Bremer is happy to score and reveals who he dedicates the goal to Gleison Bremer was on the scoresheet as Juventus secured a 5-0 win against Cremonese last night. The Bianconeri have been among the strongest sides in Serie A in recent weeks, consistently displaying quality and cohesion in each game. Their current unbeaten run reflects the collective effort of the squad, with all players contributing to the team’s impressive performances. ............ In addition to his defensive duties, Bremer recently ended his goal drought, scoring in the win over Cremonese. The goal provided a personal boost for the defender, who dedicated the moment to his wife. He said: “I headed the ball, it went well. We won and that’s what matters. I dedicated the goal to my wife who is pregnant, we’re expecting a baby girl. I’m happy, it was a bit of a lucky goal but I’m happy. After two years I managed to score, I needed confidence and I lacked it.” ............ Bremer’s influence goes beyond his contributions at set pieces, as his defensive solidity allows the team to build from the back and maintain confidence throughout matches. Juventus’ strong form has been built on a combination of tactical organisation, individual quality and collective effort, with Bremer playing a central role in both defence and attack. ............ .

“We keep pushing.” Yildiz reacts to latest Juventus win Kenan Yildiz was in excellent form as Juventus secured a 5-0 victory over Cremonese last night. The match began competitively, but after Juve scored their second goal, Cremonese struggled to respond, and the Bianconeri capitalised by adding three more goals to maintain their impressive run of results. ............ The attacker scored one of the goals in the match and expressed his satisfaction with both his personal contribution and the team’s overall display. In a social media post, Yildiz said: “Great team performance and happy to be on the scoresheet. We keep pushing.

Manager Luciano Spalletti has helped ease the pressure on Yildiz, allowing him to perform with greater freedom and confidence. The team’s collective improvement has created an environment in which players like Yildiz can thrive, contributing both goals and creativity. Juventus’ recent performances reflect the positive impact of Spalletti’s tactical guidance and man-management, as the squad demonstrates composure and cohesion across matches. ............ .

Two Juventus stars missed the latest group training Francisco Conceição and Federico Gatti have both been recovering from injuries and did not feature in Juventus’ 5-0 win against Cremonese, but they remain key figures for the team. Juventus have been performing strongly, yet the squad relies on contributions from every player, making the return of Gatti and Conceição a priority for the club. Neither player has suffered a serious issue, and both are following individual training programmes designed to aid their recovery and ensure a safe return to the group. Juventus are mindful of managing its rehabilitation carefully, balancing the need for fitness with the importance of long-term availability during the crucial stages of the season. ............ Both Gatti and Conceição were present at the training ground but continued with their personalised programmes to facilitate a swift and safe return. The club aims to have its full complement of players available as soon as possible, recognising their importance as the season reaches its decisive phase. ............ Although both players are eager to rejoin the first team, Juventus are determined not to rush their comeback. Careful management of injuries ensures that Gatti and Conceição can contribute fully without risking setbacks. The club’s approach reflects the broader philosophy of balancing player welfare with competitive ambitions, particularly during a period in which every match carries significant weight for the team’s objectives. ............ .

Mattioli explains why he is not surprised at Juventus’ improvements Juventus have shown significant improvement since November, raising the possibility that they could challenge for the Scudetto. The season began inconsistently for the Bianconeri, with poor performances ultimately costing Igor Tudor his managerial position. Juventus needed a stabilising figure, and they turned to Luciano Spalletti on a short-term deal, signalling their desire to restore momentum and consistency. Despite initial doubts, Spalletti has quickly improved the team’s performance. Juventus players now display greater confidence and composure, adapting effectively to the tactical demands of their new manager. Each match has seen further progress, and the side continues to build on the foundations laid since his appointment. ............ Mario Mattioli has emphasised that Juventus’ improvement under Spalletti is not surprising. He said: “Nothing impressed me, because I expected that from Juve. They managed to bring in a truly outstanding coach. Tudor struggled, lacking the necessary experience. Spalletti, on the other hand, has it and has managed, even without saying too much, to show them how to play at Juve.” ............ As the season progresses, the Bianconeri appear capable of maintaining their upward trajectory. With Spalletti at the helm, Juventus are positioned not only to secure positive results but also to mount a serious challenge for the Scudetto. ............ .

Lungi da me difendere il Napoli ma bisogna ammettere che i partenopei hanno avuto una serie di infortuni in serie da guinness dei primati. Con un Napoli al completo, l'Inter non avrebbe avuto tutto quel vantaggio.

Hai matato el Lecce

E infatti

Magari

Ma pare solo a me che l'Inter gioca male stasera? Poi vinceranno ugualmente ma non mi sembrano brillantissimi.

