Galasso, later told television channel C5N the Juventus striker's father had been freed and was "in good shape". Carlos Tevez Tweeted: "I thank everyone for their support always. "I'm able to tell you my father is okay, safe and sound. That's what's most important. "I also thank.. Buenos Aires and federal and anti-kidnapping police [forces] for their support for my family." Tevez was reportedly set to fly back to his homeland on Tuesday, but is thought to have remained in Italy following news of his father's release.

Tevez: 'My father is safe' Jul 29, 2014 Juventus striker Carlos Tevez broke his silence on the kidnapping ordeal. “My father is well, healthy and safe.” Segundo Tevez was kidnapped this morning while driving his car and police confirmed a ransom was paid for his release after eight hours. “I thank everyone for their support,” wrote Tevez on his Twitter account. “My father is well, healthy and safe. That’s the most important thing! I also thank Daniel Scioli, Mauricio Macri and the Buenos Aires federal police anti-kidnapping department for supporting my family. “I ask you to come together and fight to take the country forward. Because here we should not pull for any political party, as we have to fight together. "With sadness I admit it will be easy to criticise my country, but with all its flaws and virtues it is the country I love." Tevez had been on his way to the airport for a flight to Buenos Aires when news came through his father had been released. The forward therefore remained in Turin, but won’t take part in tomorrow’s game against Cesena. Mauricio Macri and Daniel Scioli are the governors of Buenos Aires province and the city of Buenos Aires.

Carlos Tevez pays $400,000 ransom for kidnapped father Eight hours after being taken hostage in Argentina, Segundo Tevez was let go by his captors in exchange for the alleged six-figure payoff. Jul 29, 2014 Juventus star Carlos Tevez reportedly paid $400,000 for the release of his father from kidnappers in Argentina, where criminals frequently target high-profile athletes and their families in exchange for lucrative ransoms. Eight hours after being taken hostage in Moron, a suburb Buenos Aires, Segundo Tevez was let go by his captors at 2:00 p.m. local time Tuesday, Ole of Argentina reported. The release was announced by the family's lawyer. "He is doing well," attorney Gustavo Galass said in a brief statement to the media. Argentina's secretary of homeland security, Sergio Berni, confirmed that Tevez suffered an "extortive kidnapping" while vowing to bring those responsible to justice. "We will search for them under every bed if necessary and we'll find them" Tevez left the Juventus preseason camp in Italy and is flying to Argentina to be with his father, who is actually a maternal uncle who legally adopted him years ago. The kidnappers were reportedly seeking a quick payout before discovering their hostage's identity, which led to hours of negotiations and demands before the $400,000 ransom was agreed upon. Tevez's lawyer provided no details about an alleged payment. Tevez is the latest Argentine soccer star to pay off kidnappers in exchange for a family member’s freedom. Fellow former Boca Juniors idol Juan Roman Riquelme was forced to negotiate the release of his brother from captors in 2002. That same year, siblings Diego and Gabriel Milito spent $100,000 for the return of their father, who was kidnapped a block away from his house.

Allegri's Juventus XI in Cesena Jul 29, 2014 Juventus have already named their starting XI against Cesena tomorrow, including Andrea Pirlo and Stephan Lichtsteiner. The Bianconeri will play the newly-promoted side at the Stadio Dino Manuzzi on Wednesday evening. Coach Massimiliano Allegri has released his initial line-up for the pre-season friendly. Carlos Tevez is not included, as he is on leave following the kidnap and release of his father in Argentina. Gigi Buffon has also been left behind, apparently due to injury, so Marco Storari and Sebastian Giovinco start. This is the second game under Allegri, the other being a shock 3-2 defeat to amateur side Lucento. New signing Roberto Pereyra will start after his move from Udinese, while Allegri continues to test the four-man defence. Many will be curious to see where the Coach places Pirlo, as a discussion over his position prompted the midfielder to quit Milan when Allegri was in charge. Juventus: Storari, Sorensen, Bonucci, Chiellini, Lichtsteiner, Padoin, Pirlo, Pereyra, Motta, Giovinco, Llorente

Tevez in Turin after kidnap Jul 29, 2014 Carlos Tevez has returned to Turin after his father was freed by kidnappers in Argentina, but won’t play Cesena-Juventus. The striker had reportedly been rushing to an airport for the first flight to Buenos Aires when news emerged his father had been kidnapped this morning. However, Segundo Tevez (and not the previously reported name Juan Carlos Cabral) is now with local police – it’s not clear whether a ransom was paid. Juventus have left Tevez out of their squad for tomorrow’s friendly in Cesena, citing “family reasons.” However, the forward is staying in Turin after all.

