Allegri could grant Juventus teenager his senior debut against Salernitana Juventus coach Max Allegri could unleash Joseph Nonge in the upcoming battles against Salernitana. ........... The Belgian midfielder has also been receiving call-ups for the senior squad’s matches in recent months. However, he has yet to make his debut. But this could change rather quickly according to journalist Massimo Pavan. The source claims that the 18-year-old could take the field this week in one of the two encounters against Salernitana. The Bianconeri will host the Southerners on Thursday in the Coppa Italia Round of 16. They will then return the visit straight away for a Serie A fixture on Sunday at the Arecchi Stadium in Salerno. Pavan believes Allegri could take the opportunity to launch Nonge while rotating his ranks. The Belgian started his career at Anderlecht before joining Juventus in the summer of 2021. His first ordeal was to prove himself with the U17 squad. ........... Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/allegri-could-grant-juventus-teenager-his-senior-debut-against-salernitana/

Barzagli insists Juventus sent an important signal to Inter Milan Andrea Barzagli believes that Juventus sent a strong message to Inter Milan with their victory against AS Roma in Serie A at the weekend. Despite not beginning the season as strongly equipped as Inter, Juventus has emerged as a formidable challenger for the league title, showcasing their status as one of the top clubs in Europe this season. ........... Understanding the importance of defeating Roma to stay close to the top of the standings, Juventus achieved the desired result. Barzagli views this victory as more than just three points—a statement that resonates with Inter Milan about Juventus’s serious contention for the league title. ........... “The Bianconeri’s journey is excellent, this year shows exponential growth, the environment has been brought back together, at the Stadium there is energy, the fans are behind this team. Juventus has grown, you can see it in the embrace at the end of the match, giving a very important signal to Inter.” ...........

Capello expects Juventus to fight for the Scudetto until the end Juventus demonstrated their determination to contend for the league title by defeating AS Roma in Serie A yesterday. The Bianconeri are currently challenging Inter Milan for the top spot, surprising many as few had expected them to be in contention at this stage of the season. ........... Under the guidance of Max Allegri, Juventus is gradually returning to their best form, and their recent performances have been impressive. Following their victory over AS Roma, Fabio Capello has expressed confidence that Juventus will remain in the title race until the end. ........... “The victory against Roma is important, it shortens the distance at the top, but I remain with my opinion: regardless of the ranking, I still don’t see a real head-to-head. “For me, Inter are still racing on themselves: if they play as they know how, Inzaghi ‘s team is the favourite, simply because they are stronger. Of course, Allegri still talks about the Champions League objective, but he believes in the Scudetto and he is right to believe in it: Juve’s DNA, which I know well, says so, his team will fight until the end. And he can only get better”. ........... Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/capello-expects-juventus-to-fight-for-the-scudetto-until-the-end/

Will Yildiz continue benching Chiesa at Juventus? Kenan Yildiz earned his second consecutive start for Juventus against AS Roma yesterday, this time relegating Federico Chiesa to the bench. Yildiz received his full debut in the previous game against Frosinone as Juventus sought to nurture the Turkish talent. Max Allegri has been impressed with the youngster since his arrival at the club, leading to his promotion to the first team. Juve was pleased with Yildiz finding the back of the net against Frosinone, possibly influencing his inclusion in the crucial fixture against AS Roma while Chiesa started on the bench. ........... Max Allegri: “Federico had two good training sessions, he had this pain in the knee tendon last week, so I decided to start Yildiz who did very well against Frosinone. Chiesa can be an important option off the bench.” ........... Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/will-yildiz-continue-benching-chiesa-at-juventus/

MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI CREATES NEW RECORD IN JUVENTUS’ WIN OVER ROMA Juventus’ 1-0 win against Roma helped their manager Massimiliano Allegri create a new record in Serie A. ............ Allegri is the only Serie A coach to have won consecutively five Scudetto and four Coppa Italia titles. Still, despite his success, he has been subject to criticism for setting up his teams to play for a 1-0 victory, even if it needs to be a grinding task. The Italian manager himself addressed all that fuss by saying that “winning 1-0 with suffering” was his way of managing back in 2022. With the narrow win over Roma last night, Juventus consolidated their position at 2nd place and Massimiliano Allegri created a new record as he has now registered 76 victories ending with a scoreline of 1-0 across his Serie A managerial career. ............

