Juventus player ratings against Inter – One player earns top rating Juventus secured a 1-0 win against Inter this evening in a controlled manner, and here are our players’ ratings. Michele Di Gregorio – 7.5 ............ Timothy Weah – 7.0 Weah rose to the occasion, performing well both defensively and when pushing forward. Federico Gatti – 7.0 Motta values his determination to get forward, and it was evident again today. He played like a warrior and nearly scored a poacher’s goal. Renato Veiga – 8.0 With performances like this, Juventus must seriously consider signing Veiga permanently. He was the best centre-back on the pitch. Nicolo Savona – 7.0 ............ Khéphren Thuram – 7.0 He replaced Manuel Locatelli in the line-up, and Juventus benefited from his physicality and excellent ball-carrying ability. Teun Koopmeiners – 7.0 He looked far more comfortable playing deeper and delivered an assured performance in midfield. Weston McKennie – 7.5 ............ Francisco Conceição – 8.5 He never stopped running at the Inter defence and was rewarded for his efforts with the winning goal. Nicolás González – 7.0 ............ Randal Kolo Muani – 7.5 His superb dribbling created the chance for Conceição’s goal, and the Inter defenders struggled to contain him. Substitutes Andrea Cambiaso – 7.0 It was great to have him back, and Juventus improved as soon as he stepped onto the pitch. Manuel Locatelli – 6.5 ............ Kenan Yıldız – N/A .

Juventus 1 - Inter 0: Initial reaction and random observations As Juventus walked off the Allianz Stadium field at halftime Sunday night, you very much had the feeling that they were a lucky, lucky group to not be trailing in the Derby d’Italia. Inter Milan had very much put Juve’s defense under plenty of pressure, and it’s not like the Bianconeri were showing truly capable of completely handling all of it. ............ Juventus went from a stretched and turnover-prone unit to one that very much looked like it was working in tandem with one another. That, in turn, allowed Juventus to be much more dangerous going forward, with the 74th-minute game-winner from Francisco Conceição the ultimate payoff for the improvements made after the break. Randal Kolo Muani, somebody who has scored plenty of goals during his short time at Juventus, turned out to be the one doing the setting up, as his spinning assist set up Conceição to do the rest and give their team the 1-0 lead that ultimately proved to be the final score on the night. In a meeting of two teams that combined for eight goals at the San Siro back in late-October, it was one goal that made the difference in the return fixture back in Turin. ............ Juve went from getting outshot 13-7 in the first half to more than doubling up the shot total that Inter recorded despite not having the possession advantage. It was a stark contract from one half to the next in terms of how Juventus played at the back. The introduction of Andrea Cambiaso for Nicolo Savona certainly helped. Another strong performance from Renato Veiga definitely helped as well. But maybe more than anything was the simple fact that Juve weren’t gift-wrapping scoring chances and counterattacks to their opposition. Instead, there was just much more of a fluidity to Juve’s game after the break. ............ That defensive improvement resulted in Inter recording just four shots and none on target in the second half. After Inter racking up the xG in the first half, after the break they had a second-half total of just 0.26. It was, frankly, one of the bigger changes for the better we’ve seen from a Juve team coming out of the half under Thiago Motta’s watch. That allowed Juve to get one of their biggest wins of the season when they very much needed it. ............ With this win over Inter and Saturday’s result in the Italian capital between Napoli and Lazio, Juve are now up into fourth place and will stay there for more than a few hours. ............ RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS Considering all of the chances Inter had in the first half, I still have no idea how Juve went into the halftime break without allowing a goal. That may end up being something I think about a lot in the coming days. Something I will also be thinking about a lot about over the next few days: How in the hell did Kolo Muani keep the ball on his feet as he spun around and worked in such a tight window while being surrounded by multiple Inter players. It was just a brilliant piece of individual skill and something I feel like a certain other No. 9 wouldn’t have been able to do in the same kind of situation. As much as that finish from Conceição was a damn good one, the goal doesn’t happen if not for all of that work by Kolo Muani before he passed the ball. Simply brilliant. ............ Renato Veiga can also stay. We haven’t gotten the same quotes from Giuntoli regarding Veiga as we have when it comes to Kolo Muani, but he’s also found a home at Juventus after being “relegated” to the Conference League and random appearances as a left back during his first five months at Chelsea. And let’s be honest, it’s not like Chelsea don’t have about 50 other center backs on their books that can’t make fill a roster spot. ............ Speaking of Gatti, that man is stepping the hell up in recent games with Pierre Kalulu out injured. As good as he was to begin the 2024-25 season, he is probably playing even better now. Plus, as he showed against PSV Eindhoven midweek, this man loves the chance to make runs forward. And dammit, if they aren’t something that makes you chuckle just because he’s so aggressive with all of it, too. Nicolo Savona is a nice young man and I hope he can build a nice career at Juventus, but I fear after this night he’s going to be seeing Denzel Dumfries in his nightmares because holy smokes was one guy absolutely cooking the other. ............ The Tim Weah fullback experience continues to improve. I guess I’m here for it now. Weston McKennie led everybody with five key passes. That sure is a nice little development. Every single minute after Conceição scored was an absolute frenzy within Allianz Stadium. It hasn’t been like that a lot this season, but it sure was a return to better days of hearing the stadium like that during the final stretch of a big win over a big rival. Here’s to more of those. ............ Pretty good week with an important win in the Champions League and then a big win against Inter in the Derby d’Italia. I don’t know about you guys, but I’ll take that every time. ............

