ARTURO VIDAL 1-4

Ora puó uscire Vidal.

Una signora con delle maniere da scaricatore di porto.

Ma che é successo alla criniera del Re Leone?

FERNANDO LLORENTE 1-3

Gran goal di Llorente!

Bonucci sempre nel posto sbagliato.

Certo, ma sempre di Cazzola si tratta.

Ora ci voleva Pirlo.

Poveretto, che cognome .... Cazzola.

Vidal e Bonucci si prendono a testate.

ATALANTA - JUVENTUS December 22, 2013 - 3:00 PM Atleti azzurri d'Italia Stadium — Bergamo Referee: Domenico Celi MATCH PREVIEW Dec 21, 2013 Atalanta could end 2013 in the top half of the table, but in order to do so must halt imposing League leaders Juventus. http://markting10.nl/ The Bergamo club secured a last-gasp draw at Genoa, but their winless run extended to four matches. Andrea Bertolacci had fired the Grifoni into a 72nd minute lead, however Giuseppe De Luca popped up in the fourth minute of stoppage time to claim a share of the spoils. Nonetheless, the point does leave the Nerazzurri five points clear of the bottom trio approaching the Christmas break. Stefano Colantuono is hoping that late goal can be a confidence boost and says his side ‘will try to make life difficult for Juventus’. Mario Yepes and Cristian Raimondi are battling to prove their fitness after missing the trip to Genoa, while Gianpaolo Bellini is a long-term absentee. They do recover Riccardo Cazzola from suspension. http://markting10.nl/ Juventus crushed Sassuolo to make it eight wins in succession – all coming with clean sheets. Carlos Tevez sunk the newly-promoted club with a hat-trick, while Federico Peluso opened his season account. It was the tonic needed following their shock Champions League exit at the hands of Galatasaray days before. The Bianconeri were back in action midweek, cruising to victory over Avellino in the Coppa Italia Last 16. Sebastian Giovinco starred, netting the opening goal before assisting Martin Caceres and Fabio Quagliarella. All three goals came within the opening half-hour. http://markting10.nl/ Andrea Pirlo will be out until the new year due to a knee injury, but Mirko Vucinic and Simone Pepe are back – the latter after a year out – with Claudio Marchisio also returning having served a one-match ban. Juventus were 1-0 winners in this fixture last season, making it 23 wins from 51 Bergamo visits. The Orobici have triumphed just seven times, the last of which was in 2000-01. http://markting10.nl/ Keep an eye on: Fernando Llorente (Juventus) – The Spaniard has enjoyed a good two-month spell and his partnership with Carlos Tevez is beginning to take off. Llorente has four Serie A goals to date and will look to end the year on a high. Form guide: Atalanta (W L D L D) Juventus (W W W W W) Last season: Atalanta 0-1 Juventus Stat fact: Juventus have won on their last six trips to Bergamo, a run stretching back to 2004-05. http://markting10.nl/ ATALANTA (probable): Consigli; Scaloni, Canini, Lucchini, Brivio; Brienza, Carmona, Cigarini, Kone; Moralez; Denis JUVENTUS (probable): Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pogba, Marchisio, Asamoah; Tevez, Llorente 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 squad for Atalanta Dec 21, 2013 Juventus named their squad for the trip to Atalanta, missing Andrea Pirlo and Mirko Vucinic. http://markting10.nl/ It kicks off in Bergamo on Sunday at 15.00 CET. Pirlo and Vucinic are still sidelined by injury problems. Simone Pepe made his first appearance in over a year when Juve beat Avellino in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday, but he is not included in the squad here. http://markting10.nl/ Juventus squad for Atalanta: Buffon, Chiellini, Caceres, Ogbonna, Pogba, Tevez, De Ceglie, Giovinco, Peluso, Llorente, Barzagli, Motta, Bonucci, Padoin, Asamoah, Vidal, Lichtsteiner, Quagliarella, Storari, Isla, Rubinho 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 Bonaventura reveals Juve love Dec 21, 2013 Giacomo Bonaventura will start for Atalanta tomorrow and admits he “was a Juventus fan as a child.” http://markting10.nl/ The two teams face off at the Stadio Azzurri d’Italia on Sunday at 15.00 CET. “I was a Juventus fan as a child, when Marcello Lippi was on the bench,” the midfielder told the Corriere dello Sport. http://markting10.nl/ “We have already taken points off Inter and Roma, so it would be a great Christmas gift if we could do the same with Juventus. “In order to achieve that aim, we need the perfect performance. I’d take Carlos Tevez off the Bianconeri, though this is a team full of champions and it won’t be easy to get a result.” 