Serie A Week 37 - 11-5-12 (6:00 p.m.) 1 - 1 Víctor Ibarbo (13′) Mirko Vučinić (61′) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Giampaolo Calvarese Attendance:‬ 38933‎ Ibarbo ruins Juve record A sensational Victor Ibarbo run from his own half earned a 1-1 draw for Cagliari and ends Juventus hopes of setting a new points record. May 11, 2013 The Bianconeri had already secured the Scudetto last week, but were now hoping to target Fabio Capello’s 2005-06 record of 91 points, even though that title was revoked in the Calciopoli trial. Andrea Pirlo and Paul Pogba were suspended with Gigi Buffon among those rested, so Luca Marrone got a rare opportunity to start in his favoured midfield role. Cagliari were safe mid-table and had Mauricio Pinilla back after his three-match ban was reduced to two on appeal. The Juve players all walked out of the tunnel holding their children, all wearing miniature Bianconeri kits, as flags waved in a fantastic party atmosphere. Michael Agazzi had to beat away a fierce Arturo Vidal snapshot from distance, but Cagliari started aggressively and broke the deadlock in Turin. Victor Ibarbo gathered in his own half, then turned on the turbo to burst between two defenders and used great strength to hold off Claudio Marchisio, then fired the shot so it squirmed underneath Marco Storari. It was a sensational solo effort, as Ibarbo slowed down and then suddenly cut inside to whizz past his opponents. Andrea Barzagli went off moments later with a muscular injury to make way for Martin Caceres. Radja Nainggolan’s angled drive flashed across the face of goal and Sebastian Giovinco went down on the very edge of the box with Davide Astori, but the referee awarded a corner. Alessandro Matri’s scuffed shot was deflected and Agazzi smothered a Marchisio daisy-cutter. Giovinco was very unlucky on 33 minutes, as he curled a free kick over the wall and it thumped the underside of the crossbar, bouncing back off the ground and out with Agazzi stranded. Nicola Murru got a crucial block to stop Matri turning in a Giovinco pull-back from 10 yards. Cagliari thought they were going to score another in stoppages when Pinilla fired straight at Storari from point-blank range, but the offside flag had already been raised. After the restart Agazzi needed his wits about him to get down and palm Emanuele Giaccherini’s low drive round the base of the near post. Juve were far more attacking in this half and equalised when Marchisio chipped up a cross from the by-line for Arturo Vidal to nod back into the six-yard box where Mirko Vucinic tapped in. Agazzi only flapped at Vidal’s headed assist. Vidal flung himself at a Giaccherini cross moments later, but couldn’t quite get on the end of it, while Radja Nainggolan drilled wide from distance. Marchisio almost scored a strange goal with his chest, deflecting a Mauricio Isla cross just past the upright. Vucinic also sprung the offside trap and fired straight at Agazzi, then Isla’s screamer flashed inches over the bar. Vucinic fired off target with Agazzi rooted to the spot in stoppages after Giorgio Chiellini’s acrobatic intervention prevented Pinilla going clear on goal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JUVENTUS: Storari; Barzagli (Caceres 14), Bonucci, Chiellini; Isla, Vidal, Marrone, Marchisio, Giaccherini; Giovinco (Vucinic 51), Matri (Quagliarella 71) CAGLIARI: Agazzi; Perico (Cossu 54), Rossettini, Astori (Eriksson 65); Murru (Del Fabro 53), Dessena, Conti, Ekdal, Nainggolan; Pinilla, Ibarbo Ref: Calvarese http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 37 - 11-5-12 (6:00 p.m.) 1 - 1 Víctor Ibarbo (13′) Mirko Vučinić (61′) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Giampaolo Calvarese Attendance:‬ 38933‎ Bianconeri fall short in bid for record points haul Antonio Conte's men had been hoping to make club history by winning their final two games but they needed a Mirko Vucinic header to salvage a point against the visitors. May 11, 2013 Juventus' hopes of breaking their points record for a single Serie A season were dashed by a 1-1 draw at home to Cagliari on Saturday evening. In truth, the Bianconeri were somewhat fortunate to have escaped with a draw, having fallen behind to a stunning solo strike from Victor Ibarbo. However, Mirko Vucinic came off the bench to earn the hosts a draw with a simple header from a terrific knock-down from man of the match Arturo Vidal. With the title having been sealed against Palermo last weekend, the Bianconeri had little to play for - and it showed for long stretches. However, coach Antonio Conte had spoken beforehand of his desire to see his side win their two remaining fixtures and thus break the club's previous points record of 91. Consequently, it was no surprise to see the home side begin in a lively fashion, with Vidal particularly prominent early on, putting Sebastian Giovinco in on goal only to see his team-mate take too long to get a shot away, before then drawing a spectacular save from Michael Agazzi with a fine strike from distance. However, Ibarbo had also started in stirring fashion and it was he who opened the scoring. The Colombian had already frightened the life out of Andrea Barzagli with one drive from deep when he took on the classy centre-back again 13 minutes in. Barzagli had Claudio Marchisio for support but Ibarbo, who had picked up possession inside his own half, simply stormed past the pair of them before coolly slotting the ball underneath Marco Storari to end Juve's five-game run without conceding. The ease with which the Colombian had cut inside Barzagli had been staggering but it was somewhat explained by the Italy international's injury-enforced withdrawal just moments later. In truth, Cagliari looked the better side after Ibarbo's strike but Juve were desperately unfortunate not to have drawn level just after the half-hour mark when Giovinco's measured free kick struck the crossbar and bounced down on the wrong side of the goalline from the home side's perspective. Vidal continued to drive Juve forward but, as it was, the champions went in a goal down at the break, so it was hardly surprising that Conte decided to introduce Vucinic early in the second half. The Montenegrin took a while to get into the game but Emanuele Giaccherini was causing all sorts of problems down the left-hand side and the Bianconeri's utility man went close to drawing his side level after cutting into the area only to see Agazzi get down well to keep out the wing-back's low strike. Vucinic made his mark just moments later, though, nodding home from close range after Vidal had busted a gut to get on the end of Marchisio's cross to the back post and head the ball back across the goal. Juve poured forward in search of a winner, with Marchisio going close late on, but there was to be no denying the Rossoblu, who, in fairness, were good value for their point. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

A proposito, nessuna traccia di Mamozio?

Quante botte ha preso Matri.

Dat is een moslim, hoor.

L'ho pensato io per un attimo.

É la bandiera del Montenegro quella che ha Vucinic sulle spalle, non della Roma.

Abete accolto come merita.

Serie A Week 37 - 11-5-12 (6:00 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Giampaolo Calvarese Marotta 'talked Juve signings' May 11, 2013 Juventus are awarded the Scudetto trophy today and Beppe Marotta confirms he has now “talked with Antonio Conte about the new signings.” The Bianconeri transfer guru always said he would keep discussions over strategy until the end of the season, but the club has now achieved its objective by mathematically securing the title. “Today we are witnessing the apotheosis of a wonderful campaign,” said Marotta before the game with Cagliari. “We have talked with Conte over what will be the new signings. Our objective is to improve, as we want to be protagonists in Europe too.” Among the names circulated in the media today are Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Gonzalo Higuain and Stevan Jovetic. “It is just fantasy football. I want to compliment the players in our squad now, as they have achieved great things.” http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/
