Nico Gonzalez explains why Juventus ‘needed Tudor’ relishes Bologna clash Juventus attacker Nicolas Gonzalez reveals how Igor Tudor brought a certain energy to the group which was sorely missing. ............ The Croatian certainly appreciates Nico’s hard-working ethics, and he’s been fielding him in various roles, whether as a wingback or an attacking midfielder. In Sunday’s contest against Monza, Gonzalez was playing in a more advanced position, so he took the opportunity to cut to the middle and send an unstoppable long-range screamer to the bottom corner, leaving no chance for Stefano Turati. ............ “We put on a good display. The game became like this in the second half. We had to do more, fight, struggle, let’s continue like this because there are four games left that are fundamental for us,” said Gonzalez in his post-match press conference. “The coach always wants us to use our heads. Every day. He never gives up. For me, he’s doing great things for the group, he is excellent, because we need that energy and positivity.” ............ “We spoke with Kenan, especially during the break. He apologised to the group. I also experienced a red card some time ago. It’s tough when you’re young, but you learn from it. “He’s a good guy, you can see, he didn’t do it on purpose, now he has to work hard and stay calm, and prove his worth on the pitch.” ............ “Yes, I know Italiano well, he’s ready to face Juventus. I know him. It will be a beautiful match to watch, they play good football. “Whoever wants it more will win. Let’s see if we return to Turin with three points in the bag.” .

What changes in Kolo Muani’s future after ending his Juventus goal drought Randal Kolo Muani has finally reconciled with the net as he scored the second goal for Juventus in their 2-0 win over Monza. ............ The 26-year-old squandered a few opportunities at the start of the contest, but when Khephren Thuram put him through on goal, he wasn’t going to let this opportunity slip by. The striker found the bottom corner with a clever touch that illustrated his clinical finishing. This goal gave the Old Lady a 2-0 lead, and the team was able to preserve it despite Kenan Yildiz’s foolish dismissal. As for Kolo Muani, this marks his first goal since his early exploits upon his arrival, when he scored five times in his first three outings for Juventus. ............ The situation drastically changed with Igor Tudor in charge. The Croatian immediately restored Dusan Vlahovic as a regular starter, while dropping Kolo Muani from the lineup, suggesting the latter has no place at Continassa anymore. But the future has yet to be written for Kolo Muani, who might dwell at Juventus after all, especially following Sunday’s encouraging outing. Albeit it was only Monza, the French striker proved he can be useful for the club with his agility and movement, as well as his killer instinct inside the box. ............ Juve have delayed all plans on this front until the end of the Serie A campaign, as their market strategy will largely depend on Champions League qualification. .

Tudor: ‘Juventus battle, the way I like it, but Yildiz a rare talent’ Juventus manager Igor Tudor refused to throw Kenan Yildiz under the bus following the latter’s howler against Monza. ............ But just before halftime, Yildiz foolishly got himself sent off for elbowing Alessandro Bianco in an off-the-ball incident. While the match official didn’t notice the episode, he was summoned for an on-field review by the VAR, and this could have only resulted in one outcome. Juve’s lead remained intact despite their numerical disadvantage, and the Croatian enjoyed the determination he saw in his player in the second half. “We had a very good first half, could’ve had another goal with two good chances, then that incident changed the game,” said the Juventus manager in his post-match interview. ............ “The second half was a battle, a match we had to grab with our fingernails. It’s how I like it, with suffering and hard work, we also had a chance with Nico for 3-0.” ............ “Kenan is world class, only those with real talent can play in those roles and they are rare. We will try to find something, we cannot wait for these games, as they are head-to-head clashes, an opportunity to prove who we are. “That is how we should go into these matches. We will find 11 strong players to start, that’s the important thing.” ............ “Every match is difficult, Parma were unbeaten in five, so it might be even tougher than facing Inter right now. “Timing means a lot in the fixture list, but you also need the team to grow in every respect.” .

Yildiz apologises to Juventus fans after red card Kenan Yildiz apologised to Juventus fans while leaving the pitch on Sunday after receiving a straight red card in a home game against Monza. The Turkish talent elbowed Monza midfielder Alessandro Bianco, prompting the referee to a pitchside review, which resulted in a straight red card for the 19-year-old. Juventus were already 2-0 up, but the striker’s red card will surely force him out of action in the next game against Bologna, even if the sports judge may extend the ban to two games for violent conduct. ............ .