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 Atalanta-Juventus Preview: Pirlo absent as champions seek ninth straight win The Bianconeri sit five points clear of Roma in second and have not been beaten by Sunday's opponents since February 2001. Dec 21, 2013 Juventus will look to further cement their place at the top of Serie A as they face an out-of-form Atalanta side on Sunday. http://markting10.nl/ Antonio Conte's men travel to the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia in fine form having won their past eight league games. The Turin club now sit five points clear of Roma at the summit of the division and will head into the mid-season break as leaders, regardless of the result in Bergamo. Juventus have an outstanding record against Atalanta, and have not tasted defeat against the Lombardy club in Serie A since February 2001, when Atalanta earned a 2-1 win. http://markting10.nl/ And Conte's side will be favourites to take all three points from this encounter with a team that has won just one of its past eight outings in the league. That victory came against relegation-threatened Bologna but, although Stefano Colantuono's men are in the midst of a mediocre season, Atalanta can take some hope into the game having suffered only one loss in front of their home fans this term. Inter, Napoli and AC Milan were among Atalanta's biggest scalps last season, and Colantuono will be looking for his team to produce another strong showing against one of the division's best and end their 12-year wait for a league win over Juve. http://markting10.nl/ Still Juventus present an imposing challenge, particularly with midfield stalwart Andrea Pirlo (knee) the only absentee in a near fully-fit squad, with Simone Pepe having returned to action against Avellino after more than a year on the sidelines. Juve may hold a commanding lead over Roma as they seek their third consecutive Scudetto, but vice-captain Claudio Marchisio believes it is vital that Conte’s maintain their momentum heading into to the second half of the campaign http://markting10.nl/ "This year will end in the best possible way, with us in first place," Marchisio told JTV. "We've now got a different rival who will try to overtake us, but we want to keep winning." http://markting10.nl/ Head to Head Serie A ‎-‎ May 8, 2013 - Atalanta 0 - 1 Juventus Serie A ‎- Dec 16, 2012 - Juventus 3 - 0 Atalanta Serie A ‎-‎ May 13, 2012 - Juventus 3 - 1 Atalanta Serie A ‎-‎ Jan 21, 2012 - Atalanta 0 - 2 Juventus Serie A ‎- Mar 28, 2010 - Juventus 2 - 1 Atalanta http://markting10.nl/ Last Five Matches ATALANTA Dec 15, 2013 - Genoa 1 - 1 Atalanta - Serie A Dec 8, 2013 - Hellas Verona 2 - 1 Atalanta - Serie A Dec 4, 2013 - Atalanta 2 - 0 Sassuolo - Coppa Italia Dec 1, 2013 - Atalanta 1 - 1 Roma - Serie A Nov 24, 2013 - Sassuolo 2 - 0 Atalanta - Serie A JUVENTUS Dec 18, 2013 - Juventus 3 - 0 Avellino - Coppa Italia Dec 15, 2013 - Juventus 4 - 0 Sassuolo - Serie A Dec 11, 2013 - Galatasaray 1 - 0 Juventus - UCL Dec 6, 2013 - Bologna 0 - 2 Juventus - Serie A Dec 1, 2013 - Juventus 1 - 0 Udinese - Serie A http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Marchisio rules out Juventus exit in January The midfielder has dismissed suggestions that he will be on his way out of Turin in the near future and says the Bianconeri are keen to win the Europa League. Dec 21, 2013 Claudio Marchisio says he has no intention of leaving Juventus in the January transfer window and that he wants to stay at the club for as long as possible. AMAZONIAN The 27-year-old was linked with a move to the Premier League in the summer and has been in and out of the side this season, with Paul Pogba emerging as the preferred option alongside Arturo Vidal in the centre of midfield. However, Italy international Marchisio stated he does not want to cut his Bianconeri contract short for any team over the next two seasons. "No one has ever personally come knocking at my door to take me away from Turin," he told JTV. "But every year, and especially in the summer, there are rumours concerning me. AMAZONIAN "But, in addition to this season, I have two more years on my contract with Juventus. I hope to play for as long as possible at this club, it is not my intention to change clubs." Antonio Conte's men suffered a shock group-stage exit from the Champions League earlier this month but, with the Europa League final to be played at Juventus Stadium, Marchisio is hoping the team can still lift a continental trophy this season. AMAZONIAN "We were really disappointed to go out of the Champions League, but unfortunately that was the way it went," he added. "Now we know that we have to at least have a go at winning the Europa League, even if we know that will not be easy. "We want to have the possibility of winning the trophy in our stadium, but we saw in the group stages of the two European competitions that there are some very important teams."

