CHIEVO VERONA 1 - 2 JUVENTUS Cyril Thereau (28') Fabio Quagliarella (47') Alessandro Bernardini (65'-O.G.) September 25, 2013 8:45 PM Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi — Verona Referee:‬ Andrea De Marco Attendance:‬ 11000‎ Initial reaction and random observations Sep 25, 2013 There seems to be a trend growing here. You know, the one where we're facepalming at some point in the first half because Juventus find themselves on the wrong end of a 1-0 scoreline. http://markting10.nl/ People will complain about the offside call that shouldn't have been an offside call and given Chievo a 2-1 lead. That will be the narrative most will go with because it's the easy one to lead with. And while everybody who roots against Juventus will be pointing to that moment and generating their best conspiracy theories as to why the goal wasn't a goal, I wanna put your attention to something else. It will be pretty easy to figure out, you guys. The fact was that Juventus were down 1-0 in the first half again. And the fact was that Juventus came back to win 2-1 — again. If there wasn't a Alessandro Bernardini own goal, it might have been a completely different discussion we're probably going having in the comment section. No "Three points, on to the next one!" or anything like that. There would have been some yelling, more than already is happening. But the fact still remains that Juventus fell behind again and then, no matter what happened with the stupid refereeing decisions occurred during the course of the second half, came back to win a fixture that has been quite a difficult one ever since Antonio Conte took over as manager. Conte knows that, and he knows that not every game is going to be a walk in the park because he's a smart fellow. Or I'll just let Fabio Quagliarella speak for me. He seems like a smart guy. Quagliarella: We can’t keep letting our opposition take the lead, even though up until now we’ve had the character to come back. Bingo. Well said. Random thoughts and observations •Wednesday's game was not Gigi Buffon's finest hour. His botched attempt of a clearance was the reason why Chievo scored their lone goal of the game. And then, to top it off, San Gigi's fumbled save allowed Alberto Paloschi to score but not actually score a second goal for Chievo. He looked like a keeper who had taken a couple months off, not given a simple rest over the weekend. They were both mistakes that should have never happened, especially for a player of Buffon's class. •Paul Pogba was Juventus' best wingback and delivered the best cross of anybody on Wednesday night. •That's not a good thing. Well, for the guys who are the actual wingbacks, that is. •Say what you want about Fabio Quagliarella, but in the past two midweek games, he's saved Juventus' backside. A goal against Copenhagen, another against Chievo. Hey, maybe it's not such a bad thing that Juve kept this guy around this summer and giving him a bit of playing time. Now somebody go find me a video of Claudio Zuliani singing after a Quagliagol. Quagliarella: I needed to shoot three times to score, thankfully it went in. The goal gave us the push to go for the winner. •Personal opinion: Fernando Llorente played a pretty okay game. Chievo defense knocked him around pretty good, which I'm sure will probably be a regular thing amongst Serie A clubs. But he responded to all of the fouls — and the clear fouls that weren't called — well even though there's no more sporting of his no beard anymore. (Not that having a beard has anything to do with his performance...or does it?) He's not there yet. But with every game he plays, the rust continues to go away, the rapport with his teammates continues to grow and the adaption to Serie A continues. •WhoScored says that Giorgio Chiellini was the Man of the Match. What say you? •Speaking of things we get to see on WhoScored, here's what Claudio Marchisio did against Chievo: A game-high six tackles, 82 touches, 94 percent pass accuracy. I missed that guy.

CHIEVO VERONA 1 - 2 JUVENTUS Cyril Thereau (28') Fabio Quagliarella (47') Alessandro Bernardini (65'-O.G.) September 25, 2013 8:45 PM Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi — Verona Referee:‬ Andrea De Marco Attendance:‬ 11000‎ MATCH REPORT Juventus rode their luck in Verona, beating Chievo 2-1 with an own goal after a strike was controversially disallowed. Sep 25, 2013 The Bianconeri rotated the squad again after fighting back to beat Hellas Verona 2-1 on Sunday. Chievo were fresh from defeating Udinese 2-1, their first win of the season, though Dario Dainelli and Perparim Hetemaj were unavailable, but Marcelo Estigarribia faced his old club. http://markting10.nl/ Juve have only ever lost here once, 1-0 in 2009-10, along with seven wins and three draws. It was a slow start in Verona with Paul Pogba having the first real chance on 20 minutes, his header off target from a Federico Peluso cross. Incredibly, Chievo took the lead, as Buffon’s poor clearance fell to Gennaro Sardo and his cross found Cyril Thereau’s volley. Fabio Quagliarella’s effort smacked Claiton in the face and as the move continued Andrea Pirlo’s follow-up was deflected over the bar. Quagliarella stung Cristian Puggioni’s palms from distance and Juve had penalty appeals for an Estigarribia handling offence, as he was scuffling with Pogba at the time. Llorente should’ve equalised before the break, but his header had no power behind it on Mauricio Isla’s cross. Quagliarella found a way through straight after the restart, though he his header was parried from point-blank range, then he hit the post before eventually bundling it over the line. Alberto Paloschi thought he had scored on 49 minutes when taking advantage of another Buffon error, but it was disallowed. The goalkeeper spilled Simone Bentivoglio’s attempt into the path of Paloschi, who tapped in when clearly not in an offside position. It was a bizarre decision that infuriated the home crowd. Puggioni beat away a Giorgio Chiellini screamer, but Chievo shot themselves in the foot when Bernardini dived on to a Pogba cross and accidentally deflected it into his own net. CHIEVO: Puggioni; Sardo, Claiton, Cesar, Drame, Bernardini; Bentivoglio, Rigoni, Estigarribia (Radovanovic 66); Paloschi (Ardemagni 69), Thereau (Pellissier 87) JUVENTUS: Buffon; Barzagli, Ogbonna, Chiellini; Isla (Lichtsteiner 64), Pogba, Pirlo, Marchisio, Peluso; Quagliarella (Tevez 75), Llorente (Vidal 88) Ref: De Marco http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

