ATALANTA 1 - 4 JUVENTUS Carlos Tévez (6′) Maximiliano Moralez (15′) Paul Pogba (46′) Fernando Llorente (75′) Arturo Vidal (79′) December 22, 2013 - 3:00 PM Atleti azzurri d'Italia Stadium — Bergamo Referee: Domenico Celi Attendance:‬ 14000‎ Player Ratings Goal took in the action in Bergamo, where the Bianconeri romped to a ninth straight win in comprehensive fashion to enter the winter break in supreme form. Dec 22, 2013 ATALANTA Andrea Consigli - Though he saved well from Tevez, he could have done better for at least one of Juve's goals. Cristian Raimondi - Defended energetically, and had a few positive moments when he looked to overlap down the right hand side. Giulio Migliaccio - Tried his hardest to keep up with Tevez and for many spells during the game, he stifled the Argentine. However, the occasional slip ups were noticeable. Guglielmo Stendardo - Tracked many of the runs forward from the likes of Llorente, but in the end he could not stop the Juve machine. Cristiano Del Grosso - Did a decent job defensively, but never got forward in a convincing manner. Giacomo Bonaventura - Looked threatening from out wide in the early exchanges and put in a great cross for Moralez to score. Luca Cigarini - Responsible for most of the positive moments in attack for the home side after their goal, making a few dangerous runs from deep. However, it was not a consistent threat. Carlos Carmona - Pulled off a number of tackles as he managed to keep the likes of Vidal at bay for long stretches. However, fatigue began to catch up with him in the latter stages. Davide Brivio - Like many of his team-mates he started well, but could not sustain it for long. Nothing more than average out wide. Maximiliano Moralez - Pounced to score an early equaliser for the home side, but he could not build on that positivity, and ended the game on the periphery. Germán Denis - Starved for service, Atalanta's main man was hardly a factor throughout the game, but he still worked very hard to chase down lost causes and put pressure on the centre-backs. http://markting10.nl/ Substitutions Riccardo Cazzola - Did not make any impact on the game in his relatively short cameo. Marko Livaja - Could not supply or receive any good service, and as a result was stymied. http://markting10.nl/ JUVENTUS Gianluigi Buffon - Could not help Moralez's goal and handled his other routine tasks well. Andrea Barzagli - Like the rest of the defensive trio, he went about his business with minimal fuss. Leonardo Bonucci - Never looked like being beaten, as he took care of whatever came his way. Giorgio Chiellini - Blocked his fair share of shots and looked assured repelling the occasional bursts of pressure from the opposition. Stephan Lichtsteiner - Relatively timid in the first half, but began to showcase himself as more of an attacking outlet in the second period. Paul Pogba - Powerful as usual in the middle and got forward at just the right moment to slot Juve into a second half lead that they would never relinquish. Claudio Marchisio - Never quite found the time and space to get involved in attack in his usual manner. His runs were often checked and he did not attempt much more than safety first passes. Arturo Vidal - Was having a fairly quiet game by his standards up until the last 10 minutes, when he was in the right place at the right time to stab home a fourth goal. Kwadwo Asamoah - Successful in many of the overlapping runs that he attempted, and did not shirk from his defensive responsibilities for one second, making some key interceptions. Carlos Tévez - Opened the scoring with an opportunistic finish and occasionally provided some great link up play with Llorente around the box. Fernando Llorente - Muscled in an assist for Pogba's goal, before getting on the scoresheet himself with a deft move and finish to put Juve out of reach. http://markting10.nl/ Substitutions Simone Padoin - Came on with the game already on ice. Fabio Quagliarella - One or two nice touches in his short cameo appearance. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