ATALANTA - JUVENTUS December 22, 2013 - 3:00 PM Atleti azzurri d'Italia Stadium — Bergamo Referee: Domenico Celi Atalanta v Juventus – Team News, Tactics, Line-ups And Prediction Dec 21, 2013 It’s the final round in Serie A before the league takes its annual Winter break and goes on a two week hiatus. Naturally, teams will have their intentions firmly set on finishing the calendar year on a high. For Juventus, that could see them extend their five point lead at the top of the league; while for Atalanta, a win could propel them into the top half of the table. http://markting10.nl/ It’s a special occasion for Juventus manager Antonio Conte, who returns to Bergamo and a stadium he once called home. Conte had a brief tenure with Atalanta and featured in clash-ins with the team’s ultras. Juventus’ last Serie A game saw them brush aside new-comers Sassuolo 4-0 while Atalanta grinded out a low-scoring draw against Genoa. Team News and Tactical Brief ATALANTA Stefano Colantuono’s side have had their capability to win games questioned recently with their four game winless streak the subject of criticism. It took a last gasp Giuseppe De Luca effort to snatch a draw from the jaws of defeat against Genoa. Atalanta will be sweating on the fitness of fan favorite Cristian Raimondi and Mario Yepes. http://markting10.nl/ Colantuono should deploy his favored 4-4-1-1 formation. A couple of changes are expected from the side that grabbed a stalemate in Genoa. Canini and Brineza might be drafted back into the playing eleven. Diminutive play-maker Maxi Moralez will play in the hole behind German Denis. Moralez is the link between midfield and attack but after a great season last term, he hasn’t quite been able to match those levels. One player though that is always a threat is German Denis. The former Napoli man is a man mountain with admirable aerial prowess leads the goal-scoring charts with 6 to his name. The supplier in midfield comes in the form of Luca Cigarini; a player who was once recognized as Andrea Pirlo’s heir but never quite lived up to that billing. Cigarini, however, has put in some excellent performances this year and could certainly cause Juventus problems with his craft. The onus will fall on his shoulders to provide the goods and pull the strings from the heart of midfield. http://markting10.nl/ Possible Starting XI (4-4-1-1): Consigli; Scaloni, Canini, Lucchini, Brivio; Brienza, Carmona, Cigarini, Kone; Moralez; Denis JUVENTUS Two wins on the trot after the extremely disappointing Champions League exit is just the response Antonio Conte was looking for. His side look almost untouchable in Serie A, the domestic league where they’re viewed as the Alpha dogs. You’d have to go all the way back to that Fiorentina game in Florence to spot the last time the Bianconeri failed to grab the three points. It’s an incredible record as they’ve kept clean sheets as well alongwith their 8 successive wins. Gigi Buffon has gone an extraordinary 730 minutes without picking the ball out of his net in the league. http://markting10.nl/ With the Winter break around the corner, expect Conte to field a full strength side. Andrea Pirlo remains the only absentee in an otherwise fully fit team. Juventus will be high on confidence and will have momentum backing them. They will be anticipated to hold the lion’s share of possession and carve openings in the final third. Creativity, of course, that has been provided in plenty by Carlos Tevez will be key to unlocking the Nerazzurri’s defense. Tevez has 10 goals to his credit and his chemistry with Fernando Llorente is what has been grabbing the eye. Llorente’s height and strength gives Juventus a new dimension going forward, a classic target-man that could be used as a battering ram against those doors that just won’t budge. Possible Starting XI (3-5-2): Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pogba, Marchisio, Asamoah; Tevez, Llorente http://markting10.nl/ Player To Watch Out For Paul Pogba (Juventus) Juventus PogbaThe Frenc h International has arguably been one of the best midfield players in Serie A this campaign showing all the talent that we knew he had. Since Pirlo succumbed to injury however, Pogba hasn’t been able to grab a game by the scruff of its neck. The ‘regista’ role hasn’t brought out the best in him but he still his overwhelming ability always makes him a threat. http://markting10.nl/ Prediction ATALANTA 0-2 JUVENTUS A trip to Bergamo is often sighted as one of the most tricky places a team can visit. Atalanta are a formidable opposition at home having conceded victory on just one ocassion. Yet, with the form they’re in and the ammunition they possess, the scales tilt in the Bianconeri’s favor. You’d have to be a brave man to put your money on Juventus dropping points. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Tevez: World Cup? I'll be on vacation Dec 20, 2013 Carlos Tevez has reiterated his belief that he won’t be going to the World Cup with Argentina. AMAZONIAN The Juventus striker told reporters earlier this month that he wasn’t expecting to be on the plane to Brazil. And in an interview with a radio station this afternoon, the Bianconeri man has claimed that he ‘won’t be given a chance’, and also revealed what he plans to do after the Old Lady. “I guess I won’t be called up even if I score 30 goals,” he told Radio La Red. AMAZONIAN “I won’t be given a chance. It hurts to watch the national team. “The World Cup? I’ll be on vacation. I won’t lose sleep about it, I’ve already played in two. AMAZONIAN “I have a three-year contract at Juve and after that I’ll probably go back to Boca. I would love my children to see me play in those colours. “My love for that shirt has never changed – I would play for free.”

