JUVENTUS - CATANIA October 30, 2013 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Marco Guida MATCH PREVIEW Oct 30, 2013 Reigning champions Juventus will host Catania in Turin this Week 10 as they look to make it two wins on the trot. http://markting10.nl/ After going down away to Fiorentina and Real Madrid, Antonio Conte’s men responded well as they convincingly defeated Genoa at home over the weekend. With Roma maintaining their perfect start to the season, the Old Lady have to continue winning if they are to keep the Romans from extending their five-point lead at the top of the table. Conte will have an almost complete squad to choose from with Stephan Lichtsteiner the only starting-XI player missing in action through injury. http://markting10.nl/ Given this is a busy week of fixtures, the former midfielder will probably make a couple of changes to keep his charges fresh with Martin Caceres and Angelo Ogbonna tipped to come in for Andrea Barzagli and Mauricio Isla. Catania will not be relishing their trip to Turin. The Sicilians are on a poor run of form having not won since September while they have yet to pick up a single point on their travels this season. In addition, their leading goal-scorer Pablo Barrientos is out injured along with Giuseppe Bellusci, Fabian Monzon and Nicolas Spolli. http://markting10.nl/ Form Guide: Juventus (W W W L W) Catania (L W D L D) Last season: Juventus 1-0 Catania Stat fact: Catania won this fixture in 2009. Keep an eye on: Fernando Llorente (Juventus) – Despite playing a bit-part role at the beginning of the campaign, in recent games the Spanish forward has been given more playing time and he will be eager to repay Antonio Conte with a goal or maybe two. Llorente’s solitary Serie A goal this season came in a home fixture so he will hope to give them something to cheer about again. http://markting10.nl/ Juventus (probable): Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Isla, Marchisio, Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah; Llorente, Tevez Catania (probable): Andujar; Alvarez, Gyomber, Rolin, Biraghi; Izco, Tachtsidis, Almiron; Keko, Bergessio, Castro 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 Juventus squad for Catania Oct 29, 2013 Antonio Conte names an unchanged Juventus squad for tomorrow night’s game with Catania. http://markting10.nl/ This is the same group of players who beat Genoa 2-0 at the Juventus Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Serie A Week 10 fixture kicks off in Turin at 20.45 CET. http://markting10.nl/ It means Mirko Vucinic, Fabio Quagliarella, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Simone Pepe are still unavailable. Juventus squad for Catania: Buffon, Chiellini, Caceres, Ogbonna, Pogba, Marchisio, Tevez, De Ceglie, Giovinco, Peluso, Llorente, Barzagli, Motta, Bonucci, Padoin, Pirlo, Asamoah, Vidal, Storari, Isla, Rubinho 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 De Canio: Juve have to have a bad day Oct 29, 2013 New Catania boss Luigi De Canio believes his side can beat Juventus when they face each other tomorrow evening. http://markting10.nl/ The Elefanti host the Scudetto holders on Wednesday, and the new tactician, who was brought in earlier this month to replace Rolando Maran, is confident that his men can come away with all three points. “Juve are a great team,” he told a Press conference. “You could see against Genoa at the weekend that they are playing at their best. “But every game has its own story and we’ll try to play to win. We’ll do everything to get the three points. http://markting10.nl/ “We have to back ourselves to win and try to fight against Juve with skill and determination. We also have to hope they are having a bad day. “I want to see the sort of grit that we showed during the first half against Sassuolo – but we also have to be aware that they will pose a real challenge. “A win tomorrow would mean a lot, so we have to give everything.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

PSG to switch Verratti for Pogba? Oct 29, 2013 Paris Saint-Germain could be targeting a move for Paul Pogba, and may use Marco Verratti as a potential sweetener, according to reports. http://markting10.nl/ Tuttosport have claimed that the French side are desperate to sign the Juventus midfielder, despite the 20-year-old expected to sign a new four-year contract with the Bianconeri. That new deal will not put Laurent Blanc’s men off though, and could offer Verratti in return for the former Manchester United man. http://markting10.nl/ President Andrea Agnelli recently admitted that the club would not be able to turn down a huge offer for Pogba, and getting the Italy international in return for the Bleus youngster may be too good to refuse.

Llorente: Conte believes in me Oct 29, 2013 Fernando Llorente has revealed how important Antonio Conte was in his decision to sign for Juventus. http://markting10.nl/ The Spanish international moved to Turin in the summer on a Bosman free transfer after his contract at Athletic Bilbao expired. After initially struggling for action, the centre-forward is now appearing with much more regularity for the Old Lady. “I’m happy to be playing for this club,” he told beIN Sport. “It is a great one who believed in me and that was the most important thing. http://markting10.nl/ “Before arriving I regularly spoke with Conte and his belief in me pushed me to sign for Juventus. “It was difficult at the start for me to settle in Italy. This was a new club, a new language – everything was tough. “But I feel much better and I want to demonstrate what I can do.” http://markting10.nl/ Conte had insisted that his reluctance in using the player at the start of 2013-14 was because Llorente needed time to rediscover his form. “I wasn’t lying when I said that we needed to be patient and wait for Llorente to return to the player he was before,” the tactician stated to beIN Sport. “Last season was difficult for him as a footballer and professionally because he wasn’t treated well at Atheltic Bilbao. He hardly played. http://markting10.nl/ “He also needed time to become familiar with our system and the intensity of our training sessions.” Llorente has two goals in eight appearances for the Bianconeri so far this term.

