  1. Gran palo colpito dall'interessantissimo Quintero
  2. Chissá che emozione per Perin davanti a Buffon!
  3. Serie A Week 12 - 10-11-12 (20:45 p.m.) - Adriatico Stadium (Giovanni Cornacchia) — Pescara Referee: Luca Banti Line-ups: Pescara-Juventus Nov 10, 2012 Juventus rely on Fabio Quagliarella for tonight’s trip to Pescara, while Juan Fernando Quintero starts just days after fainting during training. The Stadio Adriatico hosts the Serie A leaders at 19.45 GMT. There was tension in the Bianconeri camp leading up to the game, as Paul Pogba was dropped as punishment for arriving late to two training sessions. Simone Pepe and Paolo De Ceglie are also injured, while Mauricio Isla again steps in for Stefan Lichtsteiner. Quagliarella starts with Sebastian Giovinco, as Mirko Vucinic is still not 100 per cent fit. Pescara turned a corner last week by beating Parma 2-0 and hope to continue their surprisingly strong record against Juventus here. Quintero is fit to start despite being rushed to hospital after fainting during a training session on Tuesday, reportedly due to an allergic reaction. Giuseppe Colucci, Manuele Blasi, Alessandro Crescenzi, Christian Terlizzi and Luca Savelloni are sidelined. Meanwhile, there was bad news for Juventus today as two of their Primavera youth players fractured their fibulas. Joel Untersee – who has played with the senior squad over the summer – and Gabriel Appelt both suffered fractures to the fibula. Pescara: Perin; Cosic, Romagnoli, Bocchetti; Zanon, Nielsen, Cascione, Quintero, Modesto; Abbruscato, Jonathas Pescara bench: Pellizzoli, Balzano, Capuano, Soddimo, Bjarnason, Celik, Weiss, Caprari, Vukusic Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Isla, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Asamoah; Giovinco, Quagliarella Juventus bench: Storari, Rubinho, Lichtsteiner, Lucio, Caceres, Marrone, Padoin, Giaccherini, Vucinic, Bendtner, Matri http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/
  4. Serie A Week 12 - 10-11-12 (20:45 p.m.) - Adriatico Stadium (Giovanni Cornacchia) — Pescara Referee: Luca Banti Pescara vs Juventus PREVIEW: Time To Begin A New Streak Nov 10, 2012 The Bianconeri return to Serie A action this weekend, travelling to Pescara’s picturesque Stadio Adriatico, a ground they have not visited in Serie A since the 1992-93 season. Stripped of everything that made them so enjoyable to watch last term, the newly promoted side have struggled so far on their return to the top flight but, as ever, will be looking to spring a surprise when la vecchia Signora comes to town. It has unquestionably been a week of firsts for Juventus; the first Serie A loss in fifty matches, a first European win in almost three years plus debut continental strikes for Claudio Marchisio and Sebastian Giovinco. Now, robbed of that most incredible undefeated streak, Antonio Conte must continue the message sent in the comprehensive victory over Nordsjaelland and prove that last weekend’s loss has not dented the confidence of this most determined of teams. Of course Pescara, like the Danish Champions, will be considered minnows and any positive result will be dismissed by the wider Calcio audience as par for the course but Juventini everywhere will be looking for those small factors that prove to us the aura of invincibility remains unbroken and unbowed by such a sickening defeat. Indeed, as Marchisio – our new representative on the field in the post Alessandro Del Piero era – told TuttoSport on Friday, focus has been sharpened by recent events. He said; The defeat rekindled in us the light, the determination, the rhythm that was missing for several matches. The same anger, the same conviction. I would not talk of hunger… The fact is that after such a long period without defeat perhaps we had a bit too much confidence in ourselves. The future Captain could not have better summed up the feelings of everyone connected to the club as he basically thanked Andrea Stramaccioni for re-awakening the monster that this team can become and one can only imagine the reaction of Conte – a man who takes defeat worse than practically any human being on the planet – in training this past few days. Pescara could well face a similar onslaught to that which was on display in the opening 45 minutes of Wednesday’s Champions League fixture. Pescara If this season is one in which Juventus seek to prove last term was no fluke then, for their opponents this Saturday, it is undoubtedly a campaign where they are looking to show