Allegri insists his team does not need any changes
There have been numerous suggestions that Max Allegri needs to make changes to the Juventus system for the team to regain its form in the coming weeks. The current period represents Juventus’s worst run of form since the beginning of the season, with difficulties in securing victories over the past few weeks. ............
While there are expectations for Allegri to consider adjustments to the playing personnel or formation, the Bianconeri manager insists that his team does not require significant changes.
Asked if he will play with four at the back, Allegri said:
“No also because we always defend at 4 and we don’t have to change anything.” ............

Juventus vs Frosinone Calcio: Preview and Prediction
Juventus will aim to get their Serie A title challenge back on track when they take on Frosinone Calcio on Saturday.
Having picked up just two points from their last four Serie A matches, Juventus will welcome minnows Frosinone Calcio to the Allianz Stadium in a bid to get back to winning ways.
The visitors are not in great form themselves, having lost three league games on the spin. They are just three points off the drop zone and will be keen to end their poor run as soon as possible.
Frosinone have the third-worst goal difference in the league, something that could prove decisive given how close the teams are to each other in the lower half of the table. On paper, Juventus are the clear favourites going into the game. but Frosinone can take heart from the fact that the Bianconeri could only draw against 18th-placed Hellas Verona last weekend.
Juventus are nine points off Inter Milan at the top of the summit, having played a game more. Any further slip-ups will more or less end their chances of securing a first Scudetto in four years.
Both teams have faced off twice this season, once in the league and one in the Coppa Italia. Juventus won 2-1 in the reverse fixture at the Stadio Benito Stirpe, while also securing a 4-0 win in the Coppa Italia clash in Turin. They will now fancy a third triumph as they aim to get the league campaign back on track. ............
Team News & Tactics
Juventus
Juventus won a ninth straight Scudetto in 2020 but have since seen Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Napoli finish on top. The title race this season appeared to be between the Bianconeri and Inter Milan, but the former has fallen by the wayside in recent weeks.
A poor run of just two points from four games has seen Inter Milan open up a significant chasm at the summit of Serie A. Juventus will need to be near perfect for the remainder of the campaign to be in a position to take advantage of any of the Nerazzurri’s slip-ups.
Star centre-back Gleison Bremer will return after a one game suspension, while Danilo is out with an ankle injury. He joins the injured trio of Moise Kean, Mattia Perin, and Mattia De Sciglio, who are all sidelines for the game.
Massimiliano Allegri is likely to form up his side in a 3-5-2 formation, with Wojciech Szczesny in goal. He should be protected by the back-three of Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer, and Alex Sandro. Andrea Cambiaso and Filip Kostic should act as the wing-backs providing width on the night.
Manuel Locatelli should act as the midfield anchor, with Adrien Rabiot and Weston McKennie making up numbers in the middle of the park. Dusan Vlahovic should start upfront alongside Kenan Yıldız. Federico Chiesa and Arkadiusz Milik should offer options off the bench if needed.
Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Sandro; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Yildiz, Vlahovic
Frosinone Calcio
Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Turati; Zortea, Monterisi, Okoli, Valeri; Mazzitelli, Barrenechea, Brescianini; Soule, Jorge, Harroui
Key Stats
- Frosinone Calcio have never beaten Juventus in the Serie A.
- Frosinone Calcio have lost all the games played against teams in the Serie A top two that particular matchday.
- Failure to win on the night will see Juventus go five league games without a win for just the second time in the last 14 years.
- Since December, Frosinone have conceded 31 goals in Serie A this season, more than nay other side this campaign.
- Since December, Frosinone have lost nine games in Serie A this season, the joint-most for any side in the Italian top flight.
Player to Watch
Dusan Vlahovic
............ Vlahovic has eight goals and one assist in his last eight Serie A starts and is a man in form. He scored last time out against Hellas Verona and will be keen to keep that run going.
Prediction
Juventus 2-0 Frosinone Calcio
Juventus and Frosinone are going through a rut and will be keen to return to winning ways. Given the difference in quality between both the teams, Juventus are the heavy favourites for the match-up.
Frosinone defeated Napoli earlier this season, showing their ability to pull off a shock. However, Juventus are a far tougher opposition with a point to prove.