Tevez’s father freed after kidnap The Juventus striker’s father has been released by criminals after being held for a ransom for over eight hours. Jul 29, 2014 According to reports in Argentina, Carlos Tevez’s father has been freed after being kidnapped and held for ransom for over eight hours. The incident happened in the outskirts of the capital city Buenos Aires at around 7am when Juan Alberto Cabral’s car was hijacked, Argentina newspaper La Nacion has reported. The offenders contacted Tevez’s family and made an initial demand that was much lower than a second request for ransom a short while later. Police investigated the incident and Tevez travelled to his home country to help deal with the matter.

Tevez father released Jul 29, 2014 There are reports from Argentina that Carlos Tevez’s father has been released by kidnappers. Segundo Tevez was kidnapped this morning when he was driving in the Morón area and that two calls have been received asking for a ransom. Clarin now claim he has already been released and is now with local police. It is speculated the first request was relatively low and the second much higher, as the kidnappers had not realised their victim was the father of one of Argentina’s most famous football players. Italian media maintain Tevez has already left the Juventus training camp in Turin and is flying to Buenos Aires today.

Tevez father kidnapped Jul 29, 2014 Argentine newspaper Clarin claims the father of Juventus star Carlos Tevez has been kidnapped. It is reported Segundo Tevez was carjacked at 5am this morning in Morón and that two calls have been received asking for a ransom. Some sources suggest a ransom has already been paid to the captors. It is speculated the first request was relatively low and the second much higher, as the kidnappers had not realised their victim was the father of one of Argentina’s most famous football players. This would suggest it was not a targeted attack, but rather they had spotted the expensive car and made their move. Italian media now maintain Tevez has already left the Juventus training camp in Turin and is flying to Buenos Aires today.

Allegri: 'Vidal is fundamental' Jul 29, 2014 Max Allegri assured Arturo Vidal is “a fundamental player” for Juventus and expects better against Cesena. The new Coach lost his first game since replacing Antonio Conte, falling 3-2 to amateur side Lucento, and takes on newly-promoted Serie A team Cesena on Wednesday. “That defeat with Lucento hit the headlines, but tomorrow is a completely different game,” insisted Allegri in his Press conference. “Our training only began on Monday morning and we haven’t yet reached an acceptable fitness level. “All the players will come to Cesena, even the internationals. I have at my disposal a group of players who immediately realised how to optimise the time at our disposal.” There are numerous stories circulating, particularly in Chile, that Vidal is ready to join Manchester United for €60m (approximately £48m). “I spoke to Vidal to understand his fitness levels. He is motivated, so club and Coach are very happy he will remain in Turin. “He had surgery just 32 days before the World Cup, so will train on a special schedule for a few days. Vidal is fundamental for Juventus and not just in practical terms and he wants to stay.” The Serie A fixture list pits Allegri against his old club Milan at San Siro just three rounds into the new season. “It will be intriguing, also because it’s a challenge between two teams who want the Scudetto. It’s going to be a difficult season, so for me and the lads it would be important to win. “I come back to San Siro as an opponent, having spent three and a half exciting years there. Last year Milan were very unlucky, but they and Inter will be back in the Scudetto race.” The internationals only arrived from their post-World Cup vacations on Monday, including Andrea Pirlo, who left Milan because he was not in Allegri’s plans. “I saw them motivated. I am new to this environment was catapulted into it from one day to the next, so I’m still trying to get a handle on everything. We’ve only got a month to achieve that. “Pirlo? We already spoke 10 days ago. We are professionals.”