Juventus 2 - Monza 0: Initial reaction and random observations Just as first-half stoppage time arrived Sunday evening at the Allianz Stadium, you were probably feeling good about how things were going for Juventus. They were up 2-0 against Monza, looked in relative control with the team they were facing being one of the lowest-scoring sides in Serie A and looking pretty impotent over the course of the first half. ............ A happy kind of feeling as Juventus walked to the tunnel at halftime because of said 2-0 lead? Nope, not one bit. That is because of Kenan Yildiz’s moment of just complete madness when things looked like Juve were just going to head off on one more counterattack before halftime. The 19-year-old Yildiz, a week shy of his 20th birthday, was shown a completely deserved straight red for a deliberate elbow to the face of Alessandro Bianco right before the first half came to a close of the X-X win over Monza. It means that Yildiz will certainly miss next weekend’s showdown with Bologna on his birthday, and could very well receive a two-match ban that would keep him out of the visit to Rome to face Lazio. ............ Because this season has seen plenty go wrong — and a lot of that is simply down to the fact that Juventus continue to be their own worst enemy. They can’t help but shoot themselves in the foot time and time again. Doesn’t matter if it’s drawing over and over again against mid- or lower-table clubs they should be beating or now seeing their No. 10 and most in-form attacking player essentially self-sabotage his chances of playing in one of the biggest and most important games remaining this season. Yildiz knew what he was doing, looked at Bianco right before he did it ... and went through with it. That’s the sign of a young man who has previously shown to be much more mature than what his birth certificate says simply losing his head not thinking of the ramifications about what may come due to his actions. Juventus, with their 2-0 lead, somewhat understandably just set up shop. down a man to try and ensure that they got the three vital points that would send them back up into the top four on a temporary basis ahead of Bologna’s matchup against Udinese on Monday night. I guess that’s a “luxury” you can take when facing a Monza side that struggles to score with any sort of consistency and is basically on the cusp of being relegated to Serie B. But man, that second half was tough. Really, really tough. ............ The blessing in all of this is that Monza are just pretty terrible in attack (and in general). They finished with 83% possession in the second half yet only recorded two of their nine shots on goal. Michele Di Gregorio had to make two saves despite seeing Juventus going ultra-defensive and basically daring his former club to score against his current one. Of course, it never would have been necessary if Yildiz didn’t get sent off. And, of course, a positive response to what happened midweek against Parma with what Juve did in the first half was then totally forgotten by how everything with the young Turk went down right before halftime arrived. ............ RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Kenan, what were you thinking? Just explain it to me because I don’t get it. It’s 2-0. Your team is in complete control and on their way to three pretty easy and incredibly important points with what is at stake. You’ve got a top-four showdown next up on the schedule. Just think for a second rather having any sort of retaliation on your mind. So now, instead of having the chance to ball out and help Juventus win on your 20th birthday, Yildiz will be back in Turin watching from home. Just totally unnecessary. ............ Lost in all of this was the fact that Juventus scored two pretty nice goals courtesy of Nico Gonzalez and Randal Kolo Muani, putting to end two very length goal droughts for two very important players going forward here. Do you remember the last time Nico scored a goal? I’ll give you a couple of seconds. It was the last time Juventus played Monza ... right before Christmas. That’s four months. ............ As good as the individual effort was from Gonzalez on the opener, the counterattack from Juventus for Kolo Muani’s first goal since his brace on Feb. 7 was pretty dang nice, too. There are a lot of things that have gone wrong with Juve’s summer mercato, but the sight of Khephren Thuram striding forward through the midfield and into the attacking third is becoming one of my most favorite things these days. The assist and the finish from Kolo Muani just capped off a quick and very good counterattack. ............ Seeing the attacking momentum go from basically all Juventus before the half and then all Monza after the half is somewhat amusing. Again, I’m just glad that Monza are somewhat allergic to scoring goals or else this second half probably would have gone differently. But hey, at least the way the second half went allowed somebody like Renato Veiga to absolutely rack up the defensive actions right and left. Dude had 11 clearances! ............ Monza completing 557 passes is not something I thought would happen on this day. Monza passes completed in the second half: 305 Juventus passes completed in the second half: 65 ............ So the three-game stretch against teams that are just above or, in Monza’s case, very much in the relegation zone ends with Juventus getting six out of a possible nine points. That’s not exactly nice because it should have been nine out of nine, but maybe this season has conditioned us to expect even worse. Just glad that Juve beat Monza. Not so glad that Yildiz got sent off with a very deserved straight red. The good just comes with the bad this season and there’s nothing we can do about it.

