JUVENTUS - TORINO February 23, 2014 - 6:30 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Nicola Rizzoli Line-ups: Juventus-Torino Feb 23, 2014 Juventus host Torino in the Derby della Mole with Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente against Ciro Immobile and Alessio Cerci. http://markting10.nl/ It kicks off at the unusual time of 18.30 CET. This could be the most evenly-matched Turin Derby for decades, as the Granata are in joint sixth place and have nothing to lose. Immobile – co-owned by Juventus – and Cerci have netted 24 Serie A goals between them this season. http://markting10.nl/ Omar El Kaddouri is on loan from Napoli and is in midfield with Jasmin Kurtic, while Cesare Bovo is preferred to Nikola Maksimovic. Salvatore Masiello was in the starting XI, but is replaced by Giovanni Pasquale after suffering an injury during the warm-up. On the other hand, the Bianconeri are without the injured Giorgio Chiellini, Mirko Vucinic and Simone Pepe, though Andrea Barzagli returns to the back three after a calf problem. http://markting10.nl/ Martin Caceres is preferred to Angelo Ogbonna despite being more of a full-back. They risk fatigue after Thursday’s 2-0 Europa League victory over Trabzonspor and have to consider squad rotation ahead of next week’s second leg in Turkey. Nonetheless, there is no rest for Tevez and Llorente, who have between them scored 23 Serie A goals. http://markting10.nl/ Andrea Pirlo pulls the midfield strings with Paul Pogba and Arturo Vidal. Torino haven’t won this fixture since a Ruggiero Rizzitelli brace in April 1995 and haven’t even scored for 12 years. Juve have conceded in their last six Serie A games, whereas Toro kept five clean sheets during the same period. http://markting10.nl/ JUVENTUS: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Caceres; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah; Llorente, Tevez Juventus bench: Storari, Rubinho, Isla, Ogbonna, Peluso, Padoin, Marchisio, Giovinco, Osvaldo, Quagliarella TORINO: Padelli; Bovo, Glik, Moretti; Darmian, Kurtic, Vives, El Kaddouri, Pasquale; Cerci, Immobile Torino bench: Gomis, Berni, Rodriguez, Basha, Farnerud, Gazzi, Larrondo, Maksimovic, Vesovic, Meggiorini, Tachtsidis http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - TORINO February 23, 2014 - 6:30 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Nicola Rizzoli Cairo: 'My Juve-Immobile proposal' Feb 23, 2014 Torino President Urbano Cairo urged Juventus to leave them Ciro Immobile for another season. “It will send his price-tag through the roof.” http://markting10.nl/ It is unusual for the rivals to do business, but Immobile has been a revelation since joining Toro in a co-ownership deal this summer, scoring 13 Serie A goals. “Giampiero Ventura was convinced he could do well here and I have a proposal for Juve: they should leave him with Toro for another year,” Cairo told La Stampa newspaper. http://markting10.nl/ “It is a choice that will suit the lad, because he’s happy with us, and suits Juventus because another season like this will send his price-tag through the roof. “If Beppe Marotta were to say no, then I’d go to a blind auction. It’s not an option that I like, but I am not the type to hold back.” If two clubs cannot agree on either a renewal of a co-ownership or for one side to buy out the other, then they go to a blind auction at the end of the season. http://markting10.nl/ This is when both clubs put a figure into a sealed envelope and the highest bid wins the remaining 50 per cent of his contract. Torino’s other star striker, Alessio Cerci, is also only co-owned with Fiorentina. “I will try to give him a reason to stay, though so far nobody has come forward asking me to negotiate,” noted Cairo. http://markting10.nl/ “I hope he won’t ask me to listen to proposals. Of course, if a big club did come in for him, I wouldn’t try to clip his wings, just as I didn’t with Angelo Ogbonna. “I want Cerci to stay because he is one of those players the fans are proud to have in their side.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - TORINO February 23, 2014 - 6:30 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Nicola Rizzoli Garcia: Roma ready for Juve slip-ups Feb 23, 2014 Rudi Garcia hailed Roma’s “very important victory” at Bologna and hopes Juventus can trip up in the Turin Derby. http://markting10.nl/ The 1-0 result at the Stadio Dall’Ara was earned with a Radja Nainggolan goal, though they also ran some huge risks in stoppages. “It is a very important victory and that is all that matters,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia. Juventus are six points in front and face local rivals Torino in the Derby della Mole on Sunday. http://markting10.nl/ “Anything can happen in a derby. The levels of the two teams no longer matter, as it’s just the pride to win and not lose. “We’ve done our bit for this weekend and can watch what the others do now. Will Juve slow down? I played in Europe many times with Lille and know it takes up a lot of energy. It’s tough after a European fixture. “We do not play midweek and we’ve got to make the most of that fact.