Serie A Week 25 - 25-2-2012 (8:45 p.m.) - Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Allegri: Pirlo left Milan for Juventus because he needed a new challenge The Rossoneri boss has defended the decision to let go of the midfielder last summer, as he feels the Italy international had lost his motivation at San Siro. Feb 21, 2012 AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri believes that the Rossoneri made the right choice to let go of influential midfielder Andrea Pirlo in the summer of 2011. The 32-year-old left the reigning Serie A champions for rivals Juventus on a Bosman move and has since developed into a key player in midfield for the Old Lady. Allegri, however, does not have any regrets as he feels the playmaker lacked motivation at Milan and needed a new challenge. "He's an amazing player and he's doing very well at Juventus. Often in life after many years you need a change," Allegri said to RTL 102.5. "In Turin he has found new motivation, which had decreased after 10 at Milan. But there's no discussing his quality." http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 25 - 25-2-2012 (8:45 p.m.) - Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Giuseppe Marotta claims Milan are favourites for Serie A showdown on Saturday Juventus director has tried to take some of the pressure off his side, while stating that Milan will pose a big threat, even if Zlatan Ibrahimovic misses the match. Feb 20, 2012 Juventus director Giuseppe Marotta thinks that AC Milan are favourites for Saturday's match between the two clubs at San Siro. The Bianconeri will be hoping to reclaim top spot in the Serie A table as they are one point below the Rossoneri, with a game in hand. "Milan are the favourites for the match," Marotta told reporters. "They are the reigning league champions and one of the eight best teams in Europe." Zlatan Ibrahimovic has served the first two games of his three-match suspension for slapping Napoli's Salvatore Aronica in the face but could feature in the crunch clash if Milan win their appeal. But Marotta is not worried even if the Sweden international is cleared to play. "Milan have shown that they are strong with or without Ibrahimovic," he added. "We will face a very strong opponent, whether he plays or not. "A prediction for Milan's appeal? That does not concern us." http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 25 - 25-2-2012 (8:45 p.m.) - Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Juventus star Pirlo: We hope that Ibrahimovic will be available for Milan on Saturday The Italian playmaker is anticipating the upcoming match against his former team, and hopes that the powerful Swede will have his three-game ban reduced so that he can play. Feb 20, 2012 Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo hopes that AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be available for Saturday's Serie A encounter between the two title contenders. The Sweden international received a red card in his side's scoreless draw against Napoli earlier this month, and was consequently handed a three-game suspension. However, Ibrahimovic opted to appeal his ban, with a final decision to be made this Thursday, and his former Rossoneri team-mate wants the striker to feature for the opposition. "We hope that Ibra will be there on Saturday," Pirlo was quoted as saying by La Stampa. Ibrahimovic has already missed two matches due to his suspension and will be available for Saturday's encounter at San Siro if his ban is reduced by one game. The 30-year-old Swede has been a key figure at Milan this season, and has already netted 15 Serie A goals. http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 25 - 25-2-2012 (8:45 p.m.) - Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Tagliavento AC Milan & Juventus set up the biggest league game in Europe this season The victories for the two giants this weekend have set up Saturday's fixture at San Siro perfectly, with the clash set to be bigger than anything else on offer on the continent. Feb 20, 2012 Like card sharps raising chip for chip, sprinters matching each other stride for stride, or heavyweights going blow for blow, Juventus and AC Milan continued their magnificent duel this weekend with 3-1 victories that served only to make Saturday’s huge clash between the pair at San Siro an even more anticipated event. Make no mistake about it, we are five days away from the biggest game in any league this season. With the Clasico contests having become so frequent they’ve almost become