Buona Juve. Buona cena!

Se fosse vero, sarebbe