Allegri insists the most important thing was to get three points Max Allegri insists that the most crucial aspect is Juventus securing a victory against Frosinone and earning all three points in their quest to secure a Champions League spot. ............ Acknowledging the significance of the match, Allegri stressed the importance of not losing to Frosinone. Despite a bright start with an early lead, the game proved to be challenging, and the Bianconeri could have settled for a 2-2 draw if Daniele Rugani had not scored the late winner. Allegri is delighted his team won, and after the final whistle, he said: “There are also these moments, we just need to work on it and start doing what we did before. At the moment it’s like this and we will try to reverse the trend, just as today it was important to win and because they are three important points for the Champions League race. And above all we remove ourselves from these four games where we only had two points.” ............

Pundit insists Juventus struggled despite defeating Frosinone Pundit Alessandro Santarelli insists he would have called for Max Allegri’s sacking if Juventus had not beaten Frosinone, emphasising that their performance was subpar. ............ Despite taking the lead, the home side found themselves pegged back, and Frosinone even led the game 2-1 at some point. Santarelli argues that Juve’s overall performance in the fixture falls short of that expected from a team aiming to re-enter the Serie A title race. They eventually scored the winning goal through Daniel Rugani, but that did not satisfy Santarelli, who said: “Despite Rugani’s goal, it was a difficult performance to comment on: in the event of a non-victory I would have asked for the coach’s immediate dismissal. He continues to be seriously worried after this performance which you can’t do against Frosinone at home. “The second half disheartened me, only Vlahovic and Mckennie are saved who are on 8, after all, I don’t save anything. Alcaraz was also good and showed determination, but maybe there’s a reason if someone played in the Championship”. ............

Juventus Player Ratings vs Frosinone: Rugani the Unlikely Hero ............ Juventus (3-5-2) Wojciech Szczesny – 5 The former Arsenal man reacted slowly on the first Frosinone goal, but the power took it past him on the second. Frosinone never gave him the chance to atone afterwards. Federico Gatti – 6.5 The former Frosinone man kept driving forward to support his team’s attacks. Instigated the opening goal and almost scored another himself. Gleison Bremer – 6 The Brazilian seemed impeded by an early booking which forced him to remain on the safe side of the action. A decent outing overall, even if it wasn’t his most convincing. Daniele Rugani – 7 The Italian defender emerged as the unlikely hero with a last-minute winner that even the most prolific of strikers would have been proud of given the acute angle. Perhaps he could have done better on Frosinone’s second goal, but he certainly made amends by claiming the first Juventus winner in several weeks. Andrea Cambiaso – 6 ............ Weston McKennie – 6.5 An action-packed day for the USMNT star who delivered two assists to Vlahovic, but almost gifted the opponents a goal with a careless pass at the back. He rectified his mistake with a suicidal block, but it earned him a shoulder injury. Manuel Locatelli – 5.5 ............ Adrien Rabiot – 5.5 The stand-in Juventus captain sustained a knock in the first half that cut his outing short before he could even produce anything noteworthy. Filip Kostic – 5 ............ Federico Chiesa – 5 The Italian is enduring a torrid run and just doesn’t seem to be capable of pulling off the spectaculars at the moment. Dusan Vlahovic – 8 Kudos to Rugani for scoring the winner, but Vlahovic was easily the Man of the Match. Took his two goals exceptionally well, kept urging his teammates forward, and eventually flicked the header which proved to be the assist for the valuable winner. Substitutes Carlos Alcaraz – 5.5 The young Argentine lacked precision in his shooting and passing but always looked to advance the play. Timothy Weah – 5.5 ............ Kenan Yildiz – 5 A forgettable afternoon for the teenager who replaced Chiesa without providing any upgrade. Samuel Iling-Junior – 6.5 The Englishman turned out to be the winning card for Juventus. Helped the team win a corner kick and his delivery culminated in the last-minute winner. Arkadiusz Milik – N/A Read more -> https://cultofcalcio.com/juventus-player-ratings-vs-frosinone-rugani-the-unlikely-hero/

Injury time Rugani strike ends Juventus winless run Juventus’ much-awaited game against Frosinone started with the Bianconeri taking the lead before some fans were even settled in their seats, as Dusan Vlahovic scored the opener after just three minutes. However, Frosinone was not going to make life easy for the Bianconeri and equalised eleven minutes later, stunning the Allianz Stadium. Frosinone was inspired by that equaliser and scored the next goal to take the lead against a Juve side that lacked confidence. To make matters worse for the Old Lady, Adrien Rabiot pulled up after the goal and had to be replaced by Carlos Alcaraz. The Argentine made an almost instant impact as he was involved in the next goal, with Vlahovic scoring again to pull Juve level at 2-2. ............ Juve kept asking questions, and the Bianconeri finally scored with the last kick of the game, thanks to a poacher’s goal from Daniele Rugani. The Bianconeri have returned to form, thanks to an unlikely hero, and Inter Milan can feel the pressure again.

