Last-gasp goal pushes Juventus past Salernitana It didn’t look much like what happened midweek, but Juve were able to escape Salerno with three points. Three days after obliterating Salernitana in their Coppa Italia meeting, Juventus headed south for an instant rematch in Salerno. Things did not go as well. Just like Thursday, last-place Salernitana actually took the lead. This time it came at the end of the first half, after Juve dropped their guard on a quick counterattack. But whereas in midweek Juventus responded by completely overwhelming the worst team in Serie A so far this season, Sunday’s Juve found itself largely unable to make much happen in front of goal. Even when Salernitana went a man down when their own goalscorer saw a second yellow card, Juve weren’t so much as sniffing a shot on target. To their credit, Juve did manage to dig out two goals — one in the 65th minute and then a winner off a towering header by Dusan Vlahovic just as stoppage time began — to pull out a 2-1 victory. But to come that close to a game that would slide into the Monza and Maccabi Haifa level of unacceptable is of serious concern, as is Juve’s continued inability to get themselves past a set defense. As the first half of the season closes, Juve in a great position in the standings, but there are still problems that this club needs to fix. ........... It was Maggiore that woke the game up in the 39th minute. The move started when Gyömbér hit a long ball over the top for Sambia, who pulled it back to Tchaouna at the top of the box. Bradaric was waiting nearby, and Tchaouna’s layoff might’ve been for him, but it got past him and perfectly into the path of Maggiore, who had tons of space in the area. He controlled it with his first touch and then fired a bolt to the opposite post with his second, leaving Szczesny no chance. Through the first half, Juve had only generated five shots, none of which were on target. Allegri’s first attempt to change that came right out of the break, sending Samuel Iling-Junior to replace an ineffective Kostic. Four minutes into the second half, Juve really should’ve been level when Yildiz sent Rabiot down the left. The Frenchman’s cross was perfect but McKennie, who had made a great run through the box, only managed to glance the ball wide with the far post gaping. Two minutes later. Juve really ought to have been given a penalty when Gyömbér planted his shoulder into Vlahovic’s back, preventing him from jumping for a cross. There wasn’t even a VAR review, which wasn’t a good look for a refereeing system that has had some serious issues this weekend. Two minutes later, though, referee Marco Guida did do his job, showing Maggiore a second yellow card when he took out Rabiot as he charged toward the box. That left 37 minutes for Juve to turn the game around against 10 men. ........... It’s appropriate that Juventus got back into the match on a play that very nearly went down as an enormous mistake. Taking a free kick quickly, they worked the ball into the box on the right hand side, with Milik flicking it on for Weah toward the byline. His low cross went into a good position, but Vlahovic completely scuffed it. Luckily, said scuff went right to Iling-Junior, who took a touch to settle before smashing it into the roof of the net from 6 yards out. Juve had 25 minutes to reel in all three points, but they looked like they breathed a little bit too hard a sigh of relief after equalizing. ........... Juve managed to direct the flow of the game back toward the Salernitana goal for the most part after that, but the closest they came to scoring was an attempt by Iling-Junior to bend for the far post, but hit way too far wide. But just as the clock ticked into stoppages, the moment Juve needed finally came. It came from their captain and their superstar. Danilo stole the ball from Chukwubuikem Ikuwemesi and measured up a perfect cross for Vlahovic, who rose between Gyömbér and Fazio to bounce a bullet header into the net to give Juve three badly needed points as the andata came to a close. LE PAGELLE WOJCIECH SZCZESNY - 7. Didn’t have to make a ton of saves but the one on Bradaric’s long-range bomb was impressive, and he kept the box relatively clear throughout. FEDERICO GATTI - 5.5. ............ BREMER - 7. Four clearances, good passing out of the back. A solid game as usual. DANILO - 8. Another do-everything day for the captain. He led the team in touches (119), key passes (3), and tackles (4), was second amongst the starters with a 94.2 percent pass completion rate. His assist for Vlahovic was pitch-perfect. He continues to lead this team by example. TIMOTHY WEAH - 6. ............ WESTON McKENNIE - 6. ............ HANS NICOLUSSI CAVIGLIA - 5. A rough day for the youngster. ............ ADRIEN RABIOT - 6. Another game in the “very solid” category for the Frenchman, who contributed a key pass and buzzed around the attacking third. Should’ve had an assists had McKennie not botched his header. FILIP KOSTIC - 4.5. ............ KENAN YILDIZ - 5.5. Led the team in dribbles but wasn’t able to get things going in the final third against a parked bus. It’s only his fourth league game, so obviously there is a ton of room for growth, but these are the kinds of games the team will need his skills to help break these defenses down. DUSAN VLAHOVIC - 6. Credited with the least intentional assist in the history of mankind on the equalizer, and rose up when it mattered most for the goal. Beyond that, he was actually playing pretty poorly, but it’s the mark of a great striker to be able to break through with a goal even when you’re not having your best day. SUBS SAMUEL ILING-JUNIOR - 6.5. Took his goal excellently, and also had a pair of tackles defensively. Changed the nature of the attacks down the left with his dynamism. DANIELE RUGANI - 6. Solid in the back after coming on for Gatti. Made two tackles and two clearances, along with an interception. Brought most anything that came close to his side to a halt. ARKADIUSZ MILIK - 6. Again became the fulcrum around which Juve could operate in the attacking third. An underrated part of the game was his forcing the foul that Juve subsequently turned into the sequence that led to the equalizer. FABIO MIRETTI - 6. ............ JOSEPH NONGE - NR. His Serie A debut was nothing to write home about, but it wasn’t a disaster either. I’d love to see what this kids has got. MANAGER ANALYSIS Let’s start with what Max did well in this game. Chiefly, that’s his subs. He only had five outfield players available to him on the day, and used them all to great effect. Removing Kostic was a no-brainer, and Allegri should think hard about how many more starts he gets in the near future. Getting Gatti out of there, who was turning into the defender’s edition of LeRoy Jenkins, was a good idea as well. It was the timing of the changes that mentions special notion, as it very much bucks his unfortunate habit of waiting far too long to make changes until the sub has very little time to make an impact. These changes are ultimately what won Juve the match — Iling in particular — and deserve praise. However, this game exposed a serious weakness in Allegri’s current approach, and it’s one that’s going to increasingly come into play as the season progresses. Allegri still doesn’t have a real plan when it comes to breaking down a low block. While a lack of players with that kind of creativity is certainly one problem, it still feels like Allegri is just waiting for someone to have a massive individual moment to break the impasse, rather than finding a tactical solution ot the problem. Breaking teams down is going to be essential as the season goes on. Yildiz may go a ways toward fixing the problem, but he’s still young and needs developing, so heaping that all on him from the start is probably unwise. Individual brilliance will only go so far in a long season, and Allegri needs to find some way to counter a low block. LOOKING AHEAD Juve take on Frosinone on Thursday in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals, then welcome Sassuolo — the only team to have beaten them this season — to the Allianz on Tuesday night.

