“You always fall and get back up” Locatelli reacts to Italy’s goalfest against Israel Manuel Locatelli featured prominently for the Italian national team in a dramatic 5-4 victory over Israel last night. The match was marked by high tension, as Italy had been at risk of missing out on World Cup qualification following two challenging encounters in the group stage. In response to the team’s precarious position, the Italian Football Federation decided to relieve Luciano Spalletti of his duties and appointed Gennaro Gattuso as head coach. ............ The match itself was intense and unpredictable, with both teams contributing to the high-scoring affair. Goalkeepers on both sides faced considerable challenges and are unlikely to be satisfied with their individual performances. Nevertheless, the overriding priority for Italy was achieving victory, and the team accomplished this despite the disorder on the pitch. The encounter underscored the resilience and character required at the international level, qualities that Locatelli highlighted following the match. In a post-match statement, Locatelli wrote, “You always fall and get back up, that’s what character must be. A crucial victory! Forza Azzurri always!” This sentiment emphasises both the determination of the players and their commitment to Italy’s ongoing pursuit of World Cup qualification. ............ Locatelli remains a key figure in Italy’s squad as the team aims to secure a place in the next World Cup, having been absent from the tournament for the last two editions. The recent victories under Gattuso’s leadership have restored optimism among supporters and players alike. With talented individuals such as Locatelli and Tonali contributing decisively, Italy appear to be on a more promising trajectory as they navigate the remainder of the qualifying campaign. ............ .

Giovanni Cobolli Gigli is impressed with the work Damien Comolli is doing Damien Comolli assumed a significant role at Juventus this summer after the club decided to part ways with Cristiano Giuntoli. The change in leadership came following a disappointing 2024/2025 campaign, a season regarded as disastrous under the former sporting director. Juventus ultimately concluded that Giuntoli was not the right figure to address the difficulties the club had encountered, prompting a new direction. ............ Former Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli, who held office between 2006 and 2009, has also observed the recent developments closely. Speaking about Comolli’s early months in charge, he expressed his approval of the new sporting director’s approach. He remarked, “I don’t know him, but I’m growing fond of him because of the similarity in our last names. He did a good job, and I liked the fact that he didn’t get caught in the Kolo Muani deal. The same player, then, was sold to Tottenham a few hours later on more favourable terms. The structure is working, and I don’t think Comolli himself has all the knowledge of the Juventus world yet, and there’s definitely someone advising him.” ............ The consensus within the club and among observers is that Juventus have handled this transfer window effectively. The reinforcements acquired appear better suited to the needs of the team, and there is a renewed sense of belief that the coming season will bring greater stability and stronger performances. The work undertaken over the summer has been described as a collective achievement, though it is widely recognised that Comolli deserves significant credit for overseeing these changes. ............ .

Serie A to make history with RefCam introduction in Juventus vs. Inter The Lega Serie A are taking steps to enhance the televisual experience of watching top-flight Italian matches, and for the first time in the league’s history, will utilise RefCam technology for the upcoming Derby d’Italia between Juventus and Inter. The Lega Serie A have confirmed on Tuesday that Juventus-Inter will be the first game in the division’s history to make use of the new system, which allows supporters at home to see the game from the referee’s perspective. ............ The footage will be used during warm-ups, while showing the preparation for set-pieces including free-kicks and penalties, and will also be used to show replays of certain specific in-game incidents. With the introduction of a new camera angle, the footage will also be available to VAR officials in the control room, the league have confirmed. ............ “The high-resolution micro-camera, weighing only 6 grams, will be mounted at the base of the referee’s microphone headband and will be used during the warm-up, live during the match, when preparing for free kicks and similar situations, or to show spectacular replays. ............ .

How Juventus plan to replace Conceicao against Inter in Derby d’Italia Juventus have several options to replace Francisco Conceicao for the Derby d’Italia against Inter in Serie A this weekend, but Tuesday’s reports indicate that new signing Lois Openda is the most likely candidate to replace the Portugal international should he remain unavailable. ............ Conceicao has started in both of Juventus’s first two Serie A matches of the season, both times playing alongside Kenan Yildiz, behind the centre-forward in a 3-4-2-1 system. The only other players who have played in those roles so far this season are Weston McKennie, who could replace the suspended Andrea Cambiaso at wing-back against Inter, and Nico Gonzalez, who has recently joined Atletico Madrid. If Tudor were to stick with the same system, the most natural replacements would be either Teun Koopmeiners or summer signing Edon Zhegrova. ............ Tudor could be minded to slightly shuffle his tactics to either a 3-4-1-2 or a 3-5-2. In both instances, Kenan Yildiz would be the advanced-most of the midfielders, with Openda likely to play alongside Jonathan David slightly further up the pitch. There is also a possibility that Tudor decides to field Dusan Vlahovic alongside David instead, however, Openda will return earlier from national team duty than the Serbian, and therefore has more time to prepare for the Inter match in Serie A this weekend. .