Dedicata all'Inter

Juventus Player Ratings vs Inter: Vibrant Conceicao Settles Derby d’Italia Juventus (4-1-4-1) Michele Di Gregorio – 7.5 The custodian was certainly made to work for his clean sheet, pulling off several exceptional saves, particularly on Mehdi Taremi in the first half and Denzel Dumfries in the second period. Timothy Weah – 6.5 ............ Federico Gatti – 7 Another brilliant showing at the back from the Italy international who made a string of vital interventions at the back and almost made the difference on the opposite end of the pitch. Renato Veiga – 6.5 The January signing had some nervy moments against Lautaro Martinez who managed to escape him on a few occasions, but it was an impressive display as he managed to rise to the occasion despite his limited Serie A experience. Nicolo Savona – 5.5 The young full-back was arguably the weakest link for Juventus as he had a torrid time against Denzel Dumfries. But to his credit, he’s having to play out of position since he’s originally a right-back. Khephren Thuram – 6 The Frenchman worked tirelessly in the middle of the park, but at times lacked the quality touch. Nevertheless, he prevailed in the battle of brothers under the eyeful watch of his father Lilian. Francisco Conceicao – 7.5 An electric display from the Porto loanee who never seems to run out of steam. He was a menacing presence on the right wing for the Nerazzurri, and kept his composure to score a goal he’ll cherish for the rest of his days. Weston McKennie – 6.5 ............ Teun Koopmeiners – 6 An improved display from the Dutchman who connected well with his teammates. He could have doubled the Old Lady’s lead, but his compatriot Dumfries denied him with a goal-line clearance. Nicolas Gonzalez – 7 ............ Randal Kolo Muani – 7 Although his scoring streak has come to an end, the French striker was decisive once more, as his brilliant piece of skill set up the winner for Conceicao. He had a tough start to the contest since Francesco Acerbi represented a culture shock, but he gradually imposed his will as his opponent began to physically fade. Substitutes Andrea Cambiaso – 6.5 ............ Manuel Locatelli – 6 ............ . Read more -> https://cultofcalcio.com/juventus-player-ratings-vs-inter-vibrant-conceicao-settles-derby-ditalia/

