Coppa Italia - Semi-final - 22-1-2013 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Torino Referee: Antonio Damato HT - 0-0: Lazio frighten Juve Jan 22, 2013 Lazio have had the best scoring opportunities in the first half of the Coppa Italia semi-final in Turin, but it’s still goalless with Juventus. These sides are battling for the top of the Serie A table, but also went head-to-head for a place in the Coppa Italia Final. This was the first leg of the semi-final, so away goals will count for the decider on January 29. Juve were without Andrea Pirlo, Giorgio Chiellini, Nicklas Bendtner, Simone Pepe, Kwadwo Asamoah and the suspended Fabio Quagliarella, while Mirko Vucinic was rested due to an ankle problem. Antonio Conte completely reshuffled with Luca Marrone in the back three and Claudio Marchisio supporting lone striker Alessandro Matri. Lazio missed Miroslav Klose, Abdoullay Konko, Ederson and the banned Andre Dias. Federico Marchetti needed a save in the opening 45 seconds as Marchisio rushed in behind Matri to pounce on a ricochet. Leonardo Bonucci then nodded a free kick over from close range and Paul Pogba went close twice from a corner on the day he unveiled a new haircut. Michael Ciani’s header was also off target from a corner for Lazio, but Juve almost gave a goal away when Marco Storari dropped an easy catch and was fortunate nobody could tap in. Pedro Luis Cavanda horribly scuffed his shot from an excellent scoring position, then Emanuele Giaccherini rushed back for a crucial interception on Hernanes. The Bianconeri defence was shaky, as Bonucci was hobbling with an injury. Juve escaped another huge risk on 35 minutes, as Senad Lulic’s cross was mis-kicked into the air by Marrone, but a desperate Andrea Barzagli scramble prevented Stefano Mauri from bundling it over the line from a couple of yards. At the other end, a dangerous Mauricio Isla cross was turned over the bar. Bonucci could not continue any more and hobbled off before the break, making way for Martin Caceres. In stoppages, Giaccherini unleashed a powerful strike from distance and Marchetti did well to get a strong catch. JUVENTUS 0-0 LAZIO (Half-Time) JUVENTUS: Storari; Bonucci (Caceres 43), Marrone, Barzagli; Isla, Giaccherini, Vidal, Pogba, Peluso; Marchisio; Matri LAZIO: Marchetti; Biava, Cana, Ciani; Cavanda, Gonzalez, Ledesma, Hernanes, Lulic; Mauri; Floccari Ref: Damato

Coppa Italia - Semi-final - 22-1-2013 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Torino Referee: Antonio Damato Coppa line-ups: Juventus-Lazio Jan 22, 2013 Juventus have a completely new front line for tonight’s Coppa Italia semi-final against Lazio, who look to Sergio Floccari and Hernanes. These two sides are currently battling for the top of the Serie A table as well as a place in the Coppa Final, but go head-to-head in Turin at 19.45 GMT. This is the first leg of the semi-final and the decider is in Rome on January 29. This means that away goals do count at this stage of the competition. Andrea Pirlo, Giorgio Chiellini, Nicklas Bendtner, Simone Pepe, Kwadwo Asamoah and the suspended Fabio Quagliarella are unavailable for Juve. Claudio Marchisio returns, but Mirko Vucinic is nursing an ankle injury, so Alessandro Matri is the lone striker with support from Emanuele Giaccherini and Marchisio. Under-21 international Luca Marrone is given a rare opportunity to start, but it looks as if he will be in his traditional midfield role rather than at centre-back. Instead, Federico Peluso joins the back three. This is only provisional, as both versatile figures can play in defence or midfield. Arturo Vidal was expected to rest due to a recurring ankle problem, but he starts. Lazio must do without Miroslav Klose, Abdoullay Konko, Ederson and the banned Andre Dias, but again experiment with Lorik Cana in a three-man defence. Floccari has found the net in his last two games, so he leads the way with Hernanes pulling the midfield strings. JUVENTUS: Storari; Barzagli, Bonucci, Peluso; Isla, Vidal, Marrone, Pogba, Giaccherini; Marchisio; Matri LAZIO: Marchetti; Biava, Cana, Ciani; Cavanda, Gonzalez, Ledesma, Hernanes, Lulic; Mauri; Floccari

Buffon set to extend deal until 2015 Jan 22, 2013 Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon could be set to extend his contract at the club until 2015, according to reports in Italy. Both giornalaccio rosa dello Sport and Sky Sport Italia claim that a Press conference has been set up for Wednesday afternoon, which will be attended by the shot-stopper himself and President Andrea Agnelli. The 34-year-old has been at the Bianconeri since 2001 and has racked up over 400 appearances for the club.