Pundit warns Juventus about underestimating Frosinone
Juventus is set to face Frosinone in their upcoming Serie A game this weekend, and a cautionary note has been sounded against underestimating their opponents.
Having been promoted this season, Frosinone’s primary objective is to secure their place in the Italian top flight for the next season. Juventus currently has some players on loan at Frosinone, with standout performances, particularly from Matias Soule, contributing to a successful season for the club. ............
Pundit Stefano Impallomeni has issued a warning to Juventus, urging them not to underestimate the Frosinone team in the upcoming fixture.
He said:
“Certainly putting the three strikers on the field is a card that the Juventus coach could compete, but at the same time, he will have to pay attention to the balance. It is absolutely forbidden for Juventus to underestimate Frosinone, a team that often plays well and creates a lot, they can play a great match. A change of formation by Allegri In any case, I expect it, we’ll see what happens on Sunday.” ............

Preview: Juventus vs. Frosinone
Juve have picked up just two points from their last four Serie A matches, while the visitors lost a third straight game last week and are leaking goals left, right and centre.
Match preview
Trying to get back on track after two defeats and a draw, Juventus visited lowly Hellas Verona last weekend, when they had to respond twice after going behind at Stadio Bentegodi.
In-form Dusan Vlahovic scored from the spot, before Adrien Rabiot celebrated his 199th game for the club by levelling matters again shortly after the break - but there was to be more frustration for fans of the Bianconeri, who witnessed a disappointing 2-2 draw.
Only a subsequent slip-up by AC Milan saw Juve keep their grip on second place, and Inter Milan have moved further clear at the Serie A summit, so an overdue title challenge has slipped a little further from reach.
After putting together a series of five straight league wins - in addition to beating Frosinone in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals - Max Allegri's men have since failed to win any of their last four, including defeats to Inter and Udinese.
With Napoli and Atalanta BC next up - and a league-and-cup double-header with Lazio soon to follow - Juventus cannot continue in such a vein if they are to salvage something from a previously promising season.
Regardless of recent form, they will still expect to prevail in Sunday's lunchtime kickoff, having won their last four league meetings with Frosinone by an aggregate score of 9-1.
Not only is their record against Juve particularly bad, but Frosinone have also lost all nine previous games played against teams in Serie A's top two, scoring just once and conceding 25 times in the process.
On this occasion, Eusebio Di Francesco's squad - which features several promising players borrowed from bigger clubs, such as Juventus-owned trio Matias Soule, Enzo Barrenechea and Kaio Jorge - will arrive at the Allianz Stadium aiming to end that trend and put a halt to their slide down the standings. ............
Team News
While Brazilian defender Bremer returns from a one-match ban, his compatriot Danilo is now out of action for Juventus due to an ankle injury, so either Daniele Rugani or Alex Sandro should feature in the hosts' back three.
Moise Kean, Mattia De Sciglio and Mattia Perin are still sidelined - all three may not be back until next month - but Max Allegri can name an otherwise unchanged XI if he so wishes.
Partnering either Federico Chiesa or Kenan Yildiz up front, Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic is Serie A's top marksman in 2024 - his seven strikes are already just three fewer than he managed throughout all of 2023. ............
Juventus possible starting lineup:
Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Sandro; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Yildiz, VlahovicFrosinone possible starting lineup:
Turati; Zortea, Monterisi, Okoli, Valeri; Mazzitelli, Barrenechea, Brescianini; Soule, Jorge, Harroui ............We say: Juventus 3-1 Frosinone
After an unexpected delay, Max Allegri could finally become the first coach in Serie A history to top 1000 points. Currently on 999, his Juventus side have stumbled in recent weeks, but the off-colour Canarini could prove perfect opponents.