ATALANTA 1 - 4 JUVENTUS Carlos Tévez (6′) Maximiliano Moralez (15′) Paul Pogba (46′) Fernando Llorente (75′) Arturo Vidal (79′) December 22, 2013 - 3:00 PM Atleti azzurri d'Italia Stadium — Bergamo Referee: Domenico Celi Attendance:‬ 14000‎ Initial reaction and random observations Dec 22, 2013 In a relatively interesting development, Juventus manager Antonio Conte rolled out of the dressing room sporting his favorite hat to protect himself from the elements. Turns out, Conte's hat turned into a makeshift rally cap for his team coming out of the halftime break. http://markting10.nl/ Second-half goals from Paul Pogba, Fernando Llorente and Arturo Vidal sent Juventus into the winter break in style with a 4-1 thumping of Atalanta on Sunday in Bergamo. Four goals in back-to-back league games. Not a bad way to close out 2013, guys. And with the the win, Juve were able to keep their plus-5 advantage atop the Serie A table. Pretty good Sunday, I'd say. JuventusFC ✔ @juventusfcen Llorente: It was a really tough game because Atalanta are a strong side, especially at home. http://markting10.nl/ The lone blemish in what was an otherwise productive day: Maxi Moralez's 15th-minute goal put an end to Juve's long shutout streak, keeping Gigi Buffon from making even more history in his legendary career. But something tells me that Buffon will take the three points as a consolation gift a few days before Christmas. And after that goal, especially in the second half, Juve's defense put the clamp down on a Atalanta attack that was looking quite solid in the first 45 minutes on Sunday. OptaPaolo @OptaPaolo 745 - Gianluigi Buffon has conceded a goal in the league after being unbeaten for 745 mins - he's now 6th in the all-time Serie A. Moralez. http://markting10.nl/ Rinse and repeat. Nine straight wins in a row for Conte's squad and now it's all eyes focused solely on the game coming out of the holiday break. Methinks the first game of 2014 is a rather important one. Feel free to agree. Random thoughts and observations • The Carlos Tevez goal tally is now at 11 on the season after he recorded the opening goal on Sunday. If he was around last season, he'd officially finish as Juve's leading scorer. But since he obviously wasn't, we can only point out that Tevez has now scored one more goal than both of Juve's top scorers — Vidal and Mirko Vucinic — did a year ago. And there's still over half the season to go. Stay hot, Carlitos. http://markting10.nl/ • After a couple of relatively quiet games, Llorente was back to doing Llorente things. An assist on Pogba's eventual game-winner and then a wonderfully taken strike from inside the penalty area to put the game away at 3-1. He will almost always be involved in the build up play because that's what he does. But this was a game, even with some of the frustrations that came in the final third, that Llorente's contributions made a huge difference. • Giorgio Chiellini might very well be the most awkward player ever when he comes out of the defense and tries to contribute to the attack. And yet, despite all of that, he got an assist on Llorente's goal. This game is a funny thing sometimes — and so is watching Chiellini charge up the field when he tries to channel his inner left winger. • Claudio Marchisio slotted into the Andrea Pirlo-like regista role after Pogba began the game there. That marks the second time in less than a week that Il Principino has been deployed as the holding midfielder in the center of the park. As somebody once said to me, "Your thoughts?" http://markting10.nl/ • For all the good that came with Juventus scoring four goals, it wasn't exactly like they were firing at will for good portions of the match. There were a good number of shoulda-coulda-woulda moments, most notably Tevez's 1-on-1 with Atalanta keeper Andrea Consigli that somehow ended with no shot on goal. Juventus definitely should have finished with more than 16 total shots against Atalanta. But then again, when you score four goals and every shot on goal hits the back of the net, I guess it's okay to forgive them a little bit. • You see Stephan Lichtsteiner's cross on Vidal's goal? Juve need to do that more often. Dangerous. http://markting10.nl/ • You see Marchisio screaming at the top of his lungs at Pogba after Atalanta's goal? That was awesome. • Let the Roma talk officially begin. Jan. 5 — and the chance for 10 straight Serie A wins — can't get here soon enough http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

ATALANTA 1 - 4 JUVENTUS Carlos Tévez (6′) Maximiliano Moralez (15′) Paul Pogba (46′) Fernando Llorente (75′) Arturo Vidal (79′) December 22, 2013 - 3:00 PM Atleti azzurri d'Italia Stadium — Bergamo Referee: Domenico Celi Attendance:‬ 14000‎ Juve make it nine wins in a row, Marchisio slots into Pirlo role Dec 22, 2013 Conceding a goal after so many games made it exciting, at least temporarily, as it looked liked Juventus might be facing a challenge. Alas, Atalanta could barely control the superior talent of their opponents and the Bianconeri went on to score three more to finish the match 4-1. Another week and yet another victory for Antonio Conte's men, who look simply unstoppable in the league. http://markting10.nl/ On paper, this looked to be an uneven contest between the two sides. Whilst Juventus can't stop winning, Atalanta haven't won a match since early November. They are a team that struggle to create or score and going into the match, only Genoa had