Serie A Week 13 - 17/11/2012 (06:00 p.m.) 0 - 0 Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Daniele Orsato Attendance: 38839‎ Biancocelesti hold off Bianconeri pressure Nov 17, 2012 Juventus and Lazio played out a 0-0 draw at the Juventus Stadium in Serie A on Saturday evening. The Bianconeri started the game with pace. Their opening chance came after one minute through Arturo Vidal, he dribbled past three defenders and played a through ball for Fabio Quagliarella, but he couldn’t get his foot to it. Ninety seconds later, Marchetti was pressured by Sebastian Giovinco on a backpass, but the Lazio goalkeeper got away with some lovely footwork, skinning Giovinco to get out of danger. In the 15th minute, Lazio finally got an attempt after a dominant spell of Juve possession. Stefan Radu blasted a header inches over the bar from a corner kick, but it would’ve been negated had it gone in thanks to a foul in the box. Two minutes past when Claudio Marchisio put Giovinco through, but his shot was saved by Marchetti. Quagliarella pounced on the rebound, but fired it into the side netting. Giovinco again found himself with another opportunity in the 31st. He collected Mauricio Isla’s cross and had a hit, but it slid just wide of the goal. It was Giovinco who popped up again just seconds later. He received Leonardo Bonucci’s pass, controlled well, but the following effort went wide past a wide-eyed Marchetti. There was controversy on 34 minutes. Vidal carried the ball into the penalty area and appeared to have been upended by Cristian Ledesma’s clumsy looking challenge, but referee Daniele Orsato was having none of it. The Bianconeri started the second half like they did in the first and got an effort on 54 minutes from it. Quagliarella found Giovinco who managed to break through towards goal, but he laid it off to Isla instead. The Chilean hit a cross into the area, unfortunately no one was there on the follow up. The best moment for Juve came on 61 minutes. Vidal tried from distance, it was deflected by Quagliarella, but Marchetti showed off some amazing reflexes and parried the ball over the bar. 65th minute produced another Juventus hit as Marchisio tipped Isla’s cross, but Marchetti got down quickly to keep it out. Isla again caused problems for Lazio’s defense with another cross, but Abdoulay Konko turned it over the bar. On 70 minutes, Simone Pepe made his return after a long injury layoff, replacing Isla. Juve nearly took advantage on a corner in the 73rd. Andrea Barzagli flicked the ball towards Bonucci, but he struck the bar on the follow up. Claudio Marchisio popped up with an effort in the 78th, but the strong shot was knocked away by Marchetti. The last ten minutes went by without any more opportunities for either team despite some attack minded substitutions. In the end both sides split the points. It’s the fourth time in 24 games where Juventus failed to win, while Lazio have now gone four matches without a victory. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 13 - 17/11/2012 (06:00 p.m.) 0 - 0 Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Daniele Orsato Attendance: 38839‎ Marchetti keeps Juventus at bay Nov 17, 2012 Federico Marchetti produced a goalkeeping masterclass to deny Juventus all three points as resilient Lazio negotiated a goalless draw with the reigning Serie A champions. Juve had responded to their first league defeat in 50 games - courtesy of Inter Milan - by beating FC Nordsjaelland 4-0 and Pescara 6-1 but, with Lazio chasing Champions League football, the Romans were in no mood to roll over in Turin. Sebastian Giovinco and Fabio Quagliarella proved particularly dangerous to Marchetti in the visiting goal but the former Torino stopper repelled everything that came his way to consign Juve to a first home stalemate since February. Fresh from victory in the Rome derby, a point for Vladimir Petkovic's men ensures another week in fifth place ahead of tomorrow's fixtures. Marchetti needed to display some fancy footwork in the third minute, a clumsy backpass causing all sorts of problems as Giovinco lurked nearby. Kwadwo Asamoah worked Marchetti's palms with a rasping effort from the left flank, but it was Giovinco who provided a sterner test as he tried his luck with his back to goal. Marchetti was equal to that attempt but he was grateful for Quagliarella's faulty radar as the Juve striker slammed into the side netting from close range. Giovinco was eager to grab a third goal in as many games and it nearly came when the diminutive forward dug out a sumptuous strike despite heavy pressure from the visiting defenders. Lazio had managed to save some energy for a surprise counter-attack just before the break, but the imposing Giorgio Chiellini cut out Hernanes' tricky run before he could carve out an opening. Paul Pogba, deputising for the suspended Andrea Pirlo, tested Marchetti's concentration after the break and the Lazio man looked lively once again. His reactions were more seriously tested in the 62nd minute, though, but he guessed right as Arturo Vidal's shot took a wicked deflection off Quagliarella. Alessandro Matri duly emerged for the tiring Quagliarella and Petkovic took to the touchline to urge retreat in anticipation of one last Juventus push. With 10 men packing the Biancocelesti box, Claudio Marchisio was restricted to shooting from distance, to no avail, while Andrea Barzagli appealed unsuccessfully for a penalty when Cristian Ledesma appeared to handle the ball. Five minutes of stoppage time felt like an eternity for Lazio, but the side who had failed to summon a single shot on target would leave Turin with a valuable point. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 13 - 17/11/2012 (06:00 p.m.) 0 - 0 Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Daniele Orsato Attendance: 38839‎ Marchetti denies dominant Juve Nov 17, 2012 Juventus absolutely dominated their match with Lazio, but were denied by a stunning performance from goalkeeper Federico Marchetti for a point. This is the Biancocelesti’s first 0-0 draw in 34 rounds. The Serie A leaders welcomed fifth-placed Lazio and Paul Pogba stood in for the suspended Andrea Pirlo a week after the Frenchman was dropped for turning up late to training. Mirko Vucinic was a last-minute absentee with flu, while Lazio had Stefano Mauri and Senad Lulic banned. Federico Marchetti had a worrying moment in the third minute, as an over-hit back-pass caused him real problems, but he managed to dribble away from Sebastian Giovinco with some smart footwork. Kwadwo Asamoah surged down the left and stung Marchetti’s palms at the near post. A defensive error allowed Giovinco to kick with his back to goal, forcing a great save out of Marchetti on the line, then Fabio Quagliarella hit the side-netting on the follow-up from close range. During that move, Andre Dias landed awkwardly and limped off for Michael Ciani. Giovinco hooked a cross with a divine first touch, but turned and drilled just wide. Moments later the Atomic Ant hooked another long ball over the top with a wonderful touch when surrounded by defenders, but once more the angled drive was off target. Arturo Vidal was barged off the ball just outside the area, but the referee waved for him