Juventus vs. Frosinone match preview: Time, TV schedule, and how to watch the Serie A
Max Allegri’s squad has one last chance to get a win in February. And it just so happens to come against a team that they’ve already beaten twice this season.
The good news as Juventus heads into Sunday’s lunchtime kickoff against
Juventus BFrosinone is that the slate of fixtures in the month of February will be over in another 90 or so minutes of game time.The bad news is what’s happened over these first three weeks of February.
By now, we all know the numbers that have been the end result of this suddenly terrible run of form — winless in four games, two points out of a possible 12 during that span, now nine points behind league leaders Inter Milan and just two points ahead of AC Milan in third place. Juventus’ first game of the month was a Derby d’Italia in which they could have jumped up into first place. But now, all of 20 days later, they head into another meeting with a relegation battler that’s sitting just outside the drop zone with the scope of this season having drastically changed.
And unlike last season when they had points snatched away from them by the FIGC, dropping so many points in such a short period of time is their own doing this time around. ............
In three of Juventus’ last four games, the opponents were ones like Juventus will be facing at Allianz Stadium on Sunday afternoon — at or near the bottom of the table and in pretty rough form. In those three games, Juventus did the following: draw against Empoli, loss to Udinese and, most recently, draw against Hellas Verona. On paper, these should have been games in which Juventus won and maybe even with a little bit of breathing room considering what they did against those same types of opponents just one month earlier in January. But nope, that’s not what happened, and a title race became anything but that. ............
And there’s also this simple fact: Sunday’s game against Frosinone will be one of the final matchups against a club that’s in the bottom half of the table. While the first two months of 2024 has been filled with relegation battlers and teams with double-digit table positions, the same can’t be said about Juventus’ schedule in March, April and May. There’s still top four battlers galore, with Milan, Atalanta, Fiorentina, Lazio and Roma still waiting for their second crack at Max Allegri’s squad this season. ............
Frosinone have only continued their struggles since Juve saw them two months ago right before Christmas. Starting with that 2-1 Juve win at the Benito Stripe, Frosinone have lost eight out of 10 games in all competitions, including a 4-0 beatdown from the Bianconeri in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals. They’ve allowed the most goals (18) over the last six games in the league. Over that same span, they’ve been outscored 18-7. ............
TEAM NEWS
- ............ Allegri said Juve have two main goals for the rest of the season: “Qualification for the Champions League and trying to win the Coppa Italia.”
- So how do you do that, Max? “We have to stay calm and focused and think about the months ahead,” he said.
- When it comes to January signee Carlos Alcaraz making his first start in a Juventus shirt, Allegri said “he could play tomorrow although I have not yet decided whether from the start or not.”
- Allegri said he wants to get back to winning. Same goes for us, Max.
JUVENTUS PLAYER TO WATCH
Something needs to change. Something, anything.
And while Allegri himself said there isn’t going to be any kind of drastic changes when it comes to his lineup, the Italian press is speculating that there could at least be one new name to jump into the fray against Frosinone.
So, with that, we say this: Hey, Charly!
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25293632/2018267545.jpg)
............ Alcaraz still has less than 30 minutes to his name in a Juventus jersey. His second appearance saw him play more than a couple of minutes, so that’s a start. It’s still far from what you would call an acceptable amount of time to actually form a first, genuine opinion on what kind of player he is as he settles in at Juventus, but it’s a start. ............
Alcaraz is the unknown. And that is why he’s interesting. He’s young and he’s talented, that is also why he’s interesting. We know what we’re going to get from just about every Juventus player on the roster ... except for Alcaraz simply because his first 25 minutes in bianconero are not nearly enough to actually form an opinion.
So if it’s Alcaraz coming into the lineup for somebody like Filip Kostic, which would then have Andrea Cambiaso out on the left and Weston McKennie kicked out onto the right wing, that feels like something that could work. You won’t actually know until you try it out, right?

Former Juventus midfielder says it would be a shame if they finish fourth
At the beginning of this season, Juventus set a clear target of finishing inside the top four. However, their strong performances throughout the campaign fueled hopes of contending for the league title. While Inter Milan has been the standout team, Juventus had a chance to compete closely. Unfortunately, in the last four games, the Bianconeri have failed to secure a victory, leading to a significant gap between them and Inter, bringing them closer to the fourth spot. ............
Former Juventus player Massimo Mauro expresses his reluctance to believe that Juventus will continue to struggle and finish in fourth position.
He said:
“The bad thing about Juve is that they had made the fans hope that they could stay alongside Inter for a long time. Instead, they have to watch their backs, because Atalanta has strength and enthusiasm. Allegri has always said they are aiming for fourth place, but at this point finishing fourth would be a shame.” ............