attempted fewer shots on goal then the Orobici. Defensively, they work well together and limit the spaces available to the opponent, even if they tend to concede a few too many shots. Nonetheless, coach Stefano Colantuono has created a good team ethic. His players play with determination and a certain rhythm that has seen them snatch points in big games. Their passing may not be the most accurate, but they take the chances afforded to them and honour the shirt they don. An easy challenge on paper, it took Juventus only five minutes to demonstrate it was an easy challenge in reality too. A beautiful shot from outside the box by Carlos Tevez gave the away side an excellent start to the game -- that was until Maxi Moralez dealt the Old Lady and their remarkable clean-sheet record a blow by scoring the equaliser only 10 minutes later. http://markting10.nl/ A Juventus fan as a child, Giacomo Bonaventura made a beautiful run in the box, evading all Bianconeri defenders in his way to deliver the ball for Maximiliano Moralez to shoot and score. The goal stunned the Old Lady, a team that had forgotten what it felt like to concede a goal in domestic fixtures and it took them some time to settle back to their dominating ways. However, the home side did well defensively, flooding their box with bodies to severely hinder Juve's intricate play in the final third. Sadly for the home fans, 45 minutes of good play was all Atalanta could muster as Juventus well and truly dominated, controlled and exhibited their superiority in the second half. Colantuono attempted to provoke a reaction from his side by throwing on more attacking players, but it's difficult to continue to believe in a win when faced with a side that has so many options going forward. Even Arturo Vidal and Fernando Llorente, who played below their usual level, managed a goal each. Interestingly, Conte opted to play Claudio Marchisio in the regista role, sitting deep and picking out passes. Many journalists, fans and even this blog have wondered who out of Juve's midfielders would be the best placed to take on that role in Andrea Pirlo's absence. Today, questions were answered. http://markting10.nl/ Once again Paul Pogba showed how important he can be to the side when played further forward. This is a man who delights in his ability to keep possession and dribble forward, turn and shoot. Moreover, his athletic stature allows him to get the better of defenders and reach the ball first to score, much like he did with Juve's second goal of the game. Played deep, Conte risks sacrificing the youngster's greatest qualities. Played further forward and the Frenchman excels in raising the team's level of attacking play. Meanwhile, Vidal with his consistent determination to win back possession high up the pitch, coupled with his non-stop scoring, means he should always be allowed to push forward. Playing him deeper means losing his defensive capabilities in that final third as well as the most prolific goalscorer under Conte's tutelage. Marchisio in that 'Pirlo' role just might be the perfect solution. The attributes of his teammates aside, Il Principino is one of the most tactically intelligent players within the Juve ranks and his ability to interpret different roles further demonstrates his importance to the side. Whether played out wide on the left, right, deep or just behind the striker, Marchisio can and does make it work to the best of his ability. Evidently this is not his best position and yet the Bianconero did well to break up play, keep his passing tidy and look forward. http://markting10.nl/ Unfortunately, this season he has struggled to find the back of the net despite his ability to expose and occupy gaps in the final third. Moreover, there seems to be a reluctance to pass him the ball when he does position himself well in the box. Thus playing him deeper not only makes the most of his tactical intelligence but also allows his more effective teammates the opportunity to express themselves in an attacking sense. Nine consecutive wins for the Old Lady and only one goal conceded. Regardless of what happens against Roma at the start of the new year, it's obvious Juve are Italy's best team and that is not simply based on results, but on the quality of their play. Few boast that kind of fluidity and the ability to maintain consistency, even when the squad is rotated. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