Coppa Italia - Semi-final - 22-1-2013 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Torino Referee: Antonio Damato Juventus name squad for Lazio Jan 22, 2013 Juventus’ squad for tonight’s Coppa Italia semi-final match against Lazio includes just two first-team strikers. Boss Antonio Conte confirmed on Monday that he would have to invent something in attack given that Alessandro Matri and Mirko Vucinic were the only players available to him. It is unclear whether the latter will be risked from the start this evening after his recent fitness issues. Andrea Pirlo is missing from the midfield, but Claudio Marchisio returns after he picked up an injury in the 2-1 loss to Sampdoria on January 6. Squad: 1 Buffon, 4 Caceres, 6 Pogba, 8 Marchisio, 9 Vucinic, 11 De Ceglie, 13 Peluso, 15 Barzagli, 19 Bonucci, 20 Padoin, 23 Vidal, 24 Giaccherini, 26 Lichtsteiner, 30 Storari, 32 Matri, 33 Isla, 34 Rubinho, 35 Beltrame, 36 Rugani, 37 Schiavone, 38 Pol Garcia, 39 Marrone, 40 Kabashi.

Coppa Italia - Semi-final - 22-1-2013 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Torino Referee: Antonio Damato History favours Lazio v Juventus Jan 22, 2013 Lazio will take on Juventus in the Coppa Italia semi-finals on Tuesday evening with history in their favour. The two teams have met on 19 occasions in the Italian Cup, with the Biancocelesti collecting seven wins against Juve’s six. The capital outfit have been particularly good in recent Coppa games against the Old Lady of Italian football. In their last five meetings, Lazio have collected four wins and one draw. Juve’s last triumph against Lazio in the domestic Cup competition occurred in January 2000, when current boss Antonio Conte was one of the scorers in a 3-2 Delle Alpi victory.

Parma net Marrone for 2013-14? Jan 22, 2013 Juventus will continue to turn down January offers for Luca Marrone – although he will reportedly join Parma in the summer. It is understood that Genoa, Fiorentina and Parma have all attempted to sign the Italian Under-21 international this month. Juve, at the request of boss Antonio Conte, have rejected all bids, but the situation may change in the summer. Marrone, a central midfielder who has been used as a defender this term, has only appeared in seven games this term. The 22-year-old will thus be allowed to leave on loan for the 2013-14 campaign in order to gain experience of regular first team football.

Coppa Italia - Semi-final - 22-1-2013 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Antonio Damato Juventus-Lazio Betting Preview: There's value in opposing the hosts in cup clash The league leaders are warm favourites to enjoy a home victory in this Coppa Italia semi-final first leg match but Willie Duncan believes that a shock could be on the cards. Jan 22, 2013 Italian champions Juventus will continue their quest for further silverware when they play host to Vladimir Petkovic’s Lazio side in what promises to be an intriguing Coppa Italia semi-final first leg clash in Turin on Tuesday night. Antonio Conte’s men warmed up for this meeting with an emphatic 4-0 thrashing of Udinese at the weekend and Juventus are available at just 4/7 (1.57) with Bet365 to take a step towards the final by defeating Lazio here. Petkovic’s side were held by Palermo at the weekend but have not lost in any competition since slipping to defeat against Catania at the beginning of November. They are available at a tempting 5/1 (6.0) with Bet365 to take victory in Turin with the same firm offering 11/4 (3.75) that the match ends in a draw. The Bianconeri were beaten in last year’s final by Napoli and Bet365 go just 4/9 (1.44) for Conte’s men to take their place in this year’s final while the Biancocelesti are available at 13/8 (2.63) with the same firm to qualify for the final. It is worth noting that Petkovic’s men have kept five clean sheets in their last eight competitive matches and are capable of keeping things tight against a Juventus side that has won just one of their last four games inside 90 minutes. With that in mind, the 19/20 (1.95) on offer from Bet365 for fewer than three goals to be scored looks to represent decent value and could be worthy of support. Both sides are likely to be missing key protagonists for this clash but it is the hosts that appear to be most hampered by injury and the 7/5 (2.40) on offer from Bet365 for Lazio (+1) in the handicap market is outstanding value and simply must be snapped up here. With just five points separating the two clubs at the top of Serie A, the disparity in match odds seems disproportionate and the draw, available at 11/4 (3.75) with Bet365, is superb value in what promises to be an evenly-matched contest.