Juventus 2 - Salernitana 1: Initial reaction and random observations Just when it looked like Juve might drop points against the team at the bottom of the Serie A table, it was Dusan Vlahovic to the rescue in stoppage time. It didn’t take long to figure out Sunday evening that this was going to be the kind of game in which Juventus had to try an answer against a Salernitana side that was going to sit deep in defense. That became even more of the case early in the second half when Giulio Maggiore, the same dude who was responsible for handing his team a 1-0 lead, was sent off after being shown a second yellow. That raised the question: Could Juventus take advantage of the man advantage and suddenly unlock a Salernitana defense that is statistically the worst in Serie A? The answer: They did. Just barely, but they did. For the second time in four days, Juventus recorded a come-from-behind victory over Salernitana. The one on Sunday was very much the polar opposite of the one we saw three days earlier in the Coppa Italia Round of 16, with a second-half comeback needed to dig out of a 1-0 hole and secure three points in Salerno. The comeback began through second-half substitute Samuel Iling-Junior tying things up with his first goal of the season. It was complete when Dusan Vlahovic, in the first minute of stoppage time, scored his second game-winning goal in the span of three weeks with a towering and thunderous header to give the 2-1 win over 10-man Salernitana to help Juventus keep pace with league leaders Inter Milan. ........... As Max Allegri warned his team of and mentioned during his pre-match press conference, this was not the same kind of game that we saw three days earlier in the Coppa Italia. This was a Salernitana side that had some of their best players back in the lineup after the midweek squad rotation. And, as we’ve seen plenty of times before, a Salernitana team that was happy to sit back and do what gives Juve a lot of problems — packing it in and forcing Allegri’s squad to break you down rather than hit you on the counter. ........... Even with the man advantage it wasn’t looking all that encouraging. Juventus recorded 18 shots against Salernitana on Sunday, but only three of them were actually put on target. The good thing about that? Two of them proved to be the second-half goals that won it for Juve, who are now back to just two points behind winter champions Inter as that Derby d’Italia at the start of February looms ever so massive in a few weeks. The last shot on goal, though, that was the most important of them all. Vlahovic’s header was just as good as the ball that Danilo sent into him. And it was the latest edition of Fine alla Fine that this team has displayed this season even when the overall product was not at the best level. ........... RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Here is a picture of Max Allegri in a beanie. I think it looks cool. Dusan Vlahovic is an intense fella when he’s on the field. Those celebrations both after the goal and after the final whistle only proved that. My goodness does he wear his heart on his sleeve when he’s out there. Good to see that he was rewarded again in this game for his recent uptick in form. Juventus’ bench had seven players available. Two were keepers. That’s not exactly plentiful options for Max Allegri to work with come the second half. At least no injuries happened. And as it turned out, Max ended up using every single one of those five outfield players off the bench. Those subs, especially the one we’re about to talk about, made sense. (Although, not sure about the Yildiz-for-Miretti swap for the simple reason of Kenan’s ability to make something out of nothing, but it all worked out in the end.) ........... Danilo’s cross on Vlahovic’s game-winning goal — bene, molto bene. That was a throwback to his fullback days. Just an assist that was put right on the money for its intended target. Something that was not so great? Juventus’ defending on the counterattack on Salernitana’s goal. It doesn’t take a tactical mastermind to see that leaving somebody wide open at the top of the box can end up in a bad way — and that’s exactly what happened. Juventus’ amount of possession through the first 10 minutes: 69%. Heh. Nice. ........... Another lineup question to ponder: Is Daniele Rugani better for this team right now than Federico Gatti? Consider the fact that it would push Danilo over to a more natural right sdie of the defense and it’s an interesting thing to ponder, folks. Who led Juve in touches? Danilo. Who led Juve in key passes? Danilo. Who had the best pass success rate of any Juve starter? Yeah, it was Danilo. ........... Quite the big day for the Juventus family: Men win late, Women win the Supercoppa late, Next Gen hang on late to beat our old “friend” Zdenek Zeman and Pescara. Not bad. Not bad at all, fam.