MARCO OTTOLINI https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juventus_Football_Club_2025-2026 Nazione: Italia Luogo di nascita: Gardone Val Trompia (Brescia) Data di nascita: 18.02.1980 Ruolo: Direttore Sportivo Direttore sportivo della Juventus dal 2026 Cresciuto come osservatore tra Anderlecht e Juventus, diventato ds del Genoa nel 2019 e protagonista del "lancio" di diversi giovani talenti consacratisi con la maglia rossoblù. Dopo settimane di "casting" e un testa a testa con vari altri pretendenti al ruolo (non solo italiani), Marco Ottolini rappresenta la scelta della Signora per il ruolo di direttore sportivo. Nell'ottobre scorso, il dirigente classe 1980 ha risolto il contratto che lo legava al Genoa - club di cui era ds - per poi svolgere alcuni colloqui con la società bianconera. Incontri che hanno positivamente sorpreso Damien Comolli. Per Ottolini si tratta di un ritorno in bianconero, visto che il dirigente aveva già lavorato con la Juventus: in qualità di osservatore, ma anche di responsabile del progetto "Club 15". L'obiettivo che dovrà centrare è fin da ora evidente: riportare la Juventus a vincere, ma rispettando la sostenibilità economico-finanziaria. Ex calciatore con un passato al Brescia, Ottolini ha avviato la sua carriera "dietro la scrivania" con l'Anderlecht, di cui divenne osservatore nel 2015. In tre stagioni la considerazione acquisita all'interno dell'organigramma del club belga crebbe così tanto da portare la Juventus a monitorare con attenzione il lavoro del classe 1980. Che in bianconero ci è già stato, visto che il nativo di Gardone Val Trompia ha svolto il ruolo di osservatore per la Signora dal 2019 al 2021, prima di diventare responsabile dei giocatori in prestito. Nello stesso periodo, Ottolini ha seguito da vicino la nascita del progetto Next Gen bianconero ed è diventato responsabile del "Club 15", programma che la stessa società torinese così definisce: "Sviluppare, valorizzare e mantenere rapporti con società di calcio estere, al fine di promuovere i talenti e creare una rete virtuosa di collaborazioni. Segnalare giovani di talento da far crescere a Torino, oppure permettere ai ragazzi che stanno crescendo nelle nostre Under di vivere esperienze di qualità in campionati esteri". L'esperienza maturata alla Juventus è stata volano per il definitivo salto di qualità, avvenuto nel 2022. Quando il Genoa ha deciso di affidargli l'incarico di direttore sportivo. Sotto la sua supervisione - con occhio clinico di osservatore sempre ben aperto - il Grifone ha mixato davvero bene i risultati sportivi con la crescita di diversi e promettenti talenti. Soltanto per citarne alcuni: Radu Dragusin (oggi difensore del Tottenham), Josep Martínez (vice-Sommer all'Inter) e il bomber della Nazionale, Mateo Retegui. Il lavoro svolto in rossoblù è stato particolarmente apprezzato dai nuovi vertici societari bianconeri, che hanno individuato proprio in Ottolini l'uomo giusto per completare l'organigramma - della parte prettamente "sportiva" - della Juventus. La sfida è di quelle importanti, perché la fase di transizione che sta vivendo Madama resta comunque evidente. Altrettanto chiaro è l'obiettivo che dovrà centrare il nuovo ds: riportare la Juventus a vincere, in modo però sostenibile economicamente. "La Juventus è lieta di annunciare la nomina di Marco Ottolini come nuovo Direttore Sportivo del Club. A partire dal 1° gennaio 2026 Ottolini è entrato ufficialmente a far parte dell’organigramma bianconero, a diretto riporto del Chief Executive Officer Damien Comolli. Marco Ottolini porta con sé un bagaglio di esperienze ampio e trasversale, costruito nel tempo attraverso i diversi ruoli ricoperti all’interno del mondo del calcio. Nato nel 1980, dopo aver concluso la carriera sul campo nel 2002, ha scelto di intraprendere subito il percorso dirigenziale attraverso esperienze che gli hanno permesso di sviluppare una conoscenza profonda delle dinamiche del calcio professionistico. Nel 2015 inizia un’importante parentesi internazionale all’Anderlecht contribuendo alla strutturazione e allo sviluppo dell’attività di osservazione del club belga. La prima esperienza con la Juventus prende forma nel 2018, quando entra a far parte dell’area scouting internazionale. Nel corso dei quattro anni successivi, si occupa principalmente del monitoraggio dei giocatori in prestito e dei rapporti con club internazionali, seguendo da vicino lo sviluppo dei calciatori sotto contratto con il club, in particolare quelli impegnati all’estero. Durante questo primo legame con il Club bianconero, conclusosi nel 2022, contribuisce anche alle fasi iniziali del progetto Seconda Squadra. Dopo il successivo percorso professionale che lo ha visto protagonista al Genoa, per Marco Ottolini si apre ora una nuova sfida a Torino. Il ritorno alla Juventus, questa volta nel ruolo di Direttore Sportivo, rappresenta un approdo naturale per un cammino costruito su competenza, visione e conoscenza approfondita del calcio italiano e internazionale. Bentornato Direttore e buon lavoro!".

