ROMA - JUVENTUS January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Line-ups: Roma-Juventus Jan 21, 2014 Roma and Juventus go head-to-head again tonight, but this time in the Coppa Italia quarter-final at the Stadio Olimpico. http://markting10.nl/ It kicks off at 20.45 CET and is an opportunity for revenge after the Giallorossi lost 3-0 in Turin during their recent Serie A encounter. Roma certainly seem to be taking this more seriously, particularly as they are in Europe, so the Coppa Italia is their best chance at silverware this season. Francesco Totti, Gervinho and Alessandro Florenzi complete the starting trident, supported by Kevin Strootman, Radja Nainggolan and Daniele De Rossi, as Miralem Pjanic is not 100 per cent fit. http://markting10.nl/ Federico Balzaretti is still unavailable due to injury, but Douglas Maicon returns after he was rested in Saturday’s 3-0 victory over Livorno. Antonio Conte prefers to rotate his squad for this Coppa Italia fixture, giving Fabio Quagliarella and Sebastian Giovinco the opportunity to shine in attack. Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal are still in the midfield, while it is the first choice defence, but Marco Storari as always replaces Gigi Buffon in goal. http://markting10.nl/ Mauricio Isla and Federico Peluso are the wingers in a 3-5-2 system. The referee for this delicate encounter is Paolo Tagliavento. http://markting10.nl/ ROMA: De Sanctis; Maicon, Benatia, Castan, Torosidis; Nainggolan, De Rossi, Strootman; Florenzi, Totti, Gervinho JUVENTUS: Storari; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Isla, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Peluso; Quagliarella, Giovinco

ROMA - JUVENTUS January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Nainggolan: 'Roma, prove ourselves' Jan 21, 2014 It’s Roma-Juventus in the Coppa Italia tonight and Radja Nainggolan believes “this is the right moment to prove ourselves.” http://markting10.nl/ The teams had already met in Serie A earlier this month with the Bianconeri emerging 3-0 winners in Turin. This evening they go head-to-head in the Coppa Italia quarter-final, which kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico at 19.45 GMT. “After the game we lost two weeks ago, this is the right moment to prove ourselves and is above all important for the Coppa Italia,” Nainggolan told Rai Sport. http://markting10.nl/ The Belgian international had not yet joined Roma when they lost 3-0, but starts tonight because Miralem Pjanic is not 100 per cent fit. “We will play our game. Juve are an excellent side, but we too are strong and I believe we can challenge them.” http://markting10.nl/ Roma: De Sanctis; Maicon, Benatia, Castan, Torosidis; Nainggolan, De Rossi, Strootman; Florenzi, Totti, Gervinho Juventus: Storari; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Isla, Vidal, Marchisio, Pirlo, Peluso; Quagliarella, Giovinco

ROMA - JUVENTUS January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento 'Coppa quarter won't decide title' Jan 21, 2014 Fabio Capello has insisted that the Coppa Italia clash between Roma and Juventus will have no bearing on the Scudetto. http://markting10.nl/ The top two in the League meet in the cup quarter-final this evening, but the former Giallorossi and Bianconeri Coach has claimed that the outcome will not have an effect on who wins the title. “The title is between Roma and Juventus,” he told TuttoJuve. “That’s how I see it. But the Coppa Italia has nothing to do with that. “It’s an important game though, to see where Roma are in comparison with Juve. We already know what to expect from Juve!” http://markting10.nl/ The current Russian national team boss then commented on his memories of managing both sides. “I have beautiful memories in both places. I can’t pick one over the other. They were two different experiences.” http://markting10.nl/ Capello concluded by refusing to comment on the rumoured swap deal between Fredy Guarin and Mirko Vucinic. “No, no. I can’t comment. These things are for Coaches, not me.”

PSG lining up mammoth Pogba bid? Jan 21, 2014 Paris Saint-Germain will table a bid of between €50m-€60m for Paul Pogba, reports in the Italian Press suggest. AMAZONIAN Corriere dello Sport write this afternoon that the Ligue 1 champions are desperate to sign the Juventus youngster, and will go all out to sign the France international. With Fredy Guarin now looking likely to sign from Inter, speculation has increased that Pogba will depart from the Bianconeri soon. AMAZONIAN The paper believes that Laurent Blanc’s men are prepared to offer the 20-year-old wages of €8m per season, double what he currently earns in Turin.