Juventus held meetings with the agent of out-of-contract Lazio star Juventus have reportedly met the agent of Lazio star Felipe Anderson on a couple of occasions as they study a move for the Brazilian. The winger has been a key player for Maurizio Sarri’s side since his return to the Italian capital in 2021. However, his contract with the Biancocelesti expires at the end of the season, leaving his future up in the air. The Bianconeri are thus entertaining a move for the 30-year-old who could become a free agent if Lazio fail to convince him to sign a renewal. ............ Juventus Football director Cristiano Giuntoli is an admirer of the former West Ham player. The Bianconeri hierarchy has reportedly held meetings with Anderson’s sister (who acts as his agent) to explore the possibility of bringing the winger to Turin. But while some sources claim that the two parties have already struck an agreement, CdS denies these stories, insisting that no accord has been found just yet. ............

Szczesny doesn’t hide Scudetto ambitions: “I’m not fighting for fourth or third place” Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny sets high ambitions following his side’s win over Roma on Saturday night. The Polish custodian didn’t have an awful lot to do between the posts against his former employers. However, he was always alert to the danger and did well to collect a threatening curler from Paulo Dybala. The 33-year-old rounded off the year by adding another clean sheet to the tally while helping the club cut the deficit with Inter to just two points. Therefore, Szczesny feels that this is the right time for Juventus to start aiming for the Scudetto rather than setting lower objectives. “It’s still early. We’re two points behind, but this year, I’m not fighting for fourth or third place,” said the Poland international. “We are in Juve, if you want to play at these levels you aim for the maximum objectives. Inter are strong, but we can compete with them.” ............... “We are not a team that plays beautiful football but we have the spirit and unity of the group. ...............

Bologna not willing to release Juventus transfer target in January Bologna are determined to maintain the services of Juventus transfer target Lewis Ferguson until the end of the season. The Rossoblu are enjoying a great campaign thus far, albeit they suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Udinese this weekend. For his part, Ferguson has cemented himself as a key player for the Rossoblu since joining the club in the summer of 2022. This season, the Scotsman has contributed with four goals and as many assists in 19 appearances across all competitions. ............ The Emilians are hoping to secure qualification to a European competition next season. Thus, they don’t intend to deprive themselves of one of their pillars. The management of Bologna promised coach Thiago Motta to keep Ferguson at least until the end of the season. However, the situation could drastically change in the summer, with the club willing to entertain offers for the Scotland international. ............

Massimiliano Allegri to block Juventus move for Man City's Kalvin Phillips? Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has reportedly vetoed the idea of a January move for Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips. The England international is expected to head for the exit door during the winter window after being deemed surplus to requirements by Citizens head coach Pep Guardiola. ............ Juventus were understood to have been the frontrunners for Phillips's signature during the January market, and it was recently claimed that talks had been held over a potential loan agreement. Engine room additions will therefore be priority number one for Juve in January, but according to Calciomercato, Allegri is not sold on the idea of bringing Phillips to the Allianz Stadium. ............ Phillips's agent is already believed to have made contact with Juventus, but the report claims that no official negotiations have started due to Allegri's doubts over a transfer. The Bianconeri head coach allegedly feels that the 28-year-old would not be good fit for his system and is instead favouring a move for Tottenham Hotspur's Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who has also struggled for Premier League game time this season. Hojbjerg has supposedly been told that he is free to leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in January, in spite of the fact that Senegal's Pape Sarr and Mali's Yves Bissouma are due to leave for the African Cup of Nations next month. With Rodrigo Bentancur also nursing an ankle injury, Tottenham are unlikely to let Hojbjerg depart without signing a replacement, although they are now rumoured to be closing in on the capture of Chelsea's Conor Gallagher. ............

Pundit insists Juventus deserves more credit after beating Roma Juventus has hardly been given credit for the amazing season they are having, with most people fixated on their defensive style of play. ........... The men in black and white have continued to show that they are one of the top clubs in the country regardless of the situation in which they find themselves. Juve could win the league, and on current form, they will certainly finish inside the Serie A top four. But they do not get enough credit for the performances that they deliver, and pundit Alessandro Santarelli says they are performing miracles. ........... “It’s a beautiful victory, which I dedicate to many people who always speak badly of Juventus, and let me say that this team should only be applauded for what it is doing. At the moment it is a miracle what these guys are doing. There is no best on the pitch, it is a team victory, of Juventus as a group, with a signature, that of Massimiliano Allegri”. ...........

