    Juventus closing in on deal for Lazio’s Felipe Anderson on a free transfer

    Could Juve be welcoming their first addition for the 2024-25 season in short order?

     

    Juventus FC v SS Lazio: Semi-final - Coppa Italia

     

     

    When you are a club like Juventus that currently has very limited funds at the ready and have had to rely on business daddy to cover the most recent fiscal year’s losses, trying to find a deal or two on the transfer market feels inevitable.

     

    One of those deals looks to be close to crossing the finish line.

     

    According to Fabrizio Romano, Juventus are “one step away” from completing a deal for Lazio winger Felipe Anderson on a free transfer come this summer. Anderson, who turns 31 years old in less than a week, has been rumored off and on over the last couple of months to be in contract talks with Lazio, but clearly they have reached the point of no return. And Juventus, with the possibility of a managerial change becoming more and more possible come the summertime and the very obvious need for more depth no matter who the manager is come the start of the 2024-25 season, see a chance to bring in a very experienced player in Italy as well as somebody who wouldn’t cost the club much in terms of a transfer fee or salary.

     

    There have yet to be any sort of details about how long the Brazilian would sign for or what his wages would be when he does come to a full agreement on a deal with Juventus. Anderson’s salary at Lazio is around €1.5 million net this season. ............

     

    Where Anderson would fit in at Juve obviously depends on who the next manager will be. Since taking over at Lazio a couple of weeks ago, igor Tudor has used Anderson as a wingback, so go ahead and get your “What happens if he plays for Max Allegri?” thoughts out of your mind right now. Under Tudor’s predecessor, Maurizio Sarri, Anderson was very much back to where he’s suited as a winger in a three-man frontline. ............

    Allegri: Juventus know what our limitations are

    Juve finally get back to winning ways

     

    Juventus v ACF Fiorentina - Serie A TIM

     

     

    It's no surprise that if Juventus were finally going to get back to winning ways, it would be in prime Allegriball manner, with minimal possession playing counterattacking football and relying on set pieces for goals.

     

    Well, Fiorentina became the latest side to come to the Juventus Stadium this season and get beaten that way in a 1-0 win for Massimiliano Allegri's side.

     

    Speaking after the game, the coach talked about the effort his side were putting in.

     

    “We work every day to improve. There are also moments psychologically, as we had not won in Serie A for a while. We ran no risks in the first half, had three goals disallowed for offside by a matter of centimetres, then also created chances in the second.

     

    “It’s true that we risked conceding the equaliser late on after a technical error, but I would not reproach the lads for anything.

     

    “They are having a good season, we are doing everything we can to get as many points as possible. We kept a second consecutive clean sheet and victory, so that is important progress.” ............

     

    “In football there are two teams, with two different jerseys, we are the Bianconeri, they are the Viola. We want to keep the ball for 90 minutes, have 30 shots on goal, but I don’t think anyone can do that even in their dreams.

     

    “We know what our limitations are. At this stage of the season, the most important thing is the result. I don’t see many teams who avoid allowing a single shot on target, we do our best, but the lads are doing well.”

     

    The game statistics were not flattering for Juventus, with just 227 passes and 25% possession, compared to the Viola's 675 passes and 75% on the ball.

     

    “We try to play in the opposition half for 90 minutes, but there are opponents too. The idea is to play with a high press, push the other team into their own half and pass it more cleanly.

     

    “We should’ve been 2-0 up at half-time, we didn’t get the second goal, inevitably Fiorentina would come out fighting. We had a few opportunities on the counter-attack and should’ve done better.” ............

     

    “These are extraordinary lads, we have the objective of Champions League qualification and are on track. Perhaps seeing how the season went, we had too many points early in the season and too few in the second stage.” ............

    Juventus 1 - Fiorentina 0: Initial reaction and random observations

    A strong first half was replaced by a second half in which Juve barely touched the ball. Yet, thankfully, it was enough for the Bianconeri to record their first league win in nearly two months.

     

    Juventus v ACF Fiorentina - Serie A TIM

     

     

    There was one reason and one reason only as to why this wasn’t a complete runaway after 45 minutes Sunday night: Of the four times Juventus found the back of the net, three of them were wiped out thanks to VAR ruling things offside. That meant that Juve had to make a Federico Gatti goal 20 minutes in stand rather than having a stress-free second half for the first time in months.

     

    That meant things went the way of the first time these two teams met this season back in November: sit back and protect the lead.

     

    Sit back they did. A lot.

     

    But protect the lead they did, too. Although they can thank their keeper who was in his highlight green kit for that on a rare occurrence Fiorentina actually put something on frame.

     

    A one-goal lead through Gatti’s latest eventual game-winning goal that would have been two or three (at least) if not for the offside rule being such a cruel thing saw Juve revert back to basically what they did in Florence back in November. That meant essentially dare Fiorentina to break down their defense no matter how much of the ball they had. And La Viola had a whole hell of a lot of it, but a simply stunning 84% possession after the break only resulted in a few genuine chances, none of which were able to get past Wojciech Szczesny a couple of moments of simply world-class goalkeeping, as Juve held on for a 1-0 win over Fiorentina.

