Romeo‎ Attendance: 42000‎ Claudio Marchisio: We have to be more clinical in front of goal The Italy international has voiced his opinion that the Turin giants must improve their finishing if they are to be successful this season following their tie versus Genoa. Oct 23, 2011 Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio has stressed that the Turin side will have to be more clinical in front of goal if they are to fight for the title this term. The Serie A table toppers went ahead twice in their 2-2 home draw versus Genoa on Saturday, but they failed to put the match to bed before Andrea Caracciolo scored an 85th minute equaliser to snatch a share of the spoils. And Marchisio insists that they have to learn to finish games off when they are in the lead. "We can't go in front and then sit back hoping that the game will come to an end, like we did this evening. Instead we need to be more clinical and put the game beyond doubt," he was quoted as saying on the club's official website. "We had our opportunities to score: I

Romeo‎ Attendance: 42000‎ I threatened to cut bonuses for my Genoa players & they drew with Juventus - Alberto Malesani A warning to get things right or forget about financial benefits saw instant change against Turin giants as the former Bologna man reveals how he motivated his charges. Oct 23, 2011 Genoa coach Alberto Malesani believes his side reacted to firm demands as they came from behind twice to draw 2-2 with Juventus in Serie A on Saturday. The outspoken boss said his men stood up and listened after he grilled them for their recent less-than-perfect performances. Malesani's side had lost twice and drawn once prior to their match at Juventus, and things looked bleak following Alessandro Matri's double for the home side. But goals from Marco Rossi and Andrea Caracciolo saw the Liguria-based outfit steal an unlikely point from their trip to Turin. "I ensured my players took note and I told the president there would be changes. I had become annoyed [with the poor form] and said there would be no bonuses for anyone. Look what happened ... the players gave 100 per cent the whole game," Malesani is quoted as saying by La Repubblica. "I did not look at what Juventus were doing, but I focused on ourselves. "We have done good things of late, but just some luck was missing from our performances." The result lifted Genoa to 9th place in the league ahead of their match on Wednesday against Roma. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/2011-2012/regular-season/

Romeo‎ Attendance: 42000‎ Antonio Conte rues dropped points against Genoa The 42-year-old has expressed his regret at seeing his side trudge off the pitch with a draw despite being in the lead twice, but insists they are still under development. Oct 22, 2011 Juventus coach Antonio Conte has declared his disappointment after overseeing a 2-2 draw against Genoa in their Serie A clash on Saturday. The Old Lady looked to be in control of the encounter, but were forced to settle for just the solitary point, as they blew their advantage twice to give Alberto Malesani's side a share of the spoils late on. Following the result, Conte was content with his side's display overall, but admits that they underestimated their opponents and remain on a learning curve as the season wears thin. "We faced a Genoa side with genuine quality, but we still created a lot, even if we suffered a bit more than in other games," the coach was quoted as saying after the game by La giornalaccio rosa dello Sport. "Towards the end, the match lost its spark with us still in the lead, and we had to be remain very attentive. I would rather lose the game and win the others beforehand than to earn four draws, but the road is long for us and we must continue to grow. Do not forget where we came from." Conte then turned to the topic of tactical changes throughout the match, where he reflected on his decision to replace Marcelo Estigarribia with Michele Pazienza near the death. "The entrance of Pazienza slowed down the opponents, but it meant that we hit some long balls upfield near the end," said the ex-Siena boss. "However, we are where we had to be and we must grow by the day. We will continue on our way, and we have a lot of work to do. You cannot win overnight, but we definitely lost two points." Juventus remain on top of the Serie A standings following a fourth draw in five games, but will now await the results of their league rivals on Sunday. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/2011-2012/regular-season/

Romeo‎ Attendance: 42000‎ Missed opportunity for Juve Oct 22, 2011 Juventus missed the opportunity to open up a three-point lead at the top of Serie A as they were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Genoa tonight. Juve were pegged back twice by the Rossoblu, who missed two good chances to win the game late on. Alessandro Matri opened the scoring in the sixth minute before Marco Rossi levelled for the visitors. Matri was on target again in the 58th minute, but Andrea Caracciolo replied five minutes from time and went close to stealing all three points in stoppage time. The league leaders got off to a flying start, with Matri putting them ahead in the sixth minute with a set-piece from the training ground. A corner from the right was pulled back to Claudio Marchisio, whose low shot was intentionally diverted in by Matri from close range. Genoa levelled in the 31st minute with Rossi heading in from a pinpoint cross from the lively Alexander Merkel. A mistake by Miguel Veloso in the 41st minute almost led to a second Juve goal but Mirko Vucinic, who intercepted the Portuguese midfielder's weak pass across the field, shot straight at Sebastien Frey. Matri had the ball in the back of the net in the 50th minute, but Vucinic had delayed his pass too long and the Italy striker had drifted offside. Five minutes later, Merkel's deliberate touch from a free-kick sent the ball just inches wide of the far post before Giorgio Chiellini missed the post by the same margin with a header at the other end. Matri then scored the second, sliding the ball into the bottom corner after Vucinic's pass had been dummied expertly by Pirlo to make room for his team-mate near the penalty spot. Genoa responded like they did in the first half and Merkel, their best player on the day, hit the crossbar with a header from Rossi's cross in the 63rd minute. Juve seemed to ease up and try to play down the clock without really taking any risks, but Genoa needed just a glimpse of a chance to level five minutes from time. Juraj Kucka headed the ball down to Caracciolo, who beat Marco Storari to the ball near the post and lifted it over the Juve goalkeeper and into the back of the net. Jorquera and Caracciolo had excellent chances to win it for the Rossoblu in stoppage time and in the end it was Juve who would have been happier to hear the final whistle http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/2011-2012/regular-season/