Allegri: Juve win pushes Roma and chasing pack further back Coach’s comments after Juve earn a well-deserved win over Mourinho’s bunch Speaking after the game, Allegri paid tribute to his opposing number. The Bianconeri have narrowed the gap with leaders Inter Milan back down to two points. “Juve back in the Champions League. In fact, this was a very important result, because we pushed Roma and the others in the chasing pack further behind us, so we have consolidated that advantage and are closer to mathematically securing Champions League qualification.” Read more -> https://www.blackwhitereadallover.com/2023/12/31/24020281/juventus-1-0-roma-serie-a-match-recap-reaction-allegri-comments-scudetto-race-inter-favorites

Mourinho admits Roma were impotent against Juventus: “Impossible against the Turin wall” Roma coach Jose Mourinho felt his side could do little after conceding a goal against Juventus who boast an impregnable defense. The Bianconeri took the lead early in the second half when Dusan Vlahovic freed up Adrien Rabiot with a backheel assist. The French kept his composure to beat Rui Patricio. ........... For his part, Mourinho was relatively quiet on the touchline, avoiding some of his usual theatrics. ........... So after the match, the Special One didn’t try to come up with alibis to justify the result. Instead, he simply admitted that Roma were helpless against the Juventus defensive wall. “In the second half, it was impossible to find spaces against the Turin wall,” said Mourinho in his post-match press conference. “Even the Juventus stadium is educated on this matter. They know that the team plays to win, even when sitting deep. ........... Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/mourinho-admits-roma-were-impotent-against-juventus-impossible-against-the-turin-wall/

Rabiot admits Juventus is eyeing the Scudetto after defeating Roma Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot has admitted that they are thinking of winning the Scudetto title this season after defeating AS Roma in Serie A tonight. Juve has been the closest challenger to Inter Milan in the race for the league title this season. ........... The Romans have been performing well this season and are also challenging for a top-four spot, so we expected the game to be a tough fixture. The Bianconeri had difficulties but won thanks to a solitary goal from Rabiot, and the midfielder admits afterwards that they want to win the league. He said: “We already believed in it, even more so tonight and in the coming months, it’s a goal for me and for everyone. We did very well, but there’s still a long way to go.” ...........