Juventus clearly believe in Carlos Alcaraz and are hoping to set up a new deal with Southampton in the summer, reports detail.
The 21-year-old Argentinian midfielder joined the Bianconeri from the Saints last month on a six-month loan deal worth around €3.7m plus €1.9m in add-ons, with a €49.5m buy option attached, figures that raised some eyebrows. ............
As detailed by Nicola Balice, Juventus are planning to propose a new offer to Southampton for Alcaraz in the summer, unwilling to activate his expensive €49.5m buy option after just five months.
The Bianconeri are thinking of drawing up new loan terms and possibly changing the buy option to an obligation clause, whilst trying to lower the transfer costs. Southampton’s interest in Matias Soule could also come into play during their talks in the summer. ............

Journalist tips Allegri to make a significant formation change
Max Allegri has consistently expressed his faith in the 3-5-2 formation at Juventus, prompting some players to adapt to this tactical setup. Notably, Federico Chiesa faced challenges initially, being deployed out of position as one of the two attackers, whereas he prefers a wider role in a 4-3-3 formation. ............
Journalist Sergio Baldini anticipates that Allegri might eventually revert to the 4-3-3 formation, considering it the most suitable setup for some of the Juventus players.
Baldini said:
“Against Udinese the coach also brought in Iling Junior, moving the Turkish midfielder. However, Juve has switched to 4-3-3 which I believe could be the formation of the future, as some transfer targets such as Felipe Anderson, Zaccagni and Gudmundsson himself suggest. Allegri had said that he would not change the 3-5-2, but a tactical shock could help in this difficult moment. First of all, the team needs a reaction from a psychological point of view, but this could also involve changes, perhaps to regain the lost enthusiasm.” ............

Zinedine Zidane has been linked with the Bayern Munich bench for next season, but a friend claims he would ‘prefer’ Juventus if they came calling.
The former Real Madrid coach has been out of the sport since leaving the Bernabeu in the summer of 2021.
He will always have great love for Juve, having played there from 1996 to 2001, when he was sold for then-record fee of circa €77.5m to Real Madrid.
According to German channel Sport 1, Zidane is one of the options being considered by Bayern Munich for next season, after it was announced that Thomas Tuchel will not remain beyond the end of this campaign. ............

Two names stay prominent among Juventus targets to replace Alex Sandro
Juventus is intensifying its efforts to secure a replacement for Alex Sandro, who is set to depart at the end of the current season. Despite being a crucial member of the first team and receiving consistent playing time under Max Allegri, the club is mindful of the need to plan for the future, and Sandro appears to be on the periphery of those plans. ............
Several left-backs have been linked with a move to Juventus in recent weeks, and the club has narrowed down its list to two primary targets. The Bianconeri’s main considerations are Lloyd Kelly from Bournemouth and Mario Hermoso from Atletico Madrid.
Both Kelly and Hermoso are set to become free agents in the summer, making them appealing options for Juventus. The club views them as cost-effective additions to strengthen the squad and enhance its overall quality. As Juventus looks toward the future, securing a capable replacement for Alex Sandro is a key priority, and these two left-backs are currently at the forefront of the club’s transfer plans. ............

Dean Huijsen changes his nationality as his stock keeps rising
Dean Huijsen has emerged as the most promising Juventus youngster out on loan since the beginning of this year, despite his recent move to AS Roma in the last transfer window. .............
In addition to his on-field success, Huijsen recently settled the debate surrounding his international future, which had been a subject of contention between Spain and the Netherlands. Although he relocated to Spain at the age of five, he has been representing the youth teams of the Netherlands in recent years. .............
Huijsen has now completed a change of nationality, making him eligible to be selected by Spain. While he won’t be able to join the Spanish squad for Euro 2024, the talented youngster has become a player worth watching, and he could potentially feature in their squad for future competitions. .............