Thiago Motta: ‘Juventus deserved win in second half, but struggle at home’ Thiago Motta admits Juventus had a ‘different energy’ in the second half and through that deserved to beat Inter, but hints at the frosty rapport with fans. ‘We seem to struggle at home.’ ............ Despite the fact Inter had a full week to prepare for this match, it was Juve who seemed sharper after the break and stepped up the intensity level. “We certainly had a different energy in the second half. The first was difficult against a very strong opponent, but I felt we showed them too much respect, allowed them too much time on the ball,” Thiago Motta said. “We know they have a lot of quality and like to move around, but if you don’t press them, then you will end up struggling. That is something we did much better in the second half.” ............ “Khephren played very well, but he had cramp and we had planned a change too because the midfield was a tough role today and we knew Manuel Locatelli could keep the level up with fresh legs, use the ball well and create goal-scoring opportunities.” ............ “Victories naturally help our self-esteem. We did not deserve to win in the first half, as Inter were superior, so you won’t get far on luck alone. We deserved it in the second half. I have seen us struggle many times playing at home and we did it again in the first half tonight, whereas we seem to have more freedom in the away fixtures,” added Thiago Motta. “In the second half, we pressed high, played good football, earned the win and this boosts our confidence.” ............ “I think the lads above all deserve the support of their fans, because you can see how hard they work every day, giving their all on the field for the good of the team and the good of Juventus.” This result takes Juventus up to joint fourth place alongside Lazio on 46 points, now only five behind Atalanta and eight adrift of Inter in second. .

Khephren Thuram jokes Lilian ‘more anxious’ than him or Marcus Khephren Thuram reveals playing against his brother Marcus in Juventus vs. Inter was ‘like in the garden at home,’ but jokes their father Lilian was ‘more anxious than we were.’ Juve won the Derby d’Italia in Turin thanks to a Francisco Conceicao angled drive set up by Randal Kolo Muani’s delightful turn, as the hosts came out fighting after the break following a strong Inter start. This was the fourth consecutive win in all competition for the Bianconeri, who have now climbed up to joint fourth place in Serie A alongside Lazio. “We are happy to have got the victory this evening, as we were against a great Inter side and it gives us confidence going forward,” Thuram said. ............ “I had more defensive duties this evening, but we are a team and have to know who we are up against. I had to drop a little deeper tonight to balance the more attacking players.” ............ For a few minutes in that second half, Khephren Thuram was up against brother Marcus, who came off the bench for Inter. What did that feel like? “It was wonderful, like playing in the garden at home. It is a dream for me to play against him,” grinned Khephren. ............ Their father Lilian was in the stands of the Allianz Juventus Stadium and did not sit down once, as he stood up the entire time watching his two sons face off against each other. “He was more anxious than we were, I think!” .

Player Ratings: Juventus 1-0 Inter – Conceiçao and Veiga shine, Lautaro nightmare ............ Juventus Di Gregorio 6.5 – Confident with the ball at his feet. Super save on Dumfries, although Thuram had committed a foul in the build-up. Weah 6.5 – ............ Gatti 7 – Rock solid at the back and made some dangerous forward runs in the second half. Renato Veiga 7.5 – Superb performance from the Chelsea loanee. Tough to beat Physically and composed on the ball (88% passing accuracy). Savona 5 – Struggled against Dumfries in the first half. He was less under pressure after the break, but his substitution was inevitable (59′ Cambiaso 7) Koopmeiners 6 – He was supposed to be the Juventus playmaker but was too slow on the ball. Way better in the second half when he played in a more advanced position and came close to scoring the second. K Thuram 6.5 – A tough first half for the Frenchman, but his physicality emerged in the second half when he inspired Juventus’ attacking manoeuvres. (77′ Locatelli 6). Conceiçao 8 – Scored a beautiful goal that gave him a massive boost as he continued to sprint, attack and defend until he was subbed off. (81′ Yildiz N/A). McKennie 6.5 – ............ Nico Gonzalez 6 – ............ Kolo Muani 7 – He had the best chance in the first half, but his shot on target was deflected and resulted in a corner for the Bianconeri. Contributed to Conceiçao’s opener with a fantastic roulette in the build-up. Coach: Motta 7 – Juventus’ first-half performance was frankly disappointing as Inter had more than a chance to take the lead, but substitutions made a difference for the Old Lady this time. ............ .

