Purtroppo quando sei sotto in classifica devi vincere le tue partite e sperare (o gufare) nelle perdite di punti degli avversari. Non ci sono alternative. Per fortuna abbiamo lo scontro diretto con i felsinei sebbene sará a casa loro.

Io credo che oggi non siano importanti i nomi ma piuttosto le motivazioni. Tudor non puó fare miracoli ma puó e deve spingere i giocatori (che sono gli stessi di Motta) a dare il massimo.

In effetti, io mi aspettavo Weah e McKennie sulle fasce.

Tudor li ha visti in allenamento. Se sono motivati possono battere il Genoa.

Forse Kelly é il piú abituato a giocare a tre in difesa?

FORZA IGOR!

Juventus vs Genoa: Preview and Prediction ............ Igor Tudor has been installed as the new manager at Juventus, and the former Marseille and Lazio boss will hope to kick-start his reign with a win on home soil as they host Genoa. In terms of the top four race, the Bianconeri are only a point shy of fourth-placed Bologna, as a good run of games will ensure they can finish in Champions League places, which until two weeks ago looked like theirs to lose. ............ Vieira might want to prove a point against one of the biggest teams in the country, as Genoa have not beaten Juventus in 34 years heading into this fixture on Saturday. Team News & Tactics Juventus Igor Tudor will bring about his style on the pitch, which does point towards a move back to a back three. The new Juventus boss has also named Manuel Locatelli as his new captain while speaking positively about striker Dusan Vlahovic, so the duo might be in line for starts against Genoa. Among those out injured, there are no surprises in the list, although Douglas Luiz and Francisco Conceicao are the absentees that will come back sooner rather than later. The shape that Tudor might prefer could look like a 3-4-2-1, with Vlahovic leading the line. There are some issues in the attacking third for Juventus, where striker Randal Kolo Muani, after a blistering start that saw him score five times in three games has failed to do so again in the subsequent eight games. The other problem is with the form of Teun Koopmeiners, and based on style, the Dutchman could pip Kolo Muani for a spot in the attacking setup. Timothy Weah and Weston McKennie will start as the wing-backs, with Khephren Thuram and Manuel Locatelli stationed in the central midfield unit. At the back, Renato Veiga, Federico Gatti and Piere Kalulu are set to start in that back three for Juventus. Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Gregorio; Kalulu, Gatti, Veiga; Weah, Locatelli, Thuram, McKennie; Yildiz, Koopmeiners; Vlahovic Genoa ............ Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Leali; Sabelli, De Winter, Vasquez, Matturo; Masini, Frendrup; Zanoli, Malinovskyi, Miretti; Pinamonti Key Stats Juventus are undefeated in their last 19 home matches against Genoa in all competitions. Juventus are with fewest league wins at this stage of any campaign since 2011. Genoa have not beaten Juventus in the last 34 years. Genoa are yet to win an away league game in 2025. Player to Watch Dusan Vlahovic The Serbian striker may be one of the players that benefit from Thiago Motta’s dismissal, with the former Juventus boss barely trusting him in the latter stages of his reign at the club. The Serb has further benefitted from the lack of goals from Randal Kolo Muani in the last eight games, which has coincided with the club’s dismal form across all formats. Either way, Vlahovic might begin Igor Tudor’s reign as his starting centre-forward, and these games like the ones against Genoa might be a big chance for him to prove his worth. ............ Prediction Juventus 2-1 Genoa Genoa are in a comfortable mid-table position heading to this clash in Turin, as they are barely under any pressure to win. Hence, Patrick Vieira might have his players attack the ball without fear, although it is the Juventus defensive setup that might prove worthy in this clash. Juventus, on the other hand, are under massive pressure to finish in the top four at the very least. This element alone could see the Bianconeri rush for three points, and with fresh ideas from a new manager, they might just get a narrow win to kickstart Igor Tudor’s reign on a high note. .

Injured Juventus duo won’t return for Genoa clash New Juventus head coach Igor Tudor has reportedly made up his mind regarding calling up Andrea Cambiaso and Douglas Luiz for the upcoming contest against Genoa. ............ The Italian full-back and the Brazilian midfielder have been training separately and were hoping to make their return to contention, but it appears that Tudor and his staff aren’t willing to take any risks on this front, especially given the two players’ injury record this season. ............ Luiz has been struggling with recurring muscle problems this term. He also suffered a couple of relapses after returning from spells on the sidelines. ............ As for Cambiaso, he has been on and off in recent months due to a recurring ankle injury. ............ The former Genoa man is arguably Juve’s most reliable wingback/fullback, so it remains to be seen how Tudor is planning to replace him this weekend. .