“We never give up” Vlahovic reacts to Juventus win against Salernitana Juventus secured a victory against Salernitana this evening, courtesy of a late goal from Dusan Vlahovic. Despite being the dominant side, the Bianconeri faced an early setback as Salernitana took the lead, causing frustration for Juventus before they managed to equalise. The team exerted significant effort to secure the winning goal, and it finally arrived late in the game, thanks to Vlahovic’s crucial contribution. ........... Speaking after the match, Vlahovic emphasised the team’s commitment to playing until the final minute and ensuring they come out victorious: “We never give up, we will give everything until the end. Then we’ll see how it goes. Scudetto? There are still 18 games to play, it’s very long. Our goal is to get into the Champions League. Match by match, then we’ll see.” ...........

Late Vlahovic strike earns Juventus all the points against stubborn Salernitana Just a few days after their impressive 6-1 victory in the Coppa Italia, Juventus faced Salernitana again, this time in Serie A, looking to secure another win. Salernitana seemed to have learned from their recent defeat and displayed a more resilient performance in the early stages of the game, determined to prove that they were not as vulnerable as they appeared days ago. The home side started strongly, maintaining good form throughout the first half. However, Salernitana, struggling in the relegation zone, faced a formidable Juventus side keen on asserting their championship aspirations. To the surprise of many, the home team took the lead in the 39th minute with an impressive strike from Giulio Maggiore. Heading into halftime, Juventus recognised the need to address the scoreline. Manager Max Allegri made two crucial changes at the interval, introducing Samuel Iling-Junior and Daniele Rugani. The former Chelsea prospect, Iling-Junior, made an immediate impact, levelling the score 20 minutes into the second half, taking advantage of Salernitana being reduced to ten men after their goalscorer was sent off. ........... In the first minute of added time, Dusan Vlahovic secured the winning goal for Juventus, further solidifying their pursuit of the Serie A championship. Overall, this was a satisfying, if not a convincing win. Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/late-vlahovic-strike-earns-juventus-all-the-points-against-stubborn-salernitana/

Evidentemente, Pessotto in quel periodo "rimpiangeva" ancora nella sua mente i trascorsi sul campo di calcio e non era ancora pronto ad aprire una nuova fase della sua vita.

Ma sai, la depressione é una malattia spesso non considerata tale. Cioé tutti sappiamo che il tumore é una malattia oppure, che so, la cirrosi epatica. Per quanto riguarda la depressione si pensa che le persone affette si siano lasciate andare, come scrivi tu. É un male subdolo perché causato da uno sbilanciamento di alcuni neurotrasmettitori ma anche da fattori esterni negativi (perdita del lavoro, fine di una relazione, decesso di un familiare). Questi fattori sono legati fra loro: situazione difficile = scompenso psicologico/psichico. Gli sportivi non hanno problemi economici e hanno tutto quello che si possa desiderare. É vero, ma hanno una spada di Damocle sulla loro testa: il tempo che passa. Questo problema ce l'abbiamo tutti in realtá ma per loro la fine della carriera arriva molto presto. Hanno dedicato la loro vita allo sport fin da bambini ma sentono che a un certo punto della loro vita non possono piú fornire le stesse prestazioni come prima e allora devono ritirarsi. Il pensiero di questa "fine" diventa per alcuni talmente ossessivo che provoca scompensi psichici. Lo stesso vale anche per quelli che si sono ritirati e non trovano un'altra passione che riempia le loro vite com'era prima lo sport. In sintesi, tutti noi andiamo in pensione dopo i 65 anni. Gli sportivi terminano la prima parte (e la piú importante) della loro vita sui 35 anni, alcuni prima, alcuni dopo. Questo scompiglio puó provocare degli scompensi molto pesanti, come vediamo.

Mi piacerebbe leggere il parere di un medico presente nel forum. Se non sbaglio gli stati depressivi sono dovuti (anche) a un basso livello di serotonina nei pazienti. Gli antidepressivi "moderni" bloccano appunto la perdita di serotonina ..... spiegato in termini semplicissimi.

É vero. Una fine tristissima per un grande calciatore, capitano della Roma.

Beh ma qualcosa la fanno quando smettono di giocare. Investono il denaro che hanno in qualche attivitá. Ma il fatto é che anche alcuni calciatori in attivitá vanno in depressione. Io capisco un 38enne che smette con il calcio e si rende conto che una parte importante della sua vita é terminata. Ma Gigi Buffon ha raccontato spesso che si alzava dal letto per andare ad allenarsi e le gambe gli tremavano.