Juventus defeat Inter Milan to make it four wins in a row Juventus stunned Inter Milan with a 1-0 victory to move back into the top four this evening, thanks to a Francisco Conceição goal. Juventus were aiming for a fourth consecutive win, but Inter Milan began determined to disrupt their momentum. ............ Juventus began the second half with far more intent than they had shown in the first, applying pressure on Inter and holding possession more effectively. That persistence was rewarded when Kolo Muani provided a superb assist for Conceição, who slotted in the opener. Three minutes later, Juventus were inches away from doubling their lead, but Dumfries produced a vital goal-line clearance to deny Teun Koopmeiners. Inter Milan pushed hard to find an equaliser, but Juventus defended resolutely and were not afraid to create further chances. ............ Ultimately, the Bianconeri did not need another goal, seeing out the match to secure a vital victory and extend their winning run. .

Serie A | Juventus 1-0 Inter: Conceicao decides fiery Derby d’Italia Francisco Conceicao’s goal from a Randal Kolo Muani assist allowed Juventus to win the Derby d’Italia, stop Inter becoming the new leaders and puts the Old Lady in joint fourth place. The Nerazzurri had the opportunity to leapfrog Napoli and take top spot, while a win would put the Bianconeri level with Lazio in fourth place. ............ When these sides met back in October, the Bianconeri fought back from 4-2 down to draw a 4-4 thriller at San Siro. ............ Andrea Cambiaso made his return after several weeks out and Marcus Thuram was also introduced for Inter, playing with painkillers after an ankle injury. ............ Kolo Muani gathered a loose ball on the edge of the area, spun round to extricate himself from a crowd of defenders and when blocked off, it landed at the feet of Conceicao to sweep into the far bottom corner with the inside of the left boot from 12 yards, through Benjamin Pavard’s legs. It was so nearly 2-0 moments later, as the Koopmeiners angled drive had beaten Sommer only to be cleared off the line by Dumfries. ............ .

Serie A Preview: Juventus vs Inter – Team News, Line-ups & Prediction Sunday’s Serie A action caps off at the Allianz Stadium with the 184th Serie A edition of the famous Derby d’Italia between Juventus and Inter. Expectations among fans and pundits alike are sky-high following a spectacular 4-4 draw in October’s reverse fixture. ............ Juve are still part of the top-four picture, trailing fourth-placed Lazio by three points ahead of the kick-off. Unlike their arch-rivals, reigning holders Inter are going toe-to-toe with table-topping Napoli. In fact, they could leapfrog Antonio Conte’s side at the summit with a win. ............ Match Preview Juventus Spirits should be high around the Juventus camp following a late 2-1 home triumph against PSV Eindhoven in the first leg of their Champions League knockout playoff tie. Indeed, that was their third consecutive win in all competitions, with each seeing them concede precisely once. Juventus’ mini-revival after a three-game winless run (D1, L2) has coincided with Randal Kolo Muani’s loan arrival from Paris Saint-Germain. The French forward scored on his Serie A debut as Napoli inflicted Juventus’ first league defeat under Motta. Unfazed by an unwanted result in his maiden league appearance for Juventus, Kolo Muani has netted back-to-back doubles to inspire his new team to victories against Como and Empoli. As a result, the record-time champions head into proceedings on a first set of successive league wins since early November. Making it three in a row would see Juventus win three top-flight home outings in succession for the first time this season. Inter ............ Team News Juventus are still without long-term absentees Arkadiusz Milik, Gleison Bremer, Juan Cabal, and Pierre Kalulu. Andrea Cambiaso is also on the sidelines, with Douglas Luiz ruled out with a muscle problem. Winter signing Lloyd Kelly should be on the bench after missing training due to illness. ............ Juventus vs Inter Potential Starting Line-ups Juventus (4-1-4-1): Di Gregorio; Weah, Gatti, Veiga, Savona; Thuram; Conceicao, Koopmeiners, McKennie, Mbangula; Kolo Muani. Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Taremi. Juventus vs Inter Prediction The reverse fixture was somewhat of an anomaly. Other recent Serie A meetings between Juventus and Inter have often been evenly-contested games. Given the significance of this encounter, we can envisage a low-scoring affair and probably another share of the spoils. Prediction: Draw .