Penso sia stato Bremer Purtroppo ci facciamo anche male da soli

Rabiot é uscito per una botta. Pare che abbia rimediato una frattura?

Allegri ama rischiare solo al casinó .....

Giocatore adattato = giocatore frustrato.

Allegri boccia Chiesa e tenterá la carta Yildiz.

Peccato che indossi (attualmente) la maglia sbagliata.

Giuntoli moggeggia

Allegri insists his team does not need any changes There have been numerous suggestions that Max Allegri needs to make changes to the Juventus system for the team to regain its form in the coming weeks. The current period represents Juventus’s worst run of form since the beginning of the season, with difficulties in securing victories over the past few weeks. ............ While there are expectations for Allegri to consider adjustments to the playing personnel or formation, the Bianconeri manager insists that his team does not require significant changes. Asked if he will play with four at the back, Allegri said: “No also because we always defend at 4 and we don’t have to change anything.” ............

Juventus vs Frosinone Calcio: Preview and Prediction Juventus will aim to get their Serie A title challenge back on track when they take on Frosinone Calcio on Saturday. Having picked up just two points from their last four Serie A matches, Juventus will welcome minnows Frosinone Calcio to the Allianz Stadium in a bid to get back to winning ways. The visitors are not in great form themselves, having lost three league games on the spin. They are just three points off the drop zone and will be keen to end their poor run as soon as possible. Frosinone have the third-worst goal difference in the league, something that could prove decisive given how close the teams are to each other in the lower half of the table. On paper, Juventus are the clear favourites going into the game. but Frosinone can take heart from the fact that the Bianconeri could only draw against 18th-placed Hellas Verona last weekend. Juventus are nine points off Inter Milan at the top of the summit, having played a game more. Any further slip-ups will more or less end their chances of securing a first Scudetto in four years. Both teams have faced off twice this season, once in the league and one in the Coppa Italia. Juventus won 2-1 in the reverse fixture at the Stadio Benito Stirpe, while also securing a 4-0 win in the Coppa Italia clash in Turin. They will now fancy a third triumph as they aim to get the league campaign back on track. ............ Team News & Tactics Juventus Juventus won a ninth straight Scudetto in 2020 but have since seen Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Napoli finish on top. The title race this season appeared to be between the Bianconeri and Inter Milan, but the former has fallen by the wayside in recent weeks. A poor run of just two points from four games has seen Inter Milan open up a significant chasm at the summit of Serie A. Juventus will need to be near perfect for the remainder of the campaign to be in a position to take advantage of any of the Nerazzurri’s slip-ups. Star centre-back Gleison Bremer will return after a one game suspension, while Danilo is out with an ankle injury. He joins the injured trio of Moise Kean, Mattia Perin, and Mattia De Sciglio, who are all sidelines for the game. Massimiliano Allegri is likely to form up his side in a 3-5-2 formation, with Wojciech Szczesny in goal. He should be protected by the back-three of Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer, and Alex Sandro. Andrea Cambiaso and Filip Kostic should act as the wing-backs providing width on the night. Manuel Locatelli should act as the midfield anchor, with Adrien Rabiot and Weston McKennie making up numbers in the middle of the park. Dusan Vlahovic should start upfront alongside Kenan Yıldız. Federico Chiesa and Arkadiusz Milik should offer options off the bench if needed. Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Sandro; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Yildiz, Vlahovic Frosinone Calcio Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Turati; Zortea, Monterisi, Okoli, Valeri; Mazzitelli, Barrenechea, Brescianini; Soule, Jorge, Harroui Key Stats Frosinone Calcio have never beaten Juventus in the Serie A. Frosinone Calcio have lost all the games played against teams in the Serie A top two that particular matchday. Failure to win on the night will see Juventus go five league games without a win for just the second time in the last 14 years. Since December, Frosinone have conceded 31 goals in Serie A this season, more than nay other side this campaign. Since December, Frosinone have lost nine games in Serie A this season, the joint-most for any side in the Italian top flight. Player to Watch Dusan Vlahovic ............ Vlahovic has eight goals and one assist in his last eight Serie A starts and is a man in form. He scored last time out against Hellas Verona and will be keen to keep that run going. Prediction Juventus 2-0 Frosinone Calcio Juventus and Frosinone are going through a rut and will be keen to return to winning ways. Given the difference in quality between both the teams, Juventus are the heavy favourites for the match-up. Frosinone defeated Napoli earlier this season, showing their ability to pull off a shock. However, Juventus are a far tougher opposition with a point to prove. Read more -> https://thehardtackle.com/round-up/2024/02/24/juventus-vs-frosinone-calcio-preview-and-prediction-2/