tiresome, and Real Madrid now bossing the Primera Liga title race by 10 points, the remaining clash against Barcelona at Camp Nou is less important than any the Spanish giants have contested in recent times. Over in England, the Manchester pairing of City and United are separated by only two points right now, but one gets the feeling that – like Sonic v Doctor Robotnik when the guy in blue has a stack of gold rings and plenty of extra lives – Roberto Mancini’s side need simply to click into gear once more to decide the title in their favour. Instead in Italy, we have a spectacular race between the two most decorated clubs in the land, which has become increasingly nip-and-tuck over the last four months. Since Milan overcame a poor start to claim a spectacular 4-3 come-from-behind win at Lecce in October, not once have the Bianconeri and Rossoneri finished a round more than two points apart. For 18 weeks, we have had magnificent tussles which have meant bragging rights going back and forth in terms of the league leadership, and this weekend gave us the perfect platform ahead of the titanic battle to come on Saturday. Juve took to the field first, losing an early goal to Catania’s Pablo Barrientos only to see ex-Milan man Andrea Pirlo take over proceedings. The midfield maestro turned in his very best performance yet in a season which has had many wondering why the Rossoneri let him go in the first place. He equalised with his first goal in black and white – well, shocking pink! – and went on from there to set up the win. After Juve-owned loanee Marco Motta’s ridiculous foul on Paolo De Ceglie when already having seen yellow, it seemed only a matter of time before the home side would break down the Sicilian resistance. First, Pirlo's free-kick from the right was turned home by the excellent Giorgio Chiellini, then a perfectly weighted pass between two defenders sent in Fabio Quagliarella for the clincher. Pirlo is clearly in a fantastic frame of mind heading back to San Siro. He went close on more than one occasion against Parma in midweek too, and in a campaign during which he has been Juve’s undoubted star – maybe even a Player of the Year candidate – his form has only got better with his return to Lombardy coming into view. Milan’s response was just as powerful. Returning to the same Stadio Dino Manuzzi where they suffered a humiliating 2-0 defeat at the beginning of last season, they clearly weren’t in the mood to allow a second slip-up against Cesena. Dominating from minute one, it seemed only a matter of time before they tore the Seahorses apart on the scoresheet as they had on the run of play. Debutant Sulley Muntari should arguably have had a goal inside five minutes, while Urby Emanuelson and Massimo Ambrosini also had good chances. Muntari eventually did get on the scoresheet when turning home the loose ball after Francesco Antonioli had spilt Thiago Silva’s free kick. Emanuelson then doubled the lead within two minutes with a superb early strike which found the net off the inside of the post. Robinho’s neat finish completed the rout, with Daniel Pudil’s excellent volley never looking much more than a consolation thanks in part to a misfiring strikeforce of Adrian Mutu and Vincenzo Iaquinta showing a rustiness in front of goal which they will need to address if the Emilia-Romagna side are going to stay up this season. But the parity on the scoresheet between Juve and Milan this weekend only served to highlight how tight things are between the two heading into Saturday night. The Old Lady’s game in hand at Bologna on March 7 is looking like an increasingly important fixture, but with Antonio Conte’s outfit having drawn 10 fixtures, there is a feeling that they can’t rest on their laurels. No, they need to beat the Rossoneri for a third time this season in order to give themselves the leadership once more, and from there need to demonstrate that they can cope with the pressure of leading from the front. Milan, meanwhile, need to pick up the three points that will finally see a modicum of breathing space developed between the two on the league ladder in order to negate the significance of the game in hand. There has been no more important game between the two most decorated clubs on the peninsula post-Calciopoli, and there will be no more vital a clash in any European league this term. Book the night off on Saturday, because this is one game nobody can afford to miss. http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 25 - 25-2-2012 (8:45 p.m.) - Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Tagliavento 