Juventus vs Inter probable lineups: Motta revamps his midfield On Sunday night, Juventus and Inter will lock horns for the campaign’s second edition of the Derby d’Italia. While the two sides shared the spoils in a dramatic 4-4 at San Siro, both will be aiming for the bragging rights this time around. But with a decisive Champions League play-off contest to negotiate in just three days, Thiago Motta will be looking to add some fresh legs to his lineup. The Juventus boss will be making a few tactical tweaks on the wings and in the middle of the park. Khephren Thuram will play as a defensive midfielder in a 4-1-4-1 formation, while Teun Koopmeinrs returns to the starting lineup to play in a more advanced role in midfield alongside Weston McKennie who preserves his spot following his heroics on Tuesday against PSV Eindhoven. Douglas Luiz picked up an injury while Manuel Locatelli could be rested. On the wings, Francisco Conceicao is expected to start for the first time in weeks following an impressive cameo in the Champions League. Nicolas Gonzalez should take the left wing, thus dropping Kenan Yildiz to the bench alongside Samuel Mbangula. Randal Kolo Muani will start in attack as usual, while Nicolo Savona is the only expected change at the back. The Italian should replace Lloyd Kelly on the left flank, while Timothy Weah, Federico Gatti and Renato Veiga keep their spots ahead of Michele Di Gregorio. ............ Juventus Probable XI (4-1-4-1): Di Gregorio; Weah, Gatti, Veiga, Savona; Thuram; Conceicao, McKennie, Koopmeiners, Gonzalez; Kolo Muani. Inter Probable XI (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi (De Vrij), Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro, Taremi (Thuram). .

Juventus vs. Inter match preview Out of all the Serie A draws that Juventus have been a part of this season — and there’s been a lot so sometimes it’s hard to keep track — there are few that have felt anything other than complete frustration. ............ Since that insane Kenan Yildiz-inspired comeback and 4-4 draw with Inter Milan at the San Siro back in October, Juventus’ season has not gone on the kind of trajectory that we hoped a result and fightback like we saw that night could kick into gear. Instead, the draws only continued to come at a more frequent pace, and certainly not in the same kind of fashion of the one against Inter. So now, with Inter competing for another Scudetto and Juventus very much now in a fight that could end up involving as many as four or five clubs to finish in fourth place and a Champions League position, they meet again as the venue shifts to the Allianz Stadium in Turin. It comes during a stretch in which Juventus have put back-to-back wins together in Serie A for just the third time this season but the overall performance level of Thiago Motta’s squad still leaves plenty to be desired. Sunday night’s matchup at the Allianz is very much one of the biggest remaining fixtures on the schedule and also a chance to show that they can actually claim a big win over a big club in Italy. ............ “The team is doing well, winning always brings extra energy,” Motta said at his pre-match press conference. “I see the lads motivated and I also feel energized.” ............ That means another Thuram derby between Marcus’ Inter and Khephren’s Juve is very much in the cards, but it is not much of the storyline like it was the first time around in October. The main theme going into Sunday night really is if this little winning run Juventus currently find themselves on will prove to be the much-needed confidence this team has been lacking. A big fixture like this, one of the most-heated atmospheres Motta’s squad will face the rest of this season, can either be a huge boost or — like what we saw last season around this time of the year — be a big blow to the confidence level of the entire squad. With Lazio holding Napoli to their third straight draw — hey look, somebody else can do that, too! — there is a chance Juventus can jump into fourth place with a win over the reigning Serie A champions. Whether Juve can do it or not is anybody’s guess. ............ TEAM NEWS The good injury news between the last time Juventus played and this one: Andrea Cambiaso returned to training on Friday. Although he’s not expected to start against Inter, it will be nice to have an actual left back available again. The not-so-good injury news between the last time Juventus played and this one: Douglas Luiz will miss the Derby d’Italia due to muscle fatigue he reported after Thursday’s training session. It’s just another setback for a player who has already had many of them this season. Winter signing Lloyd Kelly was forced to miss training Friday due to illness. It’s still unsure what his status will be for Sunday’s game against Inter. ............ What’s a key to potentially beating Inter on Sunday night in Motta’s mind? This is what he had to say about that: “To win, as I said, we have to work well together and earn it on the pitch. We have to earn victory, we have to always go for it. ............ MATCH INFO When: Sunday, Feb. 16, 2025. Where: Allianz Stadium, Turin, Italy. Official kickoff time: 8:45 p.m. in Italy and the Central European time zone, 7:45 p.m. in the United Kingdom, 2:45 p.m. Eastern time, 11:45 a.m. Pacific time. ............ .

