Socrates

Allegri Badoglio

Sí é vero ma non salta peró mai nemmeno l'uomo stasera. Forse é confuso dai compiti che gli ha affidato il mister ma anche, forse, dal fatto di giocare contro la Fiorentina.

Chiesa purtroppo fuori dal gioco. 5 palloni toccati, 0 tiri in porta, 0 dribbling. Ho l'impressione che senti troppo la partita contro la sua ex squadra.

Official Juventus team to face Fiorentina – Chiesa starts A win for Juventus today, away at Fiorentina, would bring them within two points of league leaders Inter Milan, and this is the team that Max Allegri has selected to achieve that goal.

Official: Fiorentina vs Juventus to be played tonight despite calls for postponement In the last few days, several regions in Italy have been ravaged by floods. Tuscany has been the most affected area in the country, putting tonight’s encounter between Fiorentina and Juventus at risk. Many people have been calling for the postponement of the encounter, arguing that the circumstances are far from perfect for the match to go on as normal. At least six persons have lost their lives in the Italian peninsula, while thousands have been affected by the heavy rainstorm. ........... The committee argues that there’s no viable reason to delay the encounter. “Concerning the Fiorentina-Juventus football match scheduled for this evening at the Artemio Franchi stadium in Florence, L’Osservatorio on sporting events of the Department of Public Security, having taken note of the decisions of the Football League of Serie A and having consulted the Provincial Public Security Authorities of Florence, has assessed that from the point of view of public order and security, which falls within the competence of the body and of the Public Security Authorities themselves, there are no reasons for imposing a ban and therefore postpone the match to another date” ...........

Bella parata di Tek

In Italia (ma non solo, vedi Neymar, Vinicius ecc.) i giocatori si tuffano e fanno finta di aver preso un colpo in faccia. Una cosa vergognosa degna di bambini viziati. Oggi ho visto a tratti la partita dell'Ajax del campionato olandese. I giocatori subiscono falli ma si rialzano subito per cercare di recuperare il pallone, poi l'arbitro fischia il calcio di punizione.

In 33 minuti, 3 palloni toccati.

Ma Chiesa gioca?

Alla faccia di Commisso

FABIO MIRETTI 0-1

Gente normale rimarrebbe colpita ma loro non sono persone normali.

Ragazzi, ci sono gli ultras viola in curva Fiesole?

Fiorentina vs Juventus Preview: Probable Lineups, Prediction, Tactics, Team News & Key Stats Juventus have scored just 16 goals in Serie A this season, the least of the sides currently occupying the top five spots in the league. However, they have conceded a mere six goals, with the defence holding fast. In fact, Juventus have kept seven clean sheets in their opening ten games, more than they have ever managed before at this stage of the campaign. Fiorentina will need to be at their clinical best to get the better of their vaunted opponents. ............ Team News & Tactics ACF Fiorentina Fiorentina are coming off a frustrating loss to Lazio but should be fired up to face arch-rivals Juventus. Both teams played out a 1-1 draw last season in the corresponding fixture that also saw Luka Jovic miss a penalty. The home side will be keen to put the record straight this time and will also want to snap their two game losing streak. A victory against Juventus will not just give them bragging rights but also momentum that can be built upon. More so, Fiorentina will also welcome former duo Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa to the Artemio Franchi Stadium. Both players should expect a very ‘generous’ welcome from the Viola faithful. The duo could start upfront against their former side. ............ Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Terracciano; Parisi, Martinez Quarta, Milenkovic, Biraghi; Duncan, Arthur; Gonzalez, Bonaventura, Ikone; Beltran Juventus Massimiliano Allegri is dealing with several injuries in his roster, and he deserves credit for ensuring Juventus stay in the hunt for a first Scudetto in four years. Defensive solidity forms the foundations of the Bianconeri’s fortunes and so far, they have gotten off to a fine start this season. With just two points separating them from league leaders Inter Milan heading into the weekend, one could argue that the Turin giants are back in contention. ............ The visitors are likely to line up in a 5-3-2 formation, with Wojciech Szczesny in goal. He will be protected by the centre-back trio of Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer and Daniele Rugani. Filip Kostic and Andrea Cambiaso should provide the width from the wing-back positions. The duo will also be expected to drop deeper and form a back five should Fiorentina seize the initiative. The midfield trio of Fabio Miretti, Manuel Locatelli and Adrien Rabiot will hope to set the narrative in the middle of the park and dictate the tone of the game. Former Fiorentina duo Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic will start upfront and will hope to silence their former supporters on the night. Probable Lineup (5-3-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Rugani; Cambiaso, Miretti, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Chiesa, Vlahovic Key Stats Juventus have defeated Fiorentina 80 times in Serie A so far. La Viola have not experienced more league defeats to any other side in the Italian top flight. Fiorentina are unbeaten in their last four home games against Juventus in Serie A. This is their longest such run since a 10 match streak from 1983-1992. A scoreless loss on the night will see Fiorentina lose three consecutive games without finding the back of the net for the first time since 2019. A scoreless night out will see Fiorentina go two consecutive home games without scoring for the first time since 2019. Juventus have kept seven clean sheets in their opening 10 Serie A games this season, their bets such start in history. Player to Watch Dusan Vlahovic The former Fiorentina man has not hit the same numbers at Juventus but remains the visitors ace striker on the night. ............ Prediction Fiorentina 1-1 Juventus With neither side really hitting the zenith of attacking nous, it promises to be a closely-fought contest with few goals in between. There should be no love lost between the arch-rivals and the game is likely to be a heated encounter.

