Serie A Week 12 - 10-11-12 (20:45 p.m.) 1 - 6 Arturo Vidal (9′) Fabio Quagliarella (22′) Emmanuel Cascione (25′) Kwadwo Asamoah (30′) Sebastian Giovinco (38′) Fabio Quagliarella (45′) Fabio Quagliarella (53′) Adriatico Stadium (Giovanni Cornacchia) — Pescara Referee: Luca Banti Attendance: 14000‎ Bianconeri demolish Delfini in seven goal thriller Nov 10, 2012 Juventus travelled to the Stadio Adriatico to take on Pescara in hopes of returning to winning ways following their first loss in 49 Serie A matches to Inter last weekend. The Bianconeri put on a dazzling performance much to the dismay of the home side, walloping the sorry Delfini 6-1 to claim a resounding three points. With less than a minute gone in the match, Sebastian Giovinco burst forward to the edge of the box and let fly with a snapshot that required a diving save from Mattia Perin at the far post. Soon after, the Atomic Ant went for goal once again, but dragged his left-footed effort just wide of the post. Juventus kept on the pressure early as Mauricio Isla put in a dangerous cross and Claudio Marchisio rocketed a sizzling drive over the crossbar from distance following a corner. After only 8 minutes, the Bianconeri took the lead. Marco Capuano gave the ball away in his own defensive third, and after some neat interplay Giovinco played Arturo Vidal in on goal for the Chilean international to slot coolly slot home. Pescara found it difficult to even bring the ball forward from their half as Juventus continued to put the Delfini under assault with a wicked half-volley that flew just past the post. The home side finally broke forward after being put under concerted pressure in the first 20 minutes, as Elvis Abbruscato found space to shoot from distance, but failed to hit the target. However, Juventus would find success soon after at the other end. Isla received a diagonal ball from Giovinco, who squared to Fabio Quagliarella for the enigmatic native of Naples to thump past Perin across the face of goal. Just when all looked lost for Pescara, the run of play entirely changed. A Giorgio Chiellini foul gave Juan Quintero a free-kick opportunity from a dangerous postion, and the promising young Colombian nearly pulled a goal back as he cracked a curling effort off of the upright. After the ensuing corner, Delfini captain Emmanuel Cascione put a header on goal from a Matti Nielsen cross; Gianluigi Buffon was able to get a touch, but the ball squirmed in the net off of the post to reduce to deficit to one. Minutes later, Marco Capuano touched on a corner with his head for Nielsen, and the Dane nearly equalized with a thumping strike the whistled just past the post. The furious pace of the match was sustained as neither side let up much to the delight of a capacity crowd at the Stadio Adriatico. On 30 minutes, an incredible moment of inspiration saw Quagliarella perform a delectable backheel flick to provide the perfect ball for Kwadwo Asamoah to finish with a clinically done bicycle-kick. Wide-open play saw the sides exchange opportunities over the next 10 minutes, but it was the Turin giants who would strike again. Quagilarella was once again the provider as he played Giovinco into the box for the diminutive Italian to finish yet another scoring chance to put the Old Lady comfortably up 4-1. Goals amazingly continued raining from the night sky as Vidal fed Quagliarella into the area for the Italian’s second of the day on the stroke of halftime. After the restart, Marchisio immediately almost piled on more misery for Pescara, but struck wide of the far post from the left side of the penalty area. At the other end, Quintero tried his hand from distance, but the shot was too central and Buffon claimed easily. Quagliarella completed his hat-trick on 53 minutes with an acrobatic finish in traffic from a corner kick as matters continued to get worse for the home side. Quintero tested Buffon with a searing effort from another free-kick, but the Italy legend beat it away to keep Juventus on top by a whopping five goals. On 75 minutes, Giovinco rounded Perin to go clear on goal, but scuffed his shot and found only the side-netting with the goal mouth gaping. Soon after, the Atomic Ant executed a tricky bit of skill in the box to beat Uros Cosic and shoot on the turn, but the Azzurrini number one smothered the low attempt. Pescara nearly grabbed a late consolation stoppages Cascione rose above the defense to head on goal, but Buffon was there to make the save as time soon after mercifully expired for the Delfini as Juventus got back on track in Serie A with a thumping 6-1 win. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