Bergomi backs Juventus to maintain their strong start to the season Juventus have begun the current season in promising fashion, securing two wins from as many matches. The Bianconeri will be aiming to build on this positive start as the campaign progresses, striving to maintain consistency and improve their performances across all competitions. The current squad features several highly talented players, and the club remains committed to working diligently to enhance team cohesion and overall effectiveness on the pitch. ............ Serie A promises to be highly competitive this season, with several clubs vying for the Scudetto. Juventus’ encouraging start offers optimism, but maintaining form throughout the season will be crucial. The team’s ability to adapt to challenges and integrate new players effectively will likely define their campaign. Commenting on the title race, Inter Milan legend Giuseppe Bergomi noted: “I think Juventus and Napoli will start ahead for the Scudetto, while Roma, Inter, and Milan could start slightly behind. Predictions are made to be proven wrong, but I see this type of start this year for the Scudetto race.” ............ Despite the promising start, Juventus still have several key players who have yet to fully integrate into the squad. Their contributions will be critical in sustaining momentum and achieving success over the long season. The Bianconeri’s management and coaching staff are focused on ensuring that the team remains in peak condition, both physically and tactically, to meet the demands of Serie A. ............ .

Blow as Juventus attacker suffers injury on international duty Juventus have suffered an untimely setback from the international break after one of their attacking players was forced to withdraw from duty and return home due to injury. International windows are always a period of concern for clubs, as players leave their domestic sides in good health only to face the risk of sustaining problems while representing their national teams. Every manager and supporter hopes their squad members will come back unscathed, ready to continue the campaign. Unfortunately for the Bianconeri, this latest development has added a fresh complication ahead of an important fixture. ............ Francisco Conceição has been sent home from Portugal’s camp after suffering a setback that ruled him out of their upcoming fixture. The winger’s injury meant he could not take part in training, leading to the decision that he would not feature in their next game. He has now returned to Juventus, where the medical team will assess his condition and determine how long it will take before he is ready to resume action. ............ The absence of Conceição is a significant concern for the Bianconeri. His pace and creativity add valuable depth to the attacking line, and losing him at this stage reduces flexibility for upcoming fixtures. Much now depends on the severity of the injury and the speed of his recovery. Juventus will be eager to reintegrate him as quickly as possible, but must balance this with ensuring he is fully fit before returning to action. ............ .

Ma no. Chivu in italiano si dice

Juventus will face a familiar system when they play Inter Milan Juventus are set to face Inter Milan this weekend as Serie A resumes following the international break. The fixture arrives at a decisive moment for both clubs, as they stand out as the principal contenders for the league title this season. Each side might have preferred a different opponent at this stage, but destiny has paired them in what promises to be one of the most significant encounters of the early campaign. The Bianconeri have started their season with two consecutive victories, a run of form that has strengthened their confidence. Inter, on the other hand, have already suffered a defeat in one of their opening fixtures, placing them under increased pressure. A defeat in this clash would raise concerns for Cristian Chivu, with questions emerging over his leadership so early in his tenure. Should Juventus prevail, it could spark what some might interpret as the beginnings of a crisis for Inter. ............ Chivu has had very limited time to impose his own philosophy since taking charge, and attempting to overhaul the approach before such an important fixture would involve considerable risk. Maintaining familiarity and stability is therefore expected to be his priority, especially given the calibre of the opposition. ............ Despite their contrasting starts to the campaign, both clubs recognise the immense importance of this match. Juventus hold momentum and will look to capitalise on it, while Inter will be eager to re-establish themselves as credible title challengers. Historical rivalries of this stature often extend beyond tactics and form, demanding resilience, determination, and discipline. ............ .