ROMA - JUVENTUS January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Roma want revenge on Juventus - Garcia The Roma manager hopes that home advantage will prevail in his side’s Coppa Italia quarter-final against the league leaders on Tuesday. Jan 21, 2014 Roma boss Rudi Garcia thinks his players can exact revenge on Juventus on Tuesday after suffering a 3-0 defeat in the opening game of 2014. http://markting10.nl/ The Giallorossi could have gone within two points of the Bianconeri at the top of Serie A if they had won in Turin, but they were reduced to nine men and saw their Scudetto charge severely damaged earlier in January when they were defeated. Garcia is determined that his team will not suffer the same fate in Tuesday's Coppa Italia quarter-final as they look to advance to the last four with a win at the Stadio Olimpico. "I'd like to win against Juventus because it is a game where the winner goes through to the semi-finals," the former Lille boss told Rai Sport. "At the moment we are focused on this competition, it will be a good game to play. http://markting10.nl/ "We need to ensure that the match goes in our favour this time. The venue of the game can change everything. It is difficult to play at their stadium, but this time it is at the Stadio Olimpico. "Their team know how to do everything. Juve do not envy any other team. They know that they have a good squad that can play together. http://markting10.nl/ "They have won two league titles and this year - with the arrival of two strong strikers in Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente - the team's even stronger." The winner of the Coppa Italia last-eight clash will face Lazio or Napoli in the last four.

Marchisio targets Juventus stay amid Manchester United links The midfielder has dismissed suggestions that he could be on his way out of the Bianconeri and is eagerly anticipating the Coppa Italia game against Roma. Jan 21, 2014 Claudio Marchisio says he has no intention of leaving Juventus this winter amid interest from Manchester United, insisting that he intends to honour his contract with the Serie A champions. AMAZONIAN United manager David Moyes travelled to Italy earlier this month to see the 28-year-old in action in Juventus' Serie A win over Cagliari, and the expected arrival of Fredy Guarin from Inter has further fuelled speculation about Marchisio's future. However, the midfielder has stressed that he will not get distracted by the rumours as he sees his long-term future in Turin. "Every transfer window things get talked about, but I'm happy about it as I have a long contract at Juventus and I intend to honour it," Marchisio told Rai Sport. AMAZONIAN The Italy international then looked ahead to Juventus' Coppa Italia quarter-final clash against Roma and believes his side will need to be at the top of their game to progress. "Our 12 wins in a row show that this Juventus team are having an excellent season, but Roma have the same number of points that we had this time last season and have also hit a good rhythm," he continued. "It will be a great game. Roma are a great team with quality players and, even beyond Francesco Totti, they have players you need to keep an eye on. AMAZONIAN "We really want the Coppa Italia trophy that we have been missing during two years of victories." Juve have not won the domestic cup since 1995.

ROMA - JUVENTUS January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Boniek: Roma-Juve is 50-50 Jan 20, 2014 Zbigniew Boniek has mused that Roma and Juventus are equal favourites for tomorrow’s night Coppa Italia clash. http://markting10.nl/ The League’s top two teams face off in the quarter-finals of the knockout competition on Tuesday evening and have their former Polish midfielder split between loyalties. “Both teams value the Cup - compared to the past it is becoming a prestigious objective, credit must go to those who have changed its format,” Boniek began to Anch’io Sport this week. “This will be a great match. If they had been playing in Turin, then I would have said that Juventus were definitely favourites. http://markting10.nl/ “But, in Rome, the teams will be closer to 50-50. Conte will, as always, make changes for the Cup, while Roma have rested some players just for tomorrow. “The game counts more for Roma, because Juventus are favourites in the League, whilst in general the two teams are equal. “Juventus has a lot more aggression, they play very high and take away the opportunity to think for their opponents. http://markting10.nl/ “In addition, they have strikers that no-one has in Serie A, so… The aggression that Conte transmits is unique. “Roma cannot possibly do more than they have already, whilst the Bianconeri are doing something impressive.”

ROMA - JUVENTUS January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Llorente: I can still improve Jan 20, 2014 Fernando Llorente insists he can still improve for Juventus, as he outlines the club’s determination in the Cup and how Serie A is not like La Liga. http://markting10.nl/ The Spaniard has put aside a difficult start to life in Italy to find form and a regular spot in the Bianconeri’s first XI, where he has just reached double figures in goals scored. “I’m learning a lot from the Coach, but I also know that I can grow even more,” Llorente has considered to reporters, on from scoring at the weekend against Sampdoria. “Continuing to work as we are doing, success will arrive and it will be more beautiful. http://markting10.nl/ “Slowly, I am returning to the level that I had reached in Spain. Now I am very well and I feel happy.” Juve head out to the capital this midweek for Tuesday’s Coppa Italia quarter-final with Roma. “It is a competition that is not a nuisance to us, but a real goal. We really want to win it, because the last two years with Conte it has been beyond the team. http://markting10.nl/ “The Giallorossi are having an unbelievable League campaign, but we are even more so. “There is not much difference, perhaps Juve is greater in concentration, aggression, finding the goal.” Juve lead Roma by eight points in Serie A, but the 28-year-old doesn’t agree with comparisons between the Italian and Spanish top flights. http://markting10.nl/ “Is Serie A becoming monotonous like La Liga? No, actually, it is a tough League, difficult. Every game must be accompanied by a lot of tension and it has never been easy for Juve to win. “Here in Italy the first thing I learned is that any opponent can hurt you. And many times we have suffered so much, as against Chievo, or with Verona. But fighting to the end, the result has come.” Llorente’s struggles last year with Athletic Bilbao saw him slip out of contention with the Spain squad, but his form is seen as likely to have him fighting for a place at the World Cup in Brazil. http://markting10.nl/ “There is still a lot of time, anything can happen. For me and Carlos [Tevez], the important thing is to help Juve to continue along the right path. “We are delighted for how the team is going, tomorrow is a very important match and we want to win again. “Pogba? I’ve no fear in us losing him, in fact, I’d like him to stay here. He is young, he can still grow very much with us.”

