Outstanding Szczesny’s performance not enough as Juventus lose Inter Milan secured a 1-0 victory against Juventus in the Derby d’Italia this evening, demonstrating that sometimes, a single goal is sufficient to clinch a game. The encounter between the Nerazzurri and the Bianconeri was widely regarded as a pivotal match determining the Serie A title. Juventus, having dropped points in their previous game against Empoli, entered the match with the imperative to secure a win at Inter. However, the Nerazzurri proved formidable, and it was the exceptional efforts of Wojciech Szczesny that kept the scoreline at 1-0. ............ For many Bianconeri supporters, this defeat signals the potential end of their team’s title race. However, with several games remaining, Inter will face tough opponents in the weeks leading up to the season’s conclusion. The pertinent question now emerges: Can Juventus rebound from this defeat and secure victories in their upcoming matches? The answer will unfold in the remaining fixtures of the season.

Ma non é solo Vlahovic. É un campionato di nevrotici e di attori della commedia dell'arte. Proteste continue. Hanno rotto. Seguire la serie A non é consigliabile a chi non ama le polemiche come me.

Inter piú forte

Inzaghi é nevrotico

Spero in una partita senza aiutini

Preview: Inter vs Juventus – Team News, Lineups & Prediction Serie A fans await Sunday with bated breath as Giuseppe Meazza sets the stage for the 251st official Derby d’Italia between eternal rivals Inter and Juventus. More than just bragging rights is at stake, with only a point separating the two most successful Serie A clubs ahead of the kick-off. ............ Match Preview ............ Juventus Regardless of which side of the spectrum of liking Allegri you stand, the man is a mind-game expert. He seized the opportunity of Juventus’ slip-up against Empoli to name Inter ‘absolute’ favorites to dethrone out-of-sorts holders Napoli in the build-up to this contest. In reality, he must be believing in his side’s Scudetto prospects after overseeing a jaw-dropping 19-game unbeaten run in competitive action (W15, D4). On top of their sensational spell of form, the visitors can find more inspiration in their sublime away record against Serie A top-six sides this season. They’ve not only avoided defeat in all three such fixtures (W2, D1) but have yet to concede a goal, suggesting one strike could be sufficient to win the derby. However, a more prolific performance could be on the cards. Before Empoli took advantage of their numerical superiority, Juventus had notched up 18 goals in their opening five competitive matches at the start of 2024. Team News Except for long-term absentee Juan Cuadrado, Inter boss Inzaghi can call upon the rest of his squad for this contest. He must be thrilled to welcome Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolo Barella back from suspension, as he needs all hands on deck to take an all-important three points. On the other hand, Nicolo Fagioli and Paul Pogba are still on the sidelines due to suspensions, with Milik joining them after picking up a red card against Empoli. Moise Kean and Mattia De Sciglio are still in the treatment room, as is winter addition Tiago Djalo. But there’s a chance for Federico Chiesa to partner Vlahovic up top. Inter vs Juventus Potential Lineups Inter (3-5-2): Yann Sommer; Benjamin Pavard, Francesco Acerbi, Alessnadro Bastoni; Matteo Darmian, Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federico Dimarco; Marcus Thuram, Lautaro Martinez. Juventus (3-5-2): Wojciech Szczesny; Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer, Danilo; Andrea Cambiaso, Weston McKennie, Manuel Locatelli, Adrien Rabiot, Filip Kostic; Kenan Yildiz, Dusan Vlahovic. Inter vs Juventus Prediction Connoisseurs of attractive, action-packed football will unlikely enjoy this fixture. Many recent meetings between Inter and Juventus have resembled a chess game. Given the stakes, another similar approach seems inevitable, as we expect a share of the spoils.