ATALANTA 1 - 4 JUVENTUS Carlos Tévez (6′) Maximiliano Moralez (15′) Paul Pogba (46′) Fernando Llorente (75′) Arturo Vidal (79′) December 22, 2013 - 3:00 PM Atleti azzurri d'Italia Stadium — Bergamo Referee: Domenico Celi Attendance:‬ 14000‎ Dominant second half secures comfortable win for the Bianconeri Dec 22, 2013 Juventus beat Atalanta 4-1 at the Stadio Atleti Azurri d’Italia on Sunday afternoon in the Serie A. http://markting10.nl/ An early goal from Carlos Tevez sent the Bianconeri in front before Maxi Moralez equalized for La Dea to make the halftime-score 1-1. Second half strikes from Paul Pogba, Fernando Llorente and Arturo Vidal secured the win for the away side. Juventus would find themselves in first-place in Serie A at Christmas, regardless of today’s result. They did though have the chance to move further away from third-placed Napoli, who had played out to a draw with Cagliari on Saturday. The home team, on the other hand, found themselves in mid-table before the match and were looking to increase the 4-point distance they had down to the relegation spots. In the latest round, Tevez nicked a hat trick against Sassuolo and after just six minutes of this game, Tevez was on the spot again. The Argentine sent a flat shot into the far side of the goal in a situation where Atalanta-keeper, Andrea Consigli, didn’t look too good. http://markting10.nl/ It did not take long, however, before home team had equalized. After 15 minutes, Giacomo Bonaventura sent a pass backwards in the penalty area to find Maxi Moralez, who put the ball past Gianluigi Buffon. On the half hour, Juventus came close once again when Pogba headed the ball down just in front of Consigli’s goal, but Tevez could’t quite arrive to put it in the net. The Argentine would get the chance again a few minutes before half-time when he found himself alone with Consigli who, however, did well to read Tevez’ intentions and knock the ball away. Just one minute had passed in the second half before Juventus were in front again. Llorente found Pogba in the box and the Frenchman didn’t have much trouble bagging his fifth goal of the season. It wasn’t enough for the Bianconeri who kept pressing for a third goal, while the home side had difficulty getting any offensive play going. http://markting10.nl/ Juventus’s domination would pay off after 75 minutes when Llorente put them up 3-1. Giorgio Chiellini drove the ball forward and found the Spaniard, who cheated Giulio Migliaccio with a nice move before putting the ball past Consigli. The away side would go 4-1 up as well when Stephan Lichtsteiner sent a ball into the small area where Vidal stood ready to put it in the net. As a sign of Juventus’s domination, Atalanta first real effort on goal in the second half didn’t come until the 84th minute when a German Denis header was saved by Buffon. Atalanta searched for a consolation goal in the final minutes, but result remained 4-1 for Juventus at full-time. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

However, Atalanta pressed forward and scored the equaliser on 15 minutes. Paul Pogba and Kwadwo Asamoah both failed to contain Giacomo Bonaventura on the right and the midfielder set up Maximiliano Moralez to slam home from close range. Maximiliano Morales of Atalanta celebrates the equlising goal during the Serie A match between Atalanta BC and Juventus at Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia on December 22, 2013 http://markting10.nl/ Tevez and Fernando Llorente had chances in quick succession in the following minutes, but both failed to keep their respective attempts on target. Then on 20 minutes Pogba struck the Atalanta crossbar but the referee had already blown the whistle for a offside infringement. Carlos Carmona tried to hit back for the home side, but it was Juve who had the better chances as the first half progressed, with Tevez going close on a couple of occasions. http://markting10.nl/ Pogba redeemed himself for his part in the Atalanta goal in the first minute of the second half, as he shot home with his left foot after being released by Llorente. The Frenchman had another good chance just minutes later, but this time he dragged his shot wide of the target. http://markting10.nl/ Despite Atalanta's spirited performance, they failed to stop Llorente from scoring Juventus's third goal of the afternoon on 75 minutes as the Spanish striker latched onto Giorgio Chiellini's pass, turned past Giulio Migliaccio and shot home. Arturo Vidal added the icing on the cake four minutes later, turning in Stephan Lichtsteiner's cross from just yards out. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

