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 la dedica di Quagliarella per sua madre ricoverata in ospedale.

Parata di pene di Buffon!

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.

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/

E una settimana di pianti dei giornalisti che non vedranno il sorpasso dell'Inter sulla Juve.