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - TORINO February 23, 2014 - 6:30 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Nicola Rizzoli Marchisio: Juventus never tire of beating Torino The Juventus midfielder insists that his side never tire of securing a win over their local rivals and intends to add another victory when the two teams meet on Sunday. Feb 23, 2014 Claudio Marchisio has fired a warning to Torino ahead of Sunday's derby, claiming that Juventus can never get bored of beating them. http://markting10.nl/ The Bianconeri boast an impressive record against their neighbours, with Toro losing their previous five Serie games against them and failing to register a victory in the derby since 1995. However, Giampiero Ventura's side go into the game with confidence after their 3-1 win over Hellas Verona last week pushed them into sixth, just three points behind Inter in the final Europa League spot. Speaking ahead of the encounter though, Marchisio stressed that there was no doubting the desire of the Old Lady to collect another three points against the side they overcame 1-0 in September's derby. http://markting10.nl/ "With Juve I've played and taken some great satisfaction from winning in the derby," the 28-year-old Italian told the club's official YouTube channel. "There's only one problem - it's not enough for us. It's never enough!" http://markting10.nl/ Juventus have won all 12 of their Serie A home games this season and go into the fixture with no sign of their form waning after securing a 2-0 last-32 Europa League win over Trabzonspor on Thursday. The defending champions sit top of the league with 63 points from 24 games, six ahead of second-placed Roma. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Varane: I would love to see Pogba at Madrid The Blancos defender has offered an invitation his international team-mate to join him at Santiago Bernabeu, where he has been for two and a half seasons. Feb 23, 2014 Raphael Varane says he would gladly welcome Paul Pogba to Real Madrid if the midfielder was in a position to leave Juventus. AMAZONIAN Since leaving Manchester United in the summer of 2012, Pogba has established himself as a regular for the Bianconeri alongside the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal and Claudio Marchisio However, transfer speculation has abounded of late that some of Europe's top sides - most notably Paris Saint-Germain - have been interested in making a bid for his services, and Varane says he'd delighted if Carlo Ancelotti signed his France team-mate. "I have no information about any move," the 20-year-old told French football programme Telefoot. AMAZONIAN "But personally, if it happens, I'd be very happy. I would love to play with him, but it's not my decision obviously." Varane and Pogba are both regarded as two of the best young prospects in Europe and have established themselves in the France national team, making their debuts in the same game - a 3-1 win for les Bleus over Georgia last March in World Cup qualifying.

Pirlo commits to Juve, not Italy Feb 23, 2014 Andrea Pirlo is planning a Juventus renewal, shrugging off Real Madrid and Milan, but will quit Italy after the World Cup. http://markting10.nl/ The midfielder will be in action today at 17.30 GMT in the Derby della Mole, click here for a match preview. “Torino are a well-organised side who play good football and score many goals with Ciro Immobile and Alessio Cerci,” Pirlo told La Stampa newspaper. “They have already secured safety, unlike previous seasons when they’d play us with a sense of fear. Now they know a victory over Juve would add something extra to the campaign, whereas for us it would be a slip-up in the Scudetto race. http://markting10.nl/ “We are aware the title depends only on us, because we have an advantage, but Roma play well and it’ll be a fight to the end. Therefore, we cannot drop points along the way.” Pirlo was a free agent at the end of 10 years at Milan when he joined Juventus, but his contract is due to expire in June. There have been many reports of a potential switch this summer to reunite with Ancelotti at Real Madrid or even a return to the Rossoneri under old teammate Clarence Seedorf. http://markting10.nl/ “I just want to be a protagonist, as long as I feel up to it, which I hope is as long as possible. I’ve talked to Juve and we’ll meet up to define the details, but there are so many games at the moment, so it’s better to focus on them. “There are all the conditions needed for me to stay: Juve are growing and we can achieve great objectives. President Andrea Agnelli always left the door open for anything I needed, from day one, so I thank him. “Real Madrid? I never spoke to them. As always, I talk to Ancelotti, but not about football or transfers. Silvio Berlusconi also called me, but I won’t return to Milan.” http://markting10.nl/ Pirlo wants to continue at club level, but will hang up his Italy jersey after the 2014 World Cup. “I will be 35 years old, so it’s only right to let others grow into their roles. Of course, if I am needed, then it’s not a problem. As soon as I realise that I am no longer able to do certain things, I’ll be the first to step aside. I don’t want anyone simply putting up with me.” There was controversy last week between Antonio Conte and Fabio Capello, so how did Pirlo view the two Juve outfits? http://markting10.nl/ “Capello’s Juve were very successful. Perhaps not the most spectacular team, but they were ruthless, like all Capello’s sides. They know what they want and in the end they get it. “Conte’s Juventus are different, based on the collective and well-organised, achieving great results with good football. We enjoy our football on the pitch.”