JUVENTUS - CATANIA October 30, 2013 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Marco Guida Juventus-Catania Preview: Champions out to extend seven-game unbeaten run over struggling Sicilians The Bianconeri were buoyed by a convincing 2-0 win over Genoa at the weekend and will be fully confident of three points against a side who haven't beaten them since 2009. Oct 29, 2013 Juventus will attempt to extend their seven-match unbeaten run against Catania in Serie A when the two sides meet on Wednesday. The reigning champions have not tasted defeat against the Sicilians since a 2-1 setback in December 2009, and won both of last season's league fixtures 1-0. http://markting10.nl/ Juve have also lost just once in Serie A this term, and bounced back from their 4-2 defeat at Fiorentina - which they followed up with a 2-1 Champions League reverse at Real Madrid - with a comfortable 2-0 home success against Genoa on Sunday. Arturo Vidal and Carlos Tevez got the goals at Juventus Stadium, and defender Giorgio Chiellini is confident the team can build on their performance after the disappointments of Florence and Madrid. "We analysed everything over the past few days and saw that certain things could have gone differently," the Italy international said. http://markting10.nl/ "But I can say that I saw the right spark in Madrid and today we once again saw another Juventus - ruthless and aggressive, just as the coach wants. "We started with the right anger and aggression and swarmed Genoa in the first-half. "Now we'll be confident in approaching Wednesday's game against Catania." http://markting10.nl/ Forwards Fabio Quagliarella and Mirko Vucinic and defender Stephan Lichtsteiner all remain sidelined with thigh injuries, and are unlikely to return in time to face Luigi De Canio's side. Catania sit just outside the Serie A relegation zone in 17th position after taking just six points from nine matches so far this campaign. They have failed to win in their last three league fixtures, including a 0-0 stalemate with fellow strugglers Sassuolo on Sunday. http://markting10.nl/ The Stadio Angelo Massimino outfit are also winless in their last 10 top-flight away games, and are the division's lowest scorers this season, having found the net just six times.

Conte: Llorente mistreated by Athletic Bilbao The coach says that the Bianconeri are only now seeing the best of the Spaniard because he needed time to recover from his final season in La Liga. Oct 29, 2012 Juventus boss Antonio Conte has claimed that Fernando Llorente was always going to need time to settle in Turin as the forward "was not treated well" by former club Athletic Bilbao. http://markting10.nl/ The Spain international, who joined the Bianconeri on a free transfer during the summer, was repeatedly overlooked during the early stages of the Serie A season. However, Llorente, who fell out of favour with then-Athletic boss Marcelo Bielsa last season, has forced his way into the Juve starting line-up in recent weeks and Conte insists that he always knew that the striker would come good. "I wasn’t lying when I said that we needed to be patient and wait for Llorente to return to the player he was before," the former Italy international told beIN Sport. http://markting10.nl/ "Last season was difficult for him as a footballer and professionally because he wasn’t treated well at Athletic Bilbao. He hardly played. "He also needed time to become familiar with our system and the intensity of our training sessions." Llorente, for his part, freely admits that it took him a while to feel at home in Turin and that Conte's continued support proved crucial in that regard. http://markting10.nl/ "I’m happy to be playing for this club," the 28-year-old told beIN Sport. "It is a great one who believed in me and that was the most important thing. "Before arriving I regularly spoke with Conte and his belief in me pushed me to sign for Juventus. "It was difficult at the start for me to settle in Italy. This was a new club, a new language - everything was tough. http://markting10.nl/ "But I feel much better and I want to demonstrate what I can do." Llorente has netted two goals so far this season for Juve, with his most recent strike coming in last weekend's 2-1 Champions League loss to Real Madrid.

Juventus duo on Ballon d’Or lists Oct 29, 2013 Juventus playmaker Andrea Pirlo and boss Antonio Conte are on the shortlists for the 2013 FIFA Golden Ball awards. http://markting10.nl/ Pirlo is the only Italian included on the 23-man shortlist in the World Player of the Year category after winning his second consecutive Scudetto with the Old Lady. Conte, meanwhile, is one of 10 tacticians who are in the running to be named as the 2013 FIFA World Coach of the Year. Italian tactician Carlo Ancelotti, now at Real Madrid, and Napoli boss Rafael Benitez have also been short-listed. http://markting10.nl/ The head Coaches and captains of national sides, as well as journalists selected by France Football magazine, will now vote for the winner. The top three for each award will be unveiled at the start of December before the names of the winners will be announced on January 13, 2014. http://markting10.nl/ FIFA Ballon d’Or 2013: Gareth Bale (Wales), Edinson Cavani (Uruguay), Radamel Falcao (Colombia), Eden Hazard (Belgium), Zlatan Ibrahimović (Sweden), Andrés Iniesta (Spain), Philipp Lahm (Germany), Robert Lewandowski (Poland), Lionel Messi (Argentina), Thomas Müller (Germany), Manuel Neuer (Germany), Neymar (Brazil), Mesut Özil (Germany), Andrea Pirlo (Italy), Franck Ribéry (France), Arjen Robben (Netherlands), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Germany), Luis Suárez (Uruguay), Thiago Silva (Brazil), Yaya Touré (Côte d’Ivoire), Robin Van Persie (Netherlands), Xavi (Spain). http://markting10.nl/ World Coach of the Year 2013: Carlo Ancelotti (Italy/Paris Saint-Germain FC/Real Madrid CF), Rafael Benítez (Spain/Chelsea FC/SSC Napoli), Antonio Conte (Italy/Juventus), Vicente Del Bosque (Spain/Spain national team), Sir Alex Ferguson (Scotland/Manchester United FC former Coach), Jupp Heynckes (Germany/FC Bayern München former Coach), Jürgen Klopp (Germany/Borussia Dortmund), José Mourinho (Portugal/Real Madrid CF/Chelsea FC), Luiz Felipe Scolari (Brazil/Brazil national team), Arsène Wenger (France/Arsenal FC).