CHIEVO VERONA 1 - 2 JUVENTUS Cyril Thereau (28') Fabio Quagliarella (47') Alessandro Bernardini (65'-O.G.) September 25, 2013 8:45 PM Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi — Verona Referee:‬ Andrea De Marco Attendance:‬ 11000‎ Bernardini own goal decides Bianconeri triumph Cyril Thereau gave the hosts the lead before a second-half comeback from Fabio Quagliarella and an accidental strike from Alessandro Bernardini. Sep 25, 2013 Juventus came back from a goal behind to beat Chievo 2-1 on Wednesday to retain their unbeaten streak among the big guns at the top of Serie A. http://markting10.nl/ Cyril Thereau put the hosts ahead in the 28th minute before the champions hit back in the second half through Fabio Quagliarella and an Alessandro Bernardini own goal to seal all three points and maintain their unbeaten record this season. Giuseppe Sannino made four changes to the Chievo side that beat Udinese 2-1 at the weekend with Claiton, Simone Bentivoglio, Gennaro Sardo and Thereau all recalled to the starting XI. Juve boss Antonio Conte also made signifcant alterations to his team, with five switches from Sunday's 2-1 win over Chievo’s neighbours Hellas Verona, where they also fought back from a goal down. Gianluigi Buffon and Giorgio Chiellini returned in goal and defence, with Marco Storari, Leonardo Bonucci and Carlos Tevez among those to drop to the bench. After a cagey opening to the game, Juve began to look more threatening with Fernando Llorente, Quagliarella and Paul Pogba all firing over in the space of five minutes. But, despite those chances for the Turin-based outfit, it was the hosts who took the lead just before the half-hour mark. Buffon's poor clearance was brought down by Sardo, and his early pass was swept home first time by Thereau from just inside the area. The visitors responded to falling behind brightly, with Andrea Pirlo's shot from the edge of the box deflected just over the crossbar. Quagliarella then stung the palms of Christian Puggioni, the Chievo goalkeeper beating away an effort from distance in the 38th minute. And Llorente wasted a golden chance to equalise two minutes before the break when Mauricio Isla's shot was deflected into his path, but the Spain international's weak header was easily gathered by Puggioni. A minute after the interval, however, Juve were level thanks to Quagliarella. It was a scrappy equaliser, with the Italy international seeing his initial header saved, before hitting both bar and post with the rebound and finally stabbing the ball in from right on the goalline. Two minutes later, the Sannino side thought they had retaken the lead when Alberto Paloschi converted the follow up after Buffon's fumble, but the referee's assistant had raised his flag, although replays showed Paloschi to be well onside. As the game opened up with the hour mark approaching, Claudio Marchisio and Chiellini were both denied by Puggioni from range, with Llorente sending another weak header straight into the keeper's arms. Juve continued to press though and went ahead in the 65th minute, as Bernardini deflected home Pogba's wicked cross from the right-hand side with Llorente waiting to pounce. The remainder of the game saw no clear-cut chances as Conte's men closed out the match to move up to third in Serie A. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