Pirlo backs Gerrard to thrive in deeper role Liverpool have used the 33-year-old midfielder in a withdrawn role this season, and the Juventus playmaker has backed his English counterpart to make a successful transition. Feb 23, 2014 EXCLUSIVE By Thomas Unsworth Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo has backed Steven Gerrard to adapt his game and play on at the top level until his late 30s. http://markting10.nl/ Pirlo, who will be 35 in May, has helped Juventus to two consecutive Serie A titles since moving to Turin on a free transfer in 2011 from AC Milan, and was a key member of the Italy squad that got to the Euro 2012 final. Gerrard, 33, has been used in a deeper role by Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers this season, with more of a focus on dictating the play with passes from the base of midfield as opposed to a more advanced positioning. And Pirlo, who has tailored his game since leaving Milan, believes intelligent players like the England international have the wherewithal to prolong their careers. http://markting10.nl/ "As a player you get to the stage where you realise that you are not 25 any more - and can't play the way you used to," Pirlo told Goal. "The intelligent players adapt - and Steven Gerrard has the ability to do that. He is an excellent passer of the ball, possesses an intelligent football brain, and has great vision. He might not be able to run around for 90 minutes any more, but he has all the qualities to play a deeper role." Gerrard missed the end of last season with a shoulder injury but his fitness and conditioning have been carefully managed by Liverpool in recent years, and Pirlo believes that will be vital in his remaining years as a professional. http://markting10.nl/ "Top European clubs are always progressing with what they can do off the field," he added. "Training is getting more scientific, and we are constantly getting more educated on nutrition. "If you look after yourself and are willing to adapt - there is no reason why you can't play at the top level until your late 30s. "Gerrard is a top professional, it is very possible he has many top years left for Liverpool and England in a new role."

JUVENTUS - TORINO February 23, 2014 - 6:30 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Nicola Rizzoli Barzagli back, Chiellini out Feb 22, 2014 Andrea Barzagli is back for Juventus against Torino, but Giorgio Chiellini misses out on the Derby della Mole. http://markting10.nl/ It kicks off on Sunday at 18.30 CET. Chiellini has still not recovered from a calf injury he picked up against Verona, though Barzagli does return to the back three. Mirko Vucinic and Simone Pepe are more long-term absentees. http://markting10.nl/ Juventus squad for Torino: Buffon, Caceres, Ogbonna, Pogba, Marchisio, Tevez, Giovinco, Peluso, Llorente, Barzagli, Osvaldo, Bonucci, Padoin, Pirlo, Asamoah, Vidal, Lichtsteiner, Quagliarella, Storari, Isla, Rubinho http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - TORINO February 23, 2014 - 6:30 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Nicola Rizzoli MATCH PREVIEW Feb 22, 2014 High-flying Turin rivals Juventus and Torino clash in the most eagerly anticipated Derby della Mole in more than a decade. http://markting10.nl/ The Bianconeri returned to the winners list against Chievo last Sunday. The game looked to be taking the same pattern as against Verona seven days earlier – two early goals, from Kwadwo Asamoah and Claudio Marchisio – followed by the Gialloblu making Juve sweat. Yet they would not squander the lead this time. After Martin Caceres’ own goal, Fernando Llorente nodded home the third. It has been a busy week for Antonio Conte. Amid preparing his side for their Europa League victory over Trabzonspor, he was also embroiled in an emotional war of words with Fabio Capello. Conte did not take too kindly to Capello’s perceived criticisms. It is not the ideal preparation for a derby of this magnitude. Giorgio Chiellini, Simone Pepe and Mirko Vucinic will not take part in the Mole showdown, while Andrea Barzagli may only be fit enough for the bench. http://markting10.nl/ Torino are enjoying their best campaign in more than two decades. A shock loss to Bologna aside, the Granata are flying. Last Monday they recovered from Luca Toni’s first half penalty to win 3-1 at Verona. Ciro Immobile, Alessio Cerci and Omar El Khaddouri all netted in a devastating 12 minute blitz to see Toro climb to joint sixth position. The Granata are only outside the European zone by three points, highlighting their amazing