Juventus vs Monza player ratings – Yildiz rating impacted by red card Michele di Gregorio – 7.0 ............ Pierre Kalulu – 6.5 ............

Manuel Locatelli – 7.5 Locatelli led by example, picking the right passes and helping the defence to close down openings. Khephren Thuram – 8.5 Thuram was the best Juventus player on the pitch, and he was rewarded with an assist. Andrea Cambiaso – 7.0 ............

Nicolas Gonzalez – 7.5 Gonzalez was industrious and was rewarded with a goal, having contested the most duels by a Juventus player.

Serie A | Juventus 2-0 Monza: Victory despite Yildiz moment of madness Juventus got back on track with Nico Gonzalez and Randal Kolo Muani goals, but played the entire second half against Monza down to 10 men after Kenan Yildiz saw red for violent conduct. ............ Kolo Muani’s acrobatic volley stung Stefano Turati’s gloves at the back post, while Samuele Birindelli failed to make the most of a promising counter-attack. The deadlock was broken when Nico Gonzalez gathered down the right in midfield, cut inside and hit a low drive into the far bottom corner with his left boot from a long way outside the penalty area. ............ Manuel Locatelli started the move by winning it back in midfield, Khephren Thuram surged forward and spread it down the left for Kolo Muani to sweep into the far bottom corner with the inside of the right boot. However, the game changed in first half stoppages when Kenan Yildiz was caught on camera looking at Alessandro Bianco before raising the elbow to his face in an off the ball incident. He did not even protest when shown the red card following a VAR On-Field Review, leaving Juventus down to 10 men. ............ Renato Veiga used his face to charge down a Gianluca Caprari screamer, as Monza put together a series of crosses without much final product. . Juventus 2-0 Monza Nico Gonzalez 11 (J), Kolo Muani 34 (J) Sent off: Kenan Yildiz 45 (J) . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/serie-a-juventus-2-0-monza-victory-yildiz/

Juventus win but lose Yildiz to a red card against Monza Juve defeated Monza 2-0 in Serie A this evening as they got back to winning ways after their loss to Parma. ............ The men in black and white knew they had to make a statement. They began the match strongly and it did not take them long to get ahead through Nicolas Gonzalez. The Argentinian had been in need of a goal and Juve were toying with the Monza defence, with Randal Kolo Muani going close shortly afterwards. The Frenchman would soon be rewarded as he slotted in a superb effort to get back among the goals and repay his manager for handing him a rare start. Juve dominated the game from the beginning to the end of the first half, showing why they are considered the bigger team. However, Kenan Yildiz was sent off just before the break. ............ The Bianconeri began the second half strongly as well, even though the Monza team grew in confidence. They were prepared for any tactic Monza attempted to use to get a goal back. ............ Being a man down limited what Juve could have achieved, but they remained solid at the back and secured another important win. .

Sí ma non capisco cosa siano le cose che a Napoli non si possono fare.

Forse quelle cose che a Napoli non si possono fare come ha dichiarato Antonio stesso.

Sto vedendo la partita del Lecce. É una partita surreale. Sembra che anche l'Atalanta non abbia voglia di infierire sui pugliesi.

Buona serie B Monza!

Bravo Alberto. Il sovraeccitato Carboni gliene dice di tutti i colori ma il portoghese lo ignora.

Ma dai Tar. Ha tolto i diffidati Thuram e Cambiaso.

Monza 91% possesso palla nel secondo tempo

Penso che fosse diffidato.

Birindelli, ricordati di tuo padre bianconero! Non fare scherzi.

Puó essere. Purtroppo é giá successo. Speriamo non oggi.

Anche io ho fatto il servizio militare obbligatorio. Allora avevo 20 anni e sono contento di non essere stato nella tua situazione. Non saprei dirti se mi sarei rifiutato a quell'etá. Ora non avrei dubbi. Non volevo comunque giudicarti, sia ben chiaro.