ROMA - JUVENTUS January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Garcia not after Juve revenge Jan 20, 2014 Ahead of the Coppa Italia clash with Juventus, Rudi Garcia has stressed Roma are only concerned with booking their place in the semi-finals. http://markting10.nl/ The Giallorossi are Juventus’ closest challengers in the title race, but the 3-0 defeat to the Old Lady three weeks ago still sees them trailing the leaders by eight points. However, Garcia has stated his team will not be actively seeking revenge against the Bianconeri in tomorrow evening’s Cup quarter-final. “This is the most important game of this week,” began Garcia to reporters today. http://markting10.nl/ “But above all it is a game that leads to the semi-finals, and that is what counts. We’ve to ensure that Roma is the team going through.” “The Olimpico will be nearly full and that will make for a great environment. It is a good advantage for us, it is easier to play at home with the fans behind the team. “The League? “It is difficult to talk about this, as it is not my focus going into this game. The League is in the past and we are doing well. We moved two points ahead of Napoli and three on Inter. http://markting10.nl/ “We will have time to talk about this later, as there are still so many days ahead and we also have the return leg against Juventus at the Olimpico. “Today, we are solely concentrated on the Coppa and getting through to the next round.” Garcia was pressed for whether he has seen his team react to Week 18’s defeat to Juve. http://markting10.nl/ “It’s useless to talk about this game as it is in the past. We have responded well in the following games, and that is all that matters because the truth comes from the field. “It was important to get back to winning ways right away and we did that against Sampdoria. “Moreover, it is important to win in the League, but I have no doubts about the desire of this team. Every game we give everything we have.” http://markting10.nl/ Roma have been active in the transfer window and following on from Radja Nainggolan’s arrival from Cagliari, full-back Michel Bastos is set to join the club pending a medical. Garcia believes that both players will give a boost to the Lupi. “We are stronger now with these two players, as they give us more solutions. [Michael] Bradley may have left, but Nainggolan’s arrival means that we have maintained numerical parity in midfield. “Bastos provides us with more options going forward, especially on the flanks. With [Federico] Balzaretti injured, he also presents us with a defensive option. He still has to do work to get to the physical level expected, but he will start training.” http://markting10.nl/ Turning his attention to tomorrow’s game, Garcia was asked if Miralem Pjanic would be starting and how he plans to stop Andrea Pirlo. “We have five strong players in the midfield, and we will also be needing them in Europe. But, the fact that we signed Nainggolan does not mean that we will be allowing Pjanic to leave.” “It is not just question of stopping Pirlo. They have so many strong players, and they can be dangerous from all sides. http://markting10.nl/ “But it is the same for them. We too have 13 or 14 players who have found the net this season, and that can be seen as having an extra weapon. “Pirlo is a champion, and if he isn’t that involved, then better for us. But, we have to play our own game and be more effective and cynical.”

ROMA - JUVENTUS January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Conte considering eight changes Jan 20, 2014 Antonio Conte could make as many as eight changes to the Juventus line-up to face Roma on Tuesday night. http://markting10.nl/ For the Coppa Italia quarter-final at the Stadio Olimpico, the 44-year-old is speculated as set to ring the changes, on from Saturday night’s League win over Sampdoria. From that match, the Bianconeri are seen as likely to return Leonardo Bonucci to the centre of defence after shaking off a thigh injury, with Giorgio Chiellini alongside him, as he is suspended for next weekend’s trip to Lazio. Martin Caceres is likely to complete the back three, which will sit in front of regular Coppa ‘keeper Marco Storari. http://markting10.nl/ Meanwhile, Tuttosport say that midfield should see Andrea Pirlo return from being rested in Week 20 and that he will play alongside Arturo Vidal and Claudio Marchisio, with Paul Pogba dropping out for a rest. Mauricio Isla and Federico Peluso may replace Stephan Lichtsteiner and Kwadwo Asamoah on the wings, whilst attack may be the responsibility of Fabio Quagliarella and Sebastian Giovinco. The speculated changes would see only Chiellini, Marchisio and Vidal keep their place from the side that started against Samp at the weekend.