     

    It was Juve’s first league victory since they beat Frosinone on Feb. 25.

     

    And it was just Juve’s second league victory since the draw against Empoli in late-January started this nine-game run in which things went more than just a little sideways. ............

     

    With the way the first half was going, you didn’t really care who scored a goal that counted, you just wanted Juventus to get a goal that counted. It didn’t matter if it was Gatti or Dusan Vlahovic, just something that stood after they had basically every single quality scoring chance and also limited Fiorentina to next to nothing on the other end of the field. Of course, we didn’t expect a goal to be called off due to offside on THREE DIFFERENT INSTANCES, but that is just the reality of what happened. Juve were playing well, but the offside calls were simply the one thing holding them back from running away with it.

     

    Then that second half ... boy, that second half sure was something.

     

    Lemme just drop a couple of stats on your real quick:

    • In the second half alone, Fiorentina had nearly 300 more passes than Juventus, 345-69 (nice?).
    • In the second half, Fiorentina had the aforementioned 84% possession.
    • Despite all of that possession, Fiorentina had an xG of just 0.43.

    It was negative from Juventus, don’t get me wrong there. This was almost a direct replica of what Juve did back in Florence earlier this season without Fiorentina just launching cross after cross after cross into the box simply because they played much of the second half without any sort of reference point up front after taking out Andrea Belotti.

     

    But the thing that stuck with me about Fiorentina’s performance was, despite SOOOOOO MUCH possession, how empty all of it was. Outside of the two big saves Szczesny made late in the half, he really had nothing of note to do outside of collect a handful of crosses. Most of Fiorentina’s shots were low-percentage shows from outside the box that went well wide or ones that were blocked by a Juve defender. ............

     

    RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS

    • YOU PUT SOME RESPECT ON WOJCIECH SZCZESNY’S NAME AND YOU DO IT RIGHT NOW.
    • I mean, come on — that’s one of the best saves Szczesny has made since he became Juve’s No. 1. Literally got his fingertips on the ball, which was just enough to redirect it onto the far post and keep it out of the net. It’s just so, so good on so many levels.
    • I’m gonna watch that save so many times over the next couple of hours. You can probably assume this post was sent live later than originally planned simply because I was watching the replay of Tek’s save a few more times just because it was so good.
    • Juventus xG: 2.09
    • Fiorentina xG: .054
    • This game is dumb sometimes. It really is.
    • Two Juventus goals called off within the first 12 minutes. Sure, one was more obvious than the other, but I’m guessing you didn’t have that one on the bingo card. Little did we know ...
    • I can’t remember a game in which Juventus had three goals called off due to offside over 90 minutes, let alone in less than 45 minutes. That’s just crazy.
    • The offside rule robbed us of another Vlahovic goal assisted by Weston McKennie. Don’t they know that these things matter to us and we want to see this trend continue?! ............
    • I wonder if Michael Kayode is interested in signing with Juventus over the next few years. Or maybe it’s better phrased this way: would Kayode be interested in coming back to Juventus? That’s a 19-year-old fullback with a bright, bright future and it’s very unfortunate that he didn’t stick with Juve’s youth setup. ............
    • Only two Juventus players, Bremer and Andrea Cambiaso, completed more than 80% of their passes against Fiorentina. That, no matter what your possession numbers are, is not good at all, my friends.
    • Juve’s three starting central midfielders COMBINED to attempt 49 passes. That’s WILD.
    • Manuel Locatelli, while playing well defensively, attempted 13 passes. Thirteen! Madness.
    • Filip Kostic attempted nine passes. That’s crazy, too. ............
    • Well, at least Juventus won. So there’s that. Thank goodness because writing about more dropped points really wasn’t something I was in the mood to do.

    Juventus Player Ratings vs Fiorentina: Gatti the “Corto Muso” Hero

    Juventus 1-0 Fiorentina - Federico Gatti seals win as Old Lady keep pace with AC Milan in race for second in Serie A - Eurosport

     

    Juventus (3-5-2)

    Wojciech Szczesny – 7

    The Pole was a spectator in the first half, but then had a massive save to pull off on Nico Gonzalez’s curler. He was just able to fingertip the shot towards the woodwork to maintain a clean sheet.

    Federico Gatti – 7.5

    The former Frosinone man emerged as the ultimate hero after finding himself in the right place to poach his fourth of the season. But aside from the goal, his contributions at the back were crucial. Never gave Christian Kouame or Riccardo Sottil a chance.

    Gleison Bremer – 6.5

    A powerful display in defense from the Brazilian who nullified Andrea Belotti and M’Baye Nzola. Hit the post with a solid header, which culminated in Gatti’s winner.