Juventus 1 - Roma 0: Initial reaction and random observations One last corto muso special in 2023 for everybody to enjoy. On this night, it was the team that is, once again, putting league leaders Inter under some serious heat. Juventus were able to grind out another 1-0 win much to the delight of their manager, making Rabiot’s goal stand tall and moving within two points of Inter at the top of the Serie A table following their draw at Genoa 24 hours earlier. The goal was, in a way, a flip of the script from the last couple of weeks when Juve allowed goals right at the start of the second half and either couldn’t recover or needed some magic to make things happen. Instead of allowing it, Juve got the early second-half goal and then Roma couldn’t make much of anything really happen to tie things up. The end result was not just a win over a rival and not just finally taking advantage of a rare slip up from Inter, but it also means that Juve head into the new year looking at these kinds of situations in the Serie A table: Juve are now seven points clear of Milan in third. Juve are now 10 points clear of Fiorentina in fourth. For added measure, they’re now 12 points clear of Bologna in fifth place. Sure, the Scudetto hype will only intensify with this win over Roma, but considering the fact that the main goal coming into the season — and still very much is from Allegri’s point of view — was to finish in the top four, Juve’s sitting damn pretty heading into 2024. ........... The shot chart may say that Juventus had a slim 13-11 advantage, but when it came to the quality of those chances, there’s no denying that it was Allegri’s squad that had the better of them. And even though Rabiot was the only one who actually converted, there was a good amount of the time when Roma were simply reverting to hoofing in crosses toward Romelu Lukaku or to somebody on the back post (in theory) and hoping for something to happen. And when Lukaku touches the ball all of 26 times and has an xG of 0.01 (!!!) because he’s the latest striker to be locked in Bremer’s Brazilian pocket or Paulo Dybala really can’t do much of anything because the defense is playing well, that’s how you get it done. I get that corto muso is not to everybody’s liking. I really do. But on this night and in a battle between managers that love to play this way rather than a more progressive and up-tempo way, the first team to score was the only one to do so. It seemed like it was written that way hours before kickoff even arrived, and that’s how it ended up going. Funny how that works out sometimes. RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Gonna be thinking about that flick from Dusan Vlahovic on Rabiot’s goal the rest of the weekend. It was a beautiful thing. ........... Very glad Paulo Dybala didn’t open the scoring in the kind of fashion with that effort with the outside of his left foot that would have had him leading pretty much every Serie A highlight package for the next week. Also, I have no idea what Danilo was doing on that attempted clearance. Heading it straight to a Roma player in that kind of fashion — in the penalty area no less! — seemed like a recipe for disaster. Thankfully Dybala’s shot was just a foot or two wide of goal. Also, I still miss you very much, Paulo. Seeing you in Roma colors, even a year and a half later, is still weird to these eyes. ........... Gianluca Mancini is always innocent. At least in his mind he is. It’s also surprising that Mancini wasn’t the first player to be shown a yellow card. It was our old friend Leandro Paredes! And in the 68th minute, too — which, considering some of the fouls in this one, is a bit of a surprise. Roma’s first shot on target, through Dybala, came in the 71st minute. It was an easy save in the end for Wojciech Szczesny despite the fact that it came about through another questionable clearance attempt from Danilo. It wasn’t a goal, but at least it gave us a really cool picture: Overall, though, this was a really good outing from Vlahovic. He probably would have had a goal in the first half if not for a great block from (ugh) Mancini and was really working his ass off to be involved in the build-up and other aspects. Essentially, you want to see a complete, all-around performance from Vlahovic even when he doesn’t score, this is the one to look at. He was playing with confidence and it really did show. More of this, please. We’re now going on straight Saturdays in which Weston McKennie has been denied his first goal of the season. It was the woodwork last weekend against Frosinone, then it was a big kick save from Rui Patricio against Roma. Just so, so close. I mean, if there’s anybody who deserves a goal for the way they’ve played this season, it’s McKennie. With all of the goal scorers that Juve have had this season — it’s 12 of ‘em! — it might be a bit of a surprise that McKennie isn’t one of them. ........... An observation I’m stealing straight from Chuks: Very nice of Dean Huijsen to go over and shake Mourinho’s hand right after the final whistle sounded like he is just another one of Juventus’ assistant coaches. They grow them polite in the Netherlands. Good work, Dean. ........... He didn’t have a goal to his name, but this was another positive step for Kenan Yildiz. Hopefully with Federico Chiesa’s knee being what it is, Allegri will slow play it like he has in the past and the result with be Yildiz getting more playing time these next few weeks. Throw in a Coppa Italia matchup in a few days and the chances will be there for him to make a big impact as long as Allegri does his part. ........... In conclusion, winning the final game of 2023 was cool. Getting the bonus of the camera cutting to a grumpy Jose Mourinho on the sidelines through the second half made it even better. Happy new year to everybody just for those pictures.

Juventus Player Ratings vs Roma: Rabiot’s Strike Sets Title Race Ablaze Juventus (3-5-2) Wojciech Szczesny – 6.5 ........... Federico Gatti – 6.5 A calm and composed display at the back from the former Frosinone man who supported Bremer in his duel against Romelu Lukaku. Gleison Bremer – 7 The Brazilian didn’t put a foot wrong throughout the match. He’s one of the few men who have the strength to match Lukaku in a physical duel. He Beat the Belgian for almost every ball and managed to nullify his threat. Danilo – 7 The Juventus captain had a couple of scares, including a weak clearance that almost gifted Dybala a goal, but they aren’t enough to blemish what was a superb display at the back. Made a string of timely interceptions and was simply brilliant in duels. Timothy Weah – 6 ........... Weston McKennie – 6.5 The Texan will be kicking himself for squandering a late chance in front of goal. Nevertheless, it was another hard-fought outing from the midfielder who ran his socks off for the entire match and was hardly able to stand in the end. Manuel Locatelli – 7 ........... Adrien Rabiot – 7.5 The Frenchman didn’t only help Juventus win the battle in the middle of the park, but also scored the winning goal with a clinical touch. Rui Patricio was rushing in his direction, but Rabiot was clever enough to place the ball at the near corner. Filip Kostic – 6.5 ........... Kenan Yildiz – 6.5 While he didn’t score on his second start for Juventus, it was yet another impressive display from the Turkish teenager. Kept his composure against the naughty Gianluca Mancini who kept fouling him for as long as he lasted on the pitch. Combined well with his teammates and tried his luck with a decent shot that whistled past the post. Dusan Vlahovic – 6.5 The former Fiorentina bomber didn’t score this time – albeit he came close – but he certainly proved his worth to the cause by providing the assist for Rabiot’s winner with a deft backheel. Gave Diego Llorente some nightmares while trying to grab a hold of him. Substitutes Federico Chiesa – 6.5 An exciting cameo from the returning Juventus forward who teed up McKennie with a fabulous ball. He also scored but it was disallowed for a clear offside position.