Pogba will stay at Juventus until the summer, says agent The midfielder has been linked with a number of clubs following several eye-catching displays, but his representative insists he is not for sale at any price. Jan 22, 2013 Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola says the 19-year-old will not be leaving Juventus in the January transfer window and will remain in Turin until the summer. The former Manchester United midfielder has shined in Italy so far, which has seen him linked with a move away from Juventus Stadium, but Raiola has moved to put an end to the latest round of speculation regarding his future. "What is he worth? He is not for sale so has no value. [Giuseppe] Marotta can stay calm, he will stay in Turin until July definitely," he told giornalaccio rosa dello Sport. Pogba only joined the Bianconeri during the summer following his move from Old Trafford and scored twice in his side's 4-0 victory over Udinese on Saturday. The youngster has made 18 appearances for the club so far, scoring four goals.

Coppa Italia - Semi-final - 22-1-2013 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Antonio Damato Conte: Juventus unfairly criticised The former Siena boss has insisted that the Serie A champions can still win every competition they compete in, and has warned not to underestimate Lazio in the Coppa Italia. Jan 22, 2013 Antonio Conte feels that the criticism aimed at Juventus in the wake of their Serie A loss against Sampdoria and draw against Parma earlier this month was harsh. The Bianconeri initially struggled to find their best form after the winter break, but Conte has pointed out that they are still in a great position to win silverware this term. "I’ve heard a little too much criticism this week. Certain people have spoken about a team in crisis because we weren’t able to beat Sampdoria and Parma despite two good performances," Conte said at a press conference. "I’m perfectly relaxed and focus solely on what we’ve achieved. We’re top of the table, we’re in the Coppa Italia semi-finals for the second year in a row and have made it through to the last 16 of the Champions League." The 43-year-old then went on to discuss his side's Coppa Italia tie against Lazio, and stressed that the Stadio Olimpico side will not be pushovers. He said: "We’ll face a strong Lazio side. They’re compact, well-organised and will look to close down space before breaking on the counter-attack. "However, we’ll be playing with the same objective as ever: to win. I’m perfectly relaxed about this because the lads know exactly what is required of them." The first leg of the semi-final clash is on Tuesday.

Coppa Italia - Semi-final - 22-1-2013 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Antonio Damato Juventus are the team to beat, says Petkovic The Lazio coach has nothing but respect for the reigning Italian champions, but believes his side can cause them problems in the Coppa Italia semi-final on Tuesday. Jan 22, 2013 Vladimir Petkovic believes that Juventus are the team to beat in the Coppa Italia and Serie A ahead of Tuesday's cup encounter, but has insisted that Lazio will do their utmost to make life difficult for the Bianconeri. The Stadio Olimpico side have closed the gap on the Serie A leaders to five points following a string of good results in the past few months, and Petkovic has stressed that they want to keep up their good form in the remainder of the season. "Juventus are the team to beat, the strongest team in the league," Petkovic stated at a press conference. "But in the last 12 games, we’ve got the most points, we are doing well and we want to do even better." The 49-year-old then went on to discuss Tuesday's semi-final and made it clear that he expects an even contest. "Tuesday's encounter and the one in Rome will see a great 180 minutes of football. We have to avoid any lapse in concentration which could cost us dearly." The first leg in Turin is scheduled to kick off at 20:45CET.