'Juve important but not essential' Feb 20, 2012 Massimiliano Allegri has backtracked slightly on the importance placed on Week 25’s top-of-the-table clash with Juventus. “It’s important, but not essential.” The Rossoneri will meet Antonio Conte’s Bianconeri a point and a place above them in Serie A. Whilst at the weekend he described the clash between the Division’s top two sides as ‘likely to decide the title race’, Allegri had somewhat downgraded the game’s importance by Monday afternoon. “The challenge on Saturday is very important, but it is not essential,” the Coach told radio station RTL 102.5 on Monday. “The controversy? I believe it is part of the game, it is normal for the teams at the top.” The latter comment was in reference to Juve’s recent complaints over the quality of refereeing. Meanwhile, Allegri’s side will welcome back Andrea Pirlo to San Siro. The playmaker spent a decade with the Rossoneri, but left last summer on a Bosman to join Juve, who he has been in excellent form for recently. “He’s an extraordinary player. In Turin he has found a new motivation and certainly those 10 years at Milan were not a failure. His quality is not up for debate.” Nor too, according to Allegri, is Alexandre Pato’s quality. “Pato has not been a disappointment, this is absolutely not true. Unfortunately he has suffered several injuries in the last two years. “Now he is better, on Sunday I rested him as a precaution. He’s a great professional and on Saturday he will be available again to the team.” Milan will find out on Thursday if Pato will be partnered in attack with Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the club’s appeal to reduce his three game ban to two is heard. “Ibra is a good guy, a generous guy. It shows in his way of thinking, playing and especially in the fact that he is always at the forefront in defence of everything and everyone. I think he is an important player, who is doing well at Milan and fortunately arrived when I arrived.” http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 25 - 25-2-2012 (8:45 p.m.) - Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Marotta: Juve are the underdogs Feb 20, 2012 Milan will be favourites in Saturday’s Scudetto showdown with Juventus, says Bianconeri official Beppe Marotta. The two teams meet at the San Siro with the Rossoneri currently sitting at the top of the table thanks to a one-point lead over the Old Lady – who have a game in hand. “Milan will start the tie as favourites,” director general Marotta stated on Monday afternoon. “They are the reigning Italian champions and are one of the eight strongest sides in the European game. “Nevertheless, we are proud of what we have managed to achieve in these years in order to become competitive again.” As it stands, Milan are set to be without Zlatan Ibrahimovic given that he was banned for three Serie A games. However, the San Siro giants have appealed against his suspension and he could be back in time for the weekend. “I won’t try to predict whether Ibrahimovic will be eligible or not,” Marotta continued. “I haven’t seen the appeal documents so I can’t comment on it.” http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 25 - 25-2-2012 (8:45 p.m.) - Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Allegri: 'Decisive Milan-Juve' Feb 19, 2012 Massimiliano Allegri is back on top of the table after winning in Cesena and admits next week’s Milan-Juventus “may well decide the title.” The Rossoneri’s 3-1 victory at the Stadio Manuzzi this afternoon allowed them to leapfrog Juve in the leadership role, although the Bianconeri have a game in hand. “We’re happy to be up there, even with an extra match played. Now we have a whole week to prepare for Saturday’s big clash and I am certain we’ll put in a great performance,” said the Coach. Zlatan Ibrahimovic sat out the second in his three-match ban, but Milan have lodged an appeal. “If Ibra is available, then he will play against Juventus. If he isn’t, then we have others who can do well. All we can do is wait for the result of the appeals process. “On Saturday it will be a fascinating encounter that may well decide the title.” Allegri was not entirely content with today’s 3-1 result in Cesena, even if Sulley Ali Muntari scored on his debut. “The lads put in a great performance up until the third goal, then we allowed Cesena too much of the initiative and sat back, as we just stopped running in attack. “Urby Emanuelson has great technique and does not often give the ball away. Other