Pirlo eyes Mihajlovic record Oct 31, 2013 Andrea Pirlo is now just five free-kick goals away from equalling the Serie A record tally of Sinisa Mihajlovic. http://markting10.nl/ The Juventus ace scored his 23rd direct free-kick last night in the 4-0 win over Catania, moving one clear of former colleague Alessandro Del Piero. His last remaining target is Mihajlovic, the former Roma, Lazio, Sampdoria and Inter man who struck 28 times in the top-flight from set-pieces. http://markting10.nl/ Pirlo has scored two for Brescia, three for Reggina, 10 for Milan and last night’s was his eighth in the Division for the Old Lady. Top five free-kick scorers in Serie A: 1 Sinisa Mihajlovic (28), 2 Andrea Pirlo (23), 3 Alessandro Del Piero (22), =4 Roberto Baggio and Gianfranco Zola (20).

Chiellini’s apology to Bergessio Oct 31, 2013 Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has apologised to Gonzalo Bergessio after his tackle on the Catania man resulted in a fractured fibula. http://markting10.nl/ The Argentine picked up the break in the 4-0 loss at the Juventus Stadium on Wednesday evening. “I wanted to publicly apologise to Bergessio for that foul that caused his injury,” the Italian noted on Twitter. “I certainly made that challenge to win the ball, but he got there first and unfortunately I struck him on the leg. http://markting10.nl/ “I am really sorry and I want to wish him a speedy recovery.” While the challenge left Catania President Antonino Pulvirenti furious, the centre-forward has defended the stopper. http://markting10.nl/ “These things happen,” responded the South American via the same social media. “He didn’t do it on purpose. All is well.” Bergessio is set to be sidelined for around two or three months.

Juventus confirm Pogba will extend Oct 31, 2013 Juventus director general Beppe Marotta says the club will tighten their grip on Paul Pogba, while he’s delighted with the outfit’s Golden Ball nominations. http://markting10.nl/ The French youngster, still just 20, has been linked with a possible move away from Turin after a recent admission from President Andrea Agnelli. “Pogba is happy at Juventus and he has no intention of leaving,” Marotta told Sky Sport Italia. “We will soon meet with the Frenchman’s agents to extend our agreement and, at the same time, give him a pay rise for the growth he has shown.” http://markting10.nl/ Pogba, who is in his second Turin campaign, is currently committed to the Old Lady until 2016. “If a huge offer arrived for Pogba then I don’t think, right now, we would be strong enough to resist it,” Agnelli told reporters earlier this month. “If I was to judge it from a footballers' point of view, Italy is no longer the final destination but a transit destination. http://markting10.nl/ “I am trying to think what will be of us in two or three years' time if we get a massive offer for one of the best talents we have today in Pogba.” Meanwhile, on Tuesday, it was confirmed that Andrea Pirlo and Antonio Conte were on the Ballon d’Or shortlists for Player and Coach of the Year. “We are proud,” Marotta added. “We re-launched Pirlo and that fills us with joy. http://markting10.nl/ “As for Antonio, he is a young Coach, an emerging one and the fact he is included is a motive of honour for all of us. “The omission of Arturo Vidal? The only player nomination from Serie A is our playmaker, so this shows the selection was very rigid.”