Coppa Italia - Semi-final - 22-1-2013 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Antonio Damato Juventus lacking attacking options for Lazio clash The Bianconeri are short on options for Tuesday's clash with the Biancocelesti and the Italian coach confirms Andrea Pirlo's extended absence. Jan 21, 2013 Juventus boss Antonio Conte is suffering a lack of striking options ahead of Tuesday's Coppa Italia semi-final clash with Lazio. The 43-year-old has been left with a depleted strikeforce following injuries to Sebastian Giovinco and Nicklas Bendtner, while leading scorer Fabio Quagliarella misses out through suspension. And Conte admits he is erring on the side of caution before making a decision on Mirko Vucinic's fitness. “We’ll have to evaluate Vucinic,” Conte told reporters. “He played 90 intense minutes at the weekend after a period in which we had to preserve him because of his ankle. “I’ll need to speak to Vucinic, but I have to evaluate everything. I don’t want him to get injured again, I want to be cautious. “We’ll have to carefully consider whether to give him another 90 minutes, especially as we only have one striker left in Alessandro Matri. "I'm not yet able to say who will play, I'll have to deploy someone out of their natural position.” The Bianconeri are also set to be without the influence of Andrea Pirlo once more. The 33-year-old missed out on the 4-0 victory over Udinese at the weekend and Conte confirmed Pirlo would again be unavailable for selection. He added: “Pirlo won’t play, that’s for certain. However, Claudio Marchisio should return.”

Coppa Italia - Semi-final - 22-1-2013 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Antonio Damato Juventus-Lazio Preview: Buoyant Bianconeri chase Coppa Italia glory Just five points separate the two sides in Serie A, but that will count for nothing on Tuesday night as the high-flying pair do battle at Juventus Stadium. Jan 21, 2013 PROBABLE LINE-UPS JUVENTUSStorari Barzagli, Marrone, Peluso Isla, Pogba, Pirlo, Giaccherini, De Ceglie Matri, Vucinic LAZIO Marchetti Konko, Biava, Dias, Lulic Candreva, Gonzalez, Ledesma, Hernanes, Mauri Floccari Silverware is in sight for both Juventus and Lazio as they clash in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final on Tuesday night. The Bianconeri go into the game on the back of a resounding 4-0 win over Udinese on Saturday, while the Biancocelesti played out a battling 2-2 draw with Palermo in their last encounter. With just five points separating the two sides in Serie A, the winner of this cup contest could also strike a telling mental blow in the title race and that fact will not be lost on either Antonio Conte or Vladimir Petkovic. Juve will be without several key men, with Giorgio Chiellini (calf), Simone Pepe (hamstring), Nicklas Bendtner (abductor tear) and Marchisio all missing, while Miroslav Klose, Ederson and Abdoulay Konko are absent for Lazio. DID YOU KNOW? • Juventus may be without Claudio Marchisio, but Paul Pogba put forward a compelling case for a regular starting birth with two goals in the 4-0 win over Udinese on Saturday. • The Bianconeri have lifted the Coppa Italia nine times. • Sebastian Giovinco and Fabio Quagliarella are the club's joint-top scorers this season, with six goals each. • The absence of Miroslav Klose could hit Lazio hard, as he has struck 10 times already this term. • Vladimir Petkovic's side saw off Catania 3-0 in the quarter-finals to seal their semi-final date with Juventus. • The two teams played out a 0-0 draw in their last meeting back in November.

Sergio Floccari With top scorer Miroslav Klose absent through injury, the goalscoring burden will rest on the shoulders of the 31-year-old striker. He will be desperate to make an impression and hope to open his account for the season in the process. Prediction After playing out a cagey 0-0 draw earlier this season, another tight affair is to be expected and though the home side will be desperate to strike a first-leg blow, Lazio will have enough to take a draw back to Stadio Olimpico. Editor's Prediction Juventus 1 - 1 Lazio

Marotta: Llorente will move to Juventus this summer The Bianconeri CEO is confident that his club will be able to lure the Spain international in the summer having missed out on a January transfer for the player. Jan 21, 2013 Juventus sporting director Giuseppe Marotta is confident of signing Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente. Goal.com exclusively revealed that the Bianconeri had a January bid for the Spain international turned down last week, but the 57-year-old is certain that he will represent the club next season nonetheless. "I do not beat around the bush, we told Athletic Bilbao that we are interested in the player and I'm optimistic about his contract. He will play for Juventus from July 1," the 57-year-old told Radio24. Marotta went on to say the club are always monitoring the transfer market, but claimed that a move for Napoli star Edinson Cavani would be incredibly unlikely. "We watch the market carefully, if there are possibilities of improving the group will try to catch them. Cavani is not only elusive for Juve, but for all the Italian teams," he added.