ATALANTA 1 - 4 JUVENTUS Carlos Tévez (6′) Maximiliano Moralez (15′) Paul Pogba (46′) Fernando Llorente (75′) Arturo Vidal (79′) December 22, 2013 - 3:00 PM Atleti azzurri d'Italia Stadium — Bergamo Referee: Domenico Celi Attendance:‬ 14000‎ Juve stay five points clear Dec 22, 2013 Juventus maintained their five-point advantage at the top of Serie A with their ninth win in a row as they secured a 4-1 triumph at Atalanta. http://markting10.nl/ Carlos Tevez put the Bianconeri in front in the sixth minute but Maximiliano Moralez became the first player in over seven matches to beat Gianluigi Buffon to bring Atalanta level 10 minutes later. Paul Pogba restored Juve's lead early in the second half with Fernando Llorente and Arturo Vidal completing the win. Juve have been going - Champions League apart - like an express train recently, winning their last eight and not conceding in their last seven, and Bergamo was not a scheduled stop. http://markting10.nl/ It stood to reason, therefore, that Tevez put them in front with their first attack, netting his 11th goal of the season after only six minutes. Vidal's pass took a fortunate deflection to fall for the Argentinian, who held off his marker well and shot low from the edge of the area into the bottom left-hand corner. Their lead lasted less than 10 minutes, though, before Buffon conceded his first goal after 744 minutes. http://markting10.nl/ Giacomo Bonaventura took the ball to the goal-line and pulled it back for Moralez, whose shot towards the far corner took a slight deflection, striking the inside of the post on its way in. Ten minutes later, Carmona tried his luck from 35 yards, hoping somehow that Buffon could now be beaten from anywhere having finally conceded, yet he failed to hit the target. Juve ended the half stronger with Claudio Marchisio lifting an interesting ball to the far post to Pogba, who found no takers for his header across the face of goal. Tevez then tried a lob which cleared the bar from the edge of the penalty area. http://markting10.nl/ Less than a minute of the second half had been played when Pogba put Juve in front for the second time. Kwadwo Asamoah's cross was touched town by Llorente, and Pogba swept it into the far corner with his left foot. Atalanta collapsed as Juve finally gathered momentum, and a third goal was inevitable. http://markting10.nl/ Giorgio Chiellini was allowed to advance with the ball at his feet, deep into the Atalanta half, where he passed the responsibility to Llorente, who made it look easy inside the penalty area. Five minutes later, Vidal got his obligatory goal too, tucking the ball in at the far post from Stephan Lichtsteiner's cross to complete the rout. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Juventus lost their clean sheet after 744 minutes of Serie A football, but still beat Atalanta for a ninth straight victory. Dec 22, 2013 The Bianconeri had won their last eight Serie A games without conceding and visited an Atalanta side who hadn’t won in four. However, the Stadio Azzurri d’Italia had also not been conquered in five games, taking points off the likes of Inter and Roma here. Andrea Pirlo and Mirko Vucinic were still sidelined, while the hosts missed Mario Yepes, Cristian Raimondi, Stefano Lucchini and Gianpaolo Bellini. http://markting10.nl/ Juve are unbeaten in this fixture since a 2-1 result in February 2001, earning seven victories and a draw, and have won their last six meetings with Atalanta, home and away. Atalanta wore a new red Christmas-themed shirt and the snow and rain in Bergamo added to the atmosphere. It took just six minutes for Juve to break the deadlock, as Carlos Tevez skipped away from defenders to shoot with his right foot from the edge of the box and Andrea Consigli got a hand to it, but not enough to keep the ball out of the bottom corner. http://markting10.nl/ Atalanta equalised with Maxi Moralez, the first goal the Bianconeri had conceded in 744 minutes of Serie A football. The little Argentine gathered the pull-back and his shot went in off the inside of the upright. Consigli intercepted a dangerous Kwadwo Asamoah cross that Fernando Llorente was about to tap in, while Paul Pogba hit the crossbar only after a push on Guglielmo Stendardo. A Carlos Carmona screamer was just wide, then Tevez got between defenders and Consigli had to flap the ball away in the six-yard box. http://markting10.nl/ Tevez sprung the offside trap to go clear on goal, but Consigli did just about enough to send him wide and the chance went begging. Juventus restored their advantage straight after the restart. Llorente knocked down an Asamoah cross for Pogba, who turned in from six yards. http://markting10.nl/ Claudio Marchisio blasted over the bar, but Llorente secured the victory when he gathered from Giorgio Chiellini and turned Migliaccio inside out to score. Arturo Vidal added his name to the scoresheet when meeting a Stephan Lichtsteiner ball across the six-yard box. http://markting10.nl/ ATALANTA: Consigli; Raimondi (Kone 87), Migliaccio, Stendardo, Del Grosso (Cazzola 68); Bonaventura (Livaja 68), Cigarini, Carmona, Brivio; Moralez, Denis JUVENTUS: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal (Padoin 81), Pogba (Peluso 82), Marchisio, Asamoah; Tevez (Quagliarella 81), Llorente Ref: Celi http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Dec 22, 2013 Juventus romped to their ninth straight win as they brushed Atalanta aside with a 4-1 win on Sunday afternoon. http://markting10.nl/ It was another professional performance from the Serie A leaders, who maintained their 12-year league unbeaten run against the Bergamo club to stay five points clear of Roma. Juve opened the scoring inside the first five minutes when Carlos Tevez scored his fourth goal in his last two league games. But Atalanta levelled shortly after when Maximiliano Moralez became the first Serie A player to score against Gianluigi Buffon in 745 minutes of football. But any hopes an Atalanta victory were quashed in the second half, with Paul Pogba restoring their advantage just a minute after the break. http://markting10.nl/ And the champions made sure of all three points in the last 15 minutes with goals from Fernando Llorente and Arturo Vidal as their ominous form continued. Experienced defender Guglielmo Stendardo came into the Atalanta defence as one of three changes from their 1-1 draw with Genoa, while Claudio Marchisio and Stephan Lichtsteiner started for Juve in place of Mauricio Isla and Federico Peluso. Juve made a bright start and took the lead after just five minutes as Tevez's low strike from the edge of the area snuck past Atalanta goalkeeper Andrea Consigli. http://markting10.nl/ The visitors' lead was short-lived though, as Moralez levelled nine minutes later when he slotted home from close range following good work down the right from Giacomo Bonaventura. Despite that setback, the Turin outfit continued to dictate the play, but they were prevented from retaking the lead on the half-hour mark when Consigli produced a superb stop to keep out a near-post effort from Tevez. However, just a minute into the second half the champions were back in front thanks to Pogba's neat finish after Llorente had smartly turned Kwadwo Asamoah's left-wing cross into his path. http://markting10.nl/ Atalanta struggled to gain a foothold in the contest and were fortunate not to fall further behind midway through the second period as Tevez's free-kick was deflected narrowly wide of the post. The pressure from Antonio Conte's men told 15 minutes from time, when Spain striker Llorente turned smartly in the area before firing past Consigli and into the bottom corner. The Turin giants refused to take their foot of the gas and the fourth goal came only four minutes later as Vidal tapped in Lichtsteiner's low delivery to put the gloss on a comfortable win. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Marotta explains Conte silence Dec 22, 2013 Antonio Conte refused to speak to the media, but director Beppe Marotta confessed Radja Nainggolan is “ideal for Juventus.” http://markting10.nl/ The Coach did not hold a Press conference before the 4-1 victory away to Atalanta and left journalists waiting after the final whistle too. He is protesting at his name again being mentioned in the latest chapter of the Calcioscommesse match-fixing scandal. “It is the duty of a club to support its Coach and help him to stay calm,” explained director Marotta on Sky Sport Italia. http://markting10.nl/ “He is bitter because his name gets dragged through the mud every time there is a new development in the Calcioscommesse investigation, despite the fact he has already paid a heavy price. He doesn’t want to keep answering the same questions on something that is far behind him.” The Bianconeri conceded a goal after 744 minutes of football, but still dominated the second half to win 4-1 in Bergamo. “We must not look at our five-point advantage from second place, as instead the consistency or results and performances are more important. Atalanta fought back quickly, but then over time Juve deserved the victory. http://markting10.nl/ “This is a solid group with real determination. We were built to win, adding important elements each year, and I must say today Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez made their mark.” Marotta was asked about the January transfer window, as Mirko Vucinic has been linked with a move to England, while Juve are among those chasing Cagliari midfielder Nainggolan. “Mirko is still recovering from a knee injury. If someone wants to leave then they will be allowed to go, but so far we have not heard any such sentiment expressed. http://markting10.nl/ “As for Nainggolan, he is a great player and one that is ideal for Conte’s Juventus philosophy. We have a good rapport with Cagliari, so we’ll see what happens. “Would his arrival mean selling Arturo Vidal? No, at least for this season no big names will be leaving.”