Inter Milan has a serious selection problem before the Juventus match Inter Milan’s next match is against Juventus, and it presents a significant occasion to welcome back their players following the international break. The men in black and white now boast some fine talents in their squad, but they remain fully aware that Inter can pose a serious threat whenever the two clubs meet. ............ Because South American teams finish their international matches late, Inter will only welcome back Lautaro Martinez from the break on Thursday. The journey from South America to Europe is a long one, and the striker will require time to recover, meaning he will have limited opportunity to train ahead of the match. He is likely to train just once before the important game, which presents a dilemma for the manager in terms of team selection. Despite this challenge, it is reported that Cristian Chivu still plans to start Martinez in the fixture, although he is unlikely to complete the full ninety minutes. This situation highlights the delicate balance required in managing players returning from international duty, particularly when dealing with key individuals who can have a decisive impact on the game. ............ As both clubs prepare for the match, fans can anticipate an exciting contest filled with tactical battles and individual moments of quality. Inter’s approach will need to be measured, taking into account both the physical limitations of recently returned players and the broader demands of facing a strong Juventus side. ............ .

Bremer: ‘Openda still apologising’ after ACL incident in RB Leipzig 2-3 Juventus Juventus defender Gleison Bremer has joked that his new teammate Lois Openda will ‘still be apologising’ after an incident that led to the Brazilian rupturing his cruciate ligament (ACL) during a Champions League clash between the Bianconeri and RB Leipzig last season. Bremer tore his cruciate ligament during Juventus’s 3-2 win over RB Leipzig in the league phase of last season’s Champions League. ............ Given that Openda joined Juventus on the final day of the summer transfer window, and then immediately reported for international duty with Belgium, he and Bremer have not yet had an opportunity to speak face-to-face. ............ “It’s destiny,” Bremer said when asked about Openda becoming a new Juve teammate in a clip released on the club’s social media channels. “Straight after the injury, after the match, he wrote to me apologising, saying he didn’t want for that to happen. Absolutely, it was an accident, a consequence of the game. I’ve done that action a thousand times before, but unfortunately it happened with him. These things happen. It’s normal. “We haven’t seen each other here at Continassa yet, but it’s all good. He’ll still be apologising,” the Brazilian laughed. .

Conceicao withdraws from Portugal squad and worries Juventus ahead of Inter derby Juventus forward Francisco Conceicao has withdrawn from the Portugal national team squad through injury, and is now at risk of missing out on the upcoming Derby d’Italia against rivals Inter in Serie A this weekend. The Portugal national team have confirmed in a statement that Conceicao left the national team training camp on Monday afternoon, as he reported ‘muscular discomfort’. He has been ruled out of Portugal’s upcoming World Cup qualifier against Hungary. ............ The 22-year-old will now return to Turin for further assessment ahead of the Inter clash, which is scheduled for 17.00 BST on Saturday evening. ............ There could, however, be an opportunity for new signing Edon Zhegorva, or potentially Teun Koopmeiners to slot into that role should Conceicao be unavailable this weekend assuming that Tudor sticks with the same system. .

Former Inter and Juventus player Jugovic predicts Derby d’Italia battle Vladimir Jugovic has played for both Inter and Juventus, so he looks ahead to the Derby d’Italia by analysing the teams, and revealing which Thuram he’d pick between Marcus and Khephren. ............ “It is the match that means the most to the fans, but as always, it also depends on the moment they are going through,” said the retired midfielder. “Inter have the opportunity to bounce back straight away after their defeat to Udinese, while it’s the ideal chance for Juventus to confirm a strong start to the season.” ............ “Igor Tudor arrived in March, took Juventus into the Champions League and had a decent Club World Cup campaign, so you can see the team has an identity and the locker room seems to get along with the coach. “The only thing that counts at Juventus is the result, I learned that in Turin, as did Igor. When you wear that jersey, you have to win. The return of Bremer is also no coincidence, as defending well is the first step to winning, and having him fit again is worth the same as a great new signing.” ............ “Beating Inter is worth more than three points. It is also a matter of confidence and enthusiasm, and would confirm the positive sensations of the first two rounds. It is a test to see if Juve really can challenge for the Scudetto, although for the moment Napoli remain the favourites, as Antonio Conte is a winner.” ............ It is going to be a family affair, with Thuram brothers Marcus and Khephren facing off on the field. Given the choice, which would Jugovic choose? “Khephren. I was a midfielder, so I will always cheer on someone in my role. I also feel Teun Koopmeiners deserves another chance, it doesn’t make sense to pay so much for a player and then give up on him so quickly, as he can become an ideal player for Tudor.” ............ “I think Kenan Yildiz can stand out, he seems to have a good record in this fixture. It’s good that Juve have so many talented strikers, as competition is positive at top clubs. In my day we had Gianluca Vialli, Fabrizio Ravanelli, Michele Padovano, Alessandro Del Piero, then Christian Vieri, Alen Boksic… Being able to alternate between forwards is a good advantage when they are made to work harder nowadays.” .