JUVENTUS 4 - 0 CATANIA Arturo Vidal (26′) Andrea Pirlo (34′) Carlos Tévez (65') Leonardo Bonucci (71′) October 30, 2013 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Marco Guida Attendance:‬ 38000‎ Player Ratings Goal rates every player as Antonio Conte's side close the gap on leaders Roma to two points thanks to goals from Arturo Vidal, Andrea Pirlo, Carlos Tevez and Leonardo Bonucci. Oct 30, 2013 Juventus Gianluigi Buffon - The Juventus captain will not have many easier evenings than this and, aside from a few routine saves, he was hardly tested. Martín Cáceres - The Uruguayan defender was caught out on the odd occasion by the Catania front line but on the whole, he did a good job in Barzagli's absence. Leonardo Bonucci - Although he made the odd slip, the 26-year-old turned in an assured defensive performance and managed to score a rare goal when he swept home Giovinco's cutback from close range. Giorgio Chiellini - The commanding centre-back was solid in the tackle, dominant in the air and anticipated the danger brilliantly in order to ensure another clean sheet. Mauricio Isla - An average performance from Isla, who struggled to show the desire of De Ceglie to get forward. Was rarely beaten defensively but offered little in attack. Claudio Marchisio - His search for a first league goal of the season nearly came to an end when a thumping shot cannoned back off the woodwork. Produced some neat touches and accurate passing in the midfield. Andrea Pirlo - After a slow start, Pirlo once again pulled the strings in midfield and got on the scoresheet with a trademark free kick. Arturo Vidal - The Chilean notched his fifth league goal of the season with a fortuitous deflected effort and his determination to get from box to box helped Juventus to dominate the midfield. Paolo De Ceglie - Made a real impact in Asamoah's absence and as a result most of the Juventus attacks came down the left. His crossing with both feet was impressive. Carlos Tévez - The Argentine continued his impressive start to the season with two assists and a goal. His intelligent movement caused the Catania backline all sorts of problems. Fernando Llorente - Although he lacked a clinical edge in front of goal, his hold-up play and understanding with Tevez was a highlight for Juventus fans. http://markting10.nl/ Substitutions Marco Motta - Came on as a late substitute but did not have enough time to make a significant contribution. Paul Pogba - The France midfielder was handed a rest as he has played more minutes than any other Juventus player this season. Came on after the hour mark to add stability to the midfield. Sebastian Giovinco - The striker was unlucky not to mark his 100th Juventus appearance with a goal. His persistence and nimble footwork ensured he was a constant threat and he was the architect for Bonucci's goal. http://markting10.nl/ Catania Mariano Gonzalo Andújar - The Argentine goalkeeper was unlucky with Vidal's deflected strike though his positioning was questionable for Pirlo's free kick. Made several good saves to deny Giovinci late on. A. Rolín - Struggled to cope with the movement of Tevez and it was no surprise that he was eventually substituted. Nicola Legrottaglie - The former Juventus man could not prevent his side leaking four goals and although he turned in an impressive aerial performance, he was often caught out of position. P. Álvarez - Took the armband in Izco's absence but found himself exposed by De Ceglie down the right on numerous occasions. Norbert Gyömbér - The young Slovakian defender struggled at times with the physical presence of Llorente but showed several glimpses of his undoubted potential. Cristiano Biraghi - The on-loan Inter wide man offered no attacking threat in the first half and was duly substituted at half-time. Sergio Bernardo Almiron - The experienced Argentine found it difficult to restrict the Juventus midfield and his foolish trip on Tevez led to the second goal. Tiberio Guarente - He will miss Catania's next game against Napoli after he was foolishly dismissed when picking up a yellow card for a needless challenge on Marchisio. Gonzalo Bergessio - He worked tirelessly in a bid to create openings up front and looked effective despite the little service he was given. He combined well at times with Petkovic. Keko - He looked Catania's brightest spark going forward in the first half with his intelligence and creativity. However, he was asked to help contain De Ceglie in the second half, which limited his attacking impact. Bruno Petkovic - The 19-year-old Croatian was handed a rare start and although he looked lively, he should have repaid his coach's faith as he spurned Catania's best two chances of the game. http://markting10.nl/ Substitutions Ciro Capuano - Was introduced after the third goal in an attempt to give stability to the Catania defence but Guarente's silly red card made this task even harder. Lucas Castro - Was introduced at half-time to give the visitors an attacking impetus but he struggled to make his mark on proceedings. Maxi López - The former Barcelona striker was thrown on in an attempt to give the Catania attack a focal point and fresh legs but he lacked the required service to make an impact. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 4 - 0 CATANIA Arturo Vidal (26′) Andrea Pirlo (34′) Carlos Tévez (65') Leonardo Bonucci (71′) October 30, 2013 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Marco Guida Attendance:‬ 38000‎ Another win and another clean sheet for Juventus Oct 30, 2013 Two clean sheets in a row. It was what Juventus needed and what Antonio Conte wanted. A comprehensive 4-0 victory over Catania not only signals the beauty of Juve's game but it sends a clear signal to rivals: it’s never over until the Old Lady sings. http://markting10.nl/ Over in Florence in the match between Fiorentina and Napoli, the fans held up a banner that read "Gomez not Tevez". But while their German striker sat to watch his side lose, somewhat controversially, the man they didn't want led his team to a spectacular victory. It's Tevez not Gomez... nor any other forward for that matter. The Argentine behaved like a leader and with a passionate performance and tremendous skill guided his side forward -- partaking in most passages of good play Juventus created. Accuracy was perhaps his only problem on the night but his dogged determination, willingness to drop deep to collect the ball and then source goal scoring opportunities is the reason why he's the "top player" the fans have wanted and dreamt of all summer long. Whatever reservations one may have had on the player's mentality have been firmly put to bed -- Carlos Tevez wants a win at all costs. Despite the magnificent result and the great opening few minutes, this was perhaps a less determined Juve. Asked about the difference in the level of intensity, Conte replied wisely, explaining that having played four games in 12 days, it's important to be mature and conserve energy. http://markting10.nl/ Running at 200km per hour is the definition of Juve but they must also know when to push and when to take a breath. However, whilst it's clever to avoid expending too much energy against opponents capable of surrender, it's also important Juventus rid themselves of the sloppy play and silly mistakes committed, especially earlier on in the game. Rather than take advantage of what looked like a shaky defence at times, Catania looked incapable of producing an inspired reaction. When Rolando Maran was shown the door, it was hoped his replacement Luigi De Canio would shock the team back to life -- something he hasn't been able to do yet. Barring the hard work of Gonzalo Bergessio and Keko (in the first half), few players actually fought for points. The defence produced a plethora of mistakes, the wide men rarely troubled Juve's wing-backs -- who are more than capable of succumbing to pressure -- whilst their attackers' capability to drift in and out of the game proved frustrating. It's inconceivable to think that this was the same side that had previously improved upon the number of points collected in the league year by year. Collecting 48 under Vincenzo Montella, they managed 56 points under Maran last season. Now they're occupying a relegation spot. http://markting10.nl/ Catania showed glimpses of what they can do, but psychologically they never believed in a point, let alone a win. Three matches played against the Sicilian side have resulted in three home wins for the Bianconeri. De Canio attempted to incite a positive reaction from his side when he decided to bring on Lucas Castro but whilst Bruno Petkovic and Sergio Almiron attempted to threaten Juve early in the second half, it was simply an easier option to surrender to the Old Lady's superiority. The difficulties of the Sicilian side gave Conte the perfect opportunity to test out different players and few did as well as Paolo De Ceglie. A product of the Bianconeri youth system, the player's ability to deliver an accurate cross was a breath of fresh air for the side that has been forced to tolerate imprecision from the wide areas. Paying attention to his defensive duty, his work rate and ability to whiz forward reminded the coach that in De Ceglie, he possesses a fine alternative to Kwadwo Asamoah. If only Fernando Llorente did better to capitalise on the crosses delivered. http://markting10.nl/ The Spaniard