Preview: Inter Milan vs. Juventus - prediction, team news, lineups Italy's top two go toe to toe in Serie A's Saturday night showdown, as Inter Milan meet Juventus in an eagerly-awaited Derby d'Italia. The Calcio giants convene at San Siro, with Inter leading Juve by a point in the standings - and the Nerazzurri also have one game in hand. Match preview ............ A 1-1 draw in November's reverse fixture, when goals from Dusan Vlahovic and Lautaro Martinez saw the spoils shared in Turin, left Juventus with a tally of seven points from a possible nine in their three most recent league meetings with Inter. Victory in Milan would now take them above their old foes and back to the Serie A summit, after suffering a prolonged spell in the Nerazzurri's shadow. Max Allegri's men will surely arrive at San Siro confident of pulling off another positive result, having posted 53 points so far: on all 10 previous occasions in which Juve have picked up as many at this stage of the season, they have always gone on to finish first. Seven wins in eight games across all competitions have helped the Bianconeri narrow the gap to Inter and secure a place in the Coppa Italia semi-finals, though they dropped points for the first time this year in last week's 1-1 home draw with Empoli. Arkadiusz Milik's early red card left Juve in a tight spot at the Allianz Stadium, but red-hot Vlahovic - reborn in 2024 - scored after the interval, before Tommaso Baldanzi pulled the visitors level later on. That left Allegri waiting to become the first coach to reach the milestone of 1000 points in Serie A, but a win on Sunday would take him over the line; lifting Juventus to the pinnacle in the process. Team News ............ Juve's main marksman, Dusan Vlahovic, has failed to score in seven previous games against both Milan clubs at San Siro, but the Serbian striker has rattled home five in his last three outings and is certain to start, with Arkadiusz Milik suspended. Amid a quiet winter window at the sharp end of Serie A, Juventus signed Carlos Alcaraz on loan from Southampton, but the Argentinian midfielder should start on the bench, as Adrien Rabiot has recovered from a calf problem in time to play. Federico Chiesa is still troubled by a muscular issue but could feature as a substitute, while fellow forward Moise Kean will not be involved after a switch to Atletico Madrid unravelled when he failed a medical. Inter Milan possible starting lineup: Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez Juventus possible starting lineup: Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Yildiz, Vlahovic We say: Inter Milan 0-0 Juventus Inter (13) and Juventus (12) have collected the most clean sheets in Serie A this season, conceded the fewest shots on target, and shipped the fewest goals. Following a tense stalemate in November's reverse match, the pair could now draw both league fixtures for the first time since 2002: caution will come first at San Siro.

Szczesny rejects renewal offer, Juventus reignite interest in two possible alternatives Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has reportedly rejected a contract extension offer, prompting the club to consider alternatives. The Pole triggered an automatic renewal clause last season, pushing back the deadline to 2025. However, the Bianconeri are looking to tie down their reliable Number One with a longer deal while decreasing his salary. The 33-year-old is one of the club’s highest earners, collecting around 6 million euros as net wages per year. But the custodian has rejected the club’s proposal. The source claims that Szczesny has told Juventus that he doesn’t intend to renew his contract beyond 2025. Therefore, the Bianconeri are now searching for a replacement, someone who would either join the club this summer or in 2025. ...............

Former Juventus and Inter star previews the Derby d’Italia Former Juventus and Inter Milan star Gigi De Agostini has analysed the upcoming clash between the two Serie A giants this weekend, shedding light on the nuances that differentiate the two clubs. Despite Juventus possessing formidable resources, they have proven to be a significant obstacle for Inter in their pursuit of the Serie A title. The Bianconeri’s well-equipped squad has been a formidable contender, making it challenging for Inter to establish a clear lead. However, De Agostini suggests that an Inter victory in the upcoming fixture could be a pivotal moment in the title race, potentially instilling a sense of invincibility in the Nerazzurri moving forward. ............ “In these races, anything can happen. Juve must possibly win, but certainly avoid losing. I’m sure of a great performance from the Bianconeri. If I had to do an analysis of the two teams, I would say that in defence and attack, they are equal, Inter is stronger in midfield. “However, when these types of games are played, any technical discussion is cancelled. It can be defined as a championship match. The Nerazzurri team is more complete, it would be enough to see the spare parts available to its coach, so it is the favourite to win the title. However, the Bianconeri are having a good championship and also have fewer games to play than their rivals.” ............

Journalist insists Juventus needs Rabiot and Chiesa for Inter match Juventus is confronted with the possibility of entering the upcoming fixture against Inter Milan without the services of key players Federico Chiesa and Adrien Rabiot. Both players have been sidelined due to injuries, resulting in their absence from the Bianconeri’s recent matches. Despite speculations that Chiesa and Rabiot might have been available for the last game against Empoli, Juventus opted not to risk their participation, prioritising their recovery for the critical encounter against Inter Milan. ............ Journalist Stefano De Grandis agrees to this and says: “To keep up with this Inter, Juventus will need to be at their maximum potential and in this sense, the recoveries of Chiesa and Rabiot will be fundamental. The backbone of Juventus, with Danilo, spared against Empoli to avoid the risk of disqualification, as the defensive leader, Rabiot as the midfielder and Chiesa up front, with the possibility of splitting the match with the entry of Yildiz.” ............