Tardelli: Tudor will rely on duo ‘abandoned by Motta’ but Juventus ‘blind’ Italy and Juventus legend Marco Tardelli believes Igor Tudor will rely on Dusan Vlahovic and Kenan Yildiz, who were ‘abandoned’ by Thiago Motta, but insists the Bianconeri had been ‘blind’ and ‘uninterested’ in what happened in the dressing room for too long. ............ “He’s determined to take the opportunity to stay at Juventus, betting on Vlahovic and Yildiz, two players abandoned by Motta,” Tardelli wrote in his column. ............ Vlahovic is the best Juventus scorer this season, but has only played 455 minutes of football in 2025, starting just four times, twice when his teammate Randal Kolo Muani was unavailable. ............ “Tudor knows the environment, having been there as a player and coach. He knows what the fans expect from the team and the club.” ............ Tardelli also sees responsibility within the club: “They’ve been blind and uninterested in what was happening around them for too long,” he argued. ............ “I wonder why Giuntoli, a former footballer who knows locker rooms well, didn’t sense what was happening, especially considering that he had acted somewhat impulsively in other situations.” .

Tudor could be the last manager Yildiz needs to get back to form or sold The time has come for Kenan Yildiz to prove that he is worthy of wearing the prestigious number 10 shirt at Juventus. After making an impressive start to the season, the young attacker is now struggling to maintain his form. His development has not been helped by Thiago Motta’s tactical adjustments, which frequently saw him deployed in different positions on the pitch. ............ With a new manager now at the helm, Igor Tudor will be tasked with unlocking Yildiz’s best form. This will be a crucial period for the attacker, as he must demonstrate that he can perform at the level Juventus require. Tudor’s approach could provide him with the stability and guidance necessary to rediscover his early-season form. However, if Yildiz continues to struggle despite the managerial change, it will become increasingly difficult to attribute his poor performance to coaching decisions. Instead, the focus will shift to the player, raising questions about whether he is truly ready for a long-term role at the club. ............ .

Kenan Yildiz price set as Man United & Liverpool keep close tabs Juventus teenager Kenan Yildiz continues to attract great interest from the Premier League, as Manchester United and others remain hot on his heels. The 19-year-old was poached by the Bianconeri in the summer of 2022. He had spent the previous 10 years at Bayern Munich’s academy. ............ However, it has been a complicated campaign for Yildiz under the recently sacked Thiago Motta. While he had his exploits against the likes of PSV Eindhoven, Inter and Torino, he just hasn’t been delivering the goods consistently, prompting many to believe he’s no longer an ‘unsellable’ player for Juventus. ............ So Juventus have set their asking price for Yildiz at 80 million euros, and they’re not willing to offer any discounts. The Turkiye international has at least three suitors among the Premier League’s biggest clubs, namely Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea. ............ .

Tudor plans new Koopmeiners role at Juventus in 3-4-2-1 system Juventus are expected to transform their tactics to a 3-4-2-1 formation under Igor Tudor, with Teun Koopmeiners replicating the role he had with Atalanta. ............ The plan is to adopt a 3-4-2-1 system that they hope can make the most of €60m summer signing Koopmeiners. ............ Tudor has history of left-footed creative midfielders at Hellas Verona, where Antonin Barak had the best form of his career in 2021-22. It is hoped that he can bring the same energy to Koopmeiners, who has struggled since leaving Atalanta and the style of coach Gian Piero Gasperini. ............ .

Maifredi says Giuntoli has not helped the last two Juventus managers Juventus have appointed a new manager, with Igor Tudor accepting the challenge of becoming their second head coach of the season. His task is clear: to salvage the club’s campaign and secure Champions League qualification for next season. With only a few matches remaining, the Bianconeri are at serious risk of missing out on a top-four finish, a scenario that would be considered a significant failure for a club of their stature. ............ Cristiano Giuntoli, Juventus’ sporting director, has been a key figure in managerial decisions at the club. Since taking on his role, he has had to oversee multiple coaching changes, beginning with Massimiliano Allegri. Giuntoli has maintained that he has always provided full support to the club’s managers, ensuring they have the necessary resources to succeed. However, not everyone shares this view. ............ former Juventus manager Gigi Maifredi has expressed a contrasting opinion, suggesting that Giuntoli has not been sufficiently supportive of the last two head coaches. Maifredi stated: “Like me, Thiago Motta arrived in Turin believing he was a god on earth and hit his face against the locker room. His mistake was thinking that at Juve he could coach like he did at Bologna. Giuntoli didn’t help him, just as he hadn’t helped Allegri.” ............ .