The Bianconeri are soaring away at the top of the table after winning their last eight games with clean sheets. History looks kindly upon Antonio Conte’s men, who have earned seven victories and a draw since their last defeat in Bergamo back in 2001. http://markting10.nl/ They have also won their last six meetings with Atalanta, home and away in all competition. The conditions may well bring back memories of Istanbul, as snow and rain are expected in Bergamo. Andrea Pirlo and Mirko Vucinic are still sidelined, as Carlos Tevez again partners Fernando Llorente in attack. http://markting10.nl/ Atalanta are without a win in four, but it’s also worth noting they have a strong record on home turf. They are unbeaten in Bergamo in their last five and have already taken points off Inter and Roma here this season. There are still problems for Coach Stefano Colantuono, who must do without Stefano Lucchini, Gianpaolo Bellini, Mario Yepes and Cristian Raimondi. http://markting10.nl/ Giacomo Bonaventura, Lionel Scaloni and Michele Canini are also carrying knocks.

On paper there is absolutely no chance for the Bergamo club, who are without a victory in five rounds and face a Juve side who have won their last eight in a row without conceding a single goal. “We are facing the strongest side in Serie A, but I have already told my players that in life anything is possible, so let us give it a go,” explained Coach Colantuono. http://markting10.nl/ “Juventus have the best club organisation, the best squad and the best Coach. They are superior in every way. “I am not surprised they keep on winning, as they are doing even better than last season and only they can lose the Scudetto now. Knowing Antonio Conte, they won’t be relaxed today. “Don’t forget people assumed we’d lose against Roma too, yet we were beating them until the final minutes. Of course the Bianconeri are superior, but we have to play well and hope for the best. http://markting10.nl/ “I also don’t agree with those who say we have nothing to lose. Every point counts and the team knows that.” Colantuono hinted at a “change of system” to the 3-5-2 because of injury problems for Lionel Scaloni and Michele Canini. Atalanta squad for Juventus: Baselli, Bonaventura, Brienza, Brivio, Canini, Carmona, Cazzola, Cigarini, Consigli, De Luca, Del Grosso, Denis, Gagliardini, Giorgi, Kone, Livaja, Marilungo, Migliaccio, Moralez, Polito, Raimondi, Scaloni, Sportiello, Stendardo http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

ATALANTA - JUVENTUS December 22, 2013 - 3:00 PM Atleti azzurri d'Italia Stadium — Bergamo Referee: Domenico Celi Juventus vs. Atalanta Preview: Round 17 — Christmas party in Bergamo? Dec 21, 2013 All that stands between Juventus and a relaxing Christmas vacation is a trip to Bergamo to play Atalanta. One game. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. The winter break is almost upon us, ladies and gentlemen. http://markting10.nl/ Sure, there's a game come Sunday afternoon in Bergamo against Atalanta, but IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS!!!! Juventus look to shut the door on a month that can be described as an roller coaster both in terms of flat out emotions and success on the field in two completely different ways and competitions. The Serie A winning streak has remained intact, but the Champions League exit has certainly dominated the discussion surrounding Juve ever since that stupid, stupid trip to Istanbul. http://markting10.nl/ But even with that happening, Antonio Conte has seen his team just continue to win when it comes to domestic action. They've resembled the Juventus of Conte's previous seasons — shutout win after shutout win, three points after three points. One win after another has seen Juve shoot right past Roma and reclaim their spot as Serie A's top dogs. It's been the perfect response you wanted to see after the 4-2 shocker at the hands of Fiorentina two months ago. I guess, when it comes to trying to win a third