Non sto vedendo la partita. Sta giocando bene il Torino?

5-0 ci ricorda qualcosa

Il gol di McKennie é chiaramente favorito dall'intervento del gatto, dodicesimo bianconero in campo.

“Super professional” Spalletti praises his players after beating Cremonese Luciano Spalletti has spoken with pride about his players and has made it clear that he is enjoying working with the group as they continue to impress him. The men in black and white appointed him as their manager last year, and since then, the squad has worked hard to ensure they remain competitive. There is a growing sense that Juventus are moving in the right direction after a prolonged period of uncertainty. ............ Spalletti has focused on rebuilding belief within the squad and reminding players why they were signed in the first place. His approach has helped Juventus rediscover structure, confidence, and consistency. The team now plays with greater assurance, and there is a clear sense of collective responsibility across the pitch. If they avoid falling back into old habits, Juventus appear capable of returning to winning ways and competing for trophies again. The improvement in form suggests that Spalletti understands how to maximise the resources at his disposal. His ability to raise standards without overcomplicating his message has allowed players to regain confidence and contribute more effectively. ............ After their win against Cremonese, Spalletti praised the attitude of his squad. He said: “The aim was to make the players believe they had superior potential, because they were looked at before being bought. Having previously met some of them, whether through television or playing against them, I was convinced they could do more, but when you start working, you never know where you’ll end up, because it can go one way or another. I found them incredibly helpful, decent guys, super professional and intelligent, and that’s what makes the difference: the common sense needed to develop the skills you need to do when you play for Juventus.” .

“They’re back to dominate” Giannichedda praises Juventus after Cremonese win Juventus delivered a commanding 5 to 0 victory against Cremonese last night, once again underlining that they are one of the teams to fear in Serie A this season. The performance reflected the consistent progress the Bianconeri have made, as they continue to work relentlessly to ensure their squad is in peak condition and capable of competing for honours. Results like this highlight the growing belief within the club that this campaign can still end on a positive note. The men in black and white possess several high-quality players, yet many of them struggled to perform under the club’s previous two coaches. That situation has now changed significantly. ............ Juventus continue to apply pressure to the teams above them in the league table, keeping itself firmly in the conversation as they attempt to edge back into the title race. The comprehensive win against Cremonese was another example of a team growing in confidence and cohesion as the season progresses. One of the most striking aspects of Juventus’ recent form is the collective nature of their performances. Players across the pitch are showing greater understanding, discipline, and intensity, which has translated into convincing results. The team’s structure allows individuals to thrive within a system that values work rate and tactical awareness. ............ Former Juventus midfielder Giuliano Giannichedda was impressed by the performance and the wider trajectory of the team. He said: “It was a very important victory, a sign of a Juventus team that continues to improve. The improvements in their play in recent weeks are clear for all to see, and Spalletti is a coach who works hard on the pitch and is doing an excellent job. They’re a team that’s eager, that takes to the field with the right attitude, and they know they’re back to getting results against all the others. And above all, they’re back to dominate.” .

Opinion: The real reason Spalletti is the man Juventus need Luciano Spalletti has impressed since becoming Juventus manager, and he is expected to remain in charge for the foreseeable future. Under his guidance, the Bianconeri have developed into a promising and progressive team, demonstrating the ability to perform consistently and compete at the top of the league. Juventus has worked hard to reach this stage, and the club is determined to avoid returning to the low points that marked previous periods under earlier managers. ............ One of Spalletti’s most notable strengths is his ability to get the best out of players who struggled under previous management. Several individuals who were close to being sold have been revived under his leadership, demonstrating renewed form and confidence. For example, Jonathan David has been reinvigorated, showing that Spalletti can identify potential and adapt it to the team’s needs. This skill is a key attribute of a successful manager, as it allows him to strengthen the squad without relying solely on new signings. ............ Spalletti’s approach ensures that when Juventus acquire new talent, these players can be integrated effectively, becoming valuable components of a well-functioning side. By combining tactical knowledge with an ability to motivate and optimise player performance, he has laid the groundwork for sustained success. ............ .