ROMA - JUVENTUS January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Pjanic set for new role? Jan 20, 2014 Rudi Garcia is speculated as considering handing Miralem Pjanic a new role in attack for Roma against Juventus tomorrow evening. http://markting10.nl/ The Frenchman is seen as keen to face the Bianconeri in the Coppa Italia quarter-final with his quartet of midfielders all on the pitch, calling for a reshuffle in his usual 4-3-3 formation. The giornalaccio rosa dello Sport believe that Radja Nainggolan could stick in midfield alongside Daniele De Rossi and Kevin Strootman and that Pjanic will return, but to one of the front-three positions. http://markting10.nl/ However, Pjanic could find himself back in midfield, as indications from Monday morning’s training session suggest it is a straight choice between the Bosnian and Nainggolan for one position. Also, whilst De Rossi trained with the full group, his place is seen as under some scrutiny, due to struggles with his physical condition and having suffered with a fever yesterday. Meanwhile, Garcia is seen as also have to decide between Francesco Totti and Mattia Destro in attack.

ROMA - JUVENTUS January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento No Conte conference pre-Roma? Jan 20, 2014 Antonio Conte will reportedly not be addressing the media ahead of Juventus’ Coppa Italia clash with Roma. http://markting10.nl/ Coaches traditionally talk to reporters on the day preceding each fixture, but ahead of Tuesday evening’s Cup quarter-final in the capital, Conte is reported by Tuttosport as set to skip that particular commitment. Roma Coach Rudi Garcia is expected in front of the microphones during the course of Monday, however.

ROMA - JUVENTUS January 21, 2014 - 8:45 PM Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Paolo Tagliavento ‘Juve’s secret is Conte’ Jan 20, 2014 Angelo Ogbonna says Juventus’ secret lies in their Coach Antonio Conte, as he affirms the team expect a different match against Roma tomorrow. http://markting10.nl/ The Old Lady heads into Tuesday evening’s Coppa Italia quarter-final away to the Giallorossi eight points ahead of them at the top of Serie A and with the recent memory of a 3-0 win in the League over them. However, for the Bianconeri’s 25-year-old defender, that result won’t be on anyone’s mind come tomorrow night. “I do not think Roma will be affected by the League result, they are a great team,” Ogbonna has mused to Sky Sport Italia this week. http://markting10.nl/ “The fact that it is a one-off game, though, will not change our attitude. Tomorrow I expect a tactical game to begin with, whilst it will not be a rematch. “It is a different competition from the League, whilst the Coppa Italia is one of our goals and we will try to bring home a positive result.” Ogbonna was asked what the secret was to Juve’s recent imperious form. http://markting10.nl/ “It is clear that there is attention to detail, the compactness, the desire, which Conte gives to us in every game, so as to deal with it and analyse it in the best way. “How have I fitted in? Through a lot of work. At the beginning perhaps it may seem tiring, but it takes a while for everyone to assimilate to their roles. “It was very good for me to work with the Coach to find the right timing and he has advised me to push beyond the threshold [of fatigue].” http://markting10.nl/ Juve are then once more in the capital for next weekend’s return to League action, when they face Lazio. “The most important match is tomorrow’s.”