season to date. Coach Giampiero Ventura sees a group which continues to mature, but El Kaddouri has warned that securing their Serie A status remains the main priority. Ending their long-standing drought against the Bianconeri is another. Alessandro Gazzi and Paulo Barreto are sidelined through injury, otherwise it’s mostly the same XI which has shot Toro into European contention. http://markting10.nl/ Torino’s only Juventus Stadium visit ended in a heavy three-goal defeat. In Juventus-hosted derbies, the Old Lady hold a commanding lead of 34 wins to 16, with 18 draws. Keep an eye on: Ciro Immobile (Torino) – Co-owned by the two clubs, Torino’s in-form striker knows the importance of this fixture. Immobile is also enjoying a golden run, scoring eight goals in his last eight Serie A games. Juve’s defence has been somewhat fragile in recent matches and he will look to take advantage. Form guide: Juventus (W D W D W) Torino (W W D L W) Last season: Juventus 3-0 Torino http://markting10.nl/ Stat fact: Torino last defeated Juventus in 1994-95 – enduring a barren Mole spell of 15 matches without a win. They haven’t even scored in the last nine encounters. JUVENTUS (probable): Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Ogbonna; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Asamoah; Tevez, Llorente TORINO (probable): Padelli; Maksimovic, Glik, Moretti; Darmian, Vives, Farnerud, El Kaddouri, Masiello; Cerci, Immobile http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - TORINO February 23, 2014 - 6:30 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Nicola Rizzoli Torino squad for Juventus Feb 22, 2014 Giampiero Ventura named his Torino squad for tomorrow’s Derby della Mole against Juventus. http://markting10.nl/ It kicks off at the Juventus Stadium on Sunday at 18.30 CET. Paulo Vitor Barreto is the only absentee with injury, as Alessandro Gazzi has recovered ahead of schedule. http://markting10.nl/ Torino squad for Juventus: Berni, Gomis, Padelli; Bovo, Darmian, Glik, Maksimovic, Masiello, Moretti, Pasquale, Rodriguez, Vesovic; Basha, El Kaddouri, Farnerud, Gazzi, Kurtic, Tachtsidis, Vives; Cerci, Immobile, Larrondo, Meggiorini http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - TORINO February 23, 2014 - 6:30 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Nicola Rizzoli Llorente bullish for Turin Derby Feb 22, 2014 Fernando Llorente praises Antonio Conte and Juventus, prepares for the Derby della Mole and forgives Tuttosport. http://markting10.nl/ The Turin derby is on Sunday at the unusual time of 18.30 CET. He spoke to Tuttosport and forgave them for an early headline doubting his credentials for the club. “I remember that huge headline in September: ‘Is Llorente only handsome and nothing else?’ I didn’t take it badly, as I immediately understood the spirit of the question. http://markting10.nl/ “I wasn’t playing and people were wondering where I’d got too. Conte knew I needed a lot of physical work to reach the right form. He did an incredible job with me, able to wait for the perfect moment to let me play.” Llorente is expected to start tomorrow’s big game and doesn’t fear the atmosphere. “Believe me, I’ve already experienced some fiery derbies. I know how they work. With nine years at Athletic Bilbao I had many extraordinary clashes with Real Sociedad in the Basque Derby. There are also big social and political implications around the sporting rivalry too. “I’d love to score in the derby, because I just love these passionate, long-awaited and different fixtures. They are special, so every goal in them is also special. I know how much the fans care. http://markting10.nl/ “In a way, the ‘bull’ is in my destiny, as I always loved the bull-fights and would dress up as a matador when I was a kid.” The tall Spaniard has formed an impressive partnership with Carlos Tevez, though explains their differences are what make them work. “We are very different and perhaps that is also why we make such a good pair. He is more aggressive, moves more, is shorter and you can sense his hunger to score goals. We don’t hang out off the field, but between training and games I spend more time with Tevez than my own girlfriend!” http://markting10.nl/ Juventus face Torino tomorrow, then visit Trabzonspor for the second leg of the Europa League Round of 32 on Thursday. “We are using up a lot of energy at the moment, but it’ll be useful for the sprint finish in the long run. We mustn’t do something really stupid to throw away everything we’ve built so far,” continued Llorente. “Fortunately I was prepared