than the goal, Muntari also played well and is highly motivated, as he wants to forget the recent negative spell of his career.” http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 25 - 25-2-2012 (8:45 p.m.) - Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Tagliavento AC Milan coach Allegri: Juventus match could be decisive in title race The Rossoneri boss was quite pleased with his side's victory over Cesena and is eagerly anticipating next weekend's game against the Turin outfit. Feb 19, 2012 AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri believes that next weekend's Serie A match against Juventus could prove to be decisive in the title race. The Rossoneri beat Cesena 3-1 on Sunday to leapfrog Juventus in the league table and Allegri is confident that his side will put in a strong performance in the encounter at San Siro on Saturday. "We are happy to be top of the table again, even if we have played one more game than Juventus. Next weekend's encounter could be decisive and I expect it to be a fascinating match," Allegri said during a press conference. "We have an entire week to prepare for the big game and I am confident that we will put in a great performance. If Ibrahimovic is available, he will play. If not, we will find another solution." Allegri then took the time to reflect on his side's away win over Cesena and was quite pleased with the final result. "The boys put in a great performance right until the third goal. We then allowed them too much space for a while. The most important thing is that we won though." Milan have collected 50 points from 24 encounters and hold a one-point lead over Juventus. http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 25 - 25-2-2012 (8:45 p.m.) - Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Tagliavento AC Milan's Kevin-Prince Boateng in doubt for Juventus clash with new thigh injury The 24-year-old is a major worry for Saturday's crunch match against the Bianconeri after sustaining another medical problem in the club's midweek Champions League victory. Feb 19, 2012 AC Milan have announced that Kevin-Prince Boateng will have to spend some more time on the sidelines after sustaining a new thigh injury. The versatile midfielder had returned from a four-week lay-off in Milan's 4-0 Champions League victory against Arsenal in midweek, scoring the club's first goal with a stunning volley. However, Boateng, who was replaced in the second half, will have to return to the club's infirmary after picking up a new muscular problem against the Gunners. "Milan would like to announce that after the match against Arsenal, Kevin-Prince Boateng was diagnosed with a muscular strain in his left thigh," a club statement read. "In the next few days a prognosis will be established after further medical tests are conducted." Meanwhile, Il Corriere dello Sport claims that the Ghana international, who has been left out of the squad for the match at Cesena on Sunday, is doubtful for Saturday's visit of Juventus as he may have to spend at least two weeks on the sidelines. http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 25 - 25-2-2012 (8:45 p.m.) - Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Andrea Pirlo prepares for emotional return to AC Milan The former Rossoneri stalwart acknowledges that he will be feeling the occasion when he returns with Juventus to San Siro, the stadium where he spent 10 years of his career. Feb 19, 2012 Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo admits that it will be emotional when he steps onto the San Siro pitch against Milan for the first time with his new club. The 32-year-old spent 10 seasons with the Rossoneri before moving to the Turin outfit as a free agent last summer. "I'll inevitably feel particular emotions," the Italy international, who won two Scudettos on his way to making 284 appearances for Milan, told Juve's official website. "It will be an important game which will see two excellent sides face each other. If the strongest players are involved, the match will be more interesting." The World Cup winner will be bringing his best form into the game, having scored a goal and set up another two in his side's 3-1 Serie A comeback against Catania on Saturday. "It was fundamental," Pirlo said of his performance at Juventus Stadium, "Because we were one goal behind and we needed to recover. "We managed to do it very soon, and then we controlled the game. It was the same in our previous encounters as well [goalless draws with Parma and Siena], but unfortunately we failed to