ATALANTA - JUVENTUS December 22, 2013 - 3:00 PM Atleti azzurri d'Italia Stadium — Bergamo Referee: Domenico Celi Atalanta out to continue home record against Juve Atalanta midfielder Giacomo Bonaventura is hopeful his side's excellent home form continues against Serie A champions Juventus. Dec 20, 2013 The two sides meet in Bergamo on Sunday with Atalanta out to spring an upset in their final game before the mid-season break. http://markting10.nl/ Despite sitting 13th in the table, Atalanta have lost just once at home this season in a run that has seen them beat Lazio and claim 1-1 draws with both Inter and Roma. Juventus have not conceded in an eight-match winning run in Serie A, but Bonaventura is still confident of testing the league leaders. "It won't be a walk in the park against Juventus," Bonaventura told Corriere dello Sport. http://markting10.nl/ "I expect a really difficult game as Juventus have made their opponents suffer for some time and they have dominated for years. "We managed to hold Roma and Inter to 1-1 draws (though) and it would be a nice Christmas gift to get a result against Juve. "We can take anyone on at home, but we will need a perfect game." http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Tevez: Ribery should win Ballon d'Or The Juventus star has tipped the Bayern Munich winger to claim next month's prize while admitting it appears likely that he will miss out on Argentina's World Cup squad. Dec 20, 2013 Carlos Tevez believes the Ballon d'Or should go to Franck Ribery ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. AMAZONIAN The 29-year-old Juventus forward says that the winger's pivotal contribution to Bayern's treble of the Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League makes him the stand out candidate for this year's prize. "Messi and Cristiano are compete for the award every year, but for what he's done last season with Bayern and the way he played, I'd give it to Franck Ribery. He deserves it more," Tevez told Argentine radio station La Red. All three will appear at next year's World Cup in Brazil, a tournament Tevez admits he expects to miss. AMAZONIAN "Even if I score 30 goals this season I don't think I'll stand a chance of being included in Argentina's World Cup squad. That's very clear to me. "I don't have to explain anything to the fans. It's not me who has to explain why I'm not playing for Argentina." "Sabella is entitled to his decisions. I have to be a grown up person and accept it. AMAZONIAN Tevez has not appeared for his country since 2011 when Argentina failed to claim the Copa America on home soil and hopes that he will one day get the opportunity to enjoy some happier memories of international football. "It would make me sad if my last image with the national team is that missed penalty-kick against Uruguay at the Copa America 2011 quarter-finals."

Marchisio targets Europa League Dec 20, 2013 Claudio Marchisio says Juventus won’t underestimate the Europa League following their Champions League exit. http://markting10.nl/ The Old Lady were demoted from Europe’s premier club competition after defeat at Galatasaray, but they will now be in a position to target a trophy whose Final will be played at the Juventus Stadium. “We were really disappointed to go out of the Champions League, but unfortunately that was the way it went,” the Italian international told JTV. “Now we know that we have to at least have a go at winning the Europa League, even if we know that will not be easy. http://markting10.nl/ “We want to have the possibility of winning the trophy in our stadium, but we saw in the group stages of the two European competitions that there are some very important teams.” Juventus will take on Trabzonspor in the next round of the competition and they could face Fiorentina in the last 16.

Pirlo waiting for signal from Juventus to extend Dec 19, 2013 Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo is reportedly waiting for signals from the Old Lady as he hopes to extend his stay with the Turin outfit. http://markting10.nl/ Although general director Beppe Marotta said on Wednesday that there would be no talks of a contract extension anytime this month, the player is said to have made Turin his home and doesn’t wish to depart the club in the near future. However, Sky Sports 24 reports that Pirlo and his agent were recently spotted at a dinner which was also attended by AC Milan chief Adriano Galliani. http://markting10.nl/ Whilst it is highly regarded that there was nothing but the mere exchange of greetings during their encounter, some outlets suggest that the player’s good relationship with the Rossoneri means that anything is possible if he fails to meet an agreement with the Bianconeri.
