Che azione del Sassuolo!

SASSUOLO - JUVENTUS April 28, 2014 - 8:45 PM Città del Tricolore Mapei Stadium — Reggio Emilia Referee:‬ Antonio Damato‎ HT 1-1: Sassuolo level with Juventus at break Apr 28, 2014 Juventus were forced to come from a goal down to go into the halfway stage of their Serie A clash with Sassuolo all square at 1-1 this evening. The hosts almost made a perfect start to the match when they went close to breaking the deadlock after just two minutes courtesy of a Nicola Sansone strike that went narrowly wide. They were ahead inside 10 minutes, however, as Simone Zaza latched on to a pass down the left channel before drilling a shot past Gianluigi Buffon, who should have done better at his near post. Juventus set about looking to find an equaliser and threatened midway through the half as Carlos Tevez put an effort just past the post from inside the area. Tevez was the creator for another chance moments later as he picked out Claudio Marchisio inside the area, but the midfielder was denied by a fine piece of defending. The visitors did get their equaliser 10 minutes before the break and it was the same two involved as Marchisio slipped the ball to Tevez, who fired his shot past the keeper from the edge of the box. Zaza had a glorious chance to restore his side's advantage with less than five minutes to go until half time when he was slipped through on goal, but Buffon stayed by to deny the striker a second. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

SASSUOLO - JUVENTUS April 28, 2014 - 8:45 PM Città del Tricolore Mapei Stadium — Reggio Emilia Referee:‬ Antonio Damato‎ HT 1-1: Sassuolo shock Juve Apr 28, 2014 Juventus-owned Simone Zaza scored Sassuolo’s shock opener, wiped out by Carlos Tevez as it’s 1-1 at the break. The Bianconeri rested Arturo Vidal, who has a knee problem, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Leonardo Bonucci ahead of Thursday’s Europa League semi-final with Benfica, but kept many of their star names in the starting XI. Sassuolo were also highly motivated, out of the relegation zone only thanks to their head-to-head record with Bologna. Top scorer Domenico Berardi was suspended along with Simone Missiroli and Davide Biondini, while Marius Alexe, Paolo Bianco, Thomas Manfredini and Francesco Acerbi were injured. The Neroverdi showed from the opening 90 seconds that they would push hard under heavy rain, as ex-Bayern Munich youth product Nicola Sansone flashed an angled drive across the face of goal to skim the far post. Sassuolo took a shock lead after nine minutes, as Sansone won back possession and threaded through for Simone Zaza, whose angled drive took a deflection off Angelo Ogbonna to wrong-foot Gigi Buffon at the near post. Zaza is co-owned by Juventus and this was the quickest goal of the season for the home team. Sansone dribbled past Giorgio Chiellini and Ogbonna, but the finish was wayward, as Sassuolo were playing at a visibly higher tempo than Juve. Chiellini knocked back from a set play for Carlos Tevez to drill just wide and Gianluca Pegolo smothered a Paul Pogba snapshot. The Bianconeri were increasing the pressure and their possession statistics until Tevez unleashed a screamer from the D to fly past Pegolo, though this also took a slight deflection off Alessandro Longhi. It was Apache’s 19th Serie A goal of the season and was sparked by a quickly-taken free kick. It was still wide open, though, as Zaza again dribbled through defenders down that left side of the box and this time his powerful finish stung Buffon’s palms at the near post.

Beh gioca contro la "sua" Juve e vuole farsi notare. Ci sta riuscendo molto bene stasera.

In effetti hanno Zaza e Berardi e sono comunque in zona retrocessione.

Ci stanno facendo rimpiangere Bonucci ....

Di nuovo Zaza ma Gigi respinge in angolo.

Dai ragazzi, questo é il Sassuolo mica il Benfica!

CARLOS TEVEZ 1-1

Zaza é fortissimo!

Ma dov'era il fallo a favore del Sassuolo?

I bolognesi staranno tremando in questo momento.

Tevez spara fuori di poco.

Erroraccio di Pirlo.

Molti errori. Il Sassuolo aspetta il contropiede.

Praticamente giochiamo in casa.

Goal del nostro Zaza.

Mi sembra di avere a che fare con dei bambini con 'ste gufate ridicole.

Sansone mi ha fatto pensare per un attimo al primo goal del Benfica della settimana scorsa.

Anche David Bowie!

SASSUOLO - JUVENTUS April 28, 2014 - 8:45 PM Città del Tricolore Mapei Stadium — Reggio Emilia Referee:‬ Antonio Damato‎ Marotta on Garcia and Pogba Apr 28, 2014 Juventus director Beppe Marotta denied Real Madrid interest in Paul Pogba and slammed Roma Coach Rudi Garcia. The general manager spoke to Sky Sport Italia ahead of tonight’s Serie A match with Sassuolo. He was naturally asked about Garcia’s comments suggesting smaller clubs did not give their all against Juve this season. “Garcia was inopportune. He shouldn’t try to discredit our League and the efforts all the other teams. “Tonight’s game is full of hidden dangers and we will face it with the utmost concentration. These are sides that on paper might seem simple, but can never be underestimated. “We are close to the finish line, but need that final push.” If the Bianconeri win tonight at Sassuolo, then they can mathematically secure the Scudetto next week against Atalanta. Marotta was also asked about reports in France Football that Real Madrid assistant manager Zinedine Zidane personally called Pogba to pitch the idea of joining him in Spain. “We don’t believe there was any such call with Zidane, nor any interest from Real Madrid. Would I exchange Pogba with Gareth Bale? They are two excellent players, but completely different. “We are fortunate to have Pogba, who is young and growing consistently, so we are happy to have him.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

SASSUOLO - JUVENTUS April 28, 2014 - 8:45 PM Città del Tricolore Mapei Stadium — Reggio Emilia Referee:‬ Antonio Damato‎ Zaza eager to impress Juve Apr 28, 2014 Sassuolo striker Simone Zaza assured he wants to “do well tonight against Juventus,” the club that co-owns him. “Everyone would love to play in a game like this, so we’re here and want to give it our best,” Zaza told Sky Sport Italia. “My future? Right now I am focused on securing safety with Sassuolo, while of course I’d like to do well tonight against Juventus, the team that co-owns my contract. “Juve are strong physically and technically, so we’ll need to be very physical tonight. We’ll see what happens.” Zaza isn’t the only Sassuolo player with Juventus links, as Reto Ziegler, Yussif Raman Chibsah, Lorenzo Ariaudo, Matteo Brighi and Luca Marrone are all either co-owned by or former figures of the Bianconeri. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111