net in those games.” The win saw Juventus return to the summit of Serie A, two points above second-placed Milan ahead of the two sides' climactic meeting on February 25. http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 25 - 25-2-2012 (8:45 p.m.) - Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) Stadium - Milan Referee: Paolo Tagliavento Ibrahimovic: AC Milan are missing an extra quality, but Juventus have a big advantage by only playing once a week In an exclusive interview with Goal.com, the Sweden international explained that an ability to pick up points when playing badly has eluded the Rossoneri this term. Feb 19, 2012 Zlatan Ibrahimovic believes that there is an intangible quality missing from AC Milan this season, which has resulted in them being unable to pull away from a Juventus side who, he claims, are playing with a significant advantage. Milan are currently two points off the pace in Serie A under Massimiliano Allegri, a man who Ibrahimovic says that he ranks very highly as a coach, with the unbeaten Bianconeri's 3-1 win over Catania on Saturday having once again deposed the San Siro outfit as leaders. And, in an exclusive interview with Goal.com, the 30-year-old said that there is one key difference between this season and last term's successful title charge. "I think when we had been playing badly last year, we still got the points we needed. This year, when we have played badly we have been losing those games, and I think that is also a quality, that when you play bad you still get a point or even win," said Ibrahimovic. "But this year has been less like that. We have lost many important points when we have played badly. We have also had to go through some very strange injuries, so it’s a combination, but it’s in the moment also. One moment you’re here, one moment you’re there, but the most important thing is to keep the level very high all season and I think that is what will make a team win." The giant Swede, who is set to miss next Saturday's crucial clash between the top two through suspension, believes that there is something which remains in Juve's favour. "I think Juventus are doing very well, but we shouldn’t forget that they play one game a week, and we play three," he observed. "It’s a big difference." However, Ibrahimovic remains very happy with Milan's progress, and that of coach Allegri, who he says that he ranks among the best he's ever worked with despite some question marks in the media recently due to the Rossoneri's wavering form. "If you think of him like a book, he is at the beginning because he has a lot of pages in front of him to fill up," said the former Barcelona star. "He has won the league, he has won the Supercoppa, but I think he’s at the beginning of his career as a coach with a big team. He is still in a learning phase and is still to develop, but still I rank him very high because you have to be a very good coach to win the league. "I heard Jose Mourinho say it’s better to be a coach in England than in Italy because in England you can be a coach for 20 years without winning anything, but in Italy you can be a coach for three months without winning and you are out. So, I think he is questioned every day depending on the result on a Sunday or Wednesday." http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

[ Serie A ] Juventus - Catania 3-1
Socrates ha risposto al topic di Morpheus © in Stagione 2011/2012
Serie A - 5^ Giornata - Ritorno - 18-2-2012 (ore 20:45) 3 - 1 Pablo César Barrientos (4′) Andrea Pirlo (22′) Giorgio Chiellini (74′) Fabio Quagliarella (81′) Juventus Stadium - Torino Arbitro: Christian Brighi Spettatori: 31000 Serie A - Catania rimontato, la Juventus torna prima Nell'anticipo del sabato, i bianconeri si impongono per 3-1 ma se la vedono brutta nel primo tempo, quando Barrientos porta avanti gli etnei dopo soli 4'. Pirlo pareggia con una magia su punizione alla mezzora, Chiellini mette la freccia e Quagliarella chiude. Espulso Motta. Eurosport - Sabato, 18 febbraio 2012 La sofferenza, questa volta, è stata premiata. La Juventus batte 3-1 il Catania nell'anticipo del sabato e torna in vetta alla classifica anche se forse per una notte sola. Quel che conta, però, è che i bianconeri siano tornati a vincere, impresa che contro Siena e Parma non era riuscita. Eppure, non è stato affatto un compito semplice, specie se si considera che i rossazzurri sono passati in vantaggio dopo 4' con Barrientos e che sino al 75' erano in parità nonostante l'espulsione del pessimo ex Marco Motta. Poi, però, ci hanno pensato