Juventus 5 - Cremonese 0: Initial reaction and random observations If the message from Luciano Spalletti before kickoff was to not make things as tricky against Cremonese on Monday night as they were back on the first day of November, it’s safe to say his Juventus squad took it to heart. In a major kind of way, too. Juventus didn’t just pick up three points against Cremonese at the Allianz Stadium. It wasn’t just a win that sent them into third place ahead of Napoli and Roma on goal differential. It was a 5-0 hammering that involved Spalletti’s squad playing some very good football and also having Lady Luck fully on their side for what feels like the first time in a long time. Juventus didn’t just beat Cremonese — they absolutely steamrolled them. They were up 3-0 before the first half was over. And Spalletti didn’t just have his team sit back and chill during the second half. Nope, not at all. They were pushing for a fourth, a fifth and even a sixth. While that sixth goal never arrived, they certainly had the intent there to try and score it. They’re now just a point off second-place AC Milan and four away from league-leading Inter Milan, although both of the San Siro’s occupants do have a game in hand. Either way, it’s quite the showing to prove to us just how far Spalletti’s squad has come since his first game as Juventus manager in Cremona a little over two months ago. ............ Since Spalletti’s first game in charge on Nov. 1, Juventus now have the second-best record in the league, collecting a total of 24 points in 11 Serie A fixtures. That trails only to the 25 points put up by Inter, who have lost just once since the first week of November. (They also have a game in hand because of the Supercoppa, but that has been repeated many times already, so we’ll just leave it there.) ............ With Monday night’s win, Juventus are now level with Inter when it comes to the best home record this season. And we don’t have to mess with any sort of game in hand this time, either. Juve’s got 10 home fixtures played. So does Inter. If it wasn’t for a couple of those frustrating draws under Igor Tudor and then Spalletti, then Juve would certainly have the best home record in the league. ............ Juventus recorded 17 shots against Cremonese. Ten of those shots were on goal — and it could have easily been a lot more if not for a few offsides calls. This is the same Juve team that was struggling to both score and create scoring chances during the final days of Tudor’s managerial spell in Turin. Now, though, they’re out here just pushing and pushing to create more and more. They’re coming from different sources and they’re not just only creating things through their talented albeit still very young No. 10. They’re moving so much better now compared to when Tudor was in charge. The proof is in what they’re doing on the field. Monday night’s win, all of 72 days after Spalletti’s debut against this same Cremonese, was a reminder to us all of how much good he’s done in a still-relatively short amount of time as manager. The bigger tests will come in short order — looking at you, Napoli game on Jan. 25 — but for now the team is playing as well as they have (and consistently, too!) in a long time. ............ RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS ............ Bremer’s waves, by the way … looking very, very good. Did Bremer also somewhat hard launch him and his partner having another baby? That goal celebration might be a pretty good hint considering that’s exactly what players do in those situations. Two VAR decisions in one half and they both go Juventus’ way? Am I dreaming or what? Cue all the conspiracy theorists because you know they are going to have a field day with those VAR decisions. It’s like meat on a stick for them. Poor Fabio Miretti. Gets a potential goal to his name go to Bremer and then a lovely would-be assist on what proved to be an own goal after Weston McKennie’s shot. That pass was lovely. So, let’s play the game with how he’s playing right now: If both are healthy, do you start Miretti or do you go with Francisco Conceição? It really decent luxury to have, but Miretti feels like the player you just gotta go with because he’s doing so many good things at the moment. Speaking of nice passes, that pass from Manuel Locatelli to spring the counterattack on Jonathan David’s goal was fantastic. So was the run from Khephren Thuram. The finish from David wasn’t too bad, either. Are we starting to see the David-demption tour begin? Because it might be looking that way. And finding form right before the tougher opponents arrive on the schedule later this month? Nice timing, JD. ............ Kenan Yildiz has matched his goal tally from all of last season. It’s the second week of January! You know what I said about luck earlier on? That bounce right back to Yildiz so that he could score the goal after he didn’t convert his penalty is what happens when the things are going your way. Seriously, a 5-0 win. Wouldn’t have thought that was possible out of this team. Milan play Como on Thursday. That’s another chance to see some dropped points. That happens and Juventus can suddenly go second for a few hours? That’s pretty remarkable with how this season started out. I’m still hedging on Scudetto thoughts just because I know there are much more difficult opponents to come over the next few weeks. But to be playing like this against teams Juventus should be beating and they’re actually doing just that? Yeah, that’s the good stuff, Luciano. We love to see it. Beating a team 5-0 is a pretty good way to start the week.