JUVENTUS - CATANIA October 30, 2013 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Marco Guida Team News, Tactics, Possible Line-ups And Prediction Oct 28, 2013 Juventus showed signs of getting back to their best form as they dispatched Genoa over the weekend. Their next opponents Catania have started the season extremely poorly but have managed to get some points in last four matches. http://markting10.nl/ Team News and Tactical Brief JUVENTUS After two back to back defeats in the span of just four days, Juventus needed a strong result against Genoa at home and Antonio Conte’s side responded in style. The Old Lady was in firm control right from kick-off, camping in Genoa half and creating a flurry of chances. Mattia Perin was in inspired form and made at least half a dozen top drawers saves while Arturo Vidal struck the frame once. Despite Perin, Juventus raced to a 2-0 lead at half time with Arturo Vidal converting a dodgy penalty and Carlos Tevez slotting a well taken goal after a pass from Kwadwo Asamoah. The second half was a quieter affair with Juventus slowing things down. There were no more goals in this match but importantly, the Juventus defence often under fire this season, kept their first home clean-sheet as their opponents failed to get a single shot on target. http://markting10.nl/ Juve is likely to retain the 3-5-2 formation against Catania as per most media reports. Mauricio Isla had a relatively solid outing against Genoa and may get yet another start as right wing-back as the club keeps up its effort to bring up the Chilean’s confidence. The trio of Barzagli, Bonucci and Chiellini also looked comfortable against Genoa but one of them may get some rest against Catania with either Martin Caceres or Angelo Ogbonna getting a shout. Claudio Marchisio was rested against Genoa and is likely to get back a starting spot. Asamoah had one his best games as a left wing-back on the weekend, adding to his strong performance against Fiorentina in first half of the previous round. The Ghanaian was pulled out late in second half and should be back as the starting LWB against Catania. Fernando Llorente is steadily growing in confidence and was rather unlucky to have not scored at least once last weekend. His hold up play, ability to play with his back towards the goal and extremely good first touch created ample space for both Vidal and Tevez. The former Athletic Bilbao striker is likely to start with Carlos Tevez, who notched his fifth goal in eight matches for Juventus against Genoa. http://markting10.nl/ Possible Starting XI (3-5-2): Buffon; Chiellini, Bonucci, Caceres; Isla, Marchisio, Pirlo, Vidal, Asamoah; Llorente, Tevez CATANIA Catania have been on an upward curve for last three seasons. In 2010/11 they finished 13th before improving by two spots the following season. In 2012/13 they were one of the biggest surprise packages in the league and for large parts of the season seemed like clinching a spot in Europe. They eventually fell short of European slots but nonetheless, finished a highly creditable 8th, ahead of Internazionale. Their progress though, seems to have hit a bumper so far this season. With just six points from 9 matches the Sicilians find themselves just one place above relegation zone, just because of goal difference. The last few rounds have shown some signs of recovery with Gli Elefanti losing only once in four matches. Their biggest problem so far has been scoring goals and their tally of six goals in the lowest in league till now. Catania also has never defeated Juventus in the Conte era and have lost each of their last three head to head clashes. http://markting10.nl/ Luigi Di Canio was employed a few days back after Catania management decided that Rolando Maran was no longer suited for the job. Di Canio may field a 4-3-3 formation but his main intention will be pull back the attacking wingers into more defensive positions and match Juventus’ midfield’s superiority. Former Juventus defender Nicola Legrottaglie will make a return to Turin and is likely to start at the heart of Elefanti defence. Catania’s defence has not been as poor as their table position and they have conceded lesser goals than the likes of Milan and Torino who are placed in mid-table. 24 year old Uruguayan Alexis Rolin is likely partner Legrottaglie in central defence. Another former Juventus player, Sergio Almiron has been a regular starter for Catania this season. The Argentine midfielder will have the enviable task of shutting down an in-form Arturo Vidal in central midfield. 22 year old Greek midfielder Panagiotis Tachtsidis had an unflattering season at Roma last season but has done reasonably well in Catania so far. His passing % leaves a lot to be desired but his defensive shift may make a difference in Juventus stadium. http://markting10.nl/ Pablo Barrientos has scored 3 goals from 12 shots in seven matches but has been largely off colour in most of the games. Juventus defence has been error prone this season but with the Argentine likely to operate in a more defensive against the three Juve defenders, things will get very difficult for him. Possible Starting XI (4-3-3): Andujar; Alvarez, Legrottaglie, Rolin, Biraghi; Plasil, Almiron, Tachtsidis; Castro, Bergessio, Barrientos Players to Watch Out For Arturo Vidal (Juventus) The Chilean’s form in past one month has been a bit dodgy and he looked out of sorts after coming on as a substitute against Fiorentina. Like the true warrior that he is, Vidal pulled his act together and was possibly the best player on the pitch against Real Madrid. The midfielder coolly slotted a penalty against Genoa and was in general involved in most of the attacking moves. Vidal is likely to become the best paid Juventus player soon and will be looking to continue his strong run of form. Jaroslav Plašil (Catania) The experienced Czech midfielder was brought on loan from Bordeaux to add some quality to Catania midfield. With 22 successful long balls out of 28 attempted, Plašil is one of the most creative players in the team. The 31 year old will come up against one of the strongest midfields in the continent and his performance in middle of the park will be vital for the away team. http://markting10.nl/ Prediction Juventus 2-0 Catania Form book is likely to hold the key with Juventus playing in home. Conte will be looking to maintain the positive momentum with big clashes against Real Madrid and Napoli coming up soon.