Pogba is like a Dali painting, says Raiola The midfielder's representative feels his client is quite an unique talent, and has revealed several European giants wanted to sign him last summer before he moved to Italy. Jan 21, 2013 Mino Raiola has heaped praise upon his client Paul Pogba in the wake of the Frenchman's impressive performance in Juventus' 4-0 Serie A win over Udinese on Sunday. The former Manchester United midfielder featured for the full 90 minutes and scored twice to help the Scudetto holders to three points. "His valuation is not a problem. You can't put a price on him. Pogba is not for sale," Raiola told Corriere dello Sport. "Paul is a bit like a Dali-painting. Pieces of art are very rare and are worth a lot because they are appreciated by a lot of people. Pogba is just like that. "Juventus fans are concerned that they might lose him to some rich sheik-owned club? That's an understandable concern. I always look after the interests of my players. "Clubs like Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter all enquired about Paul last summer." Pogba is under contract with Juventus until June 2016.

Coppa Italia - Semi-final - 22-1-2013 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Torino Referee: Antonio Damato Zauri saves girl from well Jan 21, 2013 Lazio defender Luciano Zauri has saved the granddaughter of Juventus legend Zbigniew Boniek from a well in Rome. La Repubblica have revealed that the Italy international was lowered into the four-metre hole after the seven-year-old girl had fallen in on Sunday evening. The veteran full-back was lowered into the well on a rope, before pulling the child out to safety. The girl was then taken to hospital with minor bruises.

Coppa Italia - Semi-final - 22-1-2013 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Torino Referee: Antonio Damato Klose out of Coppa semi-final Jan 21, 2013 Miroslav Klose will miss Lazio's Coppa Italia semi-final first-leg against Juventus on Tuesday. The German striker was left out of the Biancocelesti's squad for their match against Palermo on Saturday after picking up a muscular problem, and Vladimir Petkovic has decided to keep the 34-year-old on the sidelines for the Coppa clash. Full squad: Marchetti, Bizzarri, Carrizo; Biava, Cavanda, Radu, Scaloni, Zauri, Ciani; Cana, Ledesma, Mauri, Candreva, Lulic, Gonzalez, Brocchi, Hernanes; Floccari, Kozak, Rozzi.

Coppa Italia - Semi-final - 22-1-2013 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Torino Referee: Antonio Damato Conte to ‘invent’ Juventus attack Jan 21, 2013 Juventus boss Antonio Conte faces a striker shortage ahead of Tuesday’s Coppa Italia semi-final against Lazio. Sebastian Giovinco and Nicklas Bendtner are injured for the first leg clash, Fabio Quagliarella is banned and Mirko Vucinic may not be risked from the first minute after recent fitness issues. “We’ll have to evaluate Vucinic,” Conte stated on Monday. “He played 90 intense minutes at the weekend after a period in which we had to preserve him because of his ankle. “I’ll need to speak to Vucinic, but I have to evaluate everything. I don’t want him to get injured again, I want to be cautious. “We’ll have to carefully consider whether to give him another 90 minutes, especially as we only have one striker left in Alessandro Matri. “Matri will play tomorrow as Giovinco will almost certainly not be at my disposal. Matri came on in the second half against Udinese and did well. I'm impressed by his desire to improve. “There are other players who can be used as a striker with Matri or as a trequartista. I'm not yet able to say who will play, I'll have to deploy someone out of their natural position.” Conte will also be without midfield creator Andrea Pirlo again after the latter also missed the 4-0 win over Udinese. “Pirlo won’t play, that’s for certain,” he added. “However, Claudio Marchisio should return.” The tactician confirmed that January signing Federico Peluso would be in his starting XI at the Juventus Stadium. “I thought Peluso played well against Sampdoria [on his debut]. He’ll play tomorrow, but I don’t know yet in what role – in defence or on the left of midfield.” Lazio frustrated Juventus in Serie A earlier this season and the tactician has respect for the side who are joint-second in the championship – just five points adrift of the Old Lady. “I expect a tough Lazio, one who will look to not give us a lot of space and hit us on the counter,” Conte added. “They have excellent players, ones of class and experience. They’ll fight until the end in the championship and they’ll do well in Europe too. “Lazio will be strong, compact and well-organised. They have consolidated the good foundations established by Edy Reja.” Conte then cut-short any questions about the January transfer window. “We're playing in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia. I'm focused solely on the game for the time being, not the transfer market.”

