Pundit explains John Elkann’s latest comments on Juventus The leader of Juventus’ parent company Exor, John Elkann, recently said the Bianconeri were starting from scratch. He made Cristiano Giuntoli the club’s latest sporting director and has now tasked the former Napoli man to rebuild the team. .............. What changes should we expect and what does Elkann’s words mean? Pundit Stefano Impallomeni explains: “If you are a fan, you always expect a lot, now the fans must have patience and the Elkann’s words are responsible and lead to an active wait for this Juve. Pay attention to the balance sheet but let’s move, he says, relying on Giuntoli to build something competitive. It’s the beginning of a new story. And year zero for me it means a new coach and new players. Now we understand why Giuntoli was hired, who is expected to make his first evaluations next year. The era of the instant team, now scouting, ability to find new talents, is over.” .............. Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/pundit-explains-john-elkanns-latest-comments-on-juventus/

Fabrizio Ravanelli admits Conte can rebuild Juventus but it will take time Former Juventus striker Fabrizio Ravanelli believes that Antonio Conte has proven his ability to rebuild a team and could potentially do so for Juventus. The Bianconeri find themselves in need of a rebuild after experiencing a downturn in form over the past two seasons. While Max Allegri’s side remains one of the top teams in Serie A, their performances have been underwhelming in recent months. Despite the possibility of securing a Champions League place by the end of the season, Allegri’s future at the club remains uncertain. Juventus has been considering various candidates for the managerial role, including Thiago Motta. However, one potential appointment that Juventus could make is bringing Antonio Conte back to the club. ............. “Antonio was good at rebuilding at Juventus, at Inter but also in England , they know that he was a flag for Juventus and they would go for Conte because they are sure of his work culture and everything else but at the basis of everything there must be a project because you don’t solve all the problems by simply hiring a new coach, you need a complete job and it takes time because to rebuild a team by changing the coach it doesn’t return to winning. It takes time, it takes those players who can suit Juventus.” ............. Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/fabrizio-ravanelli-admits-conte-can-rebuild-juventus-but-it-will-take-time/

New potential mockups for Juventus’ 2024-25 jerseys break on the internet Next year’s jerseys are probably only a couple of months away, and we’ve gotten another look at what they might look like. As spring dawns and the season reaches the home stretch, another of football’s yearly rites is about to begin. That’s right, it’s kit leak season! It’s the time of year when news starts to trickle out about what next year’s shirts might look like. Considering the fact that Juventus, like several of Italy’s other big teams, have taken to wearing the next season’s shirts for a game or two at the end of the season to kickstart the marketing drive, we might only be six weeks or so away from the big reveal of the 2024-25 kit. That’s what makes the most recent news on the kit front quite interesting. The newest leaks came on Tuesday from La Maglia Bianconera, a social media outlet with an excellent track record when it comes to showing us what Adidas have been up to. ............ That’s not too bad. The middle three stripes are prominent in a way that is reminiscent of the 2018-19 kit—that of the unfortunate letter H design. That particular blunder is unlikely to repeat itself, although we still don’t know who the shirt sponsor is going to be next year. If as usual it’s released before the end of the season we’ll see the Jeep logo on it for at least one game, and Juve and Adidas have fortunately ditched the big black background that caused the problem in the old kits. ............

Juventus closing in on deal for Lazio’s Felipe Anderson on a free transfer Could Juve be welcoming their first addition for the 2024-25 season in short order? When you are a club like Juventus that currently has very limited funds at the ready and have had to rely on business daddy to cover the most recent fiscal year’s losses, trying to find a deal or two on the transfer market feels inevitable. One of those deals looks to be close to crossing the finish line. According to Fabrizio Romano, Juventus are “one step away” from completing a deal for Lazio winger Felipe Anderson on a free transfer come this summer. Anderson, who turns 31 years old in less than a week, has been rumored off and on over the last couple of months to be in contract talks with Lazio, but clearly they have reached the point of no return. And Juventus, with the possibility of a managerial change becoming more and more possible come the summertime and the very obvious need for more depth no matter who the manager is come the start of the 2024-25 season, see a chance to bring in a very experienced player in Italy as well as somebody who wouldn’t cost the club much in terms of a transfer fee or salary. There have yet to be any sort of details about how long the Brazilian would sign for or what his wages would be when he does come to a full agreement on a deal with Juventus. Anderson’s salary at Lazio is around €1.5 million net this season. ............ Where Anderson would fit in at Juve obviously depends on who the next manager will be. Since taking over at Lazio a couple of weeks ago, igor Tudor has used Anderson as a wingback, so go ahead and get your “What happens if he plays for Max Allegri?” thoughts out of your mind right now. Under Tudor’s predecessor, Maurizio Sarri, Anderson was very much back to where he’s suited as a winger in a three-man frontline. ............

Allegri: Juventus know what our limitations are Juve finally get back to winning ways It's no surprise that if Juventus were finally going to get back to winning ways, it would be in prime Allegriball manner, with minimal possession playing counterattacking football and relying on set pieces for goals. Well, Fiorentina became the latest side to come to the Juventus Stadium this season and get beaten that way in a 1-0 win for Massimiliano Allegri's side. Speaking after the game, the coach talked about the effort his side were putting in. “We work every day to improve. There are also moments psychologically, as we had not won in Serie A for a while. We ran no risks in the first half, had three goals disallowed for offside by a matter of centimetres, then also created chances in the second. “It’s true that we risked conceding the equaliser late on after a technical error, but I would not reproach the lads for anything. “They are having a good season, we are doing everything we can to get as many points as possible. We kept a second consecutive clean sheet and victory, so that is important progress.” ............ “In football there are two teams, with two different jerseys, we are the Bianconeri, they are the Viola. We want to keep the ball for 90 minutes, have 30 shots on goal, but I don’t think anyone can do that even in their dreams. “We know what our limitations are. At this stage of the season, the most important thing is the result. I don’t see many teams who avoid allowing a single shot on target, we do our best, but the lads are doing well.” The game statistics were not flattering for Juventus, with just 227 passes and 25% possession, compared to the Viola's 675 passes and 75% on the ball. “We try to play in the opposition half for 90 minutes, but there are opponents too. The idea is to play with a high press, push the other team into their own half and pass it more cleanly. “We should’ve been 2-0 up at half-time, we didn’t get the second goal, inevitably Fiorentina would come out fighting. We had a few opportunities on the counter-attack and should’ve done better.” ............ “These are extraordinary lads, we have the objective of Champions League qualification and are on track. Perhaps seeing how the season went, we had too many points early in the season and too few in the second stage.” ............