Allegri: Juventus playing Fiorentina is always exciting Coach’s comments as game scheduled to go on despite heavy flooding in the Tuscan region Juventus travel to Florence to take on Fiorentina on Sunday with both sides attempting to cement their European credentials. There is still a doubt that the game will go on given the flooding in the Tuscany region that has led to deaths and damage as a result of Storm Ciaran. Speaking during his pre-match press conference coach Massimiliano Allegri started off with his condolences. “It’s always a good match due to the teasing between the two teams, especially the two fanbases. Playing in Florence is always exciting, we will find a strong team even if they come from two defeats. “They’re one of the best equipped teams in the league because they have a good squad with technical and physical players. I believe they are a rival in the fight for the top four places, this year they have set up a really excellent team. “They have Kouamé on the left, Bonaventura who is doing extraordinary things, Arthur, who I had no doubt about, has recovered well from the injury and is doing very well. We know that It will be a very difficult match against a technically very good team.” “We’re a Juve that have alternated good games with less good ones, also depending on the opponent. We work every day to grow and build a solid and strong team. “We have to improve the scoring percentage, on this we need to improve in finishing and team effectiveness. Our strength must be that of being united between now and the end of the season.” .........

Soule responds to rumours that he could return to Juventus in January Matias Soule has responded to the rumours that he might return to Juventus in the January transfer window. The youngster is spending this season on loan at Frosinone from his parent club and has been one of the finest players in the Italian top flight. ............ Juve is seriously tempted to cut his loan move short and bring him back to the club when the winter transfer window opens. ............ Soule said: “I read something about a return in January, but I don’t think about anything. My mind is here on Frosinone, we play every three days and this doesn’t make me think much, but I don’t want it either because I don’t know if in January, though There’s a long way to go in June, so I’m calm.” ............

Juventus-Fiorentina still set to be played despite severe flooding in Tuscany There’s been so much rain that the streets look more like rivers. If you were to do a simple search for videos of what is going on in Tuscany right now, you would think it’s something out of a blockbuster movie that is about trying to get out of a truly horrific situation. The thing is, the flooding going on in Tuscany isn’t made by CGI or from some Hollywood scriptwriter’s brain — it’s most definitely real life. Unfortunately, the beat, as of now, appears to be going on. As of Friday night turning to Saturday morning in Italy, Juventus’ trip to Florence to face Fiorentina in a Sunday night showdown at the Franchi is a go. The flooding in the area of Tuscany appears to not be a deterrent to force any sort of postponement, with the Mayor of Florence Dario Nardella saying that “the match is not expected to be postponed, but the situation will be monitored between now and the next few hours.” Other than Fiorentina President Rocco Commisso issuing a brief statement, neither club has given any hints as to whether there’s even a postponement being considered for Sunday’s game. There doesn’t appear to be much of a respite when it comes to the weather over the course of the weekend. Rain is set to be ever-present Saturday, it is set to be ever-present Sunday, and that’s probably on the more optimistic of forecasts considering what has happened in Tuscany earlier in the week. ........................... In a clear sign of solidarity with Tuscany, Fiorentina ultras from the Curva Fiesole have asked officials that Sunday night’s matchup be postponed. ...........................