to get back up. Giorgio Chiellini did well to cut off Hernanes after a rare Lazio foray forward. After the restart a long-range Pogba snapshot whistled over and Candreva’s free kick was into the wall. The Bianconeri wasted a good opportunity when Mauricio Isla’s cross was completely off kilter, then nobody was ready to tap in an Asamoah pull-back. Marchetti performed an absolutely sensational save on the hour mark, as a long-range Vidal shot was deflected off Quagliarella, but the goalkeeper managed to change direction mid-air to palm it out from under the crossbar! Marchetti was again crucial to push a pass off the feet of Quagliarella from four yards and Abdoullay Konko risked an own goal to clear over the bar. Simone Pepe was introduced for his first Serie A match of the campaign. Marchetti was eventually beaten on 75 minutes, but he was saved by the woodwork, as Leonardo Bonucci smacked his finish on to the crossbar from a corner. The Lazio goalkeeper was on stunning form and got down to beat a Claudio Marchisio strike off the line with one hand. There were some timid appeals for a penalty, but Cristian Ledesma’s arm was practically behind his back when the cross struck him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JUVENTUS: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Isla (Pepe 70), Vidal, Pogba (Bendtner 84), Marchisio, Asamoah; Giovinco, Quagliarella (Matri 67) LAZIO: Marchetti; Konko, Biava, Dias (Ciani 20), Radu; Candreva, Hernanes, Ledesma, Brocchi (Ederson 57), Gonzalez; Klose (Kozak 81) Ref: Orsato http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 13 - 17/11/2012 (06:00 p.m.) 0 - 0 Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Daniele Orsato Attendance: 38839‎ Bianconeri unable to beat masterful Marchetti The 29-year-old shot-stopper was in inspired form to keep out the Old Lady, who never truly threatened to find a winning goal despite their dominance of possession. Nov 17, 2012 Juventus stuttered to a goalless draw against a determined but limited Lazio, who barely had a sniff of their opponents' goal and relied on an inspired performance from goalkeeper Federico Marchetti. The Old Lady dominated proceedings and spent the final half an hour in the visitors' half, but never really looked like finding a way past Marchetti, even though Leonardo Bonucci rattled the crossbar from close range. The game started slowly, and the home side only had a speculative effort from Kwadwo Asamoah to show for their early endeavours. Antonio Conte's side went closer after 18 minutes; after controlling a high ball, Sebastian Giovinco forced a fine low save from Marchetti with a half-volley on the turn, while Fabio Quagliarella could only fire the loose ball into the side netting from an awkward angle. With a little of the composure he has shown in recent weeks, the Italian might have given his side the lead. Giovinco was at the heart of everything good as far as Juve were concerned in the first half, and had two opportunities to score the opening goal in a matter of moments. First, with a piece of skill similar to his earlier half-volley, he superbly brought down Mauricio Isla's right-wing pass and flashed a shot wide of the post from the edge of the area, before repeating the trick seconds later when he controlled Leonardo Bonucci's long ball and dragged another effort across goal. Lazio had little to show for themselves throughout, but Hernanes, as ever, looked to be their biggest threat during the first half. The Brazilian offered a warning to the Bianconeri with a driving run through their midfield 10 minutes before the break, only to be snuffed out. It was to be the story of the night for the away side. The hosts finished the half on top in terms of possession, but without anything to show for their efforts, and that would be, ultimately, how the game ended. A minute into the new half, Pogba lashed an effort over the bar from 25 yards as the Frenchman signalled his, and his team's, attacking intent. Conte's men upped the tempo, but still they could not break down the Biancocelesti back-line, often due to poor service from the wide areas. Yet they almost went ahead when Quagliarella deflected Arturo Vidal's long-range effort towards goal, only for Marchetti to change direction and push the ball over the crossbar thanks to a fine reaction save. Marchetti came to his side's rescue yet again moments later when he got down low to cut out Isla's low ball across the area with Quagliarella waiting to pounce. It was to be the striker's last involvement in the game, as he swiftly made way for Alessandro Matri. Again Juve came forward and again it was a low cross from the Chilean winger, but this time Abdoulay Konko was on hand to clear the danger with his goalkeeper beaten. They came closer still with 15 minutes on the clock. This time Bonucci crashed the ball off the crossbar from around six yards out out following Matri's downward header. Had he gone to finish with a bit more control, Juve may have had their goal. That man Marchetti was at full strength again three minutes later to keep out Matri's curling effort from 25 yards. As the final whistle approached, the home side poured forward with more urgency than they had done at the end of the first half, but the end result was the same; they could not conjure up a piece of magic to carve open Lazio. The Turin side have now failed to win their last two home league matches, and although they will move five points ahead of second-placed Inter, Andrea Stramaccioni's side will have the opportunity to close the gap at the top to two points when they play Cagliari on Sunday. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Marotta coy over Drogba to Juventus reports The former Chelsea striker has been linked with a move to the Bianconeri, but the club's director general is remaining tight-lipped over the speculation. Nov 17, 2012 Beppe Marotta has responded to reports linking Juventus with Didier Drogba by stating that the club will explore all avenues in the January transfer window. The Old Lady have long been accused of lacking a proven goalscorer, with Alessandro Matri, Fabio Quagliarella, Mirko Vucinic and summer signings Sebastian Giovinco and Nicklas Bendtner failing to produce on a regular basis. The likes of Edinson Cavani and Fernando Llorente have been mentioned as possible targets, but with the club not able to spend vast sums on transfer fees, the Shanghai Shenhua striker could fit the bill. "Our results have shown that we are competitive. However, it is clear that we can make some improvements," Marotta told reporters. "We will not exclude anything, even if we are not in the market. Our rotation policy? We will play in all competitions to the best of our powers, but the final decision will always be made by the coach." Marotta then gave his stance on the ongoing controversy between Antonio Conte and Antonio Cassano, with the pair embroiled in a bitter war of words. "When Conte spoke of players that could be of use to Juventus and those who would not serve a purpose, he was not referring to Antonio, he was being hypothetical," he added. "I do not want to feed any more controversy. Antonio is a star, but often his character lets him down in footballing terms."