wasn't at his best but his partnership with Tevez is steadily improving as evidenced by Juve's third goal. On the upside, Juventus can instead count on another youth team product who has impressed in his recent outings. Sebastian Giovinco's forward runs threatened Real Madrid in the Champions League. His perfect finish against Milan justified Conte's decision to opt for quick feet instead of a tall head whilst tonight he once again proved his talent for pushing forward and overcoming defenders. On form both physically and psychologically, Seba can offer the side a quality no other can in this forward line. Whilst it seemed the Juve jersey burdened him with excessive pressure, the desire to prove himself has provoked stunning performances. The question is, can he continue it? Despite the fans' disinterest in the player, Conte has always believed in the pint-sized forward and he may well be an intriguing figure to select in the upcoming match against Parma -- the player's former club. Another win and a clean sheet against Roberto Donadoni's men would make it a perfect week for the Champions of Italy. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 4 - 0 CATANIA Arturo Vidal (26′) Andrea Pirlo (34′) Carlos Tévez (65') Leonardo Bonucci (71′) October 30, 2013 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Marco Guida Attendance:‬ 38000‎ Initial reaction and random observations Oct 30, 2013 How do you follow up a dominating 2-0 win over Genoa? Well, with some more domination, of course. Juventus' 4-0 win over Catania on Wednesday night in Turin was exactly what you'd want to see when the top of the table meets a possible relegation contender — complete domination. http://markting10.nl/ I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting the feeling that Juventus are enjoying the fact they're finally playing in front of their hometown crowd. And luckily for Antonio Conte and his squad, they're going to be doing a lot of that before the next international break. Outside of the trip to Parma over the weekend, guess where Juventus will be playing the rest of their games before another two-week pause in the action? Yeah, that's right — Juventus Stadium. Job done, on to the next one. http://markting10.nl/ Oh, and one more thing: Anybody in the mood for some poker? Valid question. Random thoughts and observations •Leonardo Bonucci's haircut...yikes. At least he scored a goal to make up for the hair and, more importantly, the less-than-stellar performance. Now that I've got that out of my system, we can talk about the actual game. •Giorgio Chiellini, that was one hell of a game. Seemed like whenever Juve needed a shot to be blocked or a crucial tackle made, it was Giorgio coming through with it. A unnecessary yellow at the end of the game might have dampened his game a little bit, but he was absolutely vital. If only he didn't get unjustly sent off against Real Madrid a week ago... http://markting10.nl/ •How do you know Fernando Llorente is getting closer and closer to being the Fernando Llorente of old? It was a relatively quiet and subdue game for the Lion King and he still had an impact in the game — an assist and also played a role in Juve's opener. If only he had put away that header in the first half. That would have been awesome. •Andrea Pirlo's free kick was an absolute pearl. Not a bad way to celebrate your 100th game in a Juventus jersey, huh? Somebody post the gif. I want to watch that for the next hour or two. http://markting10.nl/ •Carlos Tevez keeps scoring goals. It's like every time he finds the back of the net he's giving the middle finger to the notion that some players take awhile to adjust to life in Serie A. Or something like that. Every goal that he scores, the price Juve paid for him looks more and more like an absolute steal. •When I saw Paolo De Ceglie's name in the starting lineup, I didn't really know what to expect. His playing time has been so incredibly limited this season, how he'd play would be anybody's best guess. The end product, though, was a very pleasant surprise. His crosses were dangerous, his defensive effort wasn't disastrous, and resembled a player who had been getting consistent minutes this season. Kwadwo Asamoah gave Juve a presence on the left wing against Genoa, DJ Paulino just seemed to carry it over into the win over Catania. http://markting10.nl/ •Speaking of wingbacks, Mauricio Isla was pretty solid for the second straight game. Remember when everybody never wanted to see his face again earlier this season? That was fun. •Two clean sheets in a row. Who would have thought that would happen a couple weeks ago when Juve'sdefense was playing like a bunch of buffoons? •Sebastian Giovinco has done pretty well off the bench this season. I know he's been battling a bit of an injury — Conte said he's taking painkillers before every game — and being a second-half sub is probably not the role he'd chose compared to starting on a regular basis, but he's definitely settling nicely into this super-sub deal. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 4 - 0 CATANIA Arturo Vidal (26′) Andrea Pirlo (34′) Carlos Tévez (65') Leonardo Bonucci (71′) October 30, 2013 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Marco Guida Attendance:‬ 38000‎ Juve romp past Catania Oct 30, 2013 Juventus scored two goals in each half to brush past Catania 4-0 on Wednesday night. http://markting10.nl/ The defending champions - upstaged by Roma so far this season - were never in danger from the moment Arturo Vidal put them ahead in the 27th minute. Andrea Pirlo added a second in the 34th minute, before Carlos Tevez (66) and Leonardo Bonucci (71) made extra sure. Catania's frustration at slipping into the bottom three was summed up by Tiberio Guarente's 84th-minute minute second yellow card. http://markting10.nl/ Catania's and Guarente's night never really got going and Juve's opener had a touch of fortune about it. Vidal took aim from 25 yards but as Guarente dived across him to try to block the shot, he only served to deflect it beyond Mariano Andujar in the away goal. A second duly followed and it was Pirlo at his majestic best. http://markting10.nl/ The veteran midfielder applied virtually no backlift to a free-kick on the edge of the box, but it was still good enough to beat Andujar. Juve never looked like allowing Catania to chip away at their lead and Tevez then made the win even safer as he scored their third. http://markting10.nl/ Nicola Legrotagglie dived in to try to dispossess Fernando Llorente on the edge of the area, but only succeeded in setting Tevez free. He took a touch round the keeper and slotted in with some ease. All that was left was for Bonucci to round things off, opening his body up on the penalty spot after finishing left-footed as he was left unmarked from a short corner. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 4 - 0 CATANIA Arturo Vidal (26′) Andrea Pirlo (34′) Carlos Tévez (65') Leonardo Bonucci (71′) October 30, 2013 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Marco Guida Attendance:‬ 38000‎ Bianconeri hit four in easy win over Elefanti Oct 30, 2013 Juventus smashed Catania 4-0 in a one-sided affair at the Juventus Stadium on Wednesday evening in Serie A. http://markting10.nl/ A deflected Arturo Vidal effort, an Andrea Pirlo free kick, and second half strikes from Carlos Tevez and Leonardo Bonucci gave the Bianconeri a convincing victory over the Elefanti, who had Tiberio Guarente sent off late in the game. The first opportunity fell to the home side after two minutes when Fernando Llorente linked up with Tevez on the edge of the Catania penalty area and the Argentinian fired a shot just over the bar. Juve controlled the opening exchanges and pressed forward with intent but efforts from Vidal and Pirlo did not trouble Mariano Andujar in the Catania goal. After weathering the early storm the Elefanti had a brief period of looking more assured in possession and a counter attack resulted in a Gonzalo Bergessio shot which was deflected wide for a corner but De Canio’s men were unable to capitalise. http://markting10.nl/ Juve again went on the attack with 20 minutes gone and a good cross from De Ceglie was met by Llorente who couldn’t direct his header on target. The Bianconeri continued to assert their authority, however they had to rely on a slice of luck to take the lead on 27 minutes when Vidal fired a speculative shot from 20 yards which took a heavy deflection to deceive Andujar. Sergio Almiron was then adjudged to have fouled Carlos Tevez on the edge of the Catania penalty area and Andrea Pirlo stepped up to curl in the resulting free-kick and give his side a commanding two goal advantage with 34 minutes played. http://markting10.nl/ The remainder of the first half proved comfortable for the home side with Gianluigi Buffon having very little to deal with. Catania started the second half the brighter of the two sides but were unable to make the most of several set pieces in threatening positions, while Bergessio also hit a tame effort straight at Buffon. Juve looked happy to let their opponents keep possession and counter attack when possible. This was evident with two chances on 59 minutes when firstly Andujar had to be alert to beat Vidal to a Tevez through-ball and then Claudio Marchisio hit the post with a powerful effort from the left side of the penalty