Calciopoli & Scommessopoli In English
Socrates ha risposto al topic di gsol in Juventus news in English
Gasp: 'Calciopoli made Inter' Jan 19, 2014 Gian Piero Gasperini reiterated his Calciopoli theory about Inter’s success as he faces his former club. http://markting10.nl/ Gasperini lasted only a few weeks on the Nerazzurri bench before he was fired and faces his old club, but has stirred up controversy this week by suggesting they would not have won without the Calciopoli scandal removing Juventus from Serie A. “Winning the Treble was extraordinary, but Inter only started winning after Calciopoli. That isn’t my opinion, it’s simply a fact,” reiterated Gasp in his Press conference. http://markting10.nl/ “Inter’s turning point came with Calciopoli, which destroyed Juventus. Inter without that would have continued not to win. “Then, after Mourinho, the trend is back to normal, but as a Coach [Rafa] Benitez [sacked midway through 2010-11] deserved credibility. And to me, then, they only gave me two months.” -
Pogba's future is black and white Much coveted midfielder Paul Pogba’s best move would be to commit his future to Juventus, says Jeremy Lim. Jan 19, 2014 It does not take much for a Serie A starlet to be put up in the meat market these days. Highlight reels of Paul Pogba on YouTube are being expanded to accommodate his growing feats at Juventus, and likewise the transfer links away from Turin just seem to become more audacious with every additional blockbuster he scores. AMAZONIAN The prime cut in question is of course no longer the same unassuming, wide-eyed youngster who made his way to Vinovo for the first time in 2012. Blooded now at the top level for club and country, Pogba has become a force of nature at the centre of the action, the world his oyster as Juventus rush to secure the seed they planted with a contract extension. Yet despite ongoing negotiations, Paris Saint-Germain and half of the Premier League continue to be linked, never mind that it will take an unworldly sum to prise the 20-year-old from his current owners. With Bianconeri President Andrea Agnelli admitting last October his outfit lack the financial clout to stave off determined bids in the exorbitant, greed-fuelled market climate of today, the lone voice of reason in this whole affair could be Pogba’s. A sense of inevitability about the midfielder’s eventual departure might linger, but the time is not yet right to leave the side that has become his proving ground and will continue to serve as such. With Pogba in charge of his own future, whether he chooses to stay remains a question of priorities. AMAZONIAN Europe’s elite may promise to cover him in wealth, but the daily stimulus of competing in a League with the strength in depth of Serie A is an experience money cannot buy. In a world where being as well-rounded as possible is commonly regarded as key to success, acquiring all the nuances of the League will have a far-reaching impact on his career, whether it lies in Italy or elsewhere. Calling time on his Juventus stint halfway will almost certainly be a case of Pogba walking before being pushed. In the squad he already occupies a position of utmost trust in Antonio Conte’s mind. The Coach and luminaries like Gianluigi Buffon and Andrea Pirlo constantly lavish him with the belief and faith he cited as missing when leaving former side Manchester United. Indebted as he is to his current surroundings, the starlet could do a lot worse than nurture his ambitions in an environment that has spurred him to believe in personal greatness from day one. He is truly capable of clinching all the recognition and silverware before him with the Turin giants. Juventus are nearing the height of her powers - a competitive team with genuine ambitions, eager to cement their status as Italian champions and get back to the top of Europe, irrespective of the recent Champions League exit. AMAZONIAN The club’s appetite for success mirrors Pogba’s desire to become the best in the world. With still so much to learn and achieve, committing his long-term future there would mean less of the French sensation placing a ceiling on his potential rather than working with Juventus to achieve their mutual objectives hand-in-hand. Having proven to be a down-to-earth kid with his priorities in the right place so far, putting pen to paper on the extension Juve have reportedly proposed will seal a partnership that will pay dividends for all parties involved. After setting the benchmark for what the new generation of young Serie A footballers can really begin aspiring to, Pogba’s next job will be getting down to serious winning with the club he was tailor-made for - one suspects he’ll be notching a few more sizzling strikes along the way.

Thiago Motta: 'Juve, sell Pogba!' Jan 19, 2014 Thiago Motta advises Juventus to cash in on a reported €60m PSG offer for Paul Pogba. “It’d be a good deal for them.” AMAZONIAN The Brazilian-Italian midfielder spoke to Tuttosport about life in Paris and the possibility of being joined by Pogba. “I hope to sign a contract extension. We are missing a few small details, but at this stage I think it will all go well,” said Motta. “I really like Pogba and also spoke about him to the Juve players during the Italy get-together. He has everything it takes to be a top player. AMAZONIAN “Could he win the Ballon d’Or? With Leo Messi at the moment, I’d say it’s impossible. I thought Messi should’ve won it this year too rather than Cristiano Ronaldo, as he’s been the best in the world for five years. “If Pogba arrived at PSG for €60m, it’d be a good deal for Juve. After having signed him on a free transfer, they’d be able to make a huge profit on his sale. Juventus are good at this sort of deal. “I must say Arturo Vidal surprised me, as he’s even stronger than Pogba. He presses, runs, has quality and scores goals. He is one of the best midfielders in Europe and I’d put him ahead of Xavi in a FIFA XI.”