By firing six past Pescara, Antonio Conte's side extended their lead at the top of Serie A to four points over Inter Milan, their conquerors last week who travel to face Atalanta tomorrow night. Arturo Vidal opened the scoring and Kwadwo Asamoah and Sebastian Giovinco were also on target for the visitors, while Emmanuel Cascione scored Pescara's consolation. It did not take long to realise which way the game was heading as Juventus took the lead in the ninth minute having had Pescara on the back foot. Vidal was picked out by Giovinco and he became the first to beat Mattia Perin with a well-directed shot. Quagliarella missed a good chance just two minutes later, but he was just getting warmed up. In the 22nd minute, he scored his first and Juve's second, sweeping the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal from 15 yards after being set up by Mauricio Isla. A free-kick from Quintero hit the inside of the post with Gianluigi Buffon beaten in the 24th minute and, 60 seconds later, Cascione headed the ball in off the post to halve the deficit. Normal business was restored five minutes later, though, when Asamoah scored with a low overhead kick on the six-yard line after Quagliarella had lifted the ball up for him with his heel. Quagliarella then set up Giovinco for an unstoppable volley to make it 4-1 in the 37th minute as Juventus ran away with the game. Claudio Marchisio came to Buffon's rescue to make an acrobatic clearance off the goal line as Pescara almost grabbed a second, but Quagliarella put the result beyond any doubt on the stroke of half-time when he netted his fourth of the season with another accurate effort from just inside the penalty area. The best was yet to come from the Italy international, who completed his hat-trick in style in the 53rd minute. He met Andrea Pirlo's corner with an overhead kick into the top right-hand corner of Perin's goal, leaving the Pescara goalkeeper with no chance once again. He was soon replaced to a standing ovation from all corners of the Adriatico. Giovinco did not want to be outdone by his team-mate, but he only found the side-netting in the 76th minute having taken the ball past Perin, missing out on what might have been his second of the game, although Juventus had already more than done enough. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 12 - 10-11-12 (20:45 p.m.) 1 - 6 Arturo Vidal (9′) Fabio Quagliarella (22′) Emmanuel Cascione (25′) Kwadwo Asamoah (30′) Sebastian Giovinco (38′) Fabio Quagliarella (45′) Fabio Quagliarella (53′) Adriatico Stadium (Giovanni Cornacchia) — Pescara Referee: Luca Banti Attendance: 14000‎ Quagliarella nets treble as brilliant Bianconeri destroy Delfini The visitors romped to the most emphatic of wins - one which propels them four points clear - in what was their first league outing since losing their unbeaten record. Nov 10, 2012 Juventus got back to business in Serie A with an astounding 6-1 thrashing of Pescara at Stadio Adriatico on Saturday, with Fabio Quagliarella bagging a hat-trick. Their unbeaten leage run may have been ended at 49 games at the hands of Inter one week ago, but the Bianconeri showed no signs of letting that affect them with a scintillating performance that featured six goals of the highest quality. Artuo Vidal broke the deadlock after nine minutes with a well-struck finish, before Quagliarella made it 2-0 with an equally clinical strike from inside the area on 22 minutes. Pescara threatened to make a game of it when Emmanuel Cascione halved the deficit with his head three minutes later, but an acrobatic overhead kick from Kwadwo Asamoah on the half hour mark. Giovinco volleyed home a fourth Juventus goal after combining superbly with Quaglierella, who himself struck his second deadly finish just before half-time, and added the goal of the game with a magnificent volley straight from a corner early in the second half. The Bianconeri now move four points clear at the top of the table over nearest challengers Inter, who are in action Sunday away to Atalanta. Quagliarella was the only change from Juve's 4-0 win over FC Nordsjaelland in the Champions League during the week, the veteran striker replacing Alessandro Matri in the starting lineup. The visitors raced out of the blocks, and Giovinco forced the first opportunity of the game, calling Mattia Perin into action with a drive from the edge of the area after only two minutes. The diminutive midfielder would be far more decisive in the ninth minute, however, as he threaded a fine pass through to Vidal, who slotted coolly past Perin to send the visitors into a deserved lead. Juve continued to dominate and scored again in the 22nd minute. Mauricio Isla was the architect, sending in a fantastic ball that was met with a sublime finish from Quagliarella inside the box. Just when it looked like the visitors were ready to run away with the match, however, Pescara pulled one back. After Juan Quintero smacked a free kick agonisingly off the woodwork, the ball was worked towards Matti Lund Nielsen, who crossed for Cascione to angle a header past Gianluigi Buffon. Pescara were buoyed by the goal, but their enthusiasm was short-lived, as a flick from Quagliarella ricocheted into the path of Asamoah eight yards out, and the Ghanaian reacted wonderfully to send an overhead kick into the back of the net. Quagliarella then sent two good opportunities badly off target, before Cascione nearly repeated the trick with another header towards the far post that flew just wide. However, with seven minutes to go until half-time, Juve stormed further ahead. Giovinco linked up brilliantly with Quagliarella, playing a one-two and lashing a superb volley past the hapless Perin. The scoring wasn’t done for the first half, and Quagliarella, who was outstanding all game, latched onto a magnificent long pass from Vidal to drive another clinical finish home on the stroke of the interval. Quagliarella would complete his hat-trick eight minutes into the second half, meeting Pirlo’s corner with a gloriously acrobatic volley to rack up the Bianconeri’s sixth and final goal. The tempo died down shortly after, though Giovinco went close to his second with 11 minutes remaining after a beautiful shimmy freed him for a shot at the edge of the box that was sent just off target, moments after hitting the side netting after rounding Perin following a one-two with Nicklas Bendtner. There were no more goals to come, but the damage had been done in the first half, and Juve played out the remaining minutes in complete control to record an emphatic victory that puts events against Inter last week firmly in the rear-view mirrow. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 12 - 10-11-12 (20:45 p.m.) 1 - 6 Arturo Vidal (9′) Fabio Quagliarella (22′) Emmanuel Cascione (25′) Kwadwo Asamoah (30′) Sebastian Giovinco (38′) Fabio Quagliarella (45′) Fabio Quagliarella (53′) Adriatico Stadium (Giovanni Cornacchia) — Pescara Referee: Luca Banti Attendance: 14000‎ Pescara hit for six by super Juve! Juventus are certainly back on track after a 6-1 demolition job on Pescara, including a Fabio Quagliarella hat-trick and two overhead kicks. Nov 10, 2012 It is the Delfini’s worst ever Serie A home defeat, but Juve’s biggest away win remains a 7-0 at Pro Patria in 1950-51. The Bianconeri’s 49-match unbeaten run was ended by rivals Inter last week, but reacted midweek by thrashing Nordsjaelland 4-0 in the Champions League. Paul Pogba was dropped as punishment for turning up late twice to training, while Simone Pepe and Paolo De Ceglie were injured. Mauricio Isla again stepped in for Stephan Lichtsteiner, who was lucky not to see red against the Nerazzurri, while Mirko Vucinic was only fit for the bench. Pescara started Juan Fernando Quintero just days after he fainted in training on Tuesday, but Giuseppe Colucci, Manuele Blasi, Alessandro Crescenzi, Christian Terlizzi and Luca Savelloni were sidelined. In the opening 50 seconds Sebastian Giovinco had tested Mattia Perin on the goalkeeper’s 20th birthday with a fierce snapshot from the edge of the area. A corner came out to Claudio Marchisio for a screamer over the bar, while Kwadwo Asamoah’s volley flashed off target. The waves of Juve pressure eventually paid off with a goal at the ninth minute. Giovinco’s angled through ball found Arturo Vidal and he smashed the angled drive across Perin into the far bottom corner from 10 yards. The midfielder confirmed his status as their current top scorer this season, but Fabio Quagliarella also peeled away to create the space. Quagliarella drilled wide from the D and Andrea Barzagli got away with a slip when Jonathas was penalised for a push. Pescara broke out of their own half on a few occasions, but were punished again as Mauricio Isla rolled across for Quagliarella’s precise angled drive into the far bottom corner of the net. Pescara were still in the game and a Quintero free kick curled over the wall to smack against the upright. From the resulting corner, there were penalty appeals for a potential handling offence, but the move continued and Emmanuel Cascione’s diving header ricocheted in off the inside of the post where Gigi Buffon could not reach. It was nearly 2-2 soon after, as a corner found Matti Lund Nielsen’s powerful finish that whistled past the base of the far post. Juventus extended their lead with a sensational goal, as Quagliarella’s backheel flick was deflected into the air and Kwadwo Asamoah acrobatically turned it in from six yards with an overhead bicycle kick. Quagliarella hooked a Barzagli ball over the top with a perfect first touch, but the finish was wide. Bad news for Andrea Pirlo, who was booked and will be suspended for next week’s game with Lazio. It was Giovinco who added a fourth when he controlled a poor clearance and on the give-and-go with Quagliarella thumped a scorching low right-foot volley across Perin. Pescara thought they had scored a second with another Cascione header from a corner at the back post, but it was acrobatically cleared off the line by Marchisio with an overhead kick after Leonardo Bonucci had put Quintero’s set piece over the bar. Quagliarella completed his brace by springing the offside trap on a long ball and placing his snooker shot of an angled drive between the defender’s foot and Perin’s hand. It’s the first time Pescara have ever conceded five Serie A goals at the Stadio Adriatico and Quagliarella became the first Juve player to score a hat-trick away from home since Alessandro Del Piero in 2008. After the restart substitute Gianluca Caprari’s shot was deflected wide off Bonucci’s arm, but it was straight up against his body, so could not be considered a penalty. Buffon smothered a long-range Uros Cosic strike and parried a Jonathas snapshot. However, Quagliarella completed his hat-trick with another spectacular overhead kick from a corner, this time as he held off his marker from seven yards. Buffon palmed a Quintero free kick off the line at the near bottom corner. Coach Giovanni Stroppa was sent off for dissent when claiming Pescara deserved a penalty for Simone Padoin’s challenge on Vladimir Weiss. Giovinco threatened a seventh goal when he sprung the offside trap and went round the goalkeeper, but the angle was then too narrow and he was only able to clip the outside of the upright. The Atomic Ant also spun round his marker to test Perin and in stoppages Buffon just about scrambled a Cascione header off the line. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pescara: Perin; Cosic, Bocchetti, Capuano (Caprari 46); Zanon, Nielsen, Cascione, Quintero, Modesto; Abbruscato (Vukusic 65), Jonathas (Weiss 54) Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini (Marrone 65); Isla (Padoin 59), Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Asamoah; Giovinco, Quagliarella (Bendtner 68) Ref: Banti http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Bella Giovanni.