there is more to them than the impressive list of names on their list of departures over the summer. Marco Verratti now supplying the bullets for Zlatan Ibrahimovic et al in Paris, Ciro Immobile and Lorenzo Insigne making their name elsewhere in Serie A while Zdenek Zeman has taken his cavalier brand of football and eighty-a-day smoking habit back for a second tour of duty with Roma. Charged with attempting to survive their first Serie A campaign in twenty years is Giovanni Stroppa, a man who was a member of Zeman’s Foggia of Miracles back in the early nineties and also scorer of this fine goal for Udinese in a 2-1 loss to Juventus in 1996. His start to life at Pescara has been tough and, after six losses in their opening eleven games, his job is seriously under threat. The main cause of their problems has been a lack of goals, perhaps unsurprising given the previously mentioned departures and, with just eight goals, they possess the league’s most impotent attack and their cause is further hampered by a significant injury list which includes Christian Terlizzi, Alessandro Crescenzi and former Juve midfielder Manuele Blasi. Stroppa usually deploys them in a 4-3-2-1 shape although, like many, they are expected to switch to a three man defence for the visit of the reigning Champions. Probable Formation: (3-5-2) PERIN; COSIC, CAPUANO, BOCCHETTI; ZANON, NIELSEN, CASCIONE, QUINTERO, MODESTO; ABBRUSCATO, JONATHAS Juventus While two decades may have passed since Juventus last faced Pescara in the top flight, we only need to look back five years for their last trip to the Adriatic coast, Didier Deschamps leading the Bianconeri to a 1-0 win back in 2007 during the year of purgatory in Serie B. That match was settled by a well taken Alessandro Birindelli strike as a result of a Raffaele Palladino corner (let’s just take a moment to enjoy that…..) Back to today and Conte is expected to rotate once more but his plans were thrown off due to Paul Pogba arriving late for training twice this week. It was expected the youngster would give Andrea Pirlo takes a rare day off but the Bearded Genius may once again be forced to play as the former Manchester United man was excluded from the squad as a result of his poor time keeping. Elsewhere, Stephan Lichtsteiner may once again get the nod at right-back to allow the impressive Mauricio Isla chance to further recover his own fitness. Mirko Vucinic should return to the line-up for the once again disappointing Alessandro Matri while Fabio Quagliarella could consider himself unfortunate should Sebastian Giovinco be given the nod over him but, as the striker told Juventus.com, all that matters is victory. Following the midweek win in which he scored, he told the official website: Playing every three days means there’s no time to look back, the defeat along with yesterday’s victory are now firmly behind us. We’re all looking ahead to Pescara. There are five strikers and the manager has always been straight with us from the start, he picks two for every game and we all feel first choice. It’s possible to play two or three games in a row and then start on the bench or be in the stands. That attitude will be essential as the Bianconeri begin what looks, on paper at least, to be a difficult run of fixtures during which Conte will rely on almost every member of the squad to deliver when called upon. So to Pescara, launching pad for the next great undefeated streak! Probable Formation: (3-5-2) BUFFON; BARZAGLI, BONUCCI, CHIELLINI; LICHTSTEINER, MARCHISIO, PIRLO, VIDAL, ASAMOAH; GIOVINCO, VUCINIC http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 12 - 10-11-12 (20:45 p.m.) - Adriatico Stadium (Giovanni Cornacchia) — Pescara Referee: Luca Banti Probable Line-ups: Pescara v Juventus Nov 10, 2012 Juventus take on Pescara at the Stadio Adriatico at 20.45 CET on Saturday, 10 November.

  6. Pogba sends Juve message Nov 10, 2012 Paul Pogba’s agent slammed Antonio Conte and Juventus for dropping him due to disciplinary measures, but the player sent a very different message. The midfielder was left out of the squad travelling to Pescara this evening after he turned up late to two training sessions. “My teammates will do well! Forza Juventus!” he wrote on his Facebook page. It is a very different approach to the one taken by agent Mino Raiola, who blasted Conte for making the reason for his absence clear in a statement. “I hope it wasn’t Conte’s own decision, otherwise it means he is unable to deal with situations at this level.”