Aron Winter tips Juventus among the clubs to win the Scudetto Juventus have been tipped as one of the leading contenders for the Serie A title this season, as the competition for the crown is expected to be particularly intense. The outcome remains highly uncertain, with several managerial changes having taken place across Italy’s top clubs, creating an unpredictable landscape. ............ Among the strongest competitors for the Scudetto is AC Milan, which has brought Max Allegri back to the bench in a move aimed at reigniting their title ambitions. Napoli, the reigning champions, are also widely expected to mount a serious defence of their crown, with observers highlighting their transfer activity and squad depth as factors that could make them formidable once again. Inter Milan, consistently competitive in recent seasons, is likewise firmly in the conversation. This mix of managerial changes and strategic reinforcements across the league has created an atmosphere of uncertainty, in which consistency and adaptability are likely to prove decisive. Juventus’s stability under Tudor, combined with their ambition, ensures that they remain firmly in the spotlight as the season unfolds. ............ Providing his perspective on the title battle, former Inter Milan player Aron Winter commented: “Juventus started well, then obviously there’s Napoli. The Azzurri have made a great transfer market; they’ve completed their squad. I’d put Juve, Napoli, Inter, and Milan in my list, even though the Rossoneri in recent years haven’t been what we know them to be.” ............ .

How Juventus can fit David and Vlahovic into the same team The recent form of centre-forwards Jonathan David and Dusan Vlahovic has left some wondering whether it is conceivable that the Juventus pair end up playing together in the same team. Here is how it could happen, but why it is unlikely to see a new strike partnership in the next Juve match. ............ David has since added another goal to his personal tally with the opener in Canada’s recent 3-0 win over Romania. Vlahovic, meanwhile, has scored off the bench in both of Juve’s first two Serie A matches of the season, and has also carried his goalscoring form into the international break, providing the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win for Serbia away against Latvia on Saturday. ............ In short, Tudor has two in-form centre-forwards to choose from when Juventus go up against Inter in the Derby d’Italia immediately after the international break. There have been some suggestions that Tudor could be tempted into tweaking his 3-4-2-1 system in order to get both David and Vlahovic on the pitch at the same time. There are two ways this could happen: Firstly, by dropping one of the two strikers, likely David, into a slightly deeper role, replacing either Francisco Conceicao or Kenan Yildiz, who have started the season in the trequartista roles for the Old Lady. Or, Tudor could slightly tweak his system to a 3-4-1-2, likely with Yildiz as the sole creator, and Vlahovic and David playing in more of a traditional front two. ............ .

Alessandro Matri insists Tudor is not a coach to give a temporary job Former Juventus striker Alessandro Matri has shared his views on Igor Tudor’s tenure as Juventus manager, emphasising that the Croatian should be entrusted with the role on a permanent basis. Matri highlighted the manager’s seriousness and his understanding of the demands required at the club. ............ Since assuming the role, Tudor has impressed with the way he has handled the team. His work during pre-season allowed him to begin shaping the side, and supporters now expect to see an improvement in performance levels. Within a relatively short period, he has instilled the belief that he could be the right figure to guide Juventus forward. Matri praised the current manager, saying, “I see Tudor as a serious coach, certainly not a passing one. The pride of coaching Juventus pushes him to give more. But he knows football; you don’t need to know the Juventus world to make an impact. He’s doing well because he’s shown he can handle complex situations. His biggest task now is to develop the team they’ve given him, but at least this time he’s had time to work. Juventus, in this sense, already has a clear identity, a defined physiognomy.” ............ Matri’s remarks reflect a belief that Tudor’s role should not be considered temporary. The Croatian has demonstrated composure, tactical awareness, and the ability to deal with challenging circumstances. His work has already given Juventus a clearer structure and sense of identity. ............ .