for Conte’s methods, as Marcelo Bielsa also worked his players very hard. Juve is an incredible opportunity for me, so I must prove who I am and what I’m worth. I want to prove I’m up to this task. http://markting10.nl/ “Conte is such a great Coach. He brings with him the experience of a player, so he sees things before they happen in the game. He warns you in advance, so you’re on your toes. He lives football and passes on this gigantic energy and desire to win. “I am curious to see what he was like as a player. I’ll have to look up clips on YouTube. Occasionally he’ll tell us an anecdote about when he was a player to help us understand the situation. “In the locker room we’re like a single block of concrete, which is another key to our success. It’s pretty unusual in football to find such a united dressing room atmosphere. I share a room with Paul Pogba before games and he always makes me laugh, helping to overcome tension. He knows the potential he’s got and can win the Ballon d’Or one day.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - TORINO February 23, 2014 - 6:30 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Nicola Rizzoli Tevez 'can't wait' for Turin Derby Feb 22, 2014 Carlos Tevez “can’t wait” for Sunday’s Derby della Mole, despite feeling the strain from Juventus’ Euro commitments. http://markting10.nl/ The Turin Derby kicks off at the unusual time of 18.30 CET. On Thursday evening the Bianconeri beat Trabzonspor 2-0 in the first leg of their Round of 32 tie. “Our Europa League victory gives us a lot of confidence and we are happy with the result, even if it doesn’t allow us to relax,” Apache told Sky Sport Italia. http://markting10.nl/ “The second leg holds dangers, so we must maintain a high level of concentration. The atmosphere in Turkey is always incandescent, so it won’t be remotely easy. “I felt very tired after the game, but I’ll make sure I am ready for the derby. I can’t wait to get on the field on Sunday.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - TORINO February 23, 2014 - 6:30 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Nicola Rizzoli Juventus-Torino Preview: Bianconeri looking to heap more derby-day misery on Granata The Italian champions have not suffered a Serie A defeat to their city rivals since April 1995 and, with the benefit of home advantage, will be confident of extending that run. Feb 22, 2014 Juventus welcome near neighbours Torino on Sunday aiming to extend a 15-match unbeaten league run against their fierce rivals. http://markting10.nl/ The defending Serie A champions have not lost to their city rivals in Serie A since a 2-1 defeat in April 1995, with the Bianconeri's most recent success a 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture last September. Paul Pogba's solitary strike was enough to settle the encounter at Stadio Olimpico on that occasion and Torino will be desperate to change recent history at Juventus Stadium on Sunday. However, the task will be no easy feat, considering the hosts have won all 12 of their home league games this season, including a straightforward 3-1 triumph over Chievo last time out in Serie A. http://markting10.nl/ That victory marked the first of three home matches in the space of seven days for Antonio Conte's men, who beat Turkish outfit Trabzonspor 2-0 in the Europa League on Thursday. Pablo Daniel Osvaldo opened his Juve account on his first start for the club in the first half, while Pogba ensured a comfortable lead heading into next week's return leg in the last-32 tie. Juventus will take further confidence against Giampiero Ventura's men considering the runaway league leaders have not tasted defeat in Serie A since a 4-2 reverse at Fiorentina in October, some 16 matches ago. http://markting10.nl/ That remains Juve's only league defeat of the campaign, with the odds further stacked in home side's favour to continue that record. But Torino approach the game in buoyant mood themselves, following a 3-1 victory at fellow European hopefuls Verona last weekend. The impressive victory leaves Torino seventh in Serie A, just three points adrift of a Europa League spot. http://markting10.nl/ The Granata have also shown a marked improvement on the road in recent weeks, with three wins in their last five away Serie A matches. That followed just a solitary win in their opening seven fixtures away from Stadio Olimpico and Ventura's men may cause an upset against Juve. Defenders Giorgio Chiellini (thigh) and Andrea Barzagli (muscle) are doubtful for Juventus, while striker Mirko Vucinic is definitely out