Serie A Week 14 - 4-12-2011 (3:00 p.m.) 2 - 0 Claudio Marchisio (72') Arturo Vidal Pardo (P - 83') Juventus Arena - Turin Referee: Daniele Doveri Attendance: 27000‎ Juve cruise past Cesena to go top Dec 4, 2011 Juventus moved back to the top of Serie A with a comfortable 2-0 win over a cautious Cesena at the Juventus Stadium. Claudio Marchisio opened the scoring in the 74th minute of a one-sided game and Arturo Vidal scored the second from the penalty spot in the 83rd minute after Francesco Antonioli was sent off. The home side deserved their win as they dominated from start to finish against a side whose only intent was clearly to snatch a 0-0 draw. Juve were hungry to return to the top of Serie A after seeing both Udinese and AC Milan move above them this weekend and the ball was practically confined to the Cesena half for the entire match. The first chance for the host team came in the seventh minute when Alessandro Matri slipped and sent his shot over the bar from a good position. A minute later, Simone Pepe lifted the ball over the Cesena defence to send Vidal through, but the Chilean tried to pull the ball across goal for a team-mate rather than shooting with only Antonioli to beat. Cesena resisted well for the first 45 minutes, but Juve moved up a gear in the second half. Mirko Vucinic's shot was parried by Antonioli and Pepe shot straight at the Cesena goalkeeper on the rebound in the 50th minute. Pepe then headed just wide of the post from Giorgio Chiellini's deep cross. Cesena's one and only shot on goal arrived in the 65th minute with Raphael Martinho's effort straight at Gianluigi Buffon, who was given a rare touch of the ball. Ten minutes later, Marchisio finally broke the deadlock with his sixth goal of the season. He received the ball on the edge of the penalty area and turned on to his favoured left foot to shoot low into the bottom right-hand corner. A dubious penalty decision then gave Juve the chance to make it two as Antonioli was sent off for a foul on Giaccherini, who took a tumble over the Cesena number one before he saw he had earned a penalty. Guillermo Rodriguez went in goal since all three substitutes had already been used, but he could do nothing to deny Vidal from scoring the second. He did deny Fabio Quagliarella a third in the 89th minute, though, preventing any further damage for the Serie A strugglers. http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 14 - 4-12-2011 (3:00 p.m.) 2 - 0 Claudio Marchisio (72') Arturo Vidal Pardo (P - 83') Juventus Arena - Turin Referee: Daniele Doveri Attendance: 27000‎ Juve thank Marchisio Dec 4, 2011 Juventus thanked Claudio Marchisio’s sixth goal of the season, as they strained to break down Cesena and had a hotly contested penalty. The Bianconeri had to reshuffle with Andrea Pirlo’s suspension ruling him out for the first time this season. Claudio Marchisio returned from his ban and Michele Pazienza was given his first start in a Juve jersey. Cesena had revived their fortunes recently with two consecutive victories, but had Luca Ceccarelli and Nicola Ravaglia suspended, while Gianluca Comotto, Jorge Martinez and Giuseppe Colucci were sidelined. Adrian Mutu returned to face his former club, albeit in their new stadium. Alessandro Matri had a couple of chances in the opening six minutes, but lost his footing. Stephan Lichtsteiner was tripped right on the edge of the box by Rodriguez and Juve wanted a red card, but the referee instead awarded a corner. Cesena were solid at the back and ran very few risks, as Marchisio’s deflected shot from distance was comfortably smothered by Francesco Antonioli. Matri was not having a good day and horribly scuffed his volley from Marchisio’s cross around the penalty spot, while Pepe’s right-foot effort hit the side-netting. Mirko Vucinic burst down the left and smacked his shot towards the near post, forcing veteran goalkeeper Antonioli to parry with his legs. From that corner, Leonardo Bonucci steered a looping header to the same spot where Vucinic couldn’t quite reach. Perhaps Bonucci should’ve gone for goal, as he was unmarked. Juventus had a great double chance after the restart. First Antonioli got down to beat away a Vucinic screamer from distance, then got back on his feet straight away to block Pepe’s volleyed follow-up. Pepe nodded inches wide from a Giorgio Chiellini cross, but Antonio Conte introduced Fabio Quagliarella and Alessandro Del Piero. It was a siege on Cesena’s area, but Juve struggled to find a way through, as Quagliarella and Pazienza drilled over. Del Piero was very unlucky, as he accidentally got a cut to the face from Rossi’s boot in midfield. The veteran was bleeding heavily and stretchered off in clear agony, so his