Massimo Pavan joins the debate of the sour PSG-Juventus relationship Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain’s relationship has reportedly deteriorated following the collapse of discussions regarding Randal Kolo Muani in the final stages of the transfer window. The Bianconeri had engaged in lengthy negotiations to secure the Frenchman, having been impressed by his performances during the second half of the previous season. ............ In a surprising turn of events on deadline day, Juventus chose instead to complete the signing of Lois Openda. This sudden change of direction left Paris Saint-Germain to arrange a loan move for Muani to Tottenham. The outcome was unexpected, as discussions between the clubs had given every indication that a deal was close to conclusion. The decision has reportedly left Paris Saint-Germain frustrated, particularly as confidence had been high that their negotiations with Juventus would produce a successful outcome. The abrupt shift in strategy by the Italian club has been cited as the cause of a strain in relations, with suggestions that future dealings between the two institutions may now be more challenging to pursue. ............ Commenting on the situation, Massimo Pavan defended Juventus’s conduct. He stated, “I don’t understand what PSG wants. Juventus made an offer. If they wanted to give him five million with no strings attached, they could have done so. I think if they had offered him at the start of the transfer window, Juventus would have accepted immediately.” Pavan further argued that Juventus had made genuine efforts to bring Muani to Turin, but that Paris Saint-Germain’s own approach contributed to the failure of the transfer. He stressed that the Bianconeri did what they could under the circumstances, pointing out that the timing and conditions proposed by their counterparts complicated the process. ............ .

Jugovic is happy with the competition for a place in Juventus attack Juventus’s deadline day activity has provided Igor Tudor with a refreshed and highly competitive attacking unit, offering a wealth of options for the months ahead. The Bianconeri were already well stocked with attacking talent, yet their late moves in the transfer market have given the manager even greater flexibility. For supporters, the changes are particularly exciting, as they anticipate seeing a variety of combinations on the pitch once the international break concludes. ............ The subsequent arrivals of Lois Openda and Edon Zhegrova further bolstered the department, adding pace, creativity and finishing ability to an already impressive line-up. The variety within this group gives Tudor the tools to adapt to different opponents and scenarios across the season. Vlahovic remains the focal point of the attack, a proven scorer who thrives as a central striker. Around him, the likes of David and Openda can stretch defences with movement and pace, while Conceição and Zhegrova provide flair and unpredictability from wide areas. Meanwhile, Yildiz represents the new generation, a young player who has already shown glimpses of his ability to play an important role. This depth ensures that Juventus can rotate their forwards without sacrificing quality, an asset that becomes increasingly important in a campaign featuring domestic and European commitments. It also creates internal competition, motivating players to perform consistently in order to secure their place in the starting line-up. ............ Former Juventus midfielder Vladimir Jugovic expressed his admiration for the club’s attacking options. He remarked, “Competition is good at the top clubs, and. I think the first few games show it: while we wait to see Openda, David and Vlahovic are scoring. In my day, there were so many, all champions: Vialli, Ravanelli, Padovano, Del Piero. And then Vieri, Boksic… Now there are so many matches, and the strikers are asked to work harder: being able to rotate the attackers is a great advantage.” ............ .

Barcelona and Juventus have an identical list of defenders they are watching Juventus and Barcelona are two of the most prominent clubs in European football, consistently competing for domestic and continental honours. The Bianconeri have established themselves as a reliable force across multiple competitions, while Barcelona continue to dominate the Spanish scene, having claimed major domestic success last term. ............ Looking ahead to the next transfer window, there are indications that both Juventus and Barcelona are setting their sights on defensive reinforcements. The two clubs have been linked with the same three defenders, signalling overlapping priorities in their recruitment strategies. The players reportedly attracting attention are Lucas Beraldo of PSG, Murillo of Nottingham Forest, and Marc Guéhi of Crystal Palace. Each is regarded as a highly talented defender, and interest from other top European sides is likely to emerge before the window reopens. Juventus and Barcelona may therefore face competition if they decide to pursue these targets, reflecting the high calibre of the individuals involved. ............ The pursuit of these players illustrates the broader ambitions of both clubs, as they aim to strengthen critical areas of their squads in preparation for challenging campaigns on multiple fronts. Juventus, having demonstrated greater activity in the previous window, may seek to maintain its momentum, while Barcelona might look to supplement its roster to ensure sustained domestic and continental competitiveness. ............ .