CHIEVO VERONA 1 - 2 JUVENTUS Cyril Thereau (28') Fabio Quagliarella (47') Alessandro Bernardini (65'-O.G.) September 25, 2013 8:45 PM Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi — Verona Referee:‬ Andrea De Marco Attendance:‬ 11000‎ Own goal leads Bianconeri to comeback victory Sep 25, 2013 Juventus came back from a first half deficit to defeat Chievo by a score of 2-1 on Wednesday night. http://markting10.nl/ Cyril Thereau gave the home side the lead against the run of play before second half goals from Fabio Quagliarella and an own goal from Alessandro Bernardini were enough to secure the three points for the Bianconeri. The first half-chance of the match fell to the visiting side in the 20th minute when Paul Pogba got his head onto a cross but could not send his effort on goal. The home side took the lead against the run of play in the 28th minute when Gianluigi Buffon misplayed a clearance attempt straight to the feet of Gennardo Sardo. The defender picked out Thereau in the box, and the Frenchman smashed home the one timer past Buffon to give the Flying Donkeys the 1-0 lead. The Bianconeri looked to fight back in the 33rd minute when Andrea Pirlo unleashed a shot from outside the box that went just over the bar after deflecting off a Chievo defender. The away side’s best chance of the first half came in the 43rd minute when Mauricio Isla’s cross was deflected onto the head of Fernando Llorente, but the Spaniard failed to get any power behind his effort as it was easily grabbed by Christian Puggioni. The second half started off at a feverish pace as the Bianconeri found their equalizer after just two minutes. Quagliarella was miraculously denied by Puggioni from close range on two occasions, but the Juve striker bundled home his third effort to level the score at 1-1. Controversy erupted only minutes later as the home side looked to have taken the lead after Buffon spilled a Simone Bentivoglio shot that was tapped in by Alberto Paloschi. However the Flying Donkeys striker was incorrectly called offside as replays showed he was well onside when the shot was taken. Claudio Marchisio, who was starting his first match since returning from injury, came close to giving the away side the lead in the 56th minute but Puggioni did well to send his effort out for a corner. The Bianconeri’s pressure paid off in the 65th minute when Pogba sent in a searching cross from the left for Llorente. However the ball didn’t arrive to the Spaniard as an outstretched Bernardini bundled the cross into his own net to give the away side the 2-1 lead. The Flying Donkeys seemed to tire at that point and failed to mount any sort of sustained pressure against the away side as Juventus retained pressure in hopes of running out the clock. The full time whistle came with little fanfare with the Bianconeri securing a precious three points. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Arturo Vidal also steps aside as Conte decides to rest players for his side's third game in eight days, with Marchisio making a welcome return for the Bianconeri. Chievo are without Dario Dainelli and Perparim Hetemaj tonight as they go in search of back-to-back victories, but Cyril Thearau is passed fit and returns in attack.

Llorente scored his debut Serie A goal on Sunday in a 2-1 win over Hellas and hopes he can do the double over clubs from Verona. Gigi Buffon returns between the sticks after he was rested at the weekend and Claudio Marchisio has his first start of the Serie A season. Chievo celebrated their first victory of the campaign on Sunday, beating Udinese 2-1 despite conceding after just 50 seconds. Dario Dainelli and Perparim Hetemaj are unavailable, but Giuseppe Sannino could change his system to 5-3-2 in order to counter Juve’s tactics. Juventus have only ever lost here once, 1-0 in 2009-10, along with seven wins and three draws.

CHIEVO VERONA - JUVENTUS September 25, 2013 8:45 PM Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi — Verona Referee:‬ Andrea De Marco MATCH PREVIEW Sep 25, 2013 Fresh from comeback weekend victories, both Chievo and Juventus are gunning for two in a row in their midweek clash. http://markting10.nl/ Chievo registered their first win of the new term against Udinese, but had to recover from Maicosuel’s second minute goal. Sergio Pellissier opened his season account, while Luca Rigoni made it 2-1 before the break. Coach Giuseppe Sannino urged the Flying Donkeys to remain grounded following their breakthrough triumph. He stressed they must continue working hard in order to gain positive results. Dario Dainelli, Perparim Hetemaj and Tomaz Kupisz are set to miss the clash through injury. Juventus recovered from successive draws to defeat Verona. They too were forced to overturn a deficit thanks to Fabrizio Cacciatore’s opener. Quick-fire responses from Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente established the lead. Antonio Conte was pleased the team were able to break down Verona’s bolted defence. He was also happy for Llorente, noting the debut goal boosted his confidence following endless chatter surrounding his position within the team. Given their heavy schedule, Conte says rotation is inevitable. Simone Pepe, Martin Caceres and Rubinho are hampered by injury and sidelined for the match. Chievo have earned maximum points just once in the fixture’s past. On the other hand, the Bianconeri have dominated with six wins under their belts, in addition to a trio of stalemates. Keep an eye on: Alberto Paloschi (Chievo) – Now established as a regular starter for the Gialloblu, Paloschi will aim to add to his pair of goals this term. They both arrived against Napoli, and the former Milan striker will be aiming to net against another Scudetto contender. Form guide: Chievo ( -D L L W) Juventus ( -W W D W) Last season: Chievo 1-2 Juventus Stat fact: Just one of Juve’s six Verona wins have come by a margin of more than two goals, a 4-1 success in 2002-03. Chievo (probable): Puggioni; Sardo, Papp, Cesar, Drame; Estigarribia, Rigoni, Radovanovic, Improta; Thereau, Paloschi Juventus (probable): Buffon; Bonucci, Ogbonna, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Pogba, Pirlo, Marchisio, Peluso; Quagliarella, Llorente http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111