  7. Agent blasts Juventus for dropping Pogba The midfielder has been left out of the Bianconeri squad this weekend due to disciplinary problems, and his representative has criticised the club's decision to make this public. Nov 10, 2012 Paul Pogba has been left out of the Juventus squad for Saturday's Serie A match against Pescara after reporting late for two training sessions. The 19-year-old has showed promise in Turin following his summer arrival from Manchester United and had been in contention for a starting place against Pescara before it was announced that he would not travel with the team. A statement on the club's official website reads: "Pogba stays behind in Turin after reporting late to training on two separate occasions." The player's agent Mino Raiola has since come out and criticised the Turin side for deciding to publicise news of his client's indiscretions. “Whoever decided to put this news out on the website is evidently confused,” Raiola told giornalaccio rosa dello Sport. “I hope it wasn’t [coach Antonio] Conte’s own decision, otherwise it means he is unable to deal with situations at this level. “Paul is very disappointed with what happened, both for his lateness – despite good reasons – and for not being a part of the squad. “In the first instance of lateness he was notified late at night. In the second he had some appointments - the club themselves had organised for him to go through some paperwork.”
  8. Pogba's agent blasts 'incapable' Conte Nov 10, 2012 Paul Pogba’s agent has blasted Juventus and Antonio Conte for being “unable to deal with situations at this level” after publicly shaming the midfielder. The former Manchester United starlet was expected to start tonight’s game in Pescara, but has instead been dropped for turning up late to two training sessions. Unusually, the reason for the exclusion was made explicit in a statement on the Bianconeri website, infuriating agent Mino Raiola. “Whoever decided to put this news out on the website is evidently confused,” Raiola told La giornalaccio rosa dello Sport. “I hope it wasn’t Conte’s own decision, otherwise it means he is unable to deal with situations at this level. “Paul is very disappointed with what happened, both for his lateness – despite good reasons – and for not being a part of the squad. “In the first instance of lateness he only received notification of the training session time late into the night. “In the second he had some appointments that the club itself had organised for him to go through some paperwork.”
  9. Serie A Week 12 - 10-11-12 (20:45 p.m.) - Adriatico Stadium (Giovanni Cornacchia) — Pescara Referee: Luca Banti Stroppa: 'Pescara can hurt Juve' Nov 10, 2012 Pescara Coach Giovanni Stroppa feels Juventus reflect Antonio Conte’s character, but warns they can “hurt” them this evening. The Serie A leaders come to the Stadio Adriatico at 19.45 GMT after their 49-match unbeaten run was ended. Click here for a preview. “We are starting out as the underdogs against one of the best teams in the world. I ask for my players to show remarkable focus and grit, trying not to allow anything to Juventus, although we realise even that might not be enough. “We must suffer, but over the course of 90 minutes there will be moments where we can hurt Juventus. We have got to make the most of those moments,” continued the former Milan player. “I compliment Conte, as he transformed the squad to make the most of the characteristics of the players at his disposal. “He was considered to be a hardliner for the 4-2-4 system, but instead has found the right key in a 3-5-2. “This team embodies the character he had as a player. On the field Antonio would never give up.” Juan Fernando Quintero is in the squad despite being rushed to hospital when he fainted during a training session on Tuesday. Pescara squad for Juventus: Perin, Pelizzoli; Balzano, Bocchetti, Capuano, Cosic, Romagnoli, Zanon, Modesto; Cascione, Bjarnason, Nielsen, Weiss, Quintero, Togni; Abbruscato, Caprari, Celik, Jonathas, Soddimo, Vukusic http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/