Serie A - 2^ Giornata - Ritorno - 19-1-2013 (ore 20:45) 4 - 0 Paul Pogba (41′) Paul Pogba (66′) Mirko Vučinić (72′) Alessandro Matri (80′) Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Luca Banti Attendance: 38000 Serie A - Pogba e Juve da paura: 4-0 e +5 sulla Lazio I bianconeri travolgono l’Udinese centrando il primo successo in campionato del 2013 nell’anticipo serale di Torino: splendida doppietta del francese, gol di Vucinic e Matri. Gli uomini di Conte allungano sui biancocelesti e aspettano il Napoli. Eurosport - Sabato, 19 gennaio 2013 Riecco la Juventus. Nella serata in cui mancavano addirittura quattro titolari tra centrocampo e difesa, l’armata di Antonio Conte torna a macinare punti con la forza delle seconde linee capitanata da uno straordinario Paul Pogba. L’uomo che ha fatto la differenza aprendo le marcature con una sassata che entra di diritto nei gol più belli della stagione e raddoppiando in avvio di ripresa, nel momento migliore dell’Udinese. Se poi si aggiunge anche un Mirko Vucinic capace di produrre un gol e un assist (per Alessandro Matri), il 4-0 inflitto all’Udinese nell’anticipo serale della 21esima giornata di Serie A sembra quasi un fatto inevitabile. Quello che permette ai campioni d’Italia di allungare a cinque punti il vantaggio sulla Lazio frenata a Palermo (2-2). Riecco la Juve, insomma. VIDAL RECUPERATO, DI NATALE IN PANCA - Antonio Conte perde per infortunio Pirlo e Quagliarella in aggiunta all’indisponibile Asamoah (in Sudafrica per la Coppa d’Africa) e ai lungodegenti Pepe, Chiellini, Bendtner e Marchisio. Il modulo resta un 3-5-2 e la buona notizia è soprattutto il recupero di Vidal, regolarmente schierato da interno destro con Pogba in regia e Giaccherini mezz’ala sinistra. Caceres è confermato in difesa, mentre in attacco torna titolare Vucinic al fianco di Giovinco. Francesco Guidolin ha fuori Badu e Benatia, entrambi in Coppa d’Africa, ma anche il portiere titolare Brkic che, dopo l’espulsione rimediata dopo pochi minuti all’andata, cede ancora i pali a Padelli al cospetto della Vecchia Signora. L’assenza più pesante, però, è quella di Di Natale, che parte dalla panchina dopo dei problemi gastrointestinale e lascia spazio a Pereyra nel tradizionale 3-5-2 friulano. POGBA, GOL DA TOP PLAYER - La Juventus, pur imbottita di riserve, parte a mille e sembra decisamente più tonica rispetto alle prime uscite del 2013. Ma dopo una decina di minuti di sofferenza, l’Udinese prende le misure agli attacchi di casa e alza la diga a protezione di un ottimo Padelli, capace di rispondere a Vidal al 14’ e a Giaccherini al 19’. Le vere occasioni di una Juventus che domina in lungo e in largo arrivano così da calcio d’angolo, dove Pogba alza di testa due volte da un passo e Bonucci sfiora la traversa alla mezz’ora, sempre con un’incornata. Proprio quando il gol sembra non saperne di voler arrivare, ecco la botta di Pogba, che al 41’ si inventa una rete da fenomeno autentico. Stop e sassata dai 30 metri che si infila all’incrocio dei pali. È il gol che sblocca la partita e manda le squadre all’intervallo sul vantaggio juventino. POGBA FA DOPPIETTA, VUCINIC NE SERVE DUE - Conte rimpiazza subito in avvio di ripresa un Giovinco con troppe pause e mette Matri a far coppia con Vucinic, mentre Guidolin risponde con Di Natale al posto di uno spento Pereyra (50’). I friulani iniziano a crederci e alzano il baricentro approfittando di un momento di pausa della Juventus. Ma, stringi stringi, Buffon non corre mai un pericolo che sia uno. E, alla fine, arriva ancora Pogba che al 66’ spegne le velleità ospiti con la seconda rete della serata, un’altra tremenda botta da fuori che questa volta si infila bassa alla sinistra di Padelli. È la mazzata che taglia definitivamente le gambe all’Udinese, che si sgonfia e al 72’ deve incassare anche il 3-0 di Vucinic, una girata sul primo palo sugli sviluppi di un corner sulla quale Padelli è decisamente colpevole. Guidolin mette Maicosuel per un impreciso Muriel (73’), mentre Conte è costretto a cambiare l’acciaccato Vidal con Padoin (78’). Poco male, perché la Juventus continua a giocare e alla fine Vucinic serve anche a Matri il quarto gol stagionale con uno splendido lob che porta al poker perfetto (80’). Finisce così. La Juventus centra il primo successo in campionato nel 2013 e torna a fare la voce grossa nella serata dei grandi assenti. Il sabato sera va in archivio con un +5 sulla Lazio e un +6 temporaneo sul Napoli. Non male per una squadra in crisi. Mattia Fontana. http://it.soccerway....regular-season/

