ROMA 1 - 0 JUVENTUS Gervinho (79′) January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Garcia: 'Roma's tactical victory' Jan 21, 2014 Rudi Garcia felt Roma “wanted it more” and “it was a tactical victory” to knock Juventus out of the Coppa Italia. http://markting10.nl/ Gervinho scored the late goal to decide the quarter-final at the Stadio Olimpico. “I think Roma wanted it more. We played against a very strong side and we saw tonight they have two first choice line-ups, so you can’t tell when they are rotating,” the Coach told Rai Sport. “We played well tonight, kept possession in the first half and it was also a tactical victory, as we decided to wait a little more after the break to open up spaces. That’s how we got the goal.” http://markting10.nl/ Miralem Pjanic was a substitute who created the move for the winning goal. “His pass was excellent for Kevin Strootman and above all Gervinho’s run to the near post. I had many options on the bench tonight and we expected the teams to battle for an hour. “We had prepared for Miralem to be decisive when he came off the bench. I wanted a team that worked hard and covered the midfield, which did work in the first half. I can say Miralem is an essential player for us and will be next year too.” http://markting10.nl/ Roma will face either Napoli or Lazio in the semi-final, which is decided over two legs, but Garcia shrugged off a suggestion the Giallorossi were now favourites for the trophy. “No, I don’t think we are the favourites. There are still great teams in the competition and the two semi-finals will be at a very high level. We should enjoy this victory and from tomorrow be concentrated on Verona, where we’ll play with great ambition. “Napoli or Lazio makes no difference to us.” http://markting10.nl/ The 1-0 victory over Juventus arrived just two weeks after Roma were crushed 3-0 at the Juventus Stadium in Serie A. “Tonight was the Coppa Italia, but it was also the Serie A leaders against second, so it counted for the environment. We saw a Roma side with character who took the initiative in Turin, but this time we created spaces and were able to strike at the right moment. “At times a team has a strategy, but that cannot be put into action and they are obligated to work on the counter-attack. I think tactically Roma worked very well this evening. http://markting10.nl/ “This was a game our fans were waiting for. We saw the Olimpico full and that’s what football is all about, seeing the supporters give their all to cheer us on. I am proud of the Roma fans tonight. “We are competitive, but also know Juve are a great side who won two consecutive Scudetti. We did not expect Juve to have 55 points after 20 games, as 47 is an exceptional tally already. Tonight we saw we have the abilities and the talent to beat a side that is one of the biggest clubs in Italy. “How strong are Roma? We’ll see at the end of the season, but we have to keep pushing and see where we end up. I am truly satisfied.”

ROMA 1 - 0 JUVENTUS Gervinho (79′) January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Conte: Juventus were too shy The Bianconeri boss has acknowledged that Roma deserved to win 1-0 in the Coppa Italia but is unhappy with the decision not to send off Mehdi Benatia. Jan 21, 2014 Juventus coach Antonio Conte says his side's "shy" start to the eventual 1-0 Coppa Italia defeat to Roma was to blame for the loss. http://markting10.nl/ A late Gervinho effort saw Rudi Garcia's side into the semi-finals of the competition at the expense of the Serie A champions. The former Siena boss feels his troops would also have been worthy winners on the night, but accepted that they came up against good opponents in the form of the Giallorossi. "It was a balances game, and Roma's goal came when we were playing better. In the first half, we were perhaps a little too shy, but I do think we can say that we suffered. http://markting10.nl/ "We're two strong teams, this time it went in their favour and they won. The guys are not to blame. We have used the Coppa Italia to rotate. "There's the Scudetto and the Europa League. It was not easy to come here and deal with this Roma. We could have won but in the end they won." http://markting10.nl/ Mehdi Benatia was booked for dragging down Sebastian Giovinco in the first period and Conte went on to say that the Moroccan could have been sent off for the offence. "I think he was the last man. I don't understand it. However, I'm not going to replace the referee. He decided it that way and we accept it."