Serie A Week 8 - 22/10/2011 (08:45 p.m.) 2 - 2 Alessandro Matri (6') Marco Rossi (31') Alessandro Matri (58') Andrea Caracciolo (85') Juventus Arena - Turin Referee: A. Romeo‎ Attendance: 42000‎ Genoa snatch Juve point Alessandro Matri twice put Juventus in front, but Andrea Caracciolo's late goal snatched Genoa's 2-2 draw in Turin.. Oct 22, 2011 The Bianconeri had to do without Gigi Buffon, Arturo Vidal and Emanuele Giaccherini, so Coach Antonio Conte made some changes. He re-introduced the 4-2-4 system with Mirko Vucinic, Alessandro Matri, Simone Pepe and Marcelo Estigarribia leading the way. Marco Storari had his first appearance of the campaign. Genoa had Ze Eduardo injured and Kakha Kaladze starting a four-match ban for insulting the referee, so Emiliano Moretti stepped in. Alexander Merkel and Bosko Jankovic were the surprise starters behind Rodrigo Palacio. Genoa had lost their last five consecutive visits to Turin, not even picking up a point since their 1-1 in December 1994. Juventus took the lead with their first real chance at the sixth minute. Andrea Pirlo pulled a cross to the edge of the box for Claudio Marchisio's effort, which Matri toe-poked to redirect past a stunned Sebastien Frey. Genoa also threatened from a corner, as it came to Dario Dainelli at the back post, but he couldn't get enough power on to the finish and Storari smothered. A free kick was touched on for Jankovic, whose effort clipped the edge of the defensive wall. Matri went on a powerful run and forced a difficult save out of Frey at the near post. From that corner, Giorgio Chiellini's free header was off target. Genoa did draw level on the half-hour mark with captain Marco Rossi. Merkel got down the left and whipped a cross to the back post for Rossi's header down across the goalkeeper to equalise. Simone Pepe drifted into the centre and chested down a Pirlo pass, but then slipped at the crucial moment. There was a double howler on 41 minutes, as Genoa gave the ball away in midfield with a pass straight to Mirko Vucinic, but then the Juventus striker hammered it into Frey's body in a one-on-one. Giandomenico Mesto attempted a spectacular overhead kick that was off target from another Merkel cross. Straight after the restart Dario Dainelli was booked after two late tackles during the same move to stop Vucinic going down the left flank. The Pirlo free kick was not dealt with and Andrea Barzagli eventually poked it into Frey's arms. Matri put the ball in the back of the net following a lovely give-and-go with Vucinic, but was offside. Matri and Pepe combined down the right and the ex-Cagliari striker's angled drive stung Frey's palms at the near post. Genoa went extremely close, as a free kick was flicked by Merkel with the outside of his right foot and only skimmed the woodwork in what would've been a sensational goal. Pirlo's corner found Chiellini for another free header inches over the bar. Juve wasted so many chances to restore their lead, but did so moments later with Matri. Pirlo's dummy allowed a Vucinic angled pass through for Matri on the penalty spot, who placed it past Frey with the inside of his left foot. However, Genoa went incredibly close to drawing level for the second time on 63 minutes. Rossi's cross from the right found Merkel for a cushioned header that thumped the crossbar with Storari well beaten. Vucinic pounced on a poor pass to rush towards goal, only to fire well wide. Chiellini's cross was a little too high for Matri in the centre, then the striker aimed a chip over the bar. Just as Juventus seemed to be cruising towards victory, substitute Andrea Caracciolo snatched an equaliser. Juraj Kucka nodded down a cross-field pass that Caracciolo flicked round both Leonardo Bonucci and Storari at the near post. Mesto flashed an angled pass across the face of goal with Merkel just a little too late to get the tap-in. Conte threw on Alessandro Del Piero for the six minutes of injury time in Turin, but it was wide open and Pirlo cleared a dangerous Miguel Veloso corner at the near stick. Storari had to fly in order to palm an absolute screamer from Cristobal Jorquera out for a corner. From that set play, Caracciolo flicked over the bar with his heel from six yards. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juventus: Storari; Chiellini, Barzagli, Bonucci, Lichtsteiner; Marchisio, Pirlo; Pepe (Del Piero 89), Matri, Vucinic (Krasic 83), Estigarribia (Pazienza 67) Genoa: Frey; Mesto, Dainelli, Moretti, Antonelli; Rossi (Jorquera 81), Seymour (Kucka 71), Veloso; Merkel; Jankovic (Caracciolo 62), Palacio Ref: Romeo http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/2011-2012/regular-season/

Oct 22, 2011 A late strike from Andrea Caracciolo earned Genoa a 2-2 draw in Turin after Juventus looked on course for all three points following a brace from Alessandro Matri either side of a Marco Rossi header. The league leaders started brightly with Mirko Vucinic linking up well with strike partner Matri, but the latter