Pundit warns Juventus about underestimating Frosinone Juventus is set to face Frosinone in their upcoming Serie A game this weekend, and a cautionary note has been sounded against underestimating their opponents. Having been promoted this season, Frosinone’s primary objective is to secure their place in the Italian top flight for the next season. Juventus currently has some players on loan at Frosinone, with standout performances, particularly from Matias Soule, contributing to a successful season for the club. ............ Pundit Stefano Impallomeni has issued a warning to Juventus, urging them not to underestimate the Frosinone team in the upcoming fixture. He said: “Certainly putting the three strikers on the field is a card that the Juventus coach could compete, but at the same time, he will have to pay attention to the balance. It is absolutely forbidden for Juventus to underestimate Frosinone, a team that often plays well and creates a lot, they can play a great match. A change of formation by Allegri In any case, I expect it, we’ll see what happens on Sunday.” ............ Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/pundit-warns-juventus-about-underestimating-frosinone/

Preview: Juventus vs. Frosinone Juve have picked up just two points from their last four Serie A matches, while the visitors lost a third straight game last week and are leaking goals left, right and centre. Match preview Trying to get back on track after two defeats and a draw, Juventus visited lowly Hellas Verona last weekend, when they had to respond twice after going behind at Stadio Bentegodi. In-form Dusan Vlahovic scored from the spot, before Adrien Rabiot celebrated his 199th game for the club by levelling matters again shortly after the break - but there was to be more frustration for fans of the Bianconeri, who witnessed a disappointing 2-2 draw. Only a subsequent slip-up by AC Milan saw Juve keep their grip on second place, and Inter Milan have moved further clear at the Serie A summit, so an overdue title challenge has slipped a little further from reach. After putting together a series of five straight league wins - in addition to beating Frosinone in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals - Max Allegri's men have since failed to win any of their last four, including defeats to Inter and Udinese. With Napoli and Atalanta BC next up - and a league-and-cup double-header with Lazio soon to follow - Juventus cannot continue in such a vein if they are to salvage something from a previously promising season. Regardless of recent form, they will still expect to prevail in Sunday's lunchtime kickoff, having won their last four league meetings with Frosinone by an aggregate score of 9-1. Not only is their record against Juve particularly bad, but Frosinone have also lost all nine previous games played against teams in Serie A's top two, scoring just once and conceding 25 times in the process. On this occasion, Eusebio Di Francesco's squad - which features several promising players borrowed from bigger clubs, such as Juventus-owned trio Matias Soule, Enzo Barrenechea and Kaio Jorge - will arrive at the Allianz Stadium aiming to end that trend and put a halt to their slide down the standings. ............ Team News While Brazilian defender Bremer returns from a one-match ban, his compatriot Danilo is now out of action for Juventus due to an ankle injury, so either Daniele Rugani or Alex Sandro should feature in the hosts' back three. Moise Kean, Mattia De Sciglio and Mattia Perin are still sidelined - all three may not be back until next month - but Max Allegri can name an otherwise unchanged XI if he so wishes. Partnering either Federico Chiesa or Kenan Yildiz up front, Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic is Serie A's top marksman in 2024 - his seven strikes are already just three fewer than he managed throughout all of 2023. ............ Juventus possible starting lineup: Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Sandro; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Yildiz, Vlahovic Frosinone possible starting lineup: Turati; Zortea, Monterisi, Okoli, Valeri; Mazzitelli, Barrenechea, Brescianini; Soule, Jorge, Harroui ............ We say: Juventus 3-1 Frosinone After an unexpected delay, Max Allegri could finally become the first coach in Serie A history to top 1000 points. Currently on 999, his Juventus side have stumbled in recent weeks, but the off-colour Canarini could prove perfect opponents.