ROMA 1 - 0 JUVENTUS Gervinho (79′) January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Initial reaction and random observations Jan 21, 2014 When your team doesn't record a shot on goal, it's hard to win a game against a good team like Roma. When you don't play well, it's hard to win a game against a good team like Roma. When your best players don't play up to their ability, it's hard to win against a good team like Roma. http://markting10.nl/ All of those things are applicable in the aftermath of Juventus' elimination from the Coppa Italia on Tuesday night. In total, there were two shots on goal at the Stadio Olimpico. One was Gervinho's 79-minute goal, the other easily saved by Marco Storari a few moments later. Two shots on goal, both by Roma, none by Juventus. Of Juve's six — SIX! — shots against Roma, five went flying into the stands, and the other being blocked. It was as lackluster as a Juventus attack as we've seen in awhile. In fact, it was the first time that a Juventus team managed by Antonio Conte has failed to record even a single shot on goal. Seriously. http://markting10.nl/ What's that highly analytical statement a good number of people say? Oh, that's right — ball don't lie. It's pretty difficult to score goals when your best scoring chances are flying over the goal with plenty of room to spare. That was the case for Juventus on Tuesday night. Regardless of what the lineup did or didn't look like, those who played the majority of the match didn't deliver. Nothing more, nothing less. JuventusFC ✔ @juventusfcen #Conte: I'm happy with the performances of those who play less, it's a pity we conceded during our best moment of the game. #RomaJuve http://markting10.nl/ Roma were the better team. They undoubtedly played the better game and had the better approach. They deserved to win and I won't hesitate repeating that over and over again. It's as simple as that. End of story. Now back to Serie A where Juventus is the team who is dominating the competition. I like those final scores better anyway. Random thoughts and observations • A lot, A LOT of the talk is going to be about just how serious Conte takes the Coppa Italia. I don't doubt that he thinks it's important. I mean, it is Conte after all and the guy wants to win everything possible. But the thing with the Coppa is that Conte has always played a squad with mostly reserves. So in that sense, he's consistent about what he is doing when approaching the tournament. The thing is, though, it wasn't a reserve-filled squad like we've gotten in the past. Juventus just played poorly. That's it. It's not like Simone Padoin was playing as a regista or anything. The squad that played Tuesday weren't good at all. Simple as that. http://markting10.nl/ But if you doubt that he doesn't care about the Coppa Italia, I suggest you watch his post-match interview. Go ahead and report back to me. • In the match preview, I put an emphasis on what a rested Andrea Pirlo can possibly do. What did he end up doing after over a week of rest? Not a whole hell of anything at all. This was one a those ever-so-often Pirlo stinkers. What's hard to believe is that it didn't come after he's played game after game for a month straight. It was when he was one of the most rested players on the field. • Maybe in the match preview I should have concentrated on Sebastian Giovinco and Fabio Quagliarella might or might not do. Giovinco was one of the better players in a sub-par lot for Juventus. But Quagliarella was a lot like many Juve players — incredibly ineffective. A night to forget without a doubt. http://markting10.nl/ • Juventus' game encapsulated in one simple gif. Swing and a miss. • Man oh man did Leonardo Bonucci get caught ball watching on Gervinho's goal. Oofa. Not good. • Juventus is up eight points on Roma in the Serie A table. Let's just remember that when we're feeling the need to rant and rave about what Conte did wrong against Roma on Tuesday. Things aren't all bad...