JUVENTUS - CATANIA October 30, 2013 - 8:45 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Marco Guida Preview: Juventus vs. Catania Oct 28, 2013 Juventus can close the gap on Serie A leaders Roma on Wednesday when they play host to struggling Catania. http://markting10.nl/ Antonio Conte's side, who are currently five points off the top of the table, come into the match on the back of Sunday's 2-0 win at home to Genoa. Catania travel to the Juventus Stadium without a win in three matches - a run that has seen them stay out of the relegation zone by virtue of goal difference. http://markting10.nl/ Their last result came at the weekend when they drew 0-0 with Sassuolo. Juve will be without Fabio Quagliarella, Mirko Vucinic, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Simone Pepe. Kingsley Boateng could return for the visitors, while Fabian Monzon is expected to miss out. Recent form: Juventus: WDWLLW Catania: DLWDLD Possible lineups: Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Isla, Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah; Tevez, Llorente Catania: Andujar; Izco, Gyomber, Rolin, Biraghi; Plasil, Tachtsidis, Almiron; Keko, Bergessio, Castro Sports Mole says: 2-0 http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Tevez rejects Juventus responsibility The Argentine has pointed out he is not solely in charge of ensuring the club retain their league title and called upon his team-mates to form a collective strength. Oct 28, 2013 Carlos Tevez has rejected taking full responsibility for Juventus' fortunes this season and says each player has an equal role in ensuring the club win more silverware. http://markting10.nl/ After defeats to Fiorentina and Real Madrid, the Bianconeri returned to winning ways thanks to goals by Arturo Vidal and Tevez, which saw them beat Genoa 2-0 on Sunday. However, the Argentina star has rejected taking full responsibility for the success of the side, saying all the players are in charge of the outcome. "I'm not the leader, they are all leaders here at Juventus," the 29-year-old told Corriere dello Sport. http://markting10.nl/ "I want to help this team in any way, thus they can form a collective and grow. "If Juventus do not win, it is said we are in a crisis. This time we put in the right intensity, and when we play like that we can cause problems to anyone. "After the game against Fiorentina we have given the right responses especially in the first half. We played as Conte always asks us to do. http://markting10.nl/ Third-placed Juve are currently five points behind leaders Roma, but Tevez feels it is too early to be worried about possibly losing their crown to a rejuventated Giallorossi. "We are calm, the road is still very long, there are still many matches to play until the end of the season."

Chiellini hails aggressive Juventus Oct 28, 2013 Giorgio Chiellini is delighted that the real Juventus turned up in the 2-0 win over Genoa on Sunday. http://markting10.nl/ The Old Lady have had a problematic start to the season and went into the Rossoblu tie following defeats at Fiorentina and Real Madrid. “We analysed everything over the past few days and saw that certain things could have gone differently,” the centre-back commented. “But I can say that I saw the right spark in Madrid and today we once again saw another Juventus, ruthless and aggressive, just as the Coach wants. http://markting10.nl/ “We started with the right anger, the right aggression and swarmed Genoa in the first half. Only an inspired Mattia Perin performance [in goal] prevented us from adding to our tally. “It was a true Juve performance. Now we’ll be confident in approaching Wednesday’s game against Catania.” The Old Lady have dropped just five points in Serie A this season, but they remain adrift of leaders Roma who have a 100 per cent record after nine games.

JUVENTUS 2 - 0 GENOA Arturo Vidal (23′-PG) Carlos Tévez (36′) October 27, 2013 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Daniele Doveri Attendance:‬ 38000‎ Season is long, says Tevez Oct 28, 2013 Juventus forward Carlos Tevez is not overly concerned with Roma’s unstoppable Serie A charge at this stage of the season. http://markting10.nl/ The Giallorossi made it nine wins from nine at Udinese on Sunday, thus maintaining their five-point advantage over Juve and Napoli. “It’s no problem, there’s a long way to go,” the Argentine stated when asked about another three points for the Giallorossi. “The important thing is that we carry on playing like this.” http://markting10.nl/ The summer signing from Manchester City was speaking after he scored in the 2-0 win over Genoa – a victory which came after losses at Fiorentina and Real Madrid. “We needed to respond to our defeat in Florence and we managed to do just that,” he added. “We played in the way that boss Antonio Conte had asked us to. “Am I a leader and example? I’m always keen to help out my teammates, especially since people were saying that we were in crisis.” The Old Lady entertain Catania in the midweek round. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 2 - 0 GENOA Arturo Vidal (23′-PG) Carlos Tévez (36′) October 27, 2013 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Daniele Doveri Attendance:‬ 38000‎ Chiellini: Juventus were ruthless The Bianconeri defender was very satisfied with the way the Scudetto holders bounced back after two consecutive defeats. Oct 28, 2013 Giorgio Chiellini has hailed Juventus' aggressive approach in their 2-0 Serie A win over Genoa at the weekend, believing they showed their true character again after the Champions League defeat against Real Madrid in midweek. http://markting10.nl/ Arturo Vidal opened the scoring halfway through the first half when he converted a spot kick, before Carlos Tevez made it two shortly after to help the reigning champions to three points. And Chiellini was delighted with his side's display following their Champions League disappointment. "We analysed everything over the past few days and saw that certain things could have gone differently. But I can say that I saw the right spark in Madrid and today we once again saw another Juventus, ruthless and aggressive, just as the coach wants," Chiellini told reporters. http://markting10.nl/ "We started with the right anger and aggression and swarmed Genoa in the first half. Only an inspired [Mattia] Perin performance prevented us from adding to our tally. "Now we’ll be confident in approaching Wednesday’s game against Catania." Juventus currently sit third in Serie A with 22 points from nine games, trailing leaders Roma by five points. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 2 - 0 GENOA Arturo Vidal (23′-PG) Carlos Tévez (36′) October 27, 2013 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Daniele Doveri Attendance:‬ 38000‎ Conte impressed by Tevez & Llorente strike partnership The Juventus boss believes the two forwards are continuing to adapt to the demands of Serie A while also paying tribute to early leaders Roma. Oct 27, 2013 Juventus coach Antonio Conte thinks Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente are quickly developing into an attacking partnership to fear in Italy. http://markting10.nl/ The duo led the line as the champions recovered from recent defeats to Fiorentina and Real Madrid by beating Genoa 2-0 on Sunday, with Tevez scoring the second goal. Conte says he is delighted to see that the duo are continuing to improve as they get used to playing in Serie A following their summer moves from Manchester City and Athletic Bilbao respectively. He told Sky Sport Italia: "Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente are getting to know each other and settling into the new reality of Serie A. http://markting10.nl/ "They are doing exactly what I want and what the team needs. "Llorente is growing; we have been patient because we knew of his qualities. But I expect him to grow even more." Talking about the victory over Genoa, in which Arturo Vidal opened the scoring with a penalty, Conte was full of praise for his team's display after a difficult week for the club on the pitch. http://markting10.nl/ "It was a good performance, just as it was against Real Madrid and in the game with Fiorentina for the first 70 minutes. We didn't get what we deserved in recent games. We have to keep working on what we're doing with more intensity. "I liked the approach from my team straight away. We dominated, scored two early goals and could've had more. "When there are defeats we try to be constructive and learn from mistakes rather than assign blame." http://markting10.nl/ Asked about the other results, including 10-man Roma's 1-0 victory over Udinese, Conte was happy to congratulate his team's title rivals for their stunning start to the campaign. He added: "I must tip my hat to Roma, because winning nine consecutive games is extraordinary and makes Napoli and Juventus look bad!" http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 2 - 0 GENOA Arturo Vidal (23′-PG) Carlos Tévez (36′) October 27, 2013 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Daniele Doveri Attendance:‬ 38000‎ Player Ratings Goal were on hand to see Antonio Conte's side get back to winning ways at Juventus Stadium as Arturo Vidal and Carlos Tevez earned maximum points in Turin. Oct 27, 2013 Juventus Gianluigi Buffon - A spectator for the whole 90 minutes. Didn't have a save to make and barely had to even touch the ball. Andrea Barzagli - A solid display at the heart of the defence as he made plenty of interceptions and won his fair share of headers. Not properly tested but did well. Leonardo Bonucci - Was guilty of giving the ball away in dangerous positions on at least two occasions and wasn't as assured as his colleagues in defence. Giorgio Chiellini - Saw plenty of the ball as the home side kept possession well. Broke up play well and almost got himself on the scoresheet with powerful first-half header. Mauricio Isla - A threat coming forward on the right but final ball was sometimes lacking. Wasn't tested enough in defence by Genoa wide men. Paul Pogba - Missed two very good chances but made up for it with workmanlike display in midfield. Sometimes guilty of losing the ball but assured in possession more often than not. Andrea Pirlo - Kept the ball well and showed glimpses of talent with some sumptious passing. Delivery from set-pieces was surprisingly lacking throughout. Arturo Vidal - Expertly converted from the penalty spot after seeing earlier effort crash off the crossbar. Won plenty of tackles in midfield in excellent display. Kwadwo Asamoah - Won first-half penalty before neat footwork set up Tevez's strike. A real threat on the left-hand side and deserved standing ovation when substituted. Carlos Tévez - Took goal expertly and was a constant menace in and around the box. Could have had a hat-trick on another day whilst his passing was also exceptional. Fernando Llorente - Struggled in front of goal despite having numerous chances. Still working on partnership with Tevez up front. http://markting10.nl/ Substitutions Paolo De Ceglie - Had little time to make an impact after late substitutes appearance. Simone Padoin - Failed to make an impact after replacing Vidal in closing stages. Sebastian Giovinco - Showed willing but never got into the game after late appearance from the bench. http://markting10.nl/ Genoa Mattia Perin - Easily the visitors' standout performer as he repeatedly kept Juventus at bay. Had no chance with either goal and can leave with his head held high. Luca Antonini - Failed to deal with Asamoah and Pogba effectively in the first half but got slightly better in the second period. Thomas Manfredini- Failed to deal with Tevez and was repeatedly left for dead by the striker. Must do better against quality strikers. Daniele Portanova - The better of Genoa's two cente-backs as he made some excellent clearances under pressure. Gave ball away in possession regularly though. Luca Antonelli - Substituted at half-time after anonymous first half display. Barely had a touch on the left-hand side. Giovanni Marchese - Had only Genoa shot until stoppage time but it was certainly nothing to write home about. Had a poor game defensively. Sime Vrsaljko - Showed some nice touches but only real piece of quality came in stoppage time. Didn't do enough to help in defence during first half. Davide Biondini - Conceded penalty and regularly committed fouls. Lost the ball repeatedly though improved as the match went on. Juraj Kucka - Very disappointing in the middle of the park as he lost the ball on a regular basis. Wasted Genoa's best opportunity as he dithered in possession. Andrea Bertolacci - Worked hard but didn't have the quality to trouble Juventus' midfield and defence. Substituted in the second half. Alberto Gilardino - Did not have any quality service to get on the end of and harshly withdrawn at half-time. Defeat certainly not his fault. http://markting10.nl/ Substitutions Giannis Fetfatzidis - Showed plenty of nice touches after half-time introduction as looked the most threatening Genoa player in attack. Missed good chance in stoppage time. Adrián Ricardo Centurión - Had little time to make an impact after late substitute appearance. Moussa Konaté - Struggled to get into the game after half-time introduction. Didn't make enough space for himself to get in possession on a regular basis. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 2 - 0 GENOA Arturo Vidal (23′-PG) Carlos Tévez (36′) October 27, 2013 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Daniele Doveri Attendance:‬ 38000‎ Conte: 'Juve dominated' Oct 27, 2013 Antonio Conte was pleased with a “dominant” Juventus against Genoa and praised Serie A leaders Roma. http://markting10.nl/ “It was a good performance, just as it was against Real Madrid and in Florence for the first 70 minutes. We didn’t get what we deserved in recent games,” he told Sky Sport Italia of the 2-0 victory. “I liked the approach from my team straight away, as we dominated, scored two early goals and could’ve had more. “We finished this game unbeaten, so that’s news....” smiled Conte. http://markting10.nl/ “We have to keep working on what we’re doing with more intensity. Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente are getting to know each other and settling into the new reality of Serie A. They are doing what I want and what the team needs. “When there are defeats we try to be constructive and learn from mistakes rather than assign blame.” http://markting10.nl/ Roma are breaking away at the top of the table with a 1-0 win away to Udinese. “I must tip my hat to Roma, because winning nine consecutive games is extraordinary and makes Napoli and Juventus look bad!” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 2 - 0 GENOA Arturo Vidal (23′-PG) Carlos Tévez (36′) October 27, 2013 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Daniele Doveri Attendance:‬ 38000‎ Juventus back to winning ways Oct 27, 2013 Juventus have ended a difficult week by securing their seventh win from nine in Serie A this season, running out comfortable 2-0 winners over struggling Genoa. http://markting10.nl/ Antonio Conte returned to a three-man backline after experimenting with 4-3-3 in midweek, with Leonardo Bonucci restored to a familiar backline. The Old Lady started strongly in their preferred system but their opening goal came in contentious fashion, after they got the benefit of a penalty decision midway through the first half. Genoa felt that Kwadwo Asamoah went down under a trip from Davide Biondini following contact just outside the penalty area, but the referee disagreed and pointed to the spot. http://markting10.nl/ Arturo Vidal stepped up to break the deadlock, smashing home his penalty in assured fashion. Andrea Pirlo then forced Mattia Perin into a smart stop from range, but home pressure eventually told as Juve doubled their advantage before the interval. Carlos Tevez was the man to get their second, dribbling past his marker before aiming a clever snapshot beyond Perin and inside the far corner. http://markting10.nl/ Asamoah proved to be a consistent outlet for the Bianconeri when play resumed, while Sebastian Giovinco replaced Fernando Llorente in search of further goals. Much of the second half was played at a slower tempo but Genoa were unable to mount a response, with Conte's side maintaining their advantage comfortably to close out a routine home victory. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 2 - 0 GENOA Arturo Vidal (23′-PG) Carlos Tévez (36′) October 27, 2013 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Daniele Doveri Attendance:‬ 38000‎ Juventus back to winning ways against Genoa Oct 27, 2013 After suffering two consecutive defeats, there was only one thing Juventus had to do: secure a resounding victory. They did just that against Genoa, running out 2-0 winners. Displaying hunger, intensity and an overwhelming attacking style of play that has won them two titles under Antonio Conte, the Champions of Italy proved why they are still the most feared team in Serie A. http://markting10.nl/ Against Real Madrid they were unlucky, but against Genoa, Juventus merited the victory and perhaps ought to have won by a larger margin. Kwadwo Asamoah proved immense; Carlitos Tevez scored a golazo, Arturo Vidal provided relentless energy and even Mauricio Isla looked good as he displayed tactical intelligence. At times, defeats are a blessing in disguise and for the mighty Old Lady, they have helped her recover that hunger for a win that has intimidated her many opponents. From the opening whistle Juventus pushed and fought for an early goal. Slow to shoot, chances were wasted and crossbars were hit but Genoa's Mattia Perin deserves a medal for the number of magnificent saves he was forced to make to keep his side in the game. Yet despite the courage of the men in black and white, it took a penalty to break the deadlock, one that arrived despite the fact the foul appeared to have been committed outside the box. Vidal converted in a manner only he knows how. http://markting10.nl/ Genoa, it appeared, arrived to Turin with the idea of soaking up the pressure before counter-attacking with pace. Deployed in a 4-4-1-1 shape, they were often found defending with five at the back in a 5-4-1 formation. Yet despite the number of bodies, their lack of organisation made them vulnerable at the back and they were forced to deal with a proud Juve side desperate to get back to winning ways. Only few men in football could manage the rare moment of beauty that led to Juve's second goal. Tevez dribbled past a defender to manage an angled drive at goal. Another moment of brilliance from a man who arrived for so little money and with many wondering if he had the work ethic required to succeed in a Conte led team. However, the Argentine's quality