Juventus vs. Frosinone match preview: Time, TV schedule, and how to watch the Serie A Max Allegri’s squad has one last chance to get a win in February. And it just so happens to come against a team that they’ve already beaten twice this season. The good news as Juventus heads into Sunday’s lunchtime kickoff against Juventus B Frosinone is that the slate of fixtures in the month of February will be over in another 90 or so minutes of game time. The bad news is what’s happened over these first three weeks of February. By now, we all know the numbers that have been the end result of this suddenly terrible run of form — winless in four games, two points out of a possible 12 during that span, now nine points behind league leaders Inter Milan and just two points ahead of AC Milan in third place. Juventus’ first game of the month was a Derby d’Italia in which they could have jumped up into first place. But now, all of 20 days later, they head into another meeting with a relegation battler that’s sitting just outside the drop zone with the scope of this season having drastically changed. And unlike last season when they had points snatched away from them by the FIGC, dropping so many points in such a short period of time is their own doing this time around. ............ In three of Juventus’ last four games, the opponents were ones like Juventus will be facing at Allianz Stadium on Sunday afternoon — at or near the bottom of the table and in pretty rough form. In those three games, Juventus did the following: draw against Empoli, loss to Udinese and, most recently, draw against Hellas Verona. On paper, these should have been games in which Juventus won and maybe even with a little bit of breathing room considering what they did against those same types of opponents just one month earlier in January. But nope, that’s not what happened, and a title race became anything but that. ............ And there’s also this simple fact: Sunday’s game against Frosinone will be one of the final matchups against a club that’s in the bottom half of the table. While the first two months of 2024 has been filled with relegation battlers and teams with double-digit table positions, the same can’t be said about Juventus’ schedule in March, April and May. There’s still top four battlers galore, with Milan, Atalanta, Fiorentina, Lazio and Roma still waiting for their second crack at Max Allegri’s squad this season. ............ Frosinone have only continued their struggles since Juve saw them two months ago right before Christmas. Starting with that 2-1 Juve win at the Benito Stripe, Frosinone have lost eight out of 10 games in all competitions, including a 4-0 beatdown from the Bianconeri in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals. They’ve allowed the most goals (18) over the last six games in the league. Over that same span, they’ve been outscored 18-7. ............ TEAM NEWS ............ Allegri said Juve have two main goals for the rest of the season: “Qualification for the Champions League and trying to win the Coppa Italia.” So how do you do that, Max? “We have to stay calm and focused and think about the months ahead,” he said. When it comes to January signee Carlos Alcaraz making his first start in a Juventus shirt, Allegri said “he could play tomorrow although I have not yet decided whether from the start or not.” Allegri said he wants to get back to winning. Same goes for us, Max. JUVENTUS PLAYER TO WATCH Something needs to change. Something, anything. And while Allegri himself said there isn’t going to be any kind of drastic changes when it comes to his lineup, the Italian press is speculating that there could at least be one new name to jump into the fray against Frosinone. So, with that, we say this: Hey, Charly! ............ Alcaraz still has less than 30 minutes to his name in a Juventus jersey. His second appearance saw him play more than a couple of minutes, so that’s a start. It’s still far from what you would call an acceptable amount of time to actually form a first, genuine opinion on what kind of player he is as he settles in at Juventus, but it’s a start. ............ Alcaraz is the unknown. And that is why he’s interesting. He’s young and he’s talented, that is also why he’s interesting. We know what we’re going to get from just about every Juventus player on the roster ... except for Alcaraz simply because his first 25 minutes in bianconero are not nearly enough to actually form an opinion. So if it’s Alcaraz coming into the lineup for somebody like Filip Kostic, which would then have Andrea Cambiaso out on the left and Weston McKennie kicked out onto the right wing, that feels like something that could work. You won’t actually know until you try it out, right? MATCH INFO When: Sunday, Feb. 25, 2024. Where: Allianz Stadium, Turin, Italy. Official kickoff time: 12:30 p.m. in Italy and the Central European time zone, 11:30 a.m. in the United Kingdom, 6:30 a.m. Eastern time, 3:30 a.m. Pacific time. ............

Former Juventus midfielder says it would be a shame if they finish fourth At the beginning of this season, Juventus set a clear target of finishing inside the top four. However, their strong performances throughout the campaign fueled hopes of contending for the league title. While Inter Milan has been the standout team, Juventus had a chance to compete closely. Unfortunately, in the last four games, the Bianconeri have failed to secure a victory, leading to a significant gap between them and Inter, bringing them closer to the fourth spot. ............ Former Juventus player Massimo Mauro expresses his reluctance to believe that Juventus will continue to struggle and finish in fourth position. He said: “The bad thing about Juve is that they had made the fans hope that they could stay alongside Inter for a long time. Instead, they have to watch their backs, because Atalanta has strength and enthusiasm. Allegri has always said they are aiming for fourth place, but at this point finishing fourth would be a shame.” ............