Il denaro e la fama non sono tutto per tutti

La lettura di un articolo su Tuttosport riguardante la depressione di cui ha sofferto Thierry Henry mi ha fatto venire in mente di aprire questo topic. https://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/2024/01/08-120126236/_piangevo_ogni_giorno_henry_shock_l_ex_juve_in_lacrime_in_diretta Noi immaginiamo che i calciatori abbiano tutto quello che si possa desiderare: un lavoro appassionante, stipendi, donne, viaggi e vacanze di sogno. Eppure ci sono calciatori che sono caduti nel baratro della depressione. Ma come, diciamo noi, hanno tutto quello che si possa desiderare e sono depressi? Cosa dovremmo dire noi che ci alziamo presto al mattino per fare un lavoro che magari odiamo ma che é necessario per la nostra sopravvivenza e dell'eventuale nostra famiglia? Qualcuno lavora per 1000 euro al mese e questi fortunati sono depressi? I primi nomi che mi vengono in mente di calciatori con problemi depressivi sono: Buffon, Pessotto, Ilicic, Ronaldo il brasiliano, Adriano, Deissler. E ora anche Henry. Lascio ai miei ex-colleghi dello staff il compito eventualmente di spostare questa discussion in un'altra sezione.

Max Allegri has found the right position for Kenan Yildiz Max Allegri has revealed the position he believes is best for Kenan Yildiz as the youngster shines in the ranks of Juventus. Yildiz has recently been promoted to the Juve first team and has been in terrific form. The Turkish international is an exciting attacker who has been delivering goals for the Bianconeri in the last few weeks. ........... While we all know he plays in attack and scores some very fine goals, the question remains: What is the exact role in which he thrives best on the pitch? Ahead of his team’s next game, Allegri said: “I think he’s a second striker, he has quality and goals in his legs. I don’t think he can be a midfielder, at least not now.” ...........

Salernitana vs Juventus: Preview and Prediction Juventus will resume Serie A action as they meet Salernitana again with the aim of repeating their smashing performance. Salernitana will rue their luck about the fixtures, as they meet Juventus again only in the space of four days. That was their Coppa Italia clash, where Filippo Inzaghi may have had the odd hope to see his team fight it out away from the pressure of the league and the relegation zone. Instead, what Salernitana experienced was an absolute thrashing at the hands of Juventus, with a 6-1 scoreline. Now, Inzaghi must ensure there is no repeat of that performance or the scoreline as he looks for immediate revenge against the Bianconeri. However, the most crucial task for the manager would be to find a way to get some wins under their bag. Salernitana are bottom of the Serie A standings. Still, the minute differences in points mean that if their other relegation rivals lose and somehow Inzaghi’s men manage to take three points, then they will climb out of the bottom three. However, Juventus will want to continue what they started in midweek, as Massimiliano Allegri would have been delighted at the sight of his player scoring so many goals. The fact that after such a smashing performance, the Bianconeri get to play the same team again will undoubtedly boost the players and their confidence. ........... In fact, Allegri will want to crank up the pressure now and win their following Serie A clashes before they meet Inter Milan in Turin on February 5 in what could decide who would have the upper hand in the title race. Until then, Juventus will aim to win all their games, especially the upcoming one against Salernitana. Team News & Tactics Salernitana ........... Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Costil; Daniliuc, Gyomber, Fazio, Bradaric; Maggiore, Legowski; Candreva, Martegani, Tchaouna; Ikwuemesi Juventus Surprisingly, Massimiliano Allegri went with a strong lineup in the Coppa Italia tie against Salernitana and may not want to change too much. Alternatively, considering how easy it proved for the Bianconeri to breach their defences time and again, their manager might even consider rotation. Juventus will miss Manuel Locatelli, with the midfielder set to serve a suspension. The Italian international’s absence could see Allegri bring Hans Nicolussi Caviglia into the setup. In terms of absentees, Moise Kean, Mattia De Sciglio, and Alex Sandro will miss this encounter and more in the coming period. Meanwhile, Dutch defender Dean Huijsen seems poised to join Roma on loan. So, he will play no part in Allegri’s thinking ahead of the Salernitana game. Andrea Cambiaso and Filip Kostic should get the nod to start in the wing-back roles. Allegri will likely keep the partnership between Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa to spearhead the attack. Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cambiaso, McKennie, Nicolussi Caviglia, Rabiot, Kostic; Chiesa, Vlahovic Key Stats Juventus have won nine of their last 11 matches in Serie A. Juventus have won with a one-goal margin in eight of their last ten matches in Serie A. Juventus have scored at least two goals in their last five matches against Salernitana in all competitions. Salernitana have not won consecutive Serie A games since October 2022. Salernitana have kept only one clean sheet this season. Player to Watch Dusan Vlahovic The Serbian striker is yet to hit top form in another mixed start to a Serie A season. ........... Vlahovic must focus on his efforts to score goals and nothing else. His other aspects are strong enough. But for now, Juventus need all their attackers firing on all cylinders, particularly the Serbian. In games like this one against Salernitana, he might have the best chance to boost his confidence and get some strikes on board to kick-start a decent run. Prediction Salernitana 1-4 Juventus Considering what Juventus did to Salernitana in the 6-1 mauling during their Coppa Italia tie, many will come expecting a similar performance. The hosts will be short of confidence in this upcoming clash. But they might make a more significant effort to keep the Bianconeri from scoring too many strikes. Whether they will replicate the 6-1 scoreline or even better remains the question. But Juventus will get into the grove to prove another point. Hence, it is easy to assume the Turin giants will keep the scorecard ticking. But again, they might concede an odd goal at some stage in the game.