area. http://markting10.nl/ Giorgio Chiellini had to be alert shortly after when a slip by Bonucci let in Almiron but Chiellini was able to avert the danger before the Argentinian could get a shot away. The game was put beyond doubt on 66 minutes when Llorente beat Nicola Legrottaglie to the ball to play in Tevez who rounded Andujar and netted the Bianconeri’s third goal. With the game secured Tevez was then replaced with Sebastian Giovinco who won a corner on 71 minutes and after playing a one-two from the set piece, the forward set up Bonucci for an easy finish to further extend Juve’s lead. http://markting10.nl/ As the game moved into the final 10 minutes the pace had dropped considerably and things went from bad to worse for the Elefanti on 84 minutes when Tiberio Guarente was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for a sliding challenge on Marchisio. Giovinco forced Andujar into two smart saves late on but Juve were unable to increase their already comfortable lead. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Oct 30, 2013 The Bianconeri were back on track beating Genoa 2-0 on Sunday, ending a run of two straight defeats in all competition. There was still tension, as Antonio Conte refused to speak to the media and he was without Mirko Vucinic, Fabio Quagliarella, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Simone Pepe. Martin Caceres and Paolo De Ceglie made rare starts. Catania made their debut under Coach Luigi De Canio in a 0-0 draw with Sassuolo, so confidence was low. Jaroslav Plasil, Nicolas Spolli, Giuseppe Bellusci, Monzon, Kingsley Boateng and Pablo Barrientos missed out, so 19-year-old Bruno Petkovic started in attack. http://markting10.nl/ The Sicilians conquered Turin in December 2009, but this season Juve had a 100 per cent record at home in Serie A and Catania had lost all of their away games. It was also a reunion, as Conte worked as De Canio’s assistant manager at Siena in 2005-06. Carlos Tevez had a couple of early opportunities, but Gonzalo Bergessio was relatively unmarked on Keko’s counter-attack and had his shot desperately charged down as he pulled the trigger. Fernando Llorente’s glancing header turned a Paolo De Caglie cross inches wide, but a stroke of luck gave Juve the advantage. http://markting10.nl/ Arturo Vidal’s effort from distance took a double deflection off Tiberio Guarente and Alexis Rolin to wrong-foot Mariano Andujar at the near stick. Andrea Pirlo doubled their lead with one of his trademark free kicks, curling over the wall where the goalkeeper was unsighted. Tevez slipped just before the break, scuffing his shot into the arms of Andujar. Straight after the restart Petkovic and Bergessio had interesting opportunities, but Claudio Marchisio’s fierce strike cracked against the post. http://markting10.nl/ Tevez got his name on the scoresheet when pouncing on a ricochet off Llorente and dribbling round Andujar. He celebrated by putting the ball under his jersey and sending kisses to his partner in the crowd. Leonardo Bonucci did not have the best game, but he still made it 4-0 when tapping in a well-worked corner set up for him by substitute Sebastian Giovinco. Guarente received a second yellow card for his foul from behind on Marchisio, completing Catania’s nightmare evening. http://markting10.nl/ Juventus: Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Chiellini; Isla, Vidal (Pogba 61), Pirlo, Marchisio, De Ceglie; Tevez (Giovinco 67), Llorente (Motta 74) Catania: Andujar; Rolin (Capuano 67), Legrottaglie, Gyomber; Alvarez, Guarente, Almiron, Biraghi (Castro 46); Keko; Petkovic (Maxi Lopez 65), Bergessio Ref: Guida Sent off: Guarente 84 © http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Oct 30, 2013 Juventus stayed hot on the heels of Serie A leaders Roma with a massive 4-0 win over Catania in Turin on Wednesday. http://markting10.nl/ Catania posed a threat on the counterattack early on, but Juventus took a deserved lead in the 26th minute as Carlos Tevez laid the ball off for Arturo Vidal on the edge of the area and his low strike found the net via two deflections. Juve's second goal arrived only eight minutes later as Sergio Almiron tripped compatriot Tevez just outside the visitors' area and Andrea Pirlo placed the free kick into the top corner on his 100th appearance for the club. The away side posed more of a threat after half-time, but Juve got the third goal in the 65th minute as Tevez went around the goalkeeper and slotted home following Fernando Llorente's knock-down. http://markting10.nl/ A fourth duly arived with just under 20 minutes to go as substitute Sebastian Giovinco did well down the left before cutting back into the area for Leonardo