    Danilo – 6.5

    The Juventus captain had Gonzalez in his back pocket for the vast majority of the match. A solid showing.

    Andrea Cambiaso – 6

    The former Genoa man wasn’t as inspirational as he was in midweek, but it still passes as a decent display, although he faded later on.

    Weston McKennie – 6

    The American thought he produced his tenth assist of the season, but was denied by VAR. Did well to keep Jack Bonaventura quiet.

    Manuel Locatelli – 5.5

     ............

    Adrien Rabiot – 5.5

     ............

    Filip Kostic – 6.5

     ............

    Dusan Vlahovic – 6.5

    The Juventus Number 9 was certainly craving a goal against his former employers, but was unlucky to be denied by Bremer’s unintentional touch on the first occasion and then a marginal offside position. Afterwards, he got frustrated by his team’s rigid second-half display, and rightly so,

    Federico Chiesa – 6

    The former Fiorentina man didn’t set the world on fire but it was a decent shift nonetheless. Produced a lovely cross to McKennie which culminated in a disallowed goal for Juventus. He also dropped deep to support his teammates at the back.

    Substitutes

    Samuel Iling-Junior – 5.5

     ............

    Kenan Yildiz – 5.5

    The Turkish teenager was left starving for the ball and had some dirty work to do. But still showcased his talent on those rare occasions.

    Carlos Alcaraz – 5.5

     ............

    Moise Kean – N/A

    Gatti the match winner as Juventus scrape past Fiorentina

    Gatti-Fiorentina.jpg

     

     

    Juventus started the game eager to continue their fine form from their 2-0 win against Lazio in their last match.

     

    Within six minutes, they had the ball in the back of the net, but Weston McKennie’s strike was ruled out for offside. ............

     

    Six minutes later, the ball was in the back of the net again for Juventus, but the goal was similarly disallowed for offside.

     

    Bremer then rose highest to head the ball towards the goal, but it hit the post for the unlucky hosts. This time, Federico Gatti was on hand to turn in the rebound.

     

    Juve finally had a goal and kept pushing for the second before halftime, and they thought they had it when Dusan Vlahovic tapped in a fine headed assist from McKennie.

     

    However, replays showed the American was marginally offside, and Juve had a third goal of the half disallowed. ............

     

    Juventus kept threatening at the restart and could have scored a second as Milenkovic deflected a Filip Kostic cross agonisingly close to scoring an own goal.

     

    Max Allegri then switched things around, replacing Kostic with Samuel Iling-Junior and Federico Chiesa with Kenan Yildiz.

     

    Yildiz nearly got in on the act immediately, but Michael Kayode defended well against the youngster.

     

    Despite making changes, both teams kept looking for the next goal, but neither could get close enough to finding it twenty minutes after the break.

     

    Nico Gonzalez had been a problem for Juventus in this half and tested Wojciech Szczesny with a stunning curling shot, but the Polish goalie pushed it onto the bar and out. It was an excellent save for the Juve number one. ............

     

     

    La Viola then had three corners in quick succession as Juventus struggled to hold onto their lead, but the Bianconeri defended well.

     

    Despite more late trouble from Fiorentina, Juve held on to win back-to-back games and give the fans something to cheer.

    Federico-Gatti-Juventus-Fiorentina-goal-1.jpg

     

     

    Federico Gatti’s tap-in proved enough for Juventus to beat Fiorentina, along with a stunning Wojciech Szczesny save on Nico Gonzalez and three disallowed goals. ............

     

    Weston McKennie had the ball in the net at the sixth minute, but only after he had wandered offside.

     

    Juve scored again on 12 minutes, but Federico Gatti came sliding on to a Filip Kostic cross and turned it onto the underside of the bar, Vlahovic meeting the rebound, but Gleison Bremer was offside and made contact on the way through.

     

    The pair were involved again when the hosts did finally make one count, as a corner found Bremer’s looping header to bounce off the far post, then Gatti tapped in the rebound from point-blank range.

     

    Incredibly, Juve had a third goal disallowed at the 32nd minute because McKennie was offside when he nodded down the Chiesa cross for Vlahovic to tap in from close range. This one was much closer than the other two, but caught by VAR. ............

     

    Kenan Yildiz threatened to score with his first touch, cut off by fellow teenager Michael Kayode, while Vlahovic failed to make the most of a misplaced pass in the final third.

     

    Fiorentina came extraordinarily close when Nico Gonzalez cut inside to bend a strike towards the far top corner, but Szczesny at full stretch managed to fingertip it onto the underside of the crossbar on 74 minutes. It was the 17th time the Viola hit the frame of the goal this season, more than any other Serie A side. ............

     

     

    Juve increasingly sat deep as Fiorentina threw everything at them, but the black and white wall held out. It opens up a four-point cushion between the Bianconeri and fourth-placed Bologna.
