Conceicao reacts to Gatti’s Juventus bicycle kick: ‘He tries that sometimes’ Francisco Conceicao believes that Juventus need to improve if they are to win in the Champions League, insists that his side’s improved second half performance against Villarreal was not solely down to him, and has revealed that Federico Gatti attempting a bicycle kick is nothing new: ‘He tries that sometimes’. ............ Conceicao was the player of the match for Juventus on the night, but insists that his teammates already knew that they had to improve, and where to improve, before his introduction at half-time. “I’m not saying that (the game changed) because I came on, but that the team understood what we needed to improve at the end of the first half,” the Portuguese said after full-time. And on where Juventus need to improve generally, Conceicao said: “We have to train a little better: We improved in the second half but couldn’t get the win. “We missed another goal, which we deserved, but it must be said that we played a strong team. We have to continue, be strong and think about the next big challenge in Serie A.” ............ And a final word on Gatti, who scored with a bicycle kick in the second half: “He tries it sometimes, it’s great he managed to do it today. We have to continue working hard if we want to win in the Champions League.” . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/conceicao-reacts-gattis-juventus-bicycle-kick/

Champions League | Villarreal 2-2 Juventus – Conceicao comeback spoiled by Veiga Juventus had to settle for a hard-fought draw away against Villarreal in the Champions League on Tuesday night, as a last-minute header from former Bianconero defender Renato Veiga meant that Federico Gatti’s bicycle kick and Francisco Conceicao’s individual effort counted for just one point. ............ The Yellow Submarine came out firing early on in the first half: Nicolas Pepe looking particularly bright. The former Arsenal man beat Juan Cabal for pace multiple times, got the Colombian booked, almost won a penalty, before the Bianconeri defender was taken off with a hamstring injury 15 minutes in. The deadlock was broken almost immediately afterwards. Andrea Cambiaso shuffled over to the left to replace Cabal after his withdrawal, but was unable to stop Pepe and Mikautadze as they burst into the area. The Ivorian laid off for the Georgian, who slotted away a tidy, first-time finish. ............ Conceicao came on for Koopmeiners at the interval, and his impact was immediate. The Portuguese put one on a plate for David almost immediately after kick-off, only for the Canadian to skew off target from five yards out. Then, he won the throw-in right next to the corner flag which led to Gatti’s wondergoal. McKennie’s long throw was flicked on by Locatelli, only for Gatti to pull off a bicycle kick in the middle of the area. Conceicao then intercepted Dani Parejo’s loose back pass, carried the ball the length of the half and slotted past Arnau Tenas with ease one-on-one to put the Old Lady ahead. ............ Conceicao’s hard work was undone right at the last, however, when former Juventus defender Renato Veiga headed home from a corner in the final minute of regular time. Wednesday’s result means that Juventus have now picked up two consecutive draws in the Champions League, and four in a row across all competitions. Villarreal 2-2 Juventus Mikautadze (V) 18’, Gatti (J) 49′, Conceicao (J) 56′, Veiga (V) 90′. . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/champion-league-villarreal-2-2-juventus/

Tutti in difesa nel finale ......

Il gol dell'ex purtroppo

Molto bravo l'arbitro. Competente e carismatico. Non per niente ha arbitrato il 5-0 del PSG sui pentaperati.

Adzic nella posizione di Yildiz

David sfigato

Ora metterei Openda per il contropiede

FRANCISCO CONCEICAO 1-2

Un gol alla Luca Vialli

FEDERICO GATTI 1-1

Mannaggia David

Manuel forse l'unico positivo insieme a Perin

Alla fidanzata questo non interessa molto

Perin devia sul palo

Gol di Kakakadze

É finita la festa Cabal

Cabal non regge la velocitá di Pepé

Meno male che non ci hanno dato rigore contro

Marcelino ha una faccia enigmatica ..... per non dire peggio.

AFFONDIAMOLI!

Koopmeiners ha una faccia depressa che non promette niente di buono