Expert explains how Juventus has solved their balance sheet problems When Andrea Agnelli and the Juventus board resigned following the capital gains scandal, they left behind a club in considerable financial difficulty. The Bianconeri had spent aggressively in previous years with the expectation that future revenues would balance the books. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 created unforeseen challenges, significantly reducing matchday income and commercial revenue streams. This disruption left the club struggling to meet several of its financial obligations. ............ One of the most visible remnants of the old board’s approach is the sizeable contract awarded to Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian striker is earning €1 million net per month during this final year of his agreement, placing a significant burden on the wage bill. While his performances on the pitch remain valuable, his salary is symbolic of the financial risks Juventus took during the previous administration. Despite these challenges, Juventus have shown signs of recovery. The club has gradually stabilised its accounts through careful management of resources and a more measured approach to transfers. The emphasis has shifted towards building a sustainable squad, investing in younger players with growth potential, and avoiding the excessive commitments that led to earlier difficulties. ............ Financial expert Fabrizio Bava recently offered his assessment of the club’s progress. He noted, “The club can be satisfied with the transfer market. The costs on the balance sheet have been very minimal, and the market has essentially been self-financed through sales. The outlook for the future is positive; Vlahovic’s amortisation is in its final year, and next year Juve will have €19.5 million less, as will Arthur in 2027. With these premises, painful sacrifices will not be necessary in the future, and players who represent investments in terms of age and prospects have arrived.” ............ .

Juventus star rejected a move to PSG in the summer Khephren Thuram has quickly established himself as one of Juventus’s standout signings, delivering performances that exceeded expectations during his debut campaign in Turin. The French midfielder arrived in the summer as part of a significant overhaul of the Bianconeri midfield, joining alongside Teun Koopmeiners and Douglas Luiz. While those two were immediately viewed as the cornerstones of the new system, Thuram was initially regarded as a young option who would develop gradually and provide depth. ............ The arrival of Igor Tudor as Juventus manager further accelerated Thuram’s progress. Tudor’s tactical demands suited the Frenchman’s qualities, and he responded with a level of performance that underlined both his potential and his growing influence within the team. His composure in possession, combined with an ability to contribute defensively and offensively, earned him widespread recognition among supporters and analysts. Thuram’s development has not gone unnoticed abroad. Paris Saint-Germain expressed interest in securing his services, even making contact with his representatives to gauge his willingness to consider a move. However, the report revealed that the midfielder declined the approach, signalling his commitment to Juventus and his desire to continue his career in Turin. ............ Thuram’s contract runs until 2029, offering Juventus long-term security over one of their brightest assets. His decision to reject overtures from Paris Saint-Germain demonstrates both loyalty and confidence in the club’s project. Such commitment is particularly valuable in modern football, where players are often tempted by lucrative opportunities elsewhere. ............ .

Jonathan David sets a goal target for himself at Juventus Jonathan David is now leading the line for Juventus at the Allianz Stadium after completing his move to Turin as a free agent. The Canadian forward allowed his contract with Lille to run down last season and joined the Bianconeri despite strong interest from several European clubs. ............ The expectation is that David will provide the decisive goals the team has been lacking, while also benefiting from the support of his teammates, who are capable of contributing with strikes of their own. This combination is viewed as a formula that could enable Juventus to secure victories more consistently and, in turn, pursue silverware both domestically and in Europe. ............ The striker has quickly opened his account for Juventus with his first competitive goals and has outlined the targets he hopes to achieve. He said, “It’s always important for a striker to start off scoring; the goal is to win as many games as possible. I’ll try to score as many as possible; if I reach 25, I’ll be happy. If I don’t, no worries: I’ll give it my all.” His words highlight both ambition and humility, reflecting a player determined to succeed without losing sight of the collective objective. While his personal goal tally will be closely followed, his primary focus remains on helping Juventus win matches and compete for trophies. ............ .

New Juventus signing refuses to take days off and has been training Edon Zhegrova was not selected for international duty with Kosovo during the current break, which meant he remained in Turin rather than travelling abroad. Having only just completed his move to Juventus in the final hours of the transfer window, the forward is determined to establish himself as a key figure at the club and to make a lasting impression at the Allianz Stadium. ............ The report notes that the attacker has been working independently to maintain sharpness and ensure he is ready for action once group training resumes. This decision underlines his ambition to secure a regular place in the starting line-up and to contribute meaningfully to the team’s campaign. ............ Zhegrova’s commitment has been seen as an encouraging sign, reflecting not only his technical qualities but also his professionalism and mentality. Juventus supporters will be pleased to see a player combining talent with discipline, as this blend can often prove decisive over the course of a long season. The young forward is known for his creativity and attacking flair, attributes that will be valuable as the Bianconeri aim to compete across multiple fronts. By demonstrating a willingness to go beyond what is required, Zhegrova is sending a clear message that he intends to play an integral role in the squad. ............ .