with a knee problem. Torino could be once again without forward Barreto (knock). http://markting10.nl/ Head to Head Serie A ‎- Sep 29, 2013 - Torino 0 - 1 Juventus Serie A ‎- Apr 28, 2013 - Torino 0 - 2 Juventus Serie A ‎- Dec 1, 2012 - Juventus 3 - 0 Torino Serie A ‎- Mar 7, 2009 - Torino 0 - 1 Juventus Serie A ‎- Oct 25, 2008 - Juventus 1 - 0 Torino Last Five Matches JUVENTUS Feb 20, 2014 - Juventus 2 - 0 Trabzonspor AŞ - EL Feb 16, 2014 - Juventus 3 - 1 Chievo - Serie A Feb 9, 2014 - Hellas Verona 2 - 2 Juventus - Serie A Feb 2, 2014 - Juventus 3 - 1 FC Internazionale - Serie A Jan 25, 2014 - Lazio 1 - 1 Juventus - Serie A TORINO Feb 17, 2014 - Hellas Verona 1 - 3 Torino - Serie A Feb 9, 2014 - Torino 1 - 2 Bologna - Serie A Feb 1, 2014 - AC Milan 1 - 1 Torino - Serie A Jan 26, 2014 - Torino 1 - 0 Atalanta - Serie A Jan 19, 2014 - Sassuolo 0 - 2 Torino - Serie A http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

I see Tevez more than my girlfriend - Llorente The Spain striker has revealed the strength of his friendship with his team-mate and believes it is helping their on-field partnership. Feb 22, 2014 Fernando Llorente says he spends more time with Juventus team-mate Carlos Tevez than his own girlfriend after striking up a firm friendship with the Argentine. http://markting10.nl/ Both players joined the Bianconeri last summer, from Athletic Bilbao and Manchester City respectively and have slowly begun to form a potent on-field partnership in Turin. Their understanding on the pitch has been aided by a blossoming bond between the pair and Llorente admits although they are very different, they could not get on better. The 28-year-old told Tuttosport: "We are both very different, but perhaps you need this to form a beautiful partnership. He is more aggressive than me, moves more, is smaller, you can see his desire to impress and score goals. http://markting10.nl/ "Off the field me and Tevez hang out a lot. We both are very family orientated, he has his wife and children, I have my girlfriend and parents when they come and see me. "The fact remains that between training sessions I spend more time with Tevez than I do my own girlfriend." http://markting10.nl/ Together, the two strikers have helped fire Juventus to a nine-point lead at the top of Serie A, with Llorente on 12 goals and Tevez 14 - as the Spaniard eyes clinching silverware in his maiden season at the club. "Our goal is to help the team win the championship and the Europa League. It's very difficult but we have to play every game as if it's our last."

JUVENTUS - TORINO February 23, 2014 - 6:30 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Nicola Rizzoli Tevez bites back at Immobile: I was defending Juventus The striker insists he does not hold a grudge against the Granata forward, who left the Argentine with ankle damage after September's Derby della Mole. Feb 22, 2014 Juventus forward Carlos Tevez has stressed he was not attempting to land Ciro Immobile in hot water by publishing photos of an injury inflicted by the Torino striker. http://markting10.nl/ Immobile was roundly criticised for a lunging challenge on Tevez in September's Derby della Mole that prompted the Argentine to post pictures of his damaged ankle online. Earlier this week, Immobile argued Tevez was trying to fan the flames of controversy by taking the matter onto Twitter, but Tevez insists he was simply hitting back at Torino supporters who were angry that he was not flagged offside prior to Paul Pogba's winning goal in the September encounter. "I didn't post them to go against him. It was nothing against Immobile," the former Manchester City striker told Sky Italia. http://markting10.nl/ "The problem was the Torino fans were angry at the offside goal and then I posted the photo. They always say referees are wrong in favour of Juventus, but I do not agree and wanted to show that sometimes things go against us. "I wasn't angry with Immobile; fouls are a part of football. But I was always against those who criticise Juventus for things that go in our favour." Juventus host Torino this Sunday in the second Derby della Mole of the season and Tevez feels Thursday's Europa League win over Trabzonspor will see the Bianconeri approach the game full of belief. http://markting10.nl/ "Our Europa League victory gives us a lot of confidence and we are happy with the result, even if it doesn't allow us to relax," he said. "The second leg holds dangers, so we must maintain a high level of concentration. The atmosphere in Turkey is always incandescent, so it won't be at all easy.