ROMA 1 - 0 JUVENTUS Gervinho (79′) January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Gervinho sends Giallorossi to Coppa Italia semi-final Jan 21, 2014 Roma beat Juventus 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Tuesday night in their Coppa Italia quarter-final clash. http://markting10.nl/ The only goal of the game was scored by Gervinho who finished off a fantastic team movement. After a cagey first five minutes new Roma signing Radja Nainggolan tried his luck from distance, only for it to go wide of Marco Storari’s post. Roma began to up their game, and after a quick pass and move the ball found Alessandro Florenzi whose shot went wide. http://markting10.nl/ Then came a major talking point when Sebastian Giovinco was brought down by Mehdi Benatia with the latter appearing to be the last defender, however referee Paolo Tagliavento opted to book the Moroccan international. With 20 minutes of the first half gone it was clear that the Bianconeri were aiming to slow down the tempo in an attempt to combat the Giallorossi’s enthusiasm. The Giallorossi continued their attacking onslaught however, this time Daniele De Rossi played the ball out wide to Francesco Totti whose cross was cleared by Giorgio Chiellini before it could reach Florenzi. http://markting10.nl/ Roma continued to threaten Juve, this time Vasilis Torisidis’ cross went across the face of goal untouched. Rudi Garcia’s men continued to press high up the pitch, this time Totti’s volley from long range went inches wide of the post. Juventus could have conceded when Gervinho played the ball out wide to Nainggolan who laid the ball off to Totti, but the latter’s shot took a deflection. http://markting10.nl/ In the opening minutes of the second half Juventus thought they were 1-0 up when Fedrico Peluso headed past Morgan De Sanctis but the linesman had his flag up as the initial cross appeared to have crossed the byline. Roma responded quickly, but this time Florenzi’s looping header went wide of the far post. The Giallorossi continued to knock on the door, Totti’s swerving cross was cleared in the last minute by Leonardo Bonucci before it could reach Gervinho. http://markting10.nl/ Roma could’ve been caught on the break when Sebastian Giovinco and Fabio Quagliarella’s presence was outnumbering Roma who only had Benatia back defending, but before Giovinco’s attempted through ball reached Quagliarella, Kevin Strootman had made a last-gasp interception. Peluso had a great chance to put Juve ahead when he beat De Sanctis to a cross but the former Atalanta man had his eyes shut and failed to direct the ball. Roma finally broke the deadlock when substitute Miralem Pjanic’s made a bolstering run from midfield, waited for Strootman who was coming in from the left and the Netherlands international’s cross found Gervinho who took one step to beat Bonucci to the ball and finish to make it 1-0. http://markting10.nl/ Gervinho could’ve scored another goal minutes later but his shot was saved by Storari. Pjanic almost topped an instrumental contribution to the game, but his stinging drive went wide of the post. With this win, Roma are through to the semi-finals and will face either Lazio or Napoli in the semi-finals.

ROMA 1 - 0 JUVENTUS Gervinho (79′) January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Coppa: Roma knock Juve out Gervinho’s acrobatic finish gave Roma a 1-0 victory over Juventus in the Coppa Italia quarter-final and morale-boosting ‘revenge’. Jan 21, 2014 The semi-final will see the Giallorossi take on either Napoli or Lazio on February 5 and 12, as this is the only stage of the tournament to be decided over two legs. http://markting10.nl/ The Bianconeri won the Serie A showdown 3-0 in Turin earlier this month, but they went head-to-head again for the Coppa Italia quarter-final knockout round. Rudi Garcia fielded a full-strength side, with the exception of the not 100 per cent fit Miralem Pjanic and Federico Balzaretti, but Antonio Conte rotated his squad. Radja Nainggolan had the first shot wide from distance, followed by Alessandro Florenzi, as Roma’s pressing game proved effective. Juve focused on the counter-attack and were furious when Mehdi Benatia was booked for knocking over Sebastian Giovinco around 20 metres away from goal, as they wanted a red for terminating a scoring opportunity on Pirlo’s long ball. The resulting Pirlo free kick was deflected off the wall. Some splendid Daniele De Rossi footwork set up a chance that Francesco Totti had charged down in the box, then Kevin Strootman at full stretch just failed to get on the end of a Vasilis Torosidis cross at the back post. http://markting10.nl/ Totti’s volleyed snapshot whistled just wide and Gervinho’s ball across the six-yard box was inches beyond Florenzi. The pressure was increasing and from a similar position Douglas Maicon’s ball flashed past Marco Storari, who mistimed his intervention, and needed Mauricio Isla to clear the loose ball. Despite carrying a knock in the first half, Andrea Barzagli stayed on and Angelo Ogbonna replaced Giorgio Chiellini. Juve thought they had taken the lead straight after the restart with a Federico Peluso cushioned header at the back post, but the Isla cross had already gone out of play. Florenzi’s looping header whistled wide from an impressive volleyed Torosidis cross, then Barzagli crucially intercepted Totti’s cross for Gervinho in the six-yard box. Giovinco wasted a good counter-attacking opportunity when his pass wasn’t quite accurate enough for Arturo Vidal. Peluso was dangerous again, nodding the ball almost out of the hands of Morgan De Sanctis. http://markting10.nl/ Totti had another powerful attempt charged down in the penalty area, but Isla wasted a promising opportunity when he scuffed his shot rather than pass to Vidal in a better position to score. Pjanic came off the bench and proved decisive. He surged forward, spread the play for Strootman down the left and the cross was flicked in off the outside of his boot from four yards to give Roma the lead. http://markting10.nl/ Conte threw on Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente in a bid to turn this around in the final 10 minutes. Totti’s cross-shot was deflected to flash just past Gervinho at the back post. Gervinho fired straight at Storari, Claudio Marchisio ballooned over the bar and Torosidis curled an audacious attempt off target. Pjanic ran forward in stoppages for a daisy-cutter that skimmed the base of the upright. Juventus needed a goal to force extra time, but Vidal lost his footing on the edge of the area to blast over. http://markting10.nl/ Roma 1-0 Juventus Scorers: Gervinho 79 ® ROMA: De Sanctis; Maicon, Benatia, Castan, Torosidis; Nainggolan, De Rossi, Strootman; Florenzi (Pjanic 75), Totti (Ljajic 83), Gervinho JUVENTUS: Storari; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini (Ogbonna 46); Isla, Vidal, Marchisio, Pirlo, Peluso (Tevez 80); Quagliarella, Giovinco (Llorente 77) Ref: Tagliavento