Bremer insists he made the right choice to pick Juventus over Inter Milan Gleison Bremer found himself at the centre of a transfer tug-of-war between Juventus and Inter Milan during his tenure at Torino. Reports indicated that Inter had ostensibly secured an agreement to acquire him from Il Toro before Juventus intervened, orchestrating a last-minute hijack of the transfer. ............ When questioned about his decision to choose Juventus over Inter, Bremer affirmed that he believes he made the right choice. “Do I ever think that I could have played at Inter? No, I’m on the right side. I chose by talking to Juventus, with my agent, with Danilo and Alex Sandro in the national team. With Inter it will be a duel until the end. Getting a result in Milan is never easy. In my opinion, whoever wins doesn’t win the championship – there are still many games – but it’s an important step.” ............

Pundit compares Giuntoli to Moggi over his purchase of Alcaraz Juventus has completed the signing of Carlos Alcaraz, a move that took most fans by surprise. ............ Pundit Roberto Savino is impressed with how Juve made the surprise move and compared the operation by Cristiano Giuntoli to Luciano Moggi. He said: “The way in which Alcaraz was hired reminds me of Moggi. It is right to act in this way, to deflect rumours without flaunting the objectives. I imagine Juve believes in this boy, considering that for the loan until June he will pay around four million euros. In any case, the right to buy gives the possibility to evaluate in June whether to buy him permanently or send him back to Southampton.” ............

Allegri will sacrifice some of his salary to sign a new Juventus contract One of the pivotal questions raised by certain Juventus fans pertains to the future of Max Allegri. The coach could have conceivably faced dismissal given that his second tenure at Juve has not yielded the same level of success as his initial stint. Since his return in 2021, the club has not secured any trophies, intensifying the scrutiny on his continued presence on the managerial bench. ............ Allegri’s existing contract concludes in 2025, leaving a year remaining at the conclusion of the current campaign. The Bianconeri are actively considering extending his contract, with reports indicating that Allegri is inclined to accept a reduction in his annual salary from 7 million euros to facilitate the extension. Should an agreement be reached, Allegri could potentially sign an extension that extends his tenure until 2027 at the Allianz Stadium. ............

Bremer reveals how close he is to Virgil van Dijk’s standard Juventus defender Gleison Bremer has candidly acknowledged the considerable gap he perceives between his own standard of play and that of Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk. Van Dijk, widely regarded as the premier centre-back globally, has delivered stellar performances since joining Liverpool. ............ Conversely, while Bremer was recognised as the best defender in Serie A upon his move to Juventus and continues to be among the elite players in their squad, he acknowledges the distinction between his own abilities and the exceptional standard set by Virgil van Dijk. The Brazilian defender is at a bigger club, and is aiming for the top. He knows what separates him from VVD and said: “There are many defenders strong players around, like Van Dijk. He is two steps above me because he won the Champions League and plays in a tough league like the Premier League. In the end, when a player retires, only the trophies won count, if you haven’t won nothing you can’t say you were the best.” ............

Juventus FC’s Latest Signing Has The Lionel Messi Seal Of Approval Juventus has completed the signing of Argentinian midfielder Carlos Alcaraz on loan from Southampton with an option to make the move permanent for $51M. It’s the kind of news that Juve fans wanted to hear about before the Derby d’Italia showdown with Inter Milan this weekend, and according to former Nerazzurri winger Ezequiel Schelotto, the new Claudio Marchisio has arrived. “He can play as a Mezzala on the right,” Schelotto told. “Juventus truly made a great signing.” ............ The 21-year-old Alcaraz, who played alongside Schelotto at Racing Club, could slot into the right side of the Bianconeri’s five-man midfield alongside Manuel Locatelli and Adrien Rabiot - a bold configuration aimed at nullifying Inter’s dynamic trio of Hakan Calhanoglu, Nicolò Barella and Henrik Mkhitaryan. ............ “To me, this is his ideal role, Schelotto continued. “Alcaraz’s late runs are dangerous and he has an excellent shot from distance. He is strong with both feet, he has great quality, but he also helps defensively.” ............