Coppa Italia - Semi-final - 22-1-2013 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Torino Referee: Antonio Damato Hernanes: Time for Lazio to concentrate on Juventus The Brazilian midfielder believes the Biancocelesti need to take whatever positives they can from their draw with Palermo before facing the league leaders in the Coppa Italia. Jan 20, 2013 Hernanes has called on his Lazio team-mates not to dwell on their disappointing 2-2 draw with Palermo and focus on their forthcoming games, starting with Juventus. Vladimir Petkovic's side took an early lead through Sergio Floccari but, after goals from Alevaro Rios and Paulo Dybala, they only managed to rescue a point against the Sicilians with a late penalty from Hernanes. However, after the game, the 27-year-old Brazilian stressed that there were some positive elements that his side could build on in future. "At the end of the day it's a point gained," the former Sao Paulo man was quoted by La giornalaccio rosa dello Sport. "It didn't go well, but we showed character. Now we need to think of the upcoming games, starting with Juventus." This optimism was shared by others in the squad, including Giuseppe Biava, who played for the Rosanero earlier in his career and praised the spirit of the opposition. "A normal team would be down and out at 2-1," the 35-year-old defender claimed. "But we were good." "In the first half Palermo were a little fearful, perhaps due to their position, but in the second half they came out fighting. "Gasperini is one of the best I've ever played under. If the players follow him, they can do well." Lazio are currently second in Serie A with 43 points, five behind leaders Juventus, while strugglers Palermo are down in 19th with 16 points.

Asamoah open to left-back role Jan 21, 2013 Juventus’ Kwadwo Asamoah says he has no problem in being used as a left-back for Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations. Asamoah has been converted from a central midfielder to a left-sided wing-back in Turin this season, but he’s now being used by his country in defence. “I can play in many positions and if the Coach has decided to play me at left-back, I have no problem with it,” the summer signing from Udinese told GNA Sports. “I play according to the Coach’s instructions and tactics. Overall, I am very comfortable playing at left-back.” Ghana drew 2-2 with the Democratic Republic of Congo on Sunday after going 2-0 up with a goal from Asamoah.

Juventus beat Euro giants to Pogba Jan 21, 2013 The agent of Paul Pogba says that Juventus beat the likes of Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid for his client. The teenager moved to the Turin giants in the summer on a free transfer after his contract at Manchester United expired. On Saturday night, he scored a stunning brace as the Old Lady defeated Udinese 4-0 in Turin. “His display was pleasing, but I already knew that he had certain skills,” Mino Raiola told the Corriere dello Sport. “I agree with Juventus boss Antonio Conte, to eulogise about him now makes no sense. “He’s shown that he has potential, but he must work, he must strengthen physically and grow by keeping his feet on the ground. “Then he could become one of the best players in the world in his position. Like all great players, his only limitation is himself. “Who else wanted him? Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid and other English clubs. Inter? Yes, but they agreed to respect an agreement with Manchester United.” The 19-year-old has four goals in 13 League games so far this season, eight appearances of which came from the first minute. “I don’t know what Sir Alex Ferguson may have thought on Saturday,” Raiola added. “Maybe he underestimated his mental strength. “When Paul understood that he wasn’t being enhanced, he decided that it was over in Manchester. He felt that a move away would do him good.” Pogba was fielded as an alternative to Andrea Pirlo at the weekend, but his versatility allows him to be used in a variety of ways. “He can play instead of Pirlo, but also as an inside midfielder or even as a centre-back at the end of his career like Frank Rijkaard. “He has great tactical awareness. And what he is doing at Juventus is thanks to Conte who isn’t scared to play youngsters.” Raiola was also asked how he would describe his client given that he compared Mario Balotelli, another of his players, to the Mona Lisa. “Pogba is like a Dali painting. Works of art are rare and are worth a lot because people appreciate them. Paul is one of them.”