coupled with his hard work have won over his many critics and firmly secured his place in the hearts of the fans. In the second half, Juventus somewhat eased off. They displayed maturity and intelligence to control the game even if their desperation no longer saw them push forward with ferocity. However, Genoa failed to capitalise and simply accepted their inferiority as evidenced by their failure to react, preferring to preserve their energy for future matches. http://markting10.nl/ Defensively, the home side celebrated a mini success in that they managed their second clean sheet of the season. The wing-backs proved tactically more intelligent and quickly adopted their positions when the side lost possession. If Andrea Barzagli was forward, Isla ran back to cover and Asamoah proved excellent, in both stages of the game. However, what is interesting is how little the team rely on Isla in the march forward. Few teammates opted to include him in their offensive play, usually preferring to deliver the ball to the left to depend on Asamoah's skill. In due time it is hoped Isla will earn his teammates' trust with better performances from the wide areas. Despite 70 minutes of great football against Fiorentina and a strong performance against Real Madrid, Juventus have been subjected to two consecutive defeats. Their win against Genoa was fully deserved and showed that when the pressure is on, the Bianconeri have pride and a desire to compete in every challenge. For a squad that are always expected to perform, expectations can at times be too high; the reason being that we know how good Conte's team can be when they perform to the best of their ability. With renewed motivation and an increase in intensity, Juve are still the team to beat in Serie A, even if Roma are breaking records with incredible wins this season. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 2 - 0 GENOA Arturo Vidal (23′-PG) Carlos Tévez (36′) October 27, 2013 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Daniele Doveri Attendance:‬ 38000‎ Juventus 2-0 Genoa Oct 27, 2013 Goals from Arturo Vidal and Carlos Tevez earned Juventus a comfortable 2-0 victory over Genoa in Turin but the reigning Serie A champions remain five points off the pace. http://markting10.nl/ It was a return to form for Juve, who lost at Fiorentina before suffering a Champions League defeat at Real Madrid in midweek, and the swashbuckling football on display on Sunday afternoon will go some way to reassuring coach Antonio Conte that his club can still achieve their aim of winning a third straight Scudetto. Summer signings Fernando Llorente and Tevez were particularly impressive around the visiting goal, which was admirably protected by rookie goalkeeper Mattia Perin, but it was Vidal who opened the scoring with a penalty. A superb solo effort from Tevez then made the points safe before half-time to keep the Bianconeri four points clear of resurgent Inter Milan and tied with Napoli for second place. http://markting10.nl/ Roma, however, are out of reach after winning their ninth consecutive game at the expense of Udinese. Juve began the season determined to prosper on multiple fronts but sub-par performances have seen the Turin club struggle both at home and in Europe. The first half only yielded two goals when perhaps five or six were possible, but Conte's men produced a formidable display to remind their rivals just what they are capable of. http://markting10.nl/ Llorente dazzled in the opening minutes, Paul Pogba arriving just too late to tuck the Spaniard's pass away. The former Athletic Bilbao striker excelled himself with a perfect assist to Pogba and this time Perin was lucky to win a duel with the powerful Frenchman. Genoa's goalkeeper held the Juve machine back a little longer with a superb save on Llorente from two yards and Vidal only had himself to blame when slamming the ball against the bar in the 19th minute. http://markting10.nl/ Another chance went begging for the Italian champions when Giorgio Chiellini headed inches wide of the mark. Perin would pull off another miracle save, this time on the onrushing Andrea Pirlo, but in the 23nd minute he was picking the ball out of his net. It had been a marginal call when Davide Biondini felled Kwadwo Asamoah just inside the Genoa box. http://markting10.nl/ That was irrelevant to Vidal, though, and he converted the penalty with a minimum of fuss. Juve pushed for their second goal and Pogba nearly found it after robbing Biondini on the edge of the area, but his shot was wayward. Tevez made amends in the 36th minute. http://markting10.nl/ A magnificent dribbling run left Genoa's defence standing still before an unstoppable strike evaded Perin to cap a remarkable first-half display from Juve. The interval was a welcome break for Perin who soon found himself making a double save on deadly duo Llorente and Tevez when play resumed. http://markting10.nl/ Vidal and Tevez teamed up with a view to extending their team's lead and adding to their own personal tallies but it was Llorente who deserved to score the third goal, his left-footed effort screeching wide with Perin left stranded. Juve had already done enough to win, but goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon was relieved keep a clean sheet after watching Ioannis Fetfatzidis head over his bar from a sumptuous cross from Sime Vrsaljko in stoppage time. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 2 - 0 GENOA Arturo Vidal (23′-PG) Carlos Tévez (36′) October 27, 2013 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Daniele Doveri Attendance:‬ 38000‎ Initial reaction and random observations Oct 27, 2013 These were Giorgio Chiellini's words leading up to Juventus' game against Genoa on Sunday. http://markting10.nl/ "Despite the defeat in Madrid, we realised that we can battle it out with the top clubs. We emerged with our heads held high and it sparked something within us, something that had recently been lost. Now the step up in quality will be repeating that performance against Genoa, Catania and Parma. We must begin again from Real Madrid and forget the final 15 minutes against Fiorentina, where something completely unpredictable happened." After Juve's 2-0 win at Juventus Stadium, I think it's safe to say Chiellini and his teammates were able to back up the industrious defender's words. It was a dominant Juve, one that certainly played with a purpose and showed it was the better team from pretty much the opening kickoff onwards. Even when they went up by two goals — the most dangerous lead in football to have — Juve never really wavered at all. There were no defensive breakdowns that caused a Genoa goal like we've seen against other teams some of the other games this season. http://markting10.nl/ No, this was a Juve that was solid in just about every area other than the finishing in front of goal. They entered as the vastly superior team, they showed that during the game, and they left the field with a much-deserved victory. It's a simple formula, you guys. And over the last couple of games, Juve are starting to show that they're getting back to who they really are. That's pretty good news to hear. Having a boring second half was perfectly okay with me. JuventusFC ✔ @juventusfcen Conte: It was a good performance. The difference from the last two fixtures was that we got what we deserved this afternoon http://markting10.nl/ Random thoughts and observations •Carlos Tevez was fantastic — again. Contributing defensively to win the ball back, creating scoring chances for himself and his teammates, the guy just works his tail off. Just how involved? Tevez had 71 touches in the game, Genoa's two strikers — Alberto Gilardino and Andrea Bertolacci — had 81 combined. Just another great game by a guy who has had a fair share of them to begin his Juve career. Five goals in nine Serie A games (eight starts). I'd say that's a pretty good return on Juve's investment. •Speaking of strikers, Fernando Llorente deserved a goal. He's continuing to build on each performance and his rapport with Tevez is beginning to develop as well. He was patient and waited for his opportunity and now that he's getting it, the results are starting to show up. http://markting10.nl/ •I kept thinking to myself, "If Mattia Perin can play like this consistently, he's going to turn into one hell of a goalkeeper." The overwhelming majority of Perin's seven saves against Juventus were very good. But as we've seen in the early stages of his career, the moments of brilliance can easily be replaced by moments of, well, not very good. He's still just 20 years old, so there's plenty of time for him to develop. It's just hard not to think about how good of keeper he could be if he figures it all out in the next couple of years. •On the other end of the field, Gigi Buffon had to barely do anything at all. I guess that's a sign that it was a vintage, dominating performance by Juventus. •Andrea Pirlo: 129 touches, 94 percent pass completion. Genoa gave him room to operate and he took full advantage of it. http://markting10.nl/ •How nice was it to have Kwadwo Asamoah making his presence be known on the left wing? Even with a penalty that looked to be outside of the box, the Ghanian was damn good the entire game. He was very involved, put in some dangerous crosses, and his assist on Tevez's goal was only proof of that. •Saw this question posed on Twitter: Who would you rather have take your penalties, Arturo Vidal or Mario Balotelli? Pretty good one to think about. •A Juventus clean sheet, huh? It's nice to see you again. It's been awhile, my friend. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

JUVENTUS 2 - 0 GENOA Arturo Vidal (23′-PG) Carlos Tévez (36′) October 27, 2013 3:00 PM Juventus Stadium — Turin Referee: Daniele Doveri Attendance:‬ 38000‎ Bianconeri dominate Grifone Oct 27, 2013 Juventus put a difficult week behind them as the Bianconeri defeated long-time rivals Genoa for the 12th straight time in Turin, 2-0, thanks to goals from Arturo Vidal and Carlos Tevez at the Juventus Stadium. http://markting10.nl/ Genoa had picked up four points from six follwing the return of Gian Piero Gasperini, while Juventus had lost to Fiorentina last Sunday before their midweek Champions League defeat to Real Madrid. The opening half an hour was all Juventus as the two-time Scudetto winners continually terrorised the Grifone. The Bianconeri were relentless in their attack and pushed the Genoa defence back into their own penalty area often. In the 12th minute Paul Pogba had the chance to put Juventus into the lead, but failed to convert a clear-cut opportunity as Genoa goalkeeper Mattia Perin made the save. Fernando Llorente’s rebound shot was also saved, but a Juventus goal was coming. http://markting10.nl/ Pogba and Llorente continued to find spaces in the Genoa defence and their work led to Kwadwo Asamoah getting the best of Sime Vrsaljko on the edge of the box where he was brought down by Davide Biondini. Though replays showed he was outside of the area when he was tackled, the referee pointed to the spot. Arturo Vidal calmly stepped up and put the Bianconeri into the lead. Just as Juventus’ attack was dominate throughout the first half, their defence still looked shaky and Genoa’s counterattack nearly got them back into the game. But the team were unable to find a way into the final third. Despite Mattia Perin’s fantastic saves, however, Juventus got their second courtesy of Tevez. The Argentine completely embarrassed Vrsaljko, sweeping the ball past the Croatian and calmly sliding it into the back of the net past Perin. http://markting10.nl/ Genoa made two changes at halftime as Gasperini brought on Greek Ioannis Fetfatzidis and Moussa Konate who came on for Alberto Gilardino. Despite the changes, Juventus were still in the ascendancy as Perin was again called into action to make a double save in the 52nd minute. First saving Tevez’s shot and then Llorente’s strike. Juventus looked extremely dangerous yet again. As the hour mark loomed, Genoa finally showed some life; but without Gilardino to hold-up the ball and get on to the end of crosses, Genoa were unable to capitalise on their possession. http://markting10.nl/ The team’s midfield were no match for Juventus as Juraj Kucka and Biondini were unable to retain the ball and complete a defence-splitting pass. With Genoa’s inability to create anything of note, the Bianconeri coolly cruised to a 2-0 victory and looked like, at least in attack, the Juventus of old. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111