JUVENTUS 4 - 2 SAMPDORIA Arturo Vidal (18′) Fernando Llorente (24′) Andrea Barzagli (38′-OG) Arturo Vidal (41′-PG) Manolo Gabbiadini (70′) Paul Pogba (78′) January 18, 2014 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Andrea Gervasoni Attendance: 37000 Juventus must keep winning, warns Llorente The Spanish striker wason target in Saturday's 4-2 win over Sampdoria but insists the Bianconeri must maintain their form - starting with the clash against Roma on Tuesday. Jan 19, 2014 Juventus striker Fernando Llorente has urged his side to keep up their remarkable winning streak following Saturday's 4-2 win over Sampdoria. http://markting10.nl/ The former Athletic Bilbao star headed home his eighth league goal of the season as further strikes from Paul Pogba and Arturo Vidal, who got two, made it 12 wins in a row for the reigning Serie A champions. Llorente admits he is thrilled with the Biancocelesti's current form but has warned they must not allow their level to drop - particularly as they prepare for a Coppa Italia quarter-final with Roma. "Our team is doing really well as we are - we need to continue along this path. The important thing is winning, and we're doing that well," the Spain international was quoted as saying by Juventus' official website. http://markting10.nl/ "It was important to win today and we've done it. Sampdoria proved difficult opposition and played a great game. They caused us some problems, and [sinisa] Mihajlovic's men showed the strength they have in their ranks. "Now it's time for the Coppa Italia. We'll be playing against very strong opposition in Rome." http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 4 - 2 SAMPDORIA Arturo Vidal (18′) Fernando Llorente (24′) Andrea Barzagli (38′-OG) Arturo Vidal (41′-PG) Manolo Gabbiadini (70′) Paul Pogba (78′) January 18, 2014 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Andrea Gervasoni Attendance: 37000 Conte demands more from Pogba The trainer was not fully satisfied with the French youngster's outing despite his sensational strike, and expects his side to maintain their concentration better. Jan 19, 2014 Juventus coach Antonio Conte was critical of Paul Pogba even after the midfielder netted a fine goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over Sampdoria. http://markting10.nl/ The Bianconeri raced into a two-goal lead thanks to goals from Arturo Vidal and Fernando Llorente inside the opening 25 minutes. An Andrea Barzagli own goal pulled a goal back for the visitors, before Vidal's second made it 3-1 and Manolo Gabbiadini's 70th minute strike kept Sampdoria in the game. But Pogba had the final say with a stunning goal with 12 minutes remaining, but it still wasn't enough to earn the praise of Conte. "Tonight Pogba could have done a lot better," the Italian told reporters. "I’ve certainly seen better performances from Paul. http://markting10.nl/ "At times the goal fogs the vision of the whole game, but I get angry as people forget everything around it. I ask my players to keep their concentration to the 90th minute and tonight it was hard to kill the game off. "We cannot dominate games and always have this anxiety from set-plays. Sampdoria’s goals came from corners, and we need to work on this. Hats off to them, they gave us great difficulty from set-pieces. http://markting10.nl/ "You always need to be fully focused. This has been the difference between us and the others over the past two-and-a-half years." Victory means Juventus maintain their eight-point lead over Roma at the summit of the table. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 4 - 2 SAMPDORIA Arturo Vidal (18′) Fernando Llorente (24′) Andrea Barzagli (38′-OG) Arturo Vidal (41′-PG) Manolo Gabbiadini (70′) Paul Pogba (78′) January 18, 2014 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Andrea Gervasoni Attendance: 37000 Vidal targets prolific season for Juventus The Chilean is keen to score more goals and thinks his side will win Serie A with performances like the one in Saturday's win over Sampdoria. Jan 19, 2014 Arturo Vidal is keen to continue his rich vein of goalscoring form after his double helped Juventus beat Sampdoria 4-2 on Saturday. http://markting10.nl/ The Chilean is Serie A's top-scoring midfielder and netted his ninth and 10th league goal of the season as Juve maintained their 100 per cent record at home. But despite already equalling his personal tally of last season at the midway stage of the campaign, Vidal insists what counts above everything is helping the team win. "I work every day to keep developing and am happy to have found the target tonight," the prolific midfielder stated. "I haven't set any specific target for my goals. I just want to carry on like this to the end. http://markting10.nl/ "I don't have any bonus tied to goals in my contract, I just do it for the team. Last time I gave the penalty to [Mirko] Vucinic, but this time it was for me and thankfully I scored." Sampdoria were the last side to earn a league win in Turin, but further goals from Fernando Llorente and Paul Pogba ended any hopes of a repeat scenario. Despite suffering a nervy period in the second half when Manolo Gabbiadini made it 3-2, Vidal feels his team-mates showed they were worth the win as Juve continue towards defending their crown. http://markting10.nl/ "Serie A is a difficult league. Roma and Napoli have great players, but we must continue like this to the end in order to earn a third consecutive Scudetto," the 26-year-old continued. "Sampdoria came here to play their football and I think they are a really good side who can go far this season." http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 