Serie A Preview: Juventus vs Genoa Thiago Motta is no longer in charge of the club. Despite joining Juventus after a sterling season at the helm of Bologna last summer, the 42-year-old failed to meet expectations in Turin. ............ Former Juventus defender Igor Tudor returned to his old stomping ground in a different capacity, signing a short-term deal until the end of the season. The Croatian tactician will try to earn a permanent deal by steering the fallen giants to a sought-after top-four finish in Serie A. ............ Match Preview Juventus Atalanta and Fiorentina have condemned Juventus to a first set of consecutive 3+ goal margin defeats in Serie A for only the third time in club history. Furthermore, the former inflicted Juve’s first home league defeat this season (W7, D7) and possibly opened the floodgates heading into an intense season finale. Juventus had become synonymous with stalemates during Motta’s torrid regime, drawing a league-high 13 matches. Tudor must find a cure for this disease to get the Bianconeri back on track amid a rotten patch, with the home side suffering four defeats across their last six games in all competitions (W2). However, it’s not all doom and gloom for Juventus. Before Atalanta’s thumping victory in Turin, they had won four successive home league encounters, including three via multi-goal margins. On top of that, they’ve been ruthless in this type of contest. For perspective, a commanding 3-0 win in this season’s reverse fixture against Genoa forms part of Juventus’ imperious 15-game unbeaten run against Serie A teams starting this round in the lower reaches (W9, D6). ............ Team News Long-term Juventus absentees Arkadiusz Milik, Juan Cabal, and Gleison Bremer remain unavailable for selection. Moreover, this clash comes too soon for Andrea Cambiaso and Douglas Luiz as Lloyd Kelly looks set to cover the void on the left flank. ............ Juventus vs Genoa Potential Starting Line-ups Juventus (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Weah, Kalulu, Veiga, Kelly; Thuram, Locatelli; McKennie, Koopmeiners, Gonzalez; Kolo Muani. Genoa (4-2-3-1): Leali; Sabelli, De Winter, Johan Vasquez, Caricol; Masini, Frendrup; Zanoli, Malinovskiy, Miretti; Pinamonti. Juventus vs Genoa Prediction Home fans will expect a ‘new manager bounce’ can restore some joy at the Allianz Stadium. Anything other than three points would significantly derail Juventus’ top-four chances, but they should navigate this challenge under Tudor’s iron fist. Prediction: Juventus to Win .

Preview: Juventus vs. Genoa - prediction, team news, lineups Fallen giants Juventus start the post-Thiago Motta era on Saturday evening, when they welcome Genoa to Turin. The Bianconeri's board finally acted to remove their coach after successive Serie A humblings, and trusted hand Igor Tudor will try to revive an ailing top-four challenge. Match preview After suffering an historic home defeat - losing 4-0 to Atalanta BC - Juventus then sunk further into crisis just before the international break, with a 3-0 reverse against Fiorentina at Stadio Franchi. ............ Igor Tudor - who won two Scudetti as a player with Juventus - was subsequently appointed interim head coach, having previously managed Hellas Verona and Lazio in Italy's top flight. Also an assistant at the Allianz Stadium during Andrea Pirlo's ill-fated reign, Tudor has penned a deal until the end of this season, with an option to extend it by a further 12 months. ............ Another failure this week would be unthinkable, as Juve have not lost a Serie A home game to Genoa for 34 years; since then, they have posted 15 wins and five draws. ............ Team News Igor Tudor has confirmed Manuel Locatelli as his Juventus captain, while the Croatian coach has spoken positively about Dusan Vlahovic, who had been out of favour at the tail-end of Thiago Motta's tenure. The latter would therefore be paired with Randal Kolo Muani if Tudor opts for a 3-5-2 formation, though a 3-4-2-1 setup might be more likely. After scoring five goals in his first three matches for the club, Kolo Muani has not found the net in eight subsequent appearances totalling 622 minutes, so he could make way. Juve are still without a trio of long-term absentees - Bremer, Juan Cabal and Arkadiusz Milik - while Andrea Cambiaso and Douglas Luiz are both doubts following a prolonged spell of fitness issues. ............ Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Gatti, Veiga; Weah, Locatelli, Thuram, Savona; Koopmeiners, Yildiz; Vlahovic Genoa possible starting lineup: Leali; Sabelli, De Winter, Vasquez, Matturro; Badelj, Frendrup; Zanoli, Malinovskyi, Miretti; Pinamonti We say: Juventus 2-1 Genoa A change of coach - and formation - should refresh Juventus at this crucial stage of the season, with their Champions League dreams on the line between now and May. While Genoa are tough to beat on home soil, they tend to struggle more on the road and might end up empty-handed. .

