Serie A Week 32 - 15-4-12 (8:45 p.m.) 0 - 2 Arturo Vidal (8′-PG) Arturo Vidal (28') Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Antonio Giannoccaro Attendance: 31000 Petkovic admits Juventus deserved win Lazio coach says the Bianconeri were good value for their victory at the Stadio Olimpico. Apr 15, 2013 Vladimir Petkovic says Juventus deserved their 2-0 victory over his Lazio side on Monday night but felt both goals were avoidable. The Bianconeri edged closer to retaining their Serie A crown, with Arturo Vidal's double enough to secure all three points. Petkovic, who went into the game boasting the superior head-to-head record against counterpart Antonio Conte this season, cited exhaustion as a possible reason for the defeat, but did not detract from the performance of the champions-elect. "We dominated them in the first few minutes. After this, we gave Juventus opportunities and they were clinical with the two chances we gave them. I think the two goals were avoidable," he told Sky Sport Italia. "In the end, kudos to Juventus because they deserved the victory. Surely we have seen the team are a little tired having played five times in a few weeks. "Today we were without seven players. I hope they can recover as soon as possible for all of them to be available to finish the season strong." http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 32 - 15-4-12 (8:45 p.m.) 0 - 2 Arturo Vidal (8′-PG) Arturo Vidal (28') Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Antonio Giannoccaro Attendance: 31000 Player Ratings Goal.com takes a closer look at the men on show at Stadio Olimpico, where the Old Lady continued their march towards the Scudetto with a commanding victory. Apr 15, 2013 LAZIO Federico Marchetti - Will have good reason to be livid with his defence after the failings of those at the back left him exposed for both strikes. Alvaro Gonzalez - Held up well against the pace and power of Asamoah, keeping the winger more or less quiet out on the right-hand side. Michael Ciani - Came to his side's rescue twice in the first half with two great blocks, but failed to react to the second goal. A terrific header went close to beating Buffon. Marius Stankevicius - Was lucky to see Ciani save the day after a dreadful pass threatened to let in Vidal during the first half. Looked insecure and fragile at the back. Lorik Cana - Caught out badly early on by Vucinic, and the ridiculous tackle that followed earned the Albanian a yellow card and put his side a goal down from the spot. Stefano Mauri - Worked hard to break down a strong Juve backline, but mostly without luck. Was sacrificed in the second half for Ederson. Hernanes - A really disappointing display from the Brazilian, who was overwhelmed by Juve's centre-midfield trio and failed to make any impact. Taken off at the break. Cristian Ledesma - Chased constantly and tried to nullify Vidal and Co. in the middle, but his unfortunate deflection sent the Chilean on the way for the second goal. Ogenyi Onazi - Was given a tough job keeping tabs on the dynamic Pogba, and his marking was less than impeccable at times. Failed to get his side moving forward when chasing the draw. Antonio Candreva - Came alive in the second half, drifting out wide and looking to exploit the gaps in the Juve half. A well-timed cross should have set up a goal for Klose. Miroslav Klose - Lazio constantly sought the veteran Germany international, but too often he was nullified by the backline and ineffective. Missed a glorious headed chance to put his side back in the game. A second miss capped a disastrous showing. Substitutions Ederson - Came on for the disappointing Mauri at half-time, and his entrance lifted a listless Lazio team. Luca Crecco - The teenager made a brief appearance at the end for Ledesma. Libor Kozák - Another half-time change, made Lazio more competitive but could not alter the game's fate. JUVENTUS Gianluigi Buffon - Had little to do during a one-sided first half, but saved his side with a brilliant stop from Ciani's header. Andrea Barzagli - Took his eye off Klose at the far post and almost paid dearly as the German missed with the goal at his mercy. Otherwise, rarely troubled. Leonardo Bonucci - Always on hand to clear up at the back when put under Lazio pressure, and his distribution from deep meant the Romans had to be wary of the counter throughout. Federico Peluso - Occasionally given grief by Candreva out on the flank, losing the forward in a move that almost led to a goal. A rare blip in an otherwise solid show. Stephan Lichtsteiner - A constant threat down the right-hand side as he stretched Lazio's defence from start to finish, putting in cross after cross to keep the pressure up. Paul Pogba - Always busy and excitable in the middle of the pitch, harried well throughout the 90 minutes and formed an efficient partnership with Pirlo. Andrea Pirlo - As always, impressed with an outstanding range of passing, the highlights including a delicious cross-field ball for Asamoah that was wasted by the winger. Arturo Vidal - Aggressive, attack-minded and uncompromising; an excellent showing from the Chilean. Took his penalty with authority, and was attentive enough to pick up a deflection and steer in the second. Kwadwo Asamoah - Stretched Gonzalez on multiple occasions out wide, but too often did not use the final ball well. His decision to cross in the box wasted an excellent chance following Pirlo's delightful assist. Claudio Marchisio - Played further up the field as a second striker and will be happy with a busy display. Always made himself available for the likes of Lichtsteiner with his late bursts. Mirko Vučinić - The striker's distribution and movement around the penalty area more than made up for his goalless performance. Was fouled for the penalty and a neat flick set up the second goal. Substitutions Simone Padoin - Entered for Lichtsteiner and helped keep things tight in the middle. Emanuele Giaccherini - Came on in the dying minutes for Marchisio. Fabio Quagliarella - A short cameo for the striker as he replaced Vucinic up front. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 32 - 15-4-12 (8:45 p.m.) 0 - 2 Arturo Vidal (8′-PG) Arturo Vidal (28') Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Antonio Giannoccaro Attendance: 31000 Vidal vanquishes Lazio Apr 15, 2013 Juventus moved a step closer to a successful defence of their Serie A title with a win at Lazio which opens up an 11-point lead at the top of Serie A with six games left. Two goals from Arturo Vidal inside the first half an hour ended Lazio's hopes of moving into contention for a place in the Champions League next season in the battle of the two last Italian survivors in Europe, up until last week. Juve bounced back in style from their Champions League elimination to Bayern Munich while Lazio failed to do likewise after going out of the Europa League at the hands of Fenerbahce on Thursday. Lazio, lacking the suspended Giuseppe Biava and Stefano Radu, had to improvise in defence, which is hardly an ideal situation when faced with the league leaders. A foul by the inexperienced Cana on Mirko Vucinic inside the penalty area was punished in the eighth minute, and Vidal beat Federico Marchetti from the spot to put the Bianconeri ahead. Vucinic was denied by a good diving save from Marchetti in the 20th minute before Vidal made it two. Vucinic's cross was diverted kindly for Vidal by the luckless Cana, and the former Bayer Leverkusen midfielder accepted the invitation to score from close range. Lazio's heads dropped and Paul Pogba missed two chances to increase Juve's lead before the interval. The home team's coach Vladimir Petkovic appeared to have found the right words during the break as Miroslav Klose and Ederson both went close with two early chances in the second half. But they were always open to attacks and Claudio Marchisio should have increased Juve's lead when he lifted his shot over in the 56th minute. Libor Kozak came on, but the man who was so prolific as the Europa League's top goalscorer could not recreate that threat in a Serie A game, wasting several chances to reopen the game. And Klose summed up his side's luck, or lack thereof, when he shot wide in stoppage time. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 32 - 15-4-12 (8:45 p.m.) 0 - 2 Arturo Vidal (8′-PG) Arturo Vidal (28') Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Antonio Giannoccaro Attendance: 31000 Vidal double gives Juve win An early penalty and a neat chipped finish from Arturo Vidal gave Juventus a 2-0 win over Lazio at Stadio Olimpico. Apr 15, 2013 Antonio Conte put his faith in Mirko Vucinic to lead the line for the Bianconeri, as they looked for the three points that could take them 11 points clear at the top of Serie A. Claudio Marchisio was also in unfamiliar surroundings with a seemingly more attacking role, whilst Federico Peluso came in for the injured Giorgio Chiellini. The capital club meanwhile welcomed back Miroslav Klose to the starting XI after the Germany international missed their Europa League loss to Fenerbahce, with the home side hoping for the victory that could keep their Champions League dreams alive. Those European ambitions looked to be on track early on, as the Aguile made an impressive start to the match. Andrea Candreva and Hernanes were causing problems in between the lines, with the Brazilian forcing Gianluigi Buffon into a smart save. It didn’t last long though, as after just eight minutes, the Old Lady were awarded a penalty when Lorik Cana brought down Marchisio. Vidal stepped up and struck sweetly past Federico Marchetti for the opening goal. The Turin giants grew from that point – with six midifelders on the pitch, they were keeping the ball with ease, and created a number of opportunities thanks to neat interplay in the middle of the park and the bombastic runs of Stephan Lichtsteiner. A mixture of poor finishing a good defending though, ensured that the lead wasn’t doubled. Vladimir Petkovic’s men weren’t disheartened and went close on two occasions from corner kicks. But midway through the half, the Bianconeri showed their class and got themselves a second. Michael Ciani got in a tangle inside his own area, and Vidal was there to capitalize and lift a shot over Marchetti from just eight yards out for a comfortable lead going into the break. Whatever Petkovic said at the interval, it worked. The hosts looked like a renewed side and took the game to Juve. Candreva with his pace and Libor Kozak with his height were hassling the Bianconeri, but it was Michael Ciani who nearly got a goal back for the Biancocelesti. The Frenchman rifled in a header from 12 yards out, but Buffon rolled back the years with a superb stop. Marchisio could have topped off a fantastic performance with a goal, only to fire over from close-range – but Conte’s men offered little else going forward in the second 45. They were content to just keep the ball and tire out their already fatigued opponents. The Turin giants weren’t anywhere near as good as they had been, but quite frankly, they didn’t need to be. Lazio were showing no creative spark and looked toothless going forward as a result. The visitors dominance saw the game peter out as they walked away with a comfortable three points. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lazio: Marchetti; Gonzalez, Ciani, Cana, Stankevicius; Ledesma (Crecco 68), Onazi, Hernanes (Kozak 45); Candreva, Mauri (Ederson 45); Klose Juventus: Buffon, Barzagli, Bonucci, Peluso; Lichtsteiner (Padoin 67), Vidal, Pirlo, Pogba, Asamoah, Marchisio (Giaccherini 89); Vucinic (Quagliarella 87) Ref: Giannoccaro http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 32 - 15-4-12 (8:45 p.m.) 0 - 2 Arturo Vidal (8′-PG) Arturo Vidal (28') Olimpico Stadium — Rome Referee: Antonio Giannoccaro Attendance: 31000‎ Vidal double edges Conte's men closer to Serie A title The Chilean struck early on from the penalty spot and doubled his tally in the first half, to open up an 11-point lead at the summit for the Old Lady. Apr 15, 2013 Juventus took another big step towards the Scudetto at the Stadio Olimpico, with a vital 2-0 victory away to Lazio. Arturo Vidal was the hero for the Bianconeri, netting twice in the first half during a routine win that leaves the Turin outfit 11 points clear at the summit with just six matches left. After crashing out of the Champions League in comprehensive fashion against Bayern Munich, Juve were keen to put that disappointment behind them and continue their march to the title in the Italian capital. Against a Lazio side still in the hunt for a spot in the continental competition, Antonio Conte's men could not have asked for a better start. Just seven minutes into the encounter, Mirko Vucinic escaped Lorik Cana only to be cut down in the box by a clumsy tackle from the centre-back. There was no doubt whatsoever about the penalty decision, and Vidal fired home with authority and put his side into the lead. The goal immediately put the visitors in the ascendancy, as Lazio struggled to contain a vibrant attack throughout the first half. Michael Ciani came to the rescue of his side to block from Claudio Marchisio after the midfielder latched on to Stephan Lichtsteiner's cross, while Vucinic went close to netting as his toe-poke from a low free kick forced an instinctive save from Marchetti. The home side challenged across the pitch, but their offensive efforts lacked clarity and focus and they rarely threatened Gianluigi Buffon between the posts. Ciani prevented what seemed to be a certain second goal when he made a diving intervention to block Vidal's shot, but Juventus were in control and it seemed just a matter of time before they would double their lead. Minutes after that chance, Vucinic's pass took a somewhat fortunate deflection in the box and, as the Lazio defence hesitated, Vidal took full advantage as he coolly finished past Marchetti. The Biancocelesti were sinking without trace, and Champions League football looked a distant dream as they went into the break well behind the Serie A pace-setters. A more determined home side came out for the second 45 minutes, and they nearly pulled one back just after the interval. A looping corner found the net of the stooping Ciani, and Buffon was forced to make an excellent save to keep his clean sheet intact as the ball spiralled towards the bottom-right corner. Moments later, however, Juve should have put the game beyond doubt with a golden chance. Andrea Pirlo's free kick was saved by Marchetti, but the keeper could not hold on to the ball and it rolled loose with at least three black shirts chasing the rebound. Marchisio arrived first, but misjudged the bounce and off balance, sliced his shot well over to the bar. Lazio then lamented their luck in front of goal; with Miroslav Klose making a mess of a perfect cross from Antonio Candreva. After a thrilling start to the second period, the match soon lost its urgency with Juventus taking control, stroking the ball around the park and assuring victory. There was no way back for the home team, who slumped to defeat in front of their own fans and saw their hopes of European football fade even further. The win means Juve move 11 points clear of Napoli at the Serie A summit, and with just six games left to play, the title looks almost certain to return to Turin. Lazio, meanwhile, remain in fifth place, eight points behind AC Milan who currently occupy the final qualifying spot for the Champions League. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Alcuni tifosi della Juve dovrebbero non guardare piú le trasmissioni sportive alla tv.

Juve padrona dell'Olimpico.

Perché Vucinic purtroppo é fatto cosí.

Buffon é uno dei piú grandi portieri di tutti i tempi, Marchetti no.

Quali parole? Mi segnalate il post incriminato?

Petkovic ha strigliato i suoi nello spogliatoio e cambiato bene lo schema.

Gigi rinuncia alla pensione.

Bravo Klose

Lo penso anche io.

Matri, Giovinco e Quagliarella preparano le valigie.

Buffon non é pensionato stasera.

Peluso ammonito.

Forse Conte non lo ha adottato altrimenti i tedeschi lo avrebbero definito catenacciaro.

Ciani sembra distorsione alla caviglia.

Marchisio fuori di poco .... deviato.

ARTURO VIDAL 0-2

Cana = cane

Riflessi pronti di Marchetti.