Juventus 1 - Fiorentina 0: Initial reaction and random observations A strong first half was replaced by a second half in which Juve barely touched the ball. Yet, thankfully, it was enough for the Bianconeri to record their first league win in nearly two months. There was one reason and one reason only as to why this wasn’t a complete runaway after 45 minutes Sunday night: Of the four times Juventus found the back of the net, three of them were wiped out thanks to VAR ruling things offside. That meant that Juve had to make a Federico Gatti goal 20 minutes in stand rather than having a stress-free second half for the first time in months. That meant things went the way of the first time these two teams met this season back in November: sit back and protect the lead. Sit back they did. A lot. But protect the lead they did, too. Although they can thank their keeper who was in his highlight green kit for that on a rare occurrence Fiorentina actually put something on frame. A one-goal lead through Gatti’s latest eventual game-winning goal that would have been two or three (at least) if not for the offside rule being such a cruel thing saw Juve revert back to basically what they did in Florence back in November. That meant essentially dare Fiorentina to break down their defense no matter how much of the ball they had. And La Viola had a whole hell of a lot of it, but a simply stunning 84% possession after the break only resulted in a few genuine chances, none of which were able to get past Wojciech Szczesny a couple of moments of simply world-class goalkeeping, as Juve held on for a 1-0 win over Fiorentina. It was Juve’s first league victory since they beat Frosinone on Feb. 25. And it was just Juve’s second league victory since the draw against Empoli in late-January started this nine-game run in which things went more than just a little sideways. ............ With the way the first half was going, you didn’t really care who scored a goal that counted, you just wanted Juventus to get a goal that counted. It didn’t matter if it was Gatti or Dusan Vlahovic, just something that stood after they had basically every single quality scoring chance and also limited Fiorentina to next to nothing on the other end of the field. Of course, we didn’t expect a goal to be called off due to offside on THREE DIFFERENT INSTANCES, but that is just the reality of what happened. Juve were playing well, but the offside calls were simply the one thing holding them back from running away with it. Then that second half ... boy, that second half sure was something. Lemme just drop a couple of stats on your real quick: In the second half alone, Fiorentina had nearly 300 more passes than Juventus, 345-69 (nice?). In the second half, Fiorentina had the aforementioned 84% possession. Despite all of that possession, Fiorentina had an xG of just 0.43. It was negative from Juventus, don’t get me wrong there. This was almost a direct replica of what Juve did back in Florence earlier this season without Fiorentina just launching cross after cross after cross into the box simply because they played much of the second half without any sort of reference point up front after taking out Andrea Belotti. But the thing that stuck with me about Fiorentina’s performance was, despite SOOOOOO MUCH possession, how empty all of it was. Outside of the two big saves Szczesny made late in the half, he really had nothing of note to do outside of collect a handful of crosses. Most of Fiorentina’s shots were low-percentage shows from outside the box that went well wide or ones that were blocked by a Juve defender. ............ RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS YOU PUT SOME RESPECT ON WOJCIECH SZCZESNY’S NAME AND YOU DO IT RIGHT NOW. I mean, come on — that’s one of the best saves Szczesny has made since he became Juve’s No. 1. Literally got his fingertips on the ball, which was just enough to redirect it onto the far post and keep it out of the net. It’s just so, so good on so many levels. I’m gonna watch that save so many times over the next couple of hours. You can probably assume this post was sent live later than originally planned simply because I was watching the replay of Tek’s save a few more times just because it was so good. Juventus xG: 2.09 Fiorentina xG: .054 This game is dumb sometimes. It really is. Two Juventus goals called off within the first 12 minutes. Sure, one was more obvious than the other, but I’m guessing you didn’t have that one on the bingo card. Little did we know ... I can’t remember a game in which Juventus had three goals called off due to offside over 90 minutes, let alone in less than 45 minutes. That’s just crazy. The offside rule robbed us of another Vlahovic goal assisted by Weston McKennie. Don’t they know that these things matter to us and we want to see this trend continue?! ............ I wonder if Michael Kayode is interested in signing with Juventus over the next few years. Or maybe it’s better phrased this way: would Kayode be interested in coming back to Juventus? That’s a 19-year-old fullback with a bright, bright future and it’s very unfortunate that he didn’t stick with Juve’s youth setup. ............ Only two Juventus players, Bremer and Andrea Cambiaso, completed more than 80% of their passes against Fiorentina. That, no matter what your possession numbers are, is not good at all, my friends. Juve’s three starting central midfielders COMBINED to attempt 49 passes. That’s WILD. Manuel Locatelli, while playing well defensively, attempted 13 passes. Thirteen! Madness. Filip Kostic attempted nine passes. That’s crazy, too. ............ Well, at least Juventus won. So there’s that. Thank goodness because writing about more dropped points really wasn’t something I was in the mood to do.