Lorenzo Lucca reveals why Bremer is the strongest defender he has faced Udinese striker and former Juventus target Lorenzo Lucca has named Gleison Bremer as the toughest opponent he has faced. ............ His ability to shut down attackers is unmatched, and his absence from the Serie A pitch is certainly noticeable. One of the forward players who has struggled to get the better of Bremer in the past is Lucca. The Udinese star recently named Bremer as his toughest opponent so far, sharing his thoughts: “The player I’ve faced who has definitely given me the most trouble is Gleison Bremer. The Brazilian is physically built, but he’s also a very quick defender, good at anticipating and strong in one-on-one situations. Bremer is truly a great player.” Bremer’s qualities are undeniable. His physicality combined with his agility and tactical awareness make him one of the most formidable defenders in the game. He has been an essential part of Juventus’ backline and is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in the world. ............ .

Juventus vs Inter: Preview and Prediction Juventus have shown ample signs that they are ready to march forward rather than stutter in some important games. Following a disastrous season dominated by their propensity to draw games, the Bianconeri are currently on the mend and stitching together a good enough winning run. ............ Back on to league matters, Juventus are coming into this big Derby d’Italia at the back of consecutive wins over Empoli and Como, with Randal Kolo Muani the star of the show on both occasions. Now they face Inter Milan at home, as Thiago Motta will want to stake a claim at another chance to push for a higher place in the table. While Juventus’ immediate target would be to get back into Champions League places, Inter Milan have something bigger at stake ahead of this clash. The Nerazzuri are contesting a tightly fought title race, with Napoli sitting only a point above them at the top of the standings. ............ Team News & Tactics Juventus Motta will keep an eye on the second leg with PSV Eindhoven, which could influence his team’s selection for this one. The Bianconeri boss went with a changed lineup in midweek, meaning some of the regulars who sat on the bench for that clash could return to the fold. For instance, Khephren Thuram and Francisco Conceicao are all set for returns. Those changes could see Weston McKennie moving back into the left-back slot to decide his goalscoring display against PSV Eindhoven. Federico Gatti and Renato Veiga are expected to play in central defence, with Nicola Savona set to occupy the right-back slot. Manuel Locatelli and Thuram are expected back in the midfield setting, with Douglas Luiz likely to make way for the latter. On the injury front, there are no fresh problems, with Piere Kalulu, Arkadiusz Milik and Andrea Cambiaso the only ones set to return in the short term, as Juan Cabal and Gleison Bremer are out of the remainder of the campaign. In the attack, Koopmeiners will take up the No.10 role, while Mbangula might keep his place at the expense of Kenan Yildiz. Conceicao is likely to replace Nico Gonzalez, while Kolo Muani will continue to lead the line ahead of Dusan Vlahovic, who will find himself on the bench once again. Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1) – Di Gregorio; Savona, Gatti, Veiga, McKennie; Locatelli, Thuram; Conceicao, Koopmeiners, Mbangula; Kolo Muani Inter ............ Probable Lineup (3-5-2) – Sommer; Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni, Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez Key Stats Juventus are undefeated in 31 of their last 32 matches in Serie A. Juventus are targetting their first 4-game winning streak of the season. Inter are undefeated in 18 of their last 19 matches in Serie A. Inter are two points behind Napoli in the Serie A standings. Player to Watch Randal Kolo Muani After a stellar start to life in Turin, Kolo Muani will be eager to make a statement of sorts with a big performance against one of the top rivals. With Inter coming to Turin, he has a big game awaiting as Juventus look to continue on their good form of late. ............ Prediction Juventus 2-1 Inter Inter are coming into this clash with stuttering form despite winning their most recent league game against Fiorentina. They were also thumped by the same opposition away from home a few days prior, which casts some doubts over their performance on the road, as they could potentially drop points here and give Napoli the advantage. Juventus, on the other hand, are one of the strongest defensive teams in the league despite losing many of their backline personnel during the season. At home, they will look for their first four-game winning streak and make a statement of intent with a win over Inter by the narrowest of margins. .