Juventus celebrate Allegri milestone at J|Museum: “Proud and happy”
On Tuesday afternoon, Juventus celebrated the latest milestone set by Max Allegri who has overtaken Marcello Lippi in terms of appearances.
Last Saturday’s away fixture against Hellas Verona marked the manager’s 406th match in the black-and-white dugout. ............
The club’s entire hierarchy attended the occasion, including club president Gianluca Ferrero, CEO Maurizio Scanavino, Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli and sporting director Giovanni Manna among others.
A totem at the museum has been dedicated to the 56-year-old has now become second in the club’s all-time appearance record, only behind the legendary Giovanni Trapattoni.
“We are happy and proud to celebrate such an important and historic number as the one that our coach has reached,” said club president Ferrero. ............

Juventus Expected to Be Pragmatic About Coaching Choice
The reports about Juventus keeping Massimiliano Allegri past this season have gone back and forth. The team has yet to decide what to do with the gaffer. The parties would eventually need to agree to a new contract. ............
Conversely, if the Bianconeri limped to the finish line, the possibility of a coaching change would gain steam. Thiago Motta is the potential replacement the front office is the most intrigued by. ............
The Old Lady is in a peculiar spot as they’ll reach their goal, barring a collapse of epic proportions, yet their season might still be disappointing. They’ll have to make the call factoring in their transfer market strategy too. If they want to win with the Tuscan boss, they’ll have to give him two or three proven champions, as he’s not going to lift the team through his tactics. Instead, if they want to go with a younger and cheaper squad, a mad scientist like Motta would be a better fit.

“My dad named me after you” – Bremer pays tribute to late Inter legend Andreas Brehme

It was announced this morning that the German legend suddenly passed away at the age of 63.
Tributes have been pouring from all over the globe, with fans and footballers from past and present mourning the death of the late left-back. ............

Ravanelli weighs in on Juventus situation: “Allegri is not the problem, the players aren’t ready”
Juventus legend Fabrizio Ravanelli came to the defense of Max Allegri when discussing the current situation at the club. ............
White Feather believes that the main issue lies in the quality of the players at the coach’s disposal.
The 55-year-old backs his claim by noting that the manager had done well when he had a superior squad at Continassa, in a reference to his first stint at the club between 2014 and 2019.
“I don’t think Allegri is the problem for this Juventus side”.
“Whenever he had the necessary resources, he has always been able to bring out the best in the team. But today, the players are not ready to compete for the title.
“During their excellent run, they have pushed themselves beyond the limit, but the team is not ready to win a tough league like Serie A.” ............

Juventus vs Frosinone: Preview
Juventus host Frosinone at the Allianz Stadium on Serie A Matchday 26, and they need to get back to winning ways as they lose further grip on leaders Inter.
The Bianconeri were held to a 2-2 draw by Hellas Verona in the previous round of action, and they have been winless for four matches. However, they remain in second place with 54 points after AC Milan lost to Monza, while Inter are nine points in front and have a game in hand.
Meanwhile, Frosinone are equal 14th with Udinese on 23 points, and they have lost their last three matches. The Canarini also have a few players on loan from Juventus such as Matias Soule, Enzo Barrenechea, and Kaio Jorge. Soule has arguably been the best player of the season for the Ciociari, but the other two will also have points to prove to La Vecchia Signora.
Juventus vs Frosinone: Predicted line-ups
Juventus will miss Danilo, Moise Kean, and Mattia Perin due to injuries, but Mattia De Sciglio could return after a long layoff. Gleison Bremer will returning after serving a one-match ban, but Dusan Vlahovic could be suspended if he receives one yellow card. ............
Juventus predicted XI vs Frosinone (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Rugani; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Yildiz, Vlahovic
Frosinone predicted XI vs Juventus (4-3-3): Turati; Lirola, Romagnoli, Okoli, Valeri; Gelli, Barrenechea, Mazzitelli; Soule, Cheddira, Harroui

Juventus hierarchy confirms confidence in Allegri but postpones renewal talks
Juventus manager Max Allegri still has the backing of the management, but his future at the club remains shrouded in mystery. ............
As we all know, Allegri still has another year on his contract which is valid until 2025. However, the tactician doesn’t fancy entering the final year of his deal.
Therefore, the parties will either renew their collaboration and push back the deadline, or decide to part ways at the end of the season.
The hierarchy will continue to back Allegri until the end of the campaign.
The manager still has the club’s full confidence.
However, the club directors have decided to put all contract talks on ice, delaying the matter until the end of the season. ............