Lawyers claim Conte was misinterpreted The Juventus coach's legal representatives say their client's statement was unfairly dismissed by the courts. Nov 17, 2012 Antonio Conte's lawyers have slammed the National Court for Sports Arbitration (TNAS) for issuing him with a touchline suspension for his alleged misconduct in the Scommessopoli scandal. The 43-year-old was initially handed a 10-month ban in August after being charged with failing to report two instances of match-fixing while in charge of Siena. His sentence was later reduced to four months, but Giulia Bongiorno, Luigi Chiappero and Antonio De Rensis - Conte's lawyers - have now suggested their client's statement, made in a meeting with FIGC prosecutor Stefano Palazzi, was not taken into account. A statement on the club's official website read: "The sentence passed by TNAS charges Antonio Conte with having been informed by Cristian Stellini on March 8, 2012 of the offence committed by the players in the match between Albinoleffe and Siena. "Therefore, according to the CONI [italian National Olympic Committee], Conte's failure to report the matter began at least on that date. "Clearly the members of the arbitration tribunal did not give due consideration to the statement made by Antonio Conte on July 13, 2012. "His statement proved Stellini never informed Conte about any agreements to fix the reverse fixture between Albinoleffe and Siena, he merely reported what had happened in the Siena dressing room after the game. "A simple observation - after the false accusation regarding Siena v Novara, after falsely affirming that Mastronunzio had been dropped from the squad for illicit reasons, and no longer able to use Carobbio's statements, the TNAS charged Antonio Conte and his defence with an admission of responsibility which in fact never took place. "This is a mistake which can no longer be rectified. Anyone who has the time and opportunity to read the records will be able to verify as much for themselves."

Per me la squadra peggiore incontrata é il Pescara.

Potevamo fare un goal in meno al Pescara e farne uno alla Lazio.

Laziali vergognosi

La Lazio perde tempo e Orsato l'aiuta.

Qualche anno fa abbiamo battuto la Lazio al 94' con Krasic. E se si ripetesse anche stasera con un altro protagonista?

Ciani che peserá 90 chili si fa male dopo uno scontro contro la formica Seba.

Entra Kozak giá con la testa fasciata.

Davvero sfortunato Bonucci in occasione della traversa.

Vidal tremendo.

Traversa di Bonucci

Vidal recupera l'ennesimo pallone.

Pepe in campo per Isla.

Angoli 8-1 per la Juve.

La deviazione era stata di Quagliarella.

Marchetti ci nega il vantaggio.