ROMA 1 - 0 JUVENTUS Gervinho (79′) January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Gervinho stuns Bianconeri The Cote d'Ivoire striker scored with just 11 minutes remaining to give the home side victory at the Stadio Olimpico. Jan 21, 2014 Gervinho scored the only goal of the game as Roma moved into the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia with a 1-0 win over Juventus. http://markting10.nl/ The capital club, who were beaten 3-0 by Juve in Serie A earlier this month, dictated play for much of a scrappy encounter and were rewarded with a victory that keeps alive their hopes of avenging a defeat to Lazio in last year's final. Gervinho was the hero on the night, as he struck 11 minutes from time with a superb backheeled volley to condemn the Bianconeri to a first domestic loss since a 4-2 defeat to Fiorentina on October 20. Roma were fortunate not to be reduced to 10 men after 14 minutes when the referee elected only to caution last defender Mehdi Benatia for a foul on Sebastian Giovinco. http://markting10.nl/ The hosts enjoyed the better of the first half without creating any real goalscoring opportunities, with veteran playmaker Francesco Totti going closest just after the half-hour mark as he sent a left-footed volley wide. Juve looked to have taken the lead a minute into the second half when Federico Peluso headed in at the far post, only for the linesman to rule that the ball had crossed the byline and gone out of play in the build-up. Alessandro Florenzi then went close with a header for Rudi Garcia's men, before the 75th minute introduction of midfielder Miralem Pjanic proved decisive. http://markting10.nl/ The Bosnia-Herzegovina international needed just four minutes to make an impact, the former Lyon man surging into the penalty area before laying the ball off for Kevin Strootman, whose near post cross was turned home in stunning fashion by Gervinho. Juve failed to mount any sort of revival and although Pjanic wasted a chance to add a second in injury-time, Roma held on to progress to the semi-finals.

Evidentemente fa piú notizia quando perdiamo che quando vinciamo.

É vero!

Non riesco a togliere gli occhi dalla tua firma ....

Forse é una clausola nel contratto di certi giocatori che debbano giocare in coppa Italia.

Non si gioca con le riserve contro la Roma, Conte. Questa non l'ammetto.

Tevez ha solo 10 minuti per fare qualcosa.

E va be'.

A me no.

Si fanno sentire i nostri sugli spalti.

Giovinco ... non va.

Se andiamo ai supplementari, la Roma é cotta.

I big si sono riposati, Conte, ora falli entrare prima che sia troppo tardi.

Dentro Pogba e Llorente.

De Rossi non perde il vizio.

ROMA - JUVENTUS January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento HT 0-0: Fiery Roma-Juventus Jan 21, 2014 Roma had the better of the first half, but Juventus wanted Mehdi Benatia sent off as it’s 0-0 in the Coppa Italia quarter-final. http://markting10.nl/ The Bianconeri won the Serie A showdown 3-0 in Turin earlier this month, but they went head-to-head again for the Coppa Italia quarter-final knockout round.