The player who has started enjoying life again under Tudor at Juventus By the end of Thiago Motta’s tenure as Juventus manager, he appeared to have fallen out with many of his players. This may explain why only a select few publicly sent him farewell messages following his departure from the club. The absence of well-wishes from many squad members has led fans to speculate whether there was a deeper rift between Motta and his team. ............ Tudor is already focusing on his first major task: securing three points against Genoa this weekend. His arrival appears to have lifted the mood in the dressing room, with several players reportedly excited about the new direction. ............ Several Juventus players are pleased with Tudor’s appointment and are already embracing his methods. The report highlights that one player in particular who seems to have rediscovered his enthusiasm is Dušan Vlahović. Under Motta, the Serbian striker was largely frozen out of the squad, but he is now determined to make an impact under the new manager. Vlahović is reportedly putting in additional training sessions on his days off to maintain peak fitness and ensure he is ready to contribute to the team’s success. His renewed work ethic suggests that he is eager to prove himself and play a pivotal role in Juventus’ resurgence. ............ .

Tudor’s gives first Juventus press conference: ‘I wish I had a 10-year contract’ Igor Tudor has stressed the importance of getting to work ‘quickly’ at Juventus after replacing Thiago Motta as interim head coach, has outlined where the Bianconeri need to improve and jokes that he would love a ‘10-year contract’ at the Allianz Stadium. ............ He began his chat with the press with a message of thanks to the Juventus board for his appointment: “I thank the director, the whole club for this opportunity and the chance to coach this club. I will give everything I have to do the job that needs to be done,” Tudor said. ............ “There are lots of emotions of course. Everyone wants to coach Juve. But most importantly, there is a job to do, a job that needs doing well if we are to achieve the goal, and we all know what that is. “I believe in this team a lot, we have strong players, but little time to work. Everyone arrived yesterday, first training. There are no excuses. ............ “We live in the present, even in this line of work. Having a 10-year contract wouldn’t change much. I wish I had a 10-year contract, but I still have to do my job. We have a match on Saturday, we’re motivating ourselves, that is the life of a coach. We can’t control what happens in the future. I live for today’s training.” ............ “We don’t have to give up on anything. I want people to have fun. I always want to score one more goal. I like to attack a lot, but I don’t want to concede either. The work has to be complete. Football has to go in a direction where it becomes increasingly more exciting, more interesting, the world is increasingly demanding. ............ “Nobody gives a damn if you’re young or old at Juventus, you have to be strong. Juve is a club that does the right things by making the right choices with the right people. I’ve been around and I didn’t always see that. If you pick the wrong person, you don’t do well. This has always been a strength here, starting from above. This culture, Del Piero, Zidane, the humility of these people, Montero. All the ones I remember. “Everyone has to take responsibility. The captain will be Locatelli. ............ “I was talking to Perin about it yesterday, I came in at 20 years old. We had Zidane in the locker room. I would sit there waiting for treatment, there are all these guys who get up and then it’s my turn. I see Zizou and I leave, he grabs me and tells me ‘you’re up, I’ll come later’. “Another good one: I’d take my socks off after training, and Del Piero would come in and tell me ‘look, you have to put them on like this, you have to turn them around.’ Why would he do that? It doesn’t cost anything. Two nice things that show their humility.” Tudor ended his press conference with a word for the Juventus supporters: “The fans have always been important and I’m sure they will support us on Saturday.” ............ .