match lasted just eight minutes. It was not a good way to mark his 500th appearance in League games for Juventus, between Serie A and B. Cesena had their first real shot on goal at the 65th minute with Gigi Buffon beating away a Martinho counter-attack. Pepe hit a free kick straight into the wall, but it took their top scorer Marchisio to finally break the deadlock. Marchisio scored his sixth goal of the season, exchanging passes with Arturo Vidal just inside the area to smash a left-foot strike in at the base of the near post. Coach Conte’s celebrations were particularly excitable, leaping up to slam his hands on the Plexiglas. It got worse for Cesena, as Antonioli gave away a penalty and was sent off for clattering into Emanuele Giaccherini as both went for a Stephan Lichtsteiner cross. However, replays suggest Giaccherini would not have really reached the ball and the goalkeeper got to it before the Juventus man. Cesena had already completed their substitutions, so Rodriguez pulled on the shirt and gloves. His first move was to pick Vidal’s penalty out of the back of the net. Eder should’ve got one back for the visitors, but scuffed his finish wide in acres of space down the middle. Rodriguez did get to act as goalkeeper with a good save on Quagliarella from close range. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juventus: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellini; Vidal, Pazienza, Marchisio; Pepe, Vucinic (Del Piero 56) (Giaccherini 64), Matri (Quagliarella 50) Cesena: Antonioli; Rossi, Von Bergen, Rodriguez, Lauro; Ghezzal, Guana, Parolo, Martinho (Candreva 78); Bogdani (Malonga 46) (Eder 78), Mutu Ref:Doveri Sent off: Antonioli 81 http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 14 - 4-12-2011 (3:00 p.m.) 2 - 0 Claudio Marchisio (72') Arturo Vidal Pardo (P - 83') Juventus Arena - Turin Referee: Daniele Doveri Attendance: 27000‎ Marchisio and Vidal on target as Turin giants return to Serie A summit The Bianconeri struggled to create any openings of note during the first half but their goalscoring Italy midfielder came up trumps for them once again with the breakthrough. Dec 4, 2011 Juventus reclaimed top spot in Serie A with a hard-earned 2-0 victory over Cesena in Turin on Sunday afternoon. The Bianconeri struggled badly to break down their relegation-threatened visitors but Claudio Marchisio popped up with just 18 minutes to go to score his sixth goal of the season, before Arturo Vidal slotted home from the penalty spot after Francesco Antonioli had been harshly sent off for bringing down Emanuele Giaccherini. Juventus started promisingly enough, with the movement of Mirko Vucinic and Simone Pepe asking questions of the Cesena defence. The only trouble for the home side was the visitors had answers more often than not. Admittedly, Guillermo Rodriguez was somewhat fortunate to have avoided giving away a penalty when he clattered into Lichtsteiner but the referee saw no foul and waved away Juventus’ protests. There was some doubt over whether the offence had occurred in or outside the box but it should have been a free kick at the very least. That penalty shout aside, Cesena had few scares during the opening 45 minutes. Indeed, Antonioli was only really forced into one notable save, the Cesena goalkeeper using his feet to keep out Vucinic’s low drive shortly before the break. After a presumably stern talking-to from Antonio Conte during the interval, Juventus began the second half with greater endeavour and Pepe squandered two terrific opportunities to open the scoring. In the first instance, the Italy international could only fire straight at Antonioli after the keeper had failed to hold Vucinic’s effort from distance. Then, just moments later Pepe headed wide after being picked out at the far post by a wonderful cross from Giorgio Chiellini. By this point, Fabio Quagliarella had come on for the unusually ineffective Alessandro Matri and Conte opted to make another change before the hour mark, sending Alessandro Del Piero on for Vucinic. However, Del Piero did not have nearly enough time to make an impact, the legendary No.10 being stretchered off with a nasty head wound after being booted in the face by Marco Rossi as he stooped to nod the ball on. It seemed that fate was conspiring against Juventus. However, Marchisio then came up trumps for the Bianconeri once more, the Italian exchanging passes with Pepe and Arturo Vidal on the edge of the box before finding the bottom right corner of the Cesena goal with a sweet left-footed strike. Juve sealed their victory seven minutes form time, Vidal easily beating Rodriguez from 12 yards out after the Cesena defender had been forced to go in goal following Antonioli's