'Our city is completely on its knees'- Fiorentina fans demand Serie A clash with Juventus be postponed amid floods There are devastating floods in Florence and Fiorentina fans are calling for their clash against Juventus to be postponed due to the situation. WHAT HAPPENED? After leaving the UK, Storm Ciaran made its way across Europe and struck Italy, especially the Tuscany area, where six confirmed deaths have already occurred. Fans of Fiorentina have requested that the match against Juventus, originally planned for Sunday at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, be postponed because the city of Florence has also been severely affected. The mayor of Florence announced earlier today that the game will go ahead as scheduled and Serie A also agreed and decided to hold a minute of silence for the deaths. ................. The Fiorentina ultras, the Curva Fiesole, put out a statement reading: ............... "In a clear, decisive and categorical fashion, the Curva Fiesole ask that the match be postponed, so that the energy and resources are dedicated exclusively to our people who are struggling and not to put on a sporting event. "We demand respect or the victims, their families, for those who have lost everything in just a few hours and now feel abandoned, without light or electricity, surrounded by water." .................

Rabiot’s mum insists it is too early to talk about a new deal Juventus is keen on Adrien Rabiot signing a new contract, extending his stay with the club beyond this season. French midfielder Rabiot agreed to a contract extension in the previous transfer window after letting his previous contract run down, and Juventus is eager to keep him. ................. His mother, Veronique, who also serves as his agent, has stated that it is too early to discuss his future at this point. She said: “It’s too early to talk about it. At the right moment we will weigh everything up and, in the end, Adrien will decide as always.” .................

Pavan predicts the Juventus attack for the game against Fiorentina Juventus boasts a wealth of options in their attacking lineup, with nearly all of their forwards available for the upcoming match against Fiorentina this weekend. ............ The upcoming match will mark a return to Florence for Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa, and both players are fit to participate. Interestingly, Chiesa has been injured whenever Juventus has faced Fiorentina since his move to the club, but Vlahovic has previously faced Fiorentina as a Juventus player. ............ Predicting the lineup for the match, Massimo Pavan said: “In defence, his hands are tied; there are no alternatives to the Bremer-Gatti-Rugani trio, while in midfield, I believe Miretti will be the starter together with Locatelli and Rabiot, with McKennie the favourite on the right. On the left, Cambiaso’s presence will depend on that of Chiesa, he will play in the starting 7, otherwise, there will be room for Kostic. There is plenty in attack. I think Chiesa is favoured for a place next to Vlahovic, but Allegri could prefer him Kean again from the first minute.” ............

“I spoke to Spalletti” Soule confirms which national team he will represent Luciano Spalletti has shown interest in Juventus’ young player Mattias Soule in recent months and was willing to include him in his Italy national team squad. .................. One choice the attacker must make is which country he will represent. He is eligible to play for Argentina, for which he has played at the youth level, and Italy through his heritage. However, the youngster was born in Argentina and feels a stronger connection to Argentina, making it an easy choice for him to represent them in international football. .................. “I spoke to Spalletti, I told him the truth, which was that I felt Argentinian. I thanked him because he wanted me, then I also spoke to Walter Samuel, who told me I was given a provisional call-up. “I’m waiting for Argentina, I don’t know if it will come now or later, but I’m Argentine, I was born there, and my heart always says Argentina.” ..................