  10. Serie A - 12^ Giornata - Andata - 10-11-2012 (ore 20:45) - Stadio Adriatico (Giovanni Cornacchia) — Pescara Arbitro: Luca Banti Marchisio: "Perdere con l'Inter ha riacceso in noi la vecchia luce" Il centrocampista bianconero ha fatto il punto della situazione: "In Coppa si è rivista la Juve dell'anno scorso, stessa rabbia, stessa convinzione. Adesso vediamo in campionato". Nov 9, 2012 Il 4-0 al Nordsjaelland è stato il modo migliore per inaugurare una nuova striscia d'imbattibilità. Quella vecchia, infatti, cominciava a stancare. Almeno secondo Claudio Marchisio, che adesso vede la sua Juventus come libera da un peso e pronta a fare anche meglio dell'anno scorso. Non resta quindi che ringaziare l'Inter per la sconfitta..."Ha riacceso in noi quella luce - dichiara Marchisio nel corso di un'intervista a 'Tuttosport' - , quella cattiveria in più, quel ritmo che mancava da diverse partite. In Coppa si è rivista la Juve dell’anno scorso: stessa rabbia, stessa convinzione. Ma se è stata veramente salutare chiedetemelo dopo il Pescara, perché se la reazione è durata solo in coppa non possiamo definirla una sconfitta salutare". Capire di non essere imbattibili può essere anche una cosa positiva: "Il fatto è che, dopo un periodo così lungo senza sconfitte, magari nutrivamo un po’ troppa fiducia in noi stessi. Non dico che avessimo preso la partita sotto gamba, ma certamente contro l’Inter non eravamo troppo sicuri di vincere, non abbastanza aggressivi nel recupero del pallone e concedevamo più del solito. Ed è cambiato tutto contro il Nordsjaelland, squadra che non è così scarsa come l’hanno descritta". In Champions la gara decisiva è col Chelsea: "Dovremo giocare come all’andata. Perché se è vero che siamo finiti sotto per 2-0 senza sapere, dobbiamo ripetere l’ottima prestazione e soprattutto la grande reazione che abbiamo avuto. Noi dobbiamo vincere, non dobbiamo fare calcoli e non penso che ne faranno pure loro". Il centrocampo è l'arma in più nella Juventus, Pogba la scoperta più bella: "Ha delle doti fisiche che ricordano Vieira, tecnicamente è forse pure più forte, ma la carriera di Vieira deve ancora farla! Ha un futuro roseo, vedo in lui la giusta sfrontatezza che non è arroganza, ma coraggio. Non ha paura di mettersi in mostra, di osare, ma è umile". La chiusura è dedicata all'Inter, ad oggi la rivale numero uno per lo Scudetto. Il rapporto fra società e tifosi non è idiliaco, soprattutto quando ci sono di mezzo gli arbitri o Calciopoli, ma Marchisio spera che l'arma del duello sia solo il pallone: "Voglio pensare che sarà una sfida appasionante, anche se nel nostro sembra che piacciano di più le polemiche..." http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/
  11. Serie A - 12^ Giornata - Andata - 10-11-2012 (ore 20:45) - Stadio Adriatico (Giovanni Cornacchia) — Pescara Arbitro: Luca Banti Verso Pescara-Juventus: Bianconeri chiamati a riscattare la sconfitta, occhi su Quintero Padroni di casa abruzzesi con Abbruscato e il gioiellino Quintero. I bianconeri riproporranno la stessa squadra sconfitta sabato scorso, in avanti Giovinco e Vucinic. Nov 9, 2012 PROBABILI FORMAZIONI PESCARAPerin Cosic, Capuano, Bocchetti Zanon, Nielsen, Cascione,Quintero, Modesto Abbruscato, Jonathas JUVENTUS Buffon Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Asamoah, Vucinic, Giovinco QUI PESCARA Blasi out per un mese, che deve rinunciare anche a Terlizzi e Crescenzi. Nel consueto 3-4-2-1 degli abruzzesi ci sarà Abbruscato come unica punta, in rete nell'ulima giornata, supportato da Weiss ed il giovane Quintero, su cui gli avversari di sabato hanno messo gli occhi da tempo. Zanon e Modesto sulle fasce di centrocampo, in difesa dovrebbe esserci Cosic. QUI JUVENTUS Il solito dilemma di Conte-Alessio-Carrera è quello dell'attacco: si riparte dalla coppia messa in mostra sabato