Marotta: We will not sell Vidal unless he asks to leave Manchester United look set to miss out on a key target as the Juventus director insists they intend to keep hold of the €54 million-rated Chile international midfielder. Jul 28, 2014 Juventus CEO Guiseppe Marotta is adamant that Arturo Vidal will not be sold as long as the Chilean is happy in Turin. The 27-year-old has been one of Manchester United's top targets this summer, with a €54 million bid being prepared, and Goal understands that Vidal met with his agent and senior officials on Sunday evening to discuss the possibility of a transfer to Old Trafford. However, after Vidal stated that he is "not going to Manchester" on Thursday, the move looks even more unlikely following Marotta's comments. Marotta told Sky Italia: "We have clear ideas. We renewed [Vidal's] contract a few months ago just because we knew we could count on an important element. "We don't want to sell Vidal, there are only rumours because he is a player among the best in the world. We never activated a clause to try to sell him - if he doesn't show an intention to leave, our position won't change." United had hoped to tempt the goalscoring midfielder into a move to the Premier League by offering a wage package of €316,000 per week and had made the Chile international one of their key targets this summer as Louis van Gaal's overhaul begins to take shape. Despite United's interest, though, Vidal looks almost certain to remain with the Scudetto holders.

Manchester United target Vidal will stay at Juventus - Allegri The Bianconeri's new coach has insisted the player is happy to remain in Turin after returning for pre-season training and also denied having any problems with Andrea Pirlo. Jul 29, 2014 Massimiliano Allegri has insisted Arturo Vidal will remain at Juventus amid interest from Manchester United. Bianconeri chief executive Guiseppe Marotta stated on Monday that the Chile international would only be sold is he expressed a desire to leave Turin but the midfielder insisted last week he is not going to Old Trafford. Goal understands Vidal met with his agent and senior officials on Sunday evening to discuss the possibility of a transfer to Old Trafford but Allegri has ruled out a move following a training session on Tuesday. "Arturo is staying," the Juve coach told reporters. "He is very happy to remain here, like all of his team-mates. "I have also spoken with him to check his physical condition. We are very happy that he's staying with us; he's fundamental for us." Meanwhile, ever since Allegri was confirmed as the surprise successor to previous coach Antonio Conte, it has been speculated that the new boss could have problems with playmaker Andrea Pirlo. The pair worked together at AC Milan and have conflicting views on the reasons behind the midfielder's free transfer from San Siro to Turin three years ago. However, Allegri claims that there is no residual animosity between the pair, insisting that they are united in their desire to see Juve crowned champions of Europe. "We spoke 10 days ago," the 46-year-old revealed. "We are professionals. "There's a mutual respect between us and we have a common goal in wanting to have a great Champions League campaign. Europe has a particular fascination for us." Allegri, of course, was sacked by Milan in January of this year and he has been handed a rapid return to San Siro by the newly-published Serie A fixture list for the 2014-15 season. However, he insists that he has no fears about going back to the Giuseppe Meazza in week three. "It will be a special evening for us and I will have many emotions," he confessed. "But now, for me, the Rossoneri are only another opponent."

Allegri handed early return to AC Milan with Juventus The 54-year-old coach, who was sacked by the Rossoneri in January, will take the reigning Italian champions to the Giuseppe Meazza in week three. Jul 28, 2014 Former AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri has been handed a rapid return to San Siro with new club Juventus by the 2014-15 Serie A fixture list. The 46-year-old trainer was sacked by the Rossoneri in January and replaced at the helm by Clarence Seedorf, who has since made way for Pippo Inzaghi. Allegri was then handed the reins at Juventus following the shock resignation of Antonio Conte, who had led the Old Lady to three successive Serie A titles since taking charge in the summer of 2011. The former Cagliari coach will begin his league campaign with the Bianconeri away to Chievo when the new Italian season gets underway on the last weekend in August. Allegri will oversee his first home game against Udinese a fortnight later before returning to the Giuseppe Meazza for Juve's clash with Milan on the weekend of September 21. As for Inzaghi's men, who have been struggling in pre-season, they will kick off their campaign against Lazio at San Siro. Elsewhere, Inter will begin with a tricky trip to Torino, while last season's runners-up, Roma, also have a difficult opener, against Fiorentina. Napoli, who finished third last term, will start their second season under the leadership of Rafael Benitez against Genoa. Looking further ahead, the first Milan derby takes place in week 12, in November, while the first Derby d'Italia between Juventus and Inter is provisionally scheduled for Turin on January 6, seven days before city rivals Roma and Lazio lock horns at the Stadio Olimpico.