Serbian star explains why Samardzic will shine at Juventus Serbian star Filip Djuricic insists that Lazar Samardzic would be a good signing for Juventus as the Bianconeri consider a January move for the Udinese man. ............. He and Samardzic represent the Serbian national team and play in a similar position, yet he is impressed by the performance of the Juve target. ............. “Lazar was born as a trequartista, but few now play with a player behind the forwards. He learnt to play as a central midfielder very well in Udine, so he would have no problem adapting to Juventus’ system. “With Samardzic, Juve would become even more of a Scudetto contender. In the midst of so many great players, he can do even better. “Paradoxically, for someone like him it would be much easier to play for Juve than Udinese. I always watch his matches and, if he is strong at Udinese, he would become very strong in Turin.” .............

Fiorentina vs Juventus: Serie A Preview, Potential Lineups & Prediction Stadio Artemio Franchi is the venue as Fiorentina and Juventus go head-to-head in a tasty-looking Serie A showdown on Sunday evening. ............. Though the visitors haven’t shined recently, they’ve proved well-versed in taking three points in challenging environments. Massimiliano Allegri’s side first capitalized on a numerical advantage to sink Milan 1-0 at the San Siro before Andrea Cambiaso’s last-gasp winner helped them take down Hellas Verona on home turf last weekend. Buzzing from a three-game winning league streak ‘to nil,’ Juventus commence this round only two points adrift of pacesetters Inter as their first Scudetto challenge in four years looks off and running. Match Preview Fiorentina Fiorentina’s bid to bounce back from a rough patch faces a formidable task, considering they face a Juventus side they’ve lost a club-record 86 matches against. But if it’s any consolation, they’ve avoided defeat in the last four meetings they’ve hosted (W1, D3), conceding an average of 0.5 goals per game. ............ Player to Watch: Giacomo Bonaventura ............... Juventus Regardless of their superb string of results at the beginning of the new campaign, scoring has been an issue for Juventus. Their uneventful frontline has only netted five goals in their last five Serie A outings (W4, D1). Luckily, they’ve had a water-tight backline to watch their back. With five consecutive clean sheets in the build-up to this trip, Juventus have re-established themselves as a defensive superpower in Serie A. Only Inter (5) have conceded fewer goals than Allegri’s lads (6) thus far, though it’s worth noting that 67% of those goals have come on the road. Remarkably, four goals came in a 4-2 defeat at Sassuolo, while they’ve registered shutouts on their remaining four trips this term. That doesn’t change the fact Juventus’ away form requires immediate improvement. They’ve blown hot and cold across their last three Serie A travels (W1, D1, L1). Player to Watch: Federico Chiesa Returning to his old stomping ground, where he spent 15 years, the Italian winger is looking for his first goal against Fiorentina after three scoring blanks. Motivation shouldn’t be in short supply, knowing his last Serie A goal dates back to September. Team News Gaetano Castrovilli and Dodo will not be part of the Fiorentina squad this weekend, with prodigious right-back Michael Kayode facing a race against time to make the cut. As for Juventus, Alex Sandro, Danilo, Paul Pogba, Nicolo Fagioli, Mattia De Sciglio, and Timothy Weah are not on Allegri’s list of travelers. The USMNT star’s absence probably means Fabio Miretti will return to the starting lineup. Fiorentina vs Juventus Potential Lineups Fiorentina (4-2-3-1): Pietro Terracciano; Cristiano Biraghi, Lucas Martinez Quarta, Nikola Milenkovic, Fabiano Parisi; Alfred Duncan, Arthur Melo; Nicolas Gonzalez, Giacomo Bonaventura, Jonathan Ikone; Lucas Beltran. Juventus (3-5-2): Wojciech Szczesny; Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer, Daniele Rugani; Andrea Cambiaso, Adrien Rabiot, Manuel Locatelli, Weston McKennie, Fabio Miretti; Federico Chiesa, Dusan Vlahovic. Fiorentina vs Juventus Prediction While we wouldn’t go as far as to back Fiorentina to knock Juventus off their perch, we can envisage the hosts grabbing a point here. Juve’s recent performances have flattered to deceive, and you can’t always expect to get away with a highway robbery.