scorso, vale a dire Vucinic-Giovinco, anche se è stato provato anche Quagliarella tra i titolari. Nessun cambio tra il terzetto titolare in difesa (Bonucci-Chiellini-Barzagli), a centrocampo out Pogba per motivi disciplinari. Lichtsteiner, reduce dalle polemiche interiste, riprenderà il suo posto sulla fascia destra. L'ULTIMA SFIDA 31/03/2007, Pescara-Juventus 0-1: Ci pensa Birindelli IL MOMENTO Per la prima volta dopo un anno e diversi mesi, la Juventus deve riscattare una sconfitta subita in campionato. Il banco di prova Nordsjælland, poco attendibile, ha riportato il sorriso allo Juventus Stadium: ora serve rivederlo anche nella massima serie, considerando il tallonamento dell'Inter appena dietro. Padroni di casa, invece, che hanno finalmente ritrovato la vittoria, salva-panchina, contro il Parma. I tre punti ottenuti contro i gialloblù, di fatto, erano attesi da tempo immemore, precisamente dal 30 settembre. PERCHE' GUARDARLA Perchè la Juventus deve rispondere alla sconfitta di sabato scorso: c'è pressione, ma Madama ha dimostrato di reggerla benissimo. Perchè deve dimostrare di non aver subito il colpo di un k.o dopo 50 partite disputate. Perchè ancora una votla sarà un banco di prova per gli attaccanti. Perchè Stroppa, nonostante la vittoria contro il Parma, rischia ancora la panchina: metterà in campo grinta e sudore per ottenre punti contro la capolista. Perchè i bianconeri osserveranno da vicino Quintero, obiettivo del prossimo mercato.

  13. Serie A Week 12 - 10-11-12 (20:45 p.m.) - Adriatico Stadium (Giovanni Cornacchia) — Pescara Referee: Luca Banti Pescara vs Juventus Match Preview The last time Juventus and Pescara met on the field was way back in the 2006-07 season in Serie B. Nov 9, 2012 Juventus are finally free from worrying about their unbeaten run. Without the unbeaten in 49 games record at the back of their minds they can now rotate the squad more often, starting with the game against newly promoted side Pescara. After a 3-1 loss to Inter Milan at home they recouped some of their lost morale and brushed aside Danish side Nordsjaelland in the Champions League mid-week. Team news Juventus are close to full strength in terms of numbers sparring Simone Pepe. Conte can chose to play the same side that played mid-week or rotate the squad and rest a few players for the home match against Lazio next week. To avoid any surprises, Juventus should field a strong lineup considering they have six days to prepare for their next fixture. Giovinco and Vucinic are expected to start in attack and the usual suspects like Pirlo, Vidal, Marchisio, and Asamoah should make up the midfield. Stephan Lichtsteiner should be back in the squad after being substituted against Inter Milan in the first half fearing a second yellow. New signing Mauricio Isla had a great game in mid-week but he might make way for Lichtsteiner. Pescara are struggling with form in Serie A and are grappling with injuries. Match Analysis Juventus won't change their signature 3-5-2 formation unless there is a storm - the size of hurricane Sandy- coming their way. It is interesting that Pescara want to fight fire with fire and start in a similar formation mirroring Juventus. Pirlo is Conte's right hand man on the pitch executing his plan to its minutest detail. If Pescara manages to stop Pirlo, Vidal and Marchisio then half the battle is won. Despite their leaky defence, a bold three man defence is an indication that Pescara will look to score early and switch to a five man defence later to protect the lead. Giovinco - the ant man - had an excellent game mid-week and he will be looking to continue his good run in the league. Pescara should be wary of those long balls coming in from the midfield and peg Vucinic away from the goal. Juve's other form of attack comes from the wings, with Asamoah tearing up the left wing every time he starts. Juve are poor in defending a counter attack and Pescara can only hope to score against the run of play.