Era bravo anche al Milan. Meglio da calciatore che da allenatore.

Bravo Giovinco. Para il portiere abruzzese.

Incredibile Giovinco.

Ora é stato espulso.

Perin pirlotto

Pubblico pescarese sportivissimo ... fischia Quagliarella invece di applaudirlo per i tre goal segnati.

Bendtner per Quagliarella.

Modesto é davvero modesto.

Entra Marrone al suo posto.

Si scalda Bendtner.

Nov 10, 2012 There have been six goals and could’ve been several more, as Juventus lead Pescara 5-1 at half-time in a truly spectacular encounter.

Serie A Week 12 - 10-11-12 (20:45 p.m.) - Adriatico Stadium (Giovanni Cornacchia) — Pescara Referee: Luca Banti Marotta: 'Conte's decision on Pogba' Nov 10, 2012 Juventus director general Beppe Marotta reveals Antonio Conte “made the decision” to punish Paul Pogba by dropping him. The midfielder was left out of the squad for tonight’s trip to Pescara after he turned up late to two training sessions, but unusually the club confirmed the reason with a statement. “There are some rules to be respected and the leader of the group, who is Antonio Conte, decided on this course of action. It is not punishment, but rather educational for a young player like Pogba,” said Marotta. Pogba’s agent had bitterly criticised the club and suggested Conte was “unable” to handle a team at the highest level. “Juventus are perfectly capable of making their own decisions for their players. Raiola does not know the situation.” Lucio was expected to start tonight, but once again he is only on the bench. “He is an experienced player who came here to give us a hand in case of emergencies. He always trains professionally and has never hinted he wants a transfer. “Pescara are on paper an inferior side to Juventus, but the most difficulties usually come in these games. I am certain Conte has worked on the team psychologically and ensured we will not underestimate our opponents.” Marotta also insisted there are “no negotiations with Pescara” for Juan Fernando Quintero. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/