JUVENTUS - TORINO February 23, 2014 - 6:30 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Nicola Rizzoli Immobile: 'Tevez made me look bad' Feb 21, 2014 Torino striker Ciro Immobile blamed Carlos Tevez for being “treated like a killer” after he posted photos of his swollen ankle. http://markting10.nl/ The Derby della Mole is on Sunday at 17.30 GMT, click here for a match preview. In their last meeting, Immobile hacked down Tevez with a late tackle and the Juventus star posted a picture of the damage on Twitter, asking how it didn’t warrant a red card. “In all honesty, I was very disappointed to see those photographs, because it wasn’t nice towards me, regardless of the foul,” Immobile told Sky Sport Italia. http://markting10.nl/ “Tevez is a colleague and naturally I didn’t intend to hurt him. I certainly didn’t go into that challenge trying to break his ankle. “I was sad to see he posted those photos, because people started to treat me like a killer. If he hadn’t put those pictures up on Twitter, then it might not have happened.” It was also awkward for the clubs, as Immobile is a Juventus youth product who is still owned by the Bianconeri. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - TORINO February 23, 2014 - 6:30 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Nicola Rizzoli Immobile blames Tevez for derby controversy The prolific attacker feels that the Argentine should have refrained from publishing the picture of his injured ankle that saw him cop a lot of flak from fans and pundits. Feb 21, 2014 Torino striker Ciro Immobile has hit out at Juventus star Carlos Tevez for his role in the wave of criticism the 24-year-old received earlier this season after a foul on the Argentine attacker. http://markting10.nl/ The former Bianconeri forward was panned by fans and pundits alike following his reckless challenge in the Granata's derby defeat to their city rivals back in September. However, the forward feels things would not have got out of hand had Tevez resisted the urge to publish a picture of his injured ankle. "It was not a nice thing of him to do toward me to put that photo up on Twitter," Immobile told Sky Italia. http://markting10.nl/ "Just think about it: I never wanted to injure him. I'm not that kind of player. "He put up that photo and then it all kicked off. A lot of bad things happened and I was pictured as if I was some murderer. http://markting10.nl/ "He could have refrained from putting up that picture and all this would not have happened." Torino and Juventus meet again on Sunday in the second Derby della Mole of the season. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - TORINO February 23, 2014 - 6:30 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Nicola Rizzoli Glik: Juve have all the pressure Feb 21, 2014 Torino defender Kamil Glik claims that all the pressure is on Juventus ahead of the Derby della Mole this weekend. http://markting10.nl/ The Bianconeri host Il Toro in the Turin derby on Sunday, but the Poland international has insisted that it is the Old Lady who are expected to claim the three points, not his men. “We’ve had a normal week,” he told reporters. “We’ve been working tactically and mentally on doing well on Sunday. “We’re trying to think as little as possible about it being a derby because there is no pressure on us for this game. http://markting10.nl/ “We’re going through a good moment, but the best way to prepare is to treat it as any other game. “We have to stay focused because we don’t want the adrenaline of the derby to get the better of us.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - TORINO February 23, 2014 - 6:30 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Nicola Rizzoli ‘Juve are strong, but so are we’ Feb 21, 2014 Emiliano Moretti says that Torino hold Juventus in respect, but do not fear them ahead of this weekend’s derby. http://markting10.nl/ Il Toro travel out to the Juventus Stadium for Week 25’s clash on the Sunday evening in continued good form, but still the underdogs to the Bianconero League leaders. “We know that the task will not be simple, they are strong, both in their individuals and as a collective,” Moratti has conceded to Tuttosport on the fixture ahead. “But so are we, from July until now, we have been prepared to fight for the team. We will leave the field without regrets, as has been the way throughout the year. http://markting10.nl/ “Even against Bologna [when Torino lost 2-1], for example, we give it our all. Then, of course, some games go a certain way. “We are not worried, we must give the best of ourselves. Then, after the game, we will do the sums. “Conte? He is a hammer, and shows very well the difference between good players and champions - the latter are the first to arrive in the field and the last to leave.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - TORINO February 23, 2014 - 6:30 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Nicola Rizzoli Marchisio: No easy derby Feb 21, 2014 Claudio Marchisio has reflected that Juventus will face a strong Torino this weekend, to affirm his belief that ‘there are no easy derbies’. http://markting10.nl/ Il Toro visit the Bianconeri for the Derby della Mole in continued good form, sat seventh in the League. Whilst Juve are sitting several points ahead of the chasing pack at the top of the table, this weekend’s test will not be simple, according to their No 8. “Honestly, it is a different derby, they are a team that has a Coach who has given them an identity to their play, they have strengthened and it shows in the League,” Marchisio has told Mediaset in anticipation. http://markting10.nl/ “This is a derby that won’t be easy, and even if the others were easier, there has never been an easy derby. “Toro have been improving from year to year. It is going to be a tough and difficult match.” Marchisio was talking after Juve’s 2-0 home leg win over Trabzonspor in the Europa League. http://markting10.nl/ “The result gives us confidence even if we now face a heated atmosphere in the return leg. During the second half there was a slight physical decline, we have to play with our head. In the end we extended the lead, due to the amount of stoppage time. In the end that second goal arrived and has given us some tranquillity. “Now there will be more games, we will need everyone, everyone who is called into action will make their own contribution in the coming games. “Those who play less? There could be a little tension to begin with, when you play less. The guys have confidence. We always try to give our best, then the performance may be good or bad.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 2 - 0 TRABZONSPOR Pablo Daniel Osvaldo (16′) Paul Pogba (90+4′) February 20, 2014 - 7:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Aleksei Kulbakov (Belarus) Marchisio: Tevez is vital for Juventus The Italy international has nothing but praise for the former Manchester City striker, claiming that the Argentine leads from the front with his "never-say-die spirit". Feb 21, 2014 Claudio Marchisio has underlined the importance of Carlos Tevez for Juventus in the wake of their 2-0 Europa League win over Trabzonspor on Thursday evening. http://markting10.nl/ The Argentine attacker was involved in both of the Serie A champions' goals as they cruised to victory in the first leg of their round-of-32 tie with the Turkish outfit, and Marchisio was quick to stress that Tevez is an example to follow for his team-mates. "Carlos didn’t let up even for a second and he won the ball back to lay [the second goal] on a plate for Paul Pogba," Marchisio was quoted as saying on the official Juventus website. "As well as being a very talented player, he’s important to the team because he leads from the front with his constant never-say-die spirit." http://markting10.nl/ Marchisio then went on to admit that Juventus struggled toward the end of the game in Turin but that he was delighted with the resilience shown by Antonio Conte's men. "At one point we were hoping the final whistle would blow as quick as possible because it was becoming a bit nervy," the Italy international confessed. http://markting10.nl/ "But instead we went on to score the second goal in those five minutes of added time. It’s given us a bit more breathing space for the away leg." The return is scheduled to take place on February 27.