4 - 2 SAMPDORIA Arturo Vidal (18′) Fernando Llorente (24′) Andrea Barzagli (38′-OG) Arturo Vidal (41′-PG) Manolo Gabbiadini (70′) Paul Pogba (78′) January 18, 2014 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Andrea Gervasoni Attendance: 37000 Conte: 'Pogba can do better!' Jan 18, 2014 Antonio Conte praised Sampdoria for coming to attack Juventus, but was very critical of Paul Pogba’s performance. http://markting10.nl/ The Bianconeri improved their club record with a 12th consecutive Serie A victory, but the Blucerchiati made them work for the 4-2 result. “I think we did well to prepare this game the right way, otherwise it would’ve been really tough to beat this Sampdoria tonight,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia. “It’s a shame, as we have to work on the fact most of their chances – and those scored by Cagliari last week – came from corners. We cannot dominate games and always have this anxiety from set plays. http://markting10.nl/ “This problem has only really emerged recently with Cagliari and Samp. The Blucerchiati caused us a great deal of trouble from corners tonight and they deserve compliments for that. “We created numerous scoring opportunities, got four goals again to show we are a team who like to play, to attack and that means leaving some spaces at the back.” Conte was shown footage of his absolutely furious reaction on the touchline when Arturo Vidal lost the ball with some fancy footwork in midfield. http://markting10.nl/ “I try to keep the utmost concentration in my players to the 90th minute and tonight we saw it was hard to kill the game off. In my view, that’s what has made the difference over the last two and a half years. We did well to hold Samp off and break away when we had the chance.” Pogba scored a sensational strike this evening, his sixth of the Serie A season, but Conte was far from happy with his 20-year-old starlet. “Tonight Pogba could’ve done a lot better. I’m not joking! I’ve certainly seen better performances from Paul. At times the goal fogs the vision of the whole game, but I get angry as people forget everything around it.” http://markting10.nl/ The Bianconeri have struggled more in the last two rounds, but Conte believes that’s better for them and the fans. “Sampdoria had seven men up for set plays and that made us nervous. As for the rest of the game, we did well to cause them a lot of problems too with our style of football. “I am happy that we are facing teams who play the game rather than those who come here and sit with 10 men behind the ball. I hope this tendency will grow, as when two teams play to beat each other there’s more spectacle. It’s also inevitable that lowers our possession statistics, but I prefer that and I’m sure the people in the stadium do too. This match was well worth the price of the ticket. http://markting10.nl/ “I compliment Sinisa Mihajlovic, but I knew we’d be in real trouble if we didn’t prepare for this game in the best way possible.” Conte also hit back at Rafa Benitez after the Napoli Coach accused him of only saying the title race wasn’t over in order to give papers something to write. “I have lost titles when eight points clear with seven rounds to go and I’ve also won them with comebacks, so I know it’s never over until it’s over. It’s better to be cautious rather than be left with egg on your face!” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 4 - 2 SAMPDORIA Arturo Vidal (18′) Fernando Llorente (24′) Andrea Barzagli (38′-OG) Arturo Vidal (41′-PG) Manolo Gabbiadini (70′) Paul Pogba (78′) January 18, 2014 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Andrea Gervasoni Attendance: 37000 Mihajlovic: 'Samp played in Turin' Jan 18, 2014 Sinisa Mihajlovic admits Juventus deserved the victory, but was pleased his Sampdoria “did not come here to defend.” http://markting10.nl/ The Blucerchiati were beaten 4-2 in Turin and made the Serie A leaders work hard for a 12th consecutive win. “We have to tip our hats to Juventus, as when they raised the tempo they were superior, there’s no doubt about it. I was pleased the lads never let their heads drop and continued to play good football, which isn’t easy,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia. “This is a young team that came to the Juventus Stadium and scored two goals, forced several Gigi Buffon saves and hit the bar. That is not to be sniffed at. http://markting10.nl/ “We deserved to lose the game, but my players did their absolute best tonight and we caused them problems.” Sampdoria nearly made it 3-3 when Manolo Gabbiadini’s screamer thumped the crossbar. “It wouldn’t have been fair to equalise, but on 3-2 we did hit the bar and if that had gone in for 3-3 then we’d have to see how it ended. The difference is made with great players like Paul Pogba, who scored a fantastic goal. http://markting10.nl/ “We did not come here to defend ourselves and that is the most important thing. We need to improve in terms of character and experience, learn to play with someone pressing them and be more determined when there are scoring opportunities. “This performance showed the lads they are on the right track, as if we can keep playing like this and improve on those issues, we can achieve safety from relegation.” http://markting10.nl/ Mihajlovic was famous for his extraordinary free kicks and is impressed with the ballistic expertise of Gabbiadini. “In some situations he shoots even better than me. I usually only did well from set plays, but he can shoot with movement too.