JUVENTUS COULD LOAN OUT MOISE KEAN IN JANUARY Serie A giants Juventus are considering the possibility of loaning out forward Moise Kean this month. ............. There is now an increasing possibility of Juve loaning out the Italian, whose space has been left even more limited after the emergence of Turkish talent Kenan Yildiz, who has recently scored in the Serie A and also in the Coppa Italia. Juve believe that Yildiz, despite his young age, presents a guarantee and they see him as a key part of the future. This will reduce the space for Kean .............

Juventus, Roma reach agreement on Dean Huijsen loan deal Turns out last weekend’s little post-game exchange between Juventus youngster Dean Huijsen and Roma manager Jose Mourinho was more than just a simple handshake. The young Dutchman who was widely expected to head to Frosinone on loan for the rest of the 2023-24 season come the new year won’t be joining the handful of Juve youngsters who are already there. Instead, Huijsen and his representation have pushed for a loan move to Mourinho’s Roma — and on Friday, that deal was finalized between the Giallorossi and Juventus, according to multiple reports out of Italy. Juventus will reportedly receive €700,000 as a loan fee for the dry loan, which will go down to €500,000 if Huijsen is to appear in at least 10 games for Roma, according to Goal Italia’s Romeo Agresti. There are also reports that young Roma winger Luigi Cherubini — who is out of contract at the end of the season and has showed no intentions of signing an extension — could be included in the deal. The 19-year-old Cherubini would join Juve’s primavera squad. Roma would, though, have a clause where they would receive 50% of any future sale. ............. The manner of which it all came about might irk some people, though. Things seemed pretty locked in with Frosinone even though Huijsen hadn’t traveled there to undergo his medical. Everything was agreed and it looked like Huijsen was about to head to a very good place for young players to develop at a club that doesn’t shy away from players his age. But the sudden change to Roma just seems ... out of nowhere and maybe something that’s a little off-putting. These things can happen, but not all that frequently when one deal is pretty much done and agreed to. No matter what, though, Huijsen has made the trip to Rome rather than Frosinone for his medical exams and is about to spend the next six months in the Italian capital. Let’s hope that it goes as well as a loan spell this season has gone for a certain Argentinian who would have been his teammate at Frosinone.

Capello discusses how Juventus can overtake Inter Milan in the title race Juventus has managed to stay in close pursuit of Inter Milan in the Serie A title race, keeping the Nerazzurri under pressure. Despite Inter’s status as the best team on paper and their aspirations to dominate the league this season, Juventus has refused to allow them to run away with the title. ........... Although Juventus may not have started the season as favorites for the title, their superb form has allowed them to challenge for the top spot. According to Fabio Capello, this sustained performance by Max Allegri’s team could put pressure on Inter and create an opportunity for Juventus to compete for and potentially win the Serie A title. “Inter and Juve are both equipped to win the title. The Nerazzurri could lose some of the grit and determination they have shown so far due to all the praise they give them, including me. In these cases, it may happen that you fall asleep. However, it is unlikely to happen to Juve, Allegri is always on the ball. I thought they could count on the market, but instead, they fish internally”...........