dismissal for simply colliding with Giaccherini as the pair competed for Stephan Lichtsteiner's cross. The victory means that the home side move two points clear at the summit once more, while Cesena remain one point and one place off the bottom of the table. http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 14 - 4-12-2011 (3:00 p.m.) - Juventus Arena - Turin Referee: Daniele Doveri Line-ups: Juventus-Cesena Dec 4, 2011 Juventus have adjusted their tactics and look to Michele Pazienza in Andrea Pirlo’s absence against Cesena. The Bianconeri have to reshuffle with Pirlo’s suspension ruling him out for the first time this season, as the veteran has so far played every single minute. Claudio Marchisio returns from his ban, but Pazienza is given his first start in a Juve jersey. It looks like a 4-3-3 system with Simone Pepe possibly coming back to help the midfield, leaving Mirko Vucinic and Alessandro Matri in attack. Cesena have revived their fortunes recently with two consecutive victories, but had Luca Ceccarelli and Nicola Ravaglia suspended, while Gianluca Comotto, Jorge Martinez and Giuseppe Colucci were sidelined. Adrian Mutu returns to face his former club, albeit in their new stadium, with support from Rafael Martinho and Erjon Bogdani. Juventus: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellini; Vidal, Pazienza, Marchisio; Pepe, Vucinic, Matri Cesena: Antonioli; Rossi, Von Bergen, Rodriguez, Lauro; Ghezzal, Guana, Parolo; Martinho, Bogdani, Mutu http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 14 - 4-12-2011 (3:00 p.m.) - Juventus Arena - Turin Referee: Daniele Doveri Claudio Marchisio returns for Juventus versus Cesena The in-form midfielder has made his way back in the starting XI after missing the game against Napoli due to suspension. Dec 4, 2011 Juventus coach Antonio Conte has opted to make two changes compared to the team that drew 3-3 against Napoli in midweek for Sunday's Serie A match at home against Cesena. Claudio Marchisio returns from a one-match ban and takes his place in midfield again at the expense of Marcelo Estigarribia, while playmaker Andrea Pirlo is suspended and will be replaced by Michele Pazienza. Simone Pepe, Alessandro Matri and Mirko Vucinic will form Juventus' three-man attack, meaning that Milos Krasic and Alessandro Del Piero start from the bench once again. Cesena coach Daniele Arrigoni will be looking toward star players Marco Parolo and Adrian Mutu as his side aim to get a good result at Juventus Stadium. Juventus: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Barzagli, Chiellini; Marchisio, Pazienza, Vidal; Pepe, Matri, Vucinic. Subs: Storari, De Ceglie, Giaccherini, Krasic, Del Piero, Quagliarella, Estigarribia. Cesena: Antonioli; Comotto, Von Bergen,Rodriguez, Lauro; Candreva, Guana, Parolo, Martinho; Bogdani, Mutu. Subs: Calderoni, Ricci, Benalouane, Rossi, Djokovic, Eder, Livaja. http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Serie A Week 14 - 4-12-2011 (3:00 p.m.) - Juventus Arena - Turin Referee: Daniele Doveri Arrigoni challenges Juve Dec 4, 2011 Daniele Arrigoni cannot deny Cesena face “a very difficult game” against Serie A leaders Juventus today. The Sea Horses looked doomed to relegation when he took over from Marco Giampaolo, but have improved their fortunes with two consecutive victories. “We are playing against a team that fights for the Scudetto, even if I think Milan are still the favourites. There’s no doubting it is a very difficult game,” said the Coach. “Juve know full well they cannot afford mistakes in these games, while I am worried by the quality of their players. We’ll try to do our best.” Andrea Pirlo is suspended for the Turin giants, while Arrigoni is keeping his cards close to his chest. “I still haven’t decided about the right-back and midfield, but I can confirm Abdel Ghezzal will start. I expect a great deal from him. I want Antonio Candreva behind the strikers, but at this moment we need balance.” http://www.soccerway...regular-season/

Potevano essere tre

Giaccherini non vuole far male ulteriormente ai suoi ex compagni

Se lo dicono sono pazzi come anche chi li sta a sentire.

Neanche a me. Anche contro l'Inter non ci hanno dato un rigore cosí.

TORNERETE TORNERETE IN SERIE B!

Rigore netto

I mangiapiadina si lamentano pure.

Mi sa che non avrá piú voce .

Vidal sfortunato

Cesena squadra di fabbri degna della serie B.

Giaccherini quasi come Messi

Non se lo merita 'sto morto di fame.

Come Trezeguet

Morte al catenaccio!

CLAUDIO MARCHISIO

claudio marchisio

Catenaccio degno del campionato 1950-1951

I mangiapiadina continuano a perdere tempo con il consenso dell'arbitro scarso.

La barriera era vicinissima. Arbitro Doveri dov'eri?