Bonucci and the defender calmly found the net. Catania's miserable night was compounded when Tiberio Guarente was sent off late on for a rash challenge on Claudio Marchisio. Juventus had only lost once in their 12 league matches against Catania since 2006 and the visitors rarely looked like improving on that record as the champions controlled proceedings throughout. http://markting10.nl/ Antonio Conte made three changes from Juve's 2-0 win over Genoa on Sunday, with the most notable alteration seeing Marchisio replace Paul Pogba, while Catania changed four players. Tevez was particularly lively in the first 10 minutes as he fired just over from 20 yards, before volleying straight at Mariano Andujar after latching on to Bonucci’s lofted pass. Juventus had been unlucky in front of goal, but they opened the scoring 26 minutes in as Vidal’s low shot was deflected past the helpless Andujar. http://markting10.nl/ A few moments later the referee ignored Tevez’s penalty claims as former Juve man Nicola Legrottaglie barged the Argentina international over, but the hosts did double their lead in the 34th minute thanks to a pin-point Pirlo free kick. Catania coach Luigi De Canio saw his side begin the second half well, but Bruno Petkovic spurned two chances as he headed off target from a free-kick before rounding Gianluigi Buffon and shooting wide. Tevez put the game beyond all doubt with 25 minutes to go as he coolly took the ball past Andujar and poked into an empty net, but the hosts were not finished yet. http://markting10.nl/ Juve got their fourth goal of the game 71 minutes in as Bonucci found the net from close range after good work down the left by Giovinco. With six minutes left, Guarente received a straight red card for a tough tackle on Marchisio, compounding Catania's defeat as Juve completed a 23nd consecutive league match in which they have scored. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS - CATANIA October 30, 2013 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Marco Guida Line-ups: Juventus-Catania Oct 30, 2013 Juventus stick with Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente to welcome Luigi De Canio’s new Catania. http://markting10.nl/ The Serie A Week 10 fixture starts in Turin at 20.45 CET. Antonio Conte refused to speak to the media in the build-up to this game, despite ending the negative streak with a 2-0 win over Genoa on Sunday. He is still without Mirko Vucinic, Fabio Quagliarella, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Simone Pepe. http://markting10.nl/ Tevez and Llorente again lead the line, but Mauricio Isla, Martin Caceres and Paolo De Ceglie step in, while Paul Pogba is rested. Catania sacked Rolando Maran last week and made their debut under new Coach De Canio on Sunday, scraping a 0-0 draw with Sassuolo. He has to do without Jiroslav Plasil, Nicolas Spolli, Giuseppe Bellusci, Monzon, Kingsley Boateng and Pablo Barrientos, so reshuffles his side. http://markting10.nl/ Mariano Izco is only fit for the Catania bench, while 19-year-old Bruno Petkovic is a surprise starter. It is also a reunion, as Conte worked as De Canio’s assistant manager at Siena in 2005-06. Juventus: Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Chiellini; Isla, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, De Ceglie; Tevez, Llorente Catania: Andujar; Rolin, Legrottaglie, Gyomber; Alvarez, Guarente, Almiron, Keko, Biraghi; Petkovic, Bergessio http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Conte: Pirlo should win Ballon d'Or The 34-year-old remains a key player for club and country and his coach believes he is worthy of winning the prestigious award this year. Oct 30, 2013 Andrea Pirlo deserves to win the 2013 Ballon d'Or, according to his Juventus boss Antonio Conte. http://markting10.nl/ The 34-year-old was pivotal in the Old Lady's surge to Scudetto glory last season, and remains a key man for both the Bianconeri and Italy. And though the likes of Franck Ribery, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are clear favourites for the award, Conte admits he would give it to the classy playmaker. "For me, if there was one winner it would be Pirlo," he told giornalaccio rosa dello Sport. http://markting10.nl/ "I know it's unlikely to happen, what with players like Messi, Ronaldo, Ribery and Ibrahimovic up for the award, but he deserves it. It would be great to see him win it." Conte also expressed his disbelief that Francesco Totti has not made the 23-man shortlist, considering his inspirational performances for Roma so far this season. http://markting10.nl/ "It is incredible that there is no Totti on the list," he continued. "Fifa must simply have forgotten him."