Andrea Pirlo, Giorgio Chiellini e Fabio Quagliarella. E, adesso, la Vecchia Signora può tornare a sorridere. BORRIELLO TITOLARE, SPOLLI IN PANCA - Antonio Conte rivoluziona centrocampo e attacco dopo il pareggio di Parma. In prima linea fa il debutto dal primo minuto Borriello in coppia con Quagliarella, mentre a centrocampo Lichtsteiner e Pepe vanno in panchina lasciando il posto a Padoin e Giaccherini. Il titolare a sinistra, poi, è De Ceglie e non Estigarribia che va in tribuna. Panchina anche per Del Piero, Vucinic e Matri. Vincenzo Montella passa nuovamente al 4-3-3 e propone gli ex Motta e Legrottaglie dal primo minuto in difesa. Conferme per il centrocampo titolare con Lodi in regia e il duo Almiron-Izco sugli esterni, mentre in attacco c'è il trio all'insegna della rapidità con Gomez e Barrientos a supproto di Bergessio. Spolli getta la spugna poco prima della partita e va in panchina lasciando il posto a Bellusci. SHOW A TORINO: PIRLO RISPONDE A BARRIENTOS - Un primo tempo mozzafiato, senza soluzioni di sosta e con due squadre che continuano a rispondere colpo su colpo. La Vecchia Signora squilla per prima con Marchisio, che di testa mette a lato dopo nemmeno un minuto. Ma il primo gol è di Barrientos, che al 4' gela lo Juventus Stadium con un sinistro a giro dal limite che si infila all'incrocio battendo Buffon, già costretto al salvataggio su una conclusione precedente di Almiron. La partita si fa subito vibrante. I padroni di casa ci mettono un po' per reagire, ma dal quarto d'ora in avanti premono a più non posso sino a quando Pirlo si procura una punizione dal limite (ingenuo Bergessio). A calciare va lui stesso ed è 1-1, con una splendida soluzione a giro imprendibile per Kosicky (22', suo primo gol da juventino). Se possibile, il match diventa ancora più divertente. Ma di gol non se ne vedono, perché al 30' Quagliarella prende una traversa clamorosa dal limite e lo stesso fa Bergessio due minuti dopo. Conte inverte Giaccherini e Marchisio in mediana, mentre Montella cambia tutto passando al 3-5-2. La Juventus preme ancora di più, però si va all'intervallo sul risultato di 1-1. MOTTA ESPULSO, CI PENSANO CHIELLINI E QUAGLIARELLA - La ripresa è tutta un'altra partita, meno spettacolare, più aggressiva. Il Catania si chiude a riccio senza più ripartire, con Montella che al 50' toglie Barrientos per mettere Biagianti e dieci minuti dopo toglie anche Lodi per Spolli. La Juventus attacca a più non posso senza trovare spazi. Le occasioni da gol diminuiscono e Conte prova a smuovere lo stallo con Pepe al posto di Padoin. La mossa decisiva, però, è di uno degli ex in campo, Motta, che nel giro di un quarto d'ora si fa espellere nel più ingenuo dei modi, con due fallacci vistosissimi a centrocampo. Al 65', in sostanza, il Catania resta in dieci. Conte mette anche Vucinic, passa al 3-4-3 e, nonostante Buffon salvi il risultato su Almiron (66'), la Juventus porta a casa la partita. Decisive, anche in questo caso, due topiche clamorose di Kosicky. Il portiere etneo al 74' esce a vuoto su una punizione di Pirlo dalla destra e regala a Chiellini la palla del 2-1. Copione simile all'81', quando rinvia sul piede del regista bianconero, che serve a Quagliarella il secondo assist della propria serata e 3-1 annesso. Finisce qui. Con l'unica appendice tragicomica dell'esultanza juventina al terzo gol, con Storari che si butta nella mischia di giocatori vicino alla bandierina del corner e ferisce involontariamente sia Quagliarella che Pepe. Ma, questa volta, il finale è davvero dolcissimo per la Juventus. LA VECCHIA SIGNORA SI RIMETTE IN MARCIA - Dopo due pareggi consecutivi e quasi 200' senza gol segnati, la Juventus si sblocca e riparte. Merito di un Pirlo in formato deluxe, autore di una splendida rete e anche di due assist. Ma la sensazione è che i problemi dalla trequarti in avanti non siano risolti del tutto. Che cosa sarebbe successo se Motta non avesse commesso quella sciocchezza? Con il Catania in parità numerica la Juventus avrebbe fatto molta più fatica a creare occasioni da gol, come sempre accade quando l'avversario di turno si chiude sulla difensiva. Ma tant'è. Gli uomini di Conte tornano a vincere e superano temporaneamente il Milan salendo a quota 49 (+2). Quello che ci voleva per mettere un pizzico di pressione sull'avversario diretto e presentarsi nel migliore dei modi allo scontro in programma a San Siro sabato prossimo. Da imbattuta dopo 23 partite. Una cosa che non le era mai accaduta nella propria storia. Non male. Mattia Fontana - Eurosport Juventus - Catania 3-1 -