JUVENTUS 2 - 0 TRABZONSPOR Pablo Daniel Osvaldo (16′) Paul Pogba (90+4′) February 20, 2014 - 7:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Aleksei Kulbakov (Belarus) Conte: 'A good result' Feb 20, 2014 Antonio Conte explained his squad rotation and noted beating Trabzonspor 2-0 was “a good result” in the Europa League. http://markting10.nl/ Daniel Osvaldo and Paul Pogba got the goals in the first leg victory in Turin. “The 2-0 is certainly a good result going into the second leg,” the Coach told Sport Mediaset. “We had several scoring opportunities, but either we were imprecise or their goalkeeper did well. Trabzonspor had finished ahead of Lazio in the group phase, so were not to be underestimated. http://markting10.nl/ “We did well, but there is still another game to play. We got too stretched out in the second half when pushing hard for another goal, risking something at the back by fielding three strikers. “I needed a response and I got it on the field, because if we want to carry on in two competitions then we need everyone,” continued Conte. “I looked at the fixture list and, in the most optimistic reading, we’d play 16 games in 52 days. That would destroy players if I always used the same ones. We have to involve the entire squad and try to help those who haven’t played as much get their match fitness. http://markting10.nl/ “I don’t know any other way of going forward.” Among his changes tonight, Conte introduced Mauricio Isla and Federico Peluso on the wings. “We had to make more of the right flank, but in the second half I preferred to introduce another striker to risk something.” http://markting10.nl/ Sebastian Giovinco was given a warm welcome as a substitute just days after Conte raged at the crowd for jeering him. “I had no doubts on how he would be greeted. The Juventus fans love their players. He did well on the field today, helping his teammates. All Juventus players must be supported by the fans.”

JUVENTUS 2 - 0 TRABZONSPOR Pablo Daniel Osvaldo (16′) Paul Pogba (90+4′) February 20, 2014 - 7:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Aleksei Kulbakov (Belarus) Conte: Juve could have scored several goals The Bianconeri took a massive step towards the last 16 of the Europa League thanks to Pablo Osvaldo and Paul Pogba, much to the delight of their coach. Feb 20, 2014 Juventus boss Antonio Conte believes his team could have scored several more goals in Thursday's 2-0 victory over Trabzonspor. http://markting10.nl/ On-loan striker Pablo Daniel Osvaldo opened the scoring early in the first half but it took until the 94th minute for the Scudetto holders to grab a second, through midfielder Paul Pogba. The win means they hold the upper hand going into the return leg of the last-32 tie in Turkey, but Conte was concerned with how stretched his team looked in the second half and says fitness concerns caused him to rotate his line-up. "A 2-0 win is certainly a good result going into the second leg," the Juve trainer told Mediaset Premium. http://markting10.nl/ "We had several scoring opportunities, but either we weren't accurate enough or their goalkeeper did well. Trabzonspor had finished ahead of Lazio in the group phase, so they weren't to be underestimated. "We did well, but there is still another game to play. We got too stretched out in the second half when pushing hard for another goal, risking conceding by fielding three strikers. http://markting10.nl/ "I looked at the fixture list and, in the most optimistic reading, we’d play 16 games in 52 days. That would destroy players if I always used the same ones. "We have to involve the entire squad and try to help those who haven’t played as much get their match fitness.