Allegri considers changing Juventus formation – The two options revealed
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri could reportedly adopt a new tactical setup in the coming fixtures. ............
The 56-year-old has been working on a new formation that includes the attacking trident of Dusan Vlahovic, Federico Chiesa and Kenan Yildiz.
Since these three stars can’t all fit in the current 3-5-2 system, Allegri would have to ditch it in favor of a more attacking approach. ............
Nevertheless, the club’s recent disappointing results could accelerate the tactical change. This could prompt the birth of a 3-4-2-1 formation.
Moreover, the source notes an alternative solution in the shape of a 4-2-3-1 module, similar to the one deployed during the second half against Hellas Verona.
Chiesa and Andrea Cambiaso acted as advanced wingers, while Yildiz operated as an attacking midfielder, before being replaced by January signing Carlos Alcaraz.
This system also saw Weston McKennie acting as a right-back, while Alex Sandro seems to be the only natural option for the left-back spot (since Cambiaso is playing as a right-winger), at least until Mattia De Sciglio regains his full fitness.

Carlos Alcaraz could help Allegri usher in a new Juventus formation
Juventus manager Max Allegri could be looking to launch a new formation, and Carlos Alcaraz can play a central figure in this tactical transition. ............
While he has yet to make his full debut, Alcaraz could have a significant role to play in the coming weeks.
Allegri is contemplating a tactical switch from the current 3-5-2 formation to a 4-3-3 system or one of its variants.
This could see the Bianconeri usher in a new 4-2-3-1 formation, with the January signing playing as an attacking midfielder behind Dusan Vlahovic, while Manuel Locatelli and Adrien Rabiot occupy the double-pivot roles. ............

Allegri and Giuntoli diagnose main Juventus issue – The measures decided
Juventus coach Max Allegri and the club’s Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli held open talks to identify the issues plaguing the squad as of late.
The Bianconeri have failed to register a win in their last four outings, which effectively spelled the end of the Scudetto aspirations.
Following Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Hellas Verona, Allegri and Giuntoli held open talks on Sunday to figure out the main problem that has been hampering the team in recent weeks.
The duo agreed that the issue is primarily mental. ............
Allegri and Giuntoli decided that the manager would address the team, perhaps taking a more stern stance and raising the tone a little bit, hoping to give the players a wake-up call, without forgetting the merits accomplished earlier in the season.
The coach will also be seeking assistance from the senior players in the squad who will have a major role to play in the coming weeks.
The Bianconeri will be hoping to turn the corner starting with a win over Frosinone this Sunday.

Del Piero defends “excellent” Allegri and has a massage for the players: “At Juventus, you must improve”
Juventus icon Alessandro Del Piero weighs in on the situation at the club, urging the players to bring their A-game.
The Bianconeri have been without a win in their last four fixtures, conceding two defeats sandwiched between two draws.
The club remains second in the standings thanks to Milan’s defeat at the hands of Monza, but league leaders Inter are now out of sight.
But while Allegri’s work has come under great scrutiny as of late, Del Piero doesn’t identify the manager as the main culprit. ............
“Last year, Allegri wasn’t good, he was excellent,” proclaimed the 2006 World Cup winner during his appearance on Sky Sport Italia. ............
“In a situation where things are not going well, it is clear that Allegri has his responsibilities, as does everyone, from the staff to the players.”
“Is Allegri staying? If one day I find myself in the position to decide I’ll tell you. But now I can’t,” laughs the retired striker.
Nevertheless, Del Piero seemed more critical of the squad. He insists that any player who join Juventus must show improvement.
“There are situations that must change gradually. If you play for Juventus, you have to improve over time.
“You can’t be the same player as the one you were upon your arrival. ” ............

“Don’t forget me” – Gianluca Vialli’s last heartbreaking message to old Juventus comrades (Video)
Marcello Lippi’s docuseries titled “Adesso vinco io” included a heartbreaking scene featuring the late Gianluca Vialli. ............
“We haven’t seen each other for a while but the thread that unites is everlasting.
“We shared many things together, I made you win a Champions League,” prompting a big laughter from his old teammates.