Juventus sees off AS Roma to close the gap on Inter Milan In a crucial Serie A showdown, Juventus emerged victorious with a hard-fought 1-0 win against AS Roma at the Allianz Stadium. The hero of the day was Adrien Rabiot, whose decisive strike propelled the Bianconeri to secure three valuable points. The victory became even more significant as Juventus seized the opportunity to close the gap on Inter Milan, who had dropped points in their match against Genoa. The much-anticipated clash unfolded as a tactical battle, with both teams vying for supremacy. Paulo Dybala’s return to his former stomping ground and Romelu Lukaku’s chance to prove a point added an extra layer of intensity to the contest. The first half saw both clubs cancelling each other out, providing few scoring opportunities for the eager fans. As expected from managers of the calibre of Jose Mourinho and Max Allegri, the breakthrough came just two minutes into the second half. Rabiot found the back of the net from the near post, breaking the deadlock and giving Juventus the crucial lead. ........... Despite Roma’s persistent efforts, they couldn’t breach Juventus’s defence. Max Allegri’s men held their ground, securing a clean sheet and a vital 1-0 victory. The win not only showcased Juventus’s defensive prowess but also their ability to capitalise on critical moments in the match.

Juventus vs. Roma match preview The final game of 2023 sees Juventus host Roma in a meeting of two managers who love a low-scoring battle. Once Juventus got through the hosting the reigning Serie A champions at the Allianz Stadium earlier this month, the schedule finally gave the Bianconeri a bit of a breather. The trend of big games coming every of week let up, with opponents in the bottom half of the table set to be next up on the schedule between the middle of December and the beginning of February. Except for one game. That one game was the man that everybody loves to hate, Jose Mourinho, and Roma making their way to Turin in the final fixture of the 2023 calendar year. ........... And there’s this little note, too: Juventus can, with a win on Saturday night, can pull closer to Inter after their 1-1 draw with Genoa — yes, that same team that Juve weren’t able to beat just a couple of weeks ago — on Friday night at the Marassi. (Thanks to Radu Dragusin for that standout performance, by the way. It’s really appreciated.) The difference between first and second is currently at five points. With a Juve win, it’s down to just two points and a rather favorable strength of schedule awaiting the Bianconeri in the new year if they can take advantage of Inter’s first draw against domestic opposition in a month. ........... Saturday night has a good chance to not exactly be the pinnacle of modern football knowing that i’s two guys who love to grind out wins who are calling the shots in the form of Allegri and Mourinho. But it’s also the task of Juventus’ defense to try and slow down Lukaku, who has scored in each of his last three games. (And if Dybala plays ... that’s another piece to add to the puzzle to try and stop.) Despite the fact that Roma’s form has been absolutely all over the place so far this season, they’re still a dangerous team with who they have leading the line for them. The chance to end 2023 with a big win and getting back within serious striking distance of Inter is very much out there for the taking. Just what’s left to see is if Allegri’s squad can grind out one more victory before the January slate of games — and the beginning of a potential Coppa Italia run! — arrives come the beginning of the new work week. ........... TEAM NEWS Andrea Cambiaso is suspended for Roma’s visit to Turin due to yellow card accumulation. The other two players who were also feared to potentially have some sort of injury coming out of the Frosinone win, Manuel Locatelli and Weston McKennie, are all good to go. Federico Chiesa, who stayed back in Turin last weekend, has recovered from the minor knee injury he was dealing with and is back in the squad. Whether or not he is deemed good to go when it comes to the starting lineup remains to be seen. Allegri said that he is still trying to decide who starts between Chiesa and Kenan Yildiz. Allegri also said that he has yet to decide between starting McKennie or Timothy Weah out wide despite there being a lack of options in the center of the midfield. Three different Juventus players are one yellow card away from having to serve a one-game suspension: Locatelli, Danilo and Federico Gatti. ...........

Official Juventus team to face Roma Juventus welcome Roma to the Allianz Stadium this evening and this is the team that Max Allegri has selected to face Jose Mourinho’s men.

Crollo improvviso dei felsinei di Motta.

Acquistato per 5 milioni Vasilije Adzic, centrocampista offensivo montenegrino di 17 anni. Secondo il quotidiano inglese The Guardian é uno dei migliori prospetti mondiali nati nel 2006. Il ragazzo é diciassettenne ma gioca nel Montenegro under-21. Sembra un giocatore molto promettente. Speriamo bene.