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 4 - 2 SAMPDORIA Arturo Vidal (18′) Fernando Llorente (24′) Andrea Barzagli (38′-OG) Arturo Vidal (41′-PG) Manolo Gabbiadini (70′) Paul Pogba (78′) January 18, 2014 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Andrea Gervasoni Attendance: 37000 Vidal: 'Samp impressed me' Jan 18, 2014 Arturo Vidal has already matched his personal best of 10 Serie A goals, but admits he was impressed by Sampdoria. http://markting10.nl/ The Chilean midfielder bagged a brace in tonight’s 4-2 victory over Samp and contributed to a 12th consecutive Juventus victory. This means he has netted 10 goals in 20 Serie A rounds – an average of one every other game. “I haven’t set any specific target for my goals. I just want to carry on like this to the end. I don’t have any bonus tied to the goals in my contract, I just do it for the team!” he told Sky Sport Italia. http://markting10.nl/ “Last time I gave the penalty to Mirko Vucinic, but this time it was for me and thankfully I scored a goal. “Sampdoria came here to play their football and I think they are a really good side who can go far this season.” http://markting10.nl/ Roma crushed Livorno 3-0 today and Napoli are also eager to keep the pressure on the Serie A leaders. “This is a difficult League. Roma and Napoli have great players, but we must continue like this to the end in order to earn a third consecutive Scudetto.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 4 - 2 SAMPDORIA Arturo Vidal (18′) Fernando Llorente (24′) Andrea Barzagli (38′-OG) Arturo Vidal (41′-PG) Manolo Gabbiadini (70′) Paul Pogba (78′) January 18, 2014 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Andrea Gervasoni Attendance: 37000 Player Ratings Goal was on hand to see Juventus stretch their winning Serie A run to 12 matches, courtesy of imperious performances from midfield pair Arturo Vidal and Paul Pogba. Jan 18, 2014 JUVENTUS Gianluigi Buffon - A solid performance from the veteran goalkeeper, who could do nothing about either of Sampdoria's goals, and made several great reflex saves. Andrea Barzagli - A steady performance from the central defender, despite Sampdoria failing to threaten too often down the left hand side, due to Regini being unable to push on. Angelo Ogbonna - A composed performance from the former Torino man, who stroked the ball around comfortably, despite Eder being a handful. Giorgio Chiellini - Efficient in the first half and imperious in the second, as the Italy international kept Gabbiadini quiet after the break. Stephan Lichtsteiner - A hard working performance, as the Swiss fulfilled his defensive responsibilities throughout, but his attacking input wasn't as brilliant. Paul Pogba - A fantastic performance from the young Frenchman, who looked composed on the ball, readily able to beat his man and capped it all with a stunner from 30 yards. Claudio Marchisio - An efficient performance in place of Pirlo, as Marchisio played several great balls to set Juventus on the attacking foot. Hard working and battled well. Arturo Vidal - His runs from midfield kept Sampdoria constantly alert. He scored Juve's first with a deft flick, before winning and converting a penalty. An imperious performance from the Chilean. Kwadwo Asamoah - Threatened at times when cutting inside from the left flank, and offered width. Energetic and lively performance. Carlos Tévez - Linked up well with Llorente and was unfortunate to strike the post in the first half. Drove at the Sampdoria defence well, but couldn't find a goal. Fernando Llorente - Held up the ball well, and scored a fine header, giving Da Costa no chance with a thumping effort into the top corner. http://markting10.nl/ Substitutions Federico Peluso - Created good openings down the left hand side on two occasions. Fabio Quagliarella - Made one delightful cross-field ball within seconds of coming on, which allowed Peluso to tee up Pogba. http://markting10.nl/ SAMPDORIA Angelo Da Costa - Made several decent reflex stops and had little chance with any of Juventus' goals. Shkodran Mustafi - A sloppy performance from the defender, as his lack of mobility allowed Juve to get in behind the Sampdoria back line regularly. Daniele Gastaldello - Threatened regularly from corners and was denied on one occasion by an excellent save by Buffon. Vasco Regini - Covered well from left-back in the first half, but struggled a little more when he was forced to play centre-back. Pedro Obiang - Linked defence and attack excellently, often picking up the loose ball before finding the likes of Eder and Gabbiadini with an incisive pass. Angelo Palombo - Worked hard throughout and battled in the centre of midfield, despite it being difficult to keep tabs on the free-roaming duo of Pogba and Vidal. Paweł Wszołek - Threatened going forward on several occasions in the second half and forced a good save out of Buffon. Birkir Bjarnason - Offered very little and was rightly substituted at half-time, after a very ineffectual performance. Lorenzo De Silvestri - Struggled against Asamoah, as the Ghana international cut inside often, but did cover in behind Mustafi quite well at times. Manolo Gabbiadini - An outstanding performance by the 22-year-old, who scored once and rattled Buffon's crossbar with another technically brilliant strike. Sampdoria's main threat. Eder - Offered little in the first half, but was more of a handful in the second, with his pace and dribbling ability allowing for him to get in behind on occasions. http://markting10.nl/ Substitutions Andrea Costa - Worked hard to give Eder support down the left hand side, delivering several good crosses from the flank to force the likes of Chiellini into action. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111