straight league title, that's all you can ask for. http://markting10.nl/ GOOD NEWS A Juventus winning streak update: Eight games, eight clean sheets. Because of this, Juve once again have the best goal differential in Serie A at plus-25. This has been a Juventus winning streak update. Thank you. http://markting10.nl/ BAD NEWS Andrea Pirlo will probably be hanging back in Turin and drinking wine when Juventus vs. Atalanta kicks off tomorrow afternoon. That's not exactly something I wanted to type, even though Pirlo loves him some vino during his spare time. WHAT TO WATCH FOR 1. Juventus being able to carry their momentum into the winter break. Why has Juventus been able to win eight straight Serie A games? Well, it's pretty simple, really. They've gone back to what's made them champions in the past under Conte — very good defense, lots of pressure on the opposition, and the goals have followed. Three points have followed in those eight consecutive wins because of it, and it's the reason why Juve are back atop the table with a five-point lead entering the final weekend of 2013. Or, to put it simply: Just keep the train rolling, fellas. http://markting10.nl/ 2. Where Kwadwo Asamoah plays. In the past two games, ;we've seen Asamoah go back to his roots. That would be as a central midfielder, not a wingback like where Conte has utilized him since arriving from Udinese two summers ago. The question entering the final game of 2013 is a simple one when it comes to Asamoah: Where the heck is he going to play? He's done well in his return to the center of the midfield, albeit it's a small sample size. That isn't much of a surprise, though, considering it's where he made a name for himself to begin with. The thing that Conte has to consider is this: Which is better, playing Asamoah as a wingback and an out-of-form Claudio Marchisio in the center, or Asamoah in the center and somebody else on the left wing? We'll see. http://markting10.nl/ 3. Who plays left wingback if Asamoah is in the center of the midfield? It's a big 'What if' in the grand scheme of things. Say Asamoah plays as a wingback himself, then this whole thing is a moot point. But for the sake of being a total speculator, we'll talk about who might play if Asamoah does in fact play in the cetner of the midfield. The options, Federico Peluso and Paolo De Ceglie, aren't the players that Asamoah is. We've known that ever since Asamoah became the starting left wingback, so this isn't any kind of breaking news. http://markting10.nl/ 4. Controlling Germán Denis. I like to think of Denis as a pest, even though he's not the same kind of pocket-sized pest as somebody like Sebastian Giovinco. Denis is good at what he does — and for him, that means scoring goals. Since coming to Atalanta, he's scored a goal every other game. That's a pretty good tally for somebody who isn't all that heralded as much when compared to other strikers in Italy. But he is a threat, there's no doubt about it. And as the target man in Atalanta's attack, they're going to be looking to not only give him the ball as much as possible, but as many chances in front of goal as they can. http://markting10.nl/ 5. If Carlos Tevez can build off his hat trick. And by 'build,' I mean continue scoring goals. Why? Because I like when Carlos Tevez scores goals. When it comes to Serie A, Tevez has already scored as many goals as Arturo Vidal and Mirko Vucinic did to lead Juventus all of last season. DId I mention the 2013-14 campaign still has 22 games to go entering the weekend? Yeah, 10 goals for Carlitos in 16 games is quite the impressive tally for a guy who is completely new to life in Italy. Champions League struggles aside, Tevez has clearly been what Conte wanted in a striker. And there's no doubting he's delivered. http://markting10.nl/ My starting XI (3-5-2): Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pogba, Asamoah, De Ceglie; Llorente, Tevez http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111