Juventus 6 - Salernitana 1: Initial reaction and random observations No, you read that headline right. That actually was the final score. It went just as Max Allegri drew it up Thursday night. ... OK, so maybe that’s not how Max Allegri drew it up, but when you find yourself down 1-0 after all of 60 seconds in the kind of stunning fashion that Juventus did against Salernitana, there’s really only one option you have from the second minute on: bounce back. Oh boy, did Juve bounce back. In one of the more lopsided final scores we’ve seen from Juventus dating back to Allegri’s first stint as manager in Turin, the Bianconeri got themselves back up off the mat after Federico Gatti’s massive error on one of the first passes of the night and recorded a dominant 6-1 win over Salernitana to advance to the Coppa Italia quarterfinals. It was, frankly, something we’ve seen few times these last few years — you know, the kind of refreshing performance in which grinding out a result and digging deep to defending a one-goal lead wasn’t necessary for the entirety of the second half. And those last two goals from Kenan Yildiz and Timothy Weah? Ahhhhhh, the cherry on top of a fun game to watch. ........... But when you look at it, the statistics from this one are just as one-sided as the final score: Shots: Juventus 22, Salernitana 2 Shots on goal: Juventus 12, Salernitana 2 Shots inside the box: Juventus 14, Salernitana 1 Possession: Juventus 57%, Salernitana 43% That, my friends, is simple domination. It’s something we rarely see from Juventus. It’s the combination of Juve playing damn well (after the first minute) and Salernitana being a total mess of a team. It was the perfect storm once the opening-minute mistake took place, and it involved Salernitana recording all of one shot after they scored. We don’t see Juve have these kinds of offensive nights much during Allegri 2.0, so it makes it even that much more of a good time when you consider just a few days ago they were beating Roma by, you guessed it, just a single goal. ........... RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Kenan Yildiz. What? You want me to say more? OK, here’s more: Kenan Yildiz is good and he is forcing the issue when it comes to play time. Sure, he came on when the game was pretty much in hand and the opponent with the worst defense in the league was already defeated, but this dude just wants to take defender’s souls — and he’s doing it. Speaking of somebody who has gotten a chance to play more and more in the last month or two and absolutely ran with it? That would be Andrea Cambiaso, who is now getting into “he’s gotta start no matter what” territory. It wasn’t just the goal and assist in this game, but it’s the growing body of work and what he brings to either wing he’s playing on. Cambiaso showed potential during his loan spell at Bologna last season. Now we’re seeing it in Turin. ........... That was Weah’s first goal in a Juventus shirt, by the way. That’s gotta be one of the best first goals with Juventus that we’ve seen in recent years, right? It has to be. Federico Chiesa was an absolute madman against Salernitana. Throw out all the caveats that you want about it being Salernitana, but that was the kind of Chiesa game that he really did need. He did just about everything right outside of scoring a goal. Dude had SIX key passes and 52 touches despite playing just 65 minutes. That’s impressive as hell. Manuel Locatelli touched the ball 102 times. ONE-HUNDRED AND TWO TIMES! Arek Milik was another one of those guys like Chiesa who didn’t score but had a great game. With Chiesa doing his usual drifting out wide thing, Milik really held down the center of the attacking line well. Just an overall really good performance. This was the chance for Samuel Iling-Junior to impress and he didn’t exactly do that. Oh, and we get a second straight Thursday night with the Coppa Italia. Juventus hosts Frosinone and all of our friends there in the Coppa quarterfinals next week. Should be a good one. In conclusion, Juventus scored six goals. In one game. That was fun. Even scoring half that amount in a couple of days should result in even more fun. Let’s do it!

Si sono solo bene addestrati. Non può essere solo un caso che capitano tutte alla stessa squadra A favore dell'Inter e contro la Juventus. Solo un cretino puó continuare a credere alla regolaritá di questo campionato.

C'é del marcio in Danimarca ...... o era in Italia?

Ma perché. questo campionato é regolare? C'é bisogno di un'indagine?