Juventus believes they have a replacement for Alex Sandro in their squad Alex Sandro finds himself in the final five months of his contract with Juventus, and the club is seemingly convinced that they have identified a suitable replacement for him. Having triggered a contract extension last summer, Sandro has been hampered by injuries for a substantial part of the ongoing season. Although Juventus continues to deploy him in a back-three formation when available, his performance levels have witnessed a decline. ............. This apparent reluctance to extend Sandro’s contract serves as a strong indication that Juventus is prepared to allow him to depart. The Bianconeri view Djalo as a capable successor. Juventus holds the belief that Djalo, upon achieving full fitness, possesses the requisite qualities to seamlessly integrate into their defensive setup, thus potentially filling the void left by Sandro. .............

"Thanks for the trust" - Carlos Alcaraz jokes about playing for Juventus after Italian club signs player with same name Carlos Alcaraz recently joked about potentially joining Serie A giants Juventus. This playful banter arose when the Italian club signed a player who shares the same name as the Spaniard. Juventus recently secured a six-month loan deal for Southampton midfielder Carlos Alcaraz Duran. The Argentine will be joining the Italian giants until the end of the season with an option to make the deal permanent for around $51 million, as per the Athletic. ............ Following the announcement of Carlos Alcaraz Duran's signing, fans took it upon themselves to jokingly tag tennis player Carlos Alcaraz as if the Spaniard had joined Juventus F.C. ............

Simone Inzaghi fears two Juventus players more than others Juventus is gearing up for a challenging Serie A clash against Inter Milan this weekend, and it’s anticipated to be one of the toughest matches of the year for both title contenders. ............ Simone Inzaghi, the Inter Milan manager, holds a significant amount of respect for Juventus as an opponent. The report reveals that Inzaghi is particularly concerned about two players in the Juventus squad. Firstly, Inzaghi is worried about Dusan Vlahovic, who has returned to form at a crucial time, making him a formidable threat in this important game. Additionally, Inzaghi fears Adrien Rabiot for his prowess in the tactical aspects of the game. Both Vlahovic and Rabiot are expected to be crucial assets for Max Allegri in the upcoming match. ............

OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Juventus sign Carlos Alcaraz on loan with option to buy The big surprise of January is officially here. For Juventus sporting chief Cristiano Giuntoli, trying to sign Argentine midfielder Carlos Alcaraz is not a new thing. During Giuntoli’s time at Napoli, Alcaraz was very much a target of the man who constructed last season’s Scudetto-winning side, only for Southampton — who were still in the Premier League at the time — to swoop in and offer more money. ............ Juventus announced Wednesday, the final day of the January transfer window, that they have signed the 21-year-old Alcaraz on loan with an option to buy from Southampton. In a deal that has a lot of numbers attached to it, Juve will pay an initial €3.7 million loan fee with another €1.9 million add-ons attached to it for the rest of the season. The big thing is the option to buy price, which is set at a whopping €49.5 million — which is much more than the €35-€40 million range that we had heard over the last day since the news first broke of Juventus being close to finalizing the deal. Alcaraz, who had signed a brand new five-year deal with Southampton in early October, will wear the No. 26 shirt at Juventus, the first player to (officially) wear that number since Stephan Lichtsteiner’s seven-year run of Swiss awesomeness in Turin. According to reports, Alcaraz will officially land in Italy on Thursday after working out final visa issues that allowed him to travel from England to Turin. ............

Former Juventus man explains why Vlahovic is better than Lautaro Martinez Ahead of the Derby d’Italia this weekend, one intriguing on-field battle is between Dusan Vlahovic and Lautaro Martinez. ............ Former Juventus man Stefano Tacconi is impressed with both stars, but he is convinced that Vlahovic has an edge over Martinez and reveals this: “In my opinion, Vlahovic is stronger with his head, left foot and right foot, while Lautaro is certainly a goalscorer who steals and also scores heavy goals. Vlahovic is stronger at manoeuvring in the area, while Lautaro is more fearsome from outside the area. shots are truly deadly. Since the match is being played at San Siro, I think Lautaro is the one who can suffer the most pressure while Vlahovic has learned to manage the frenzy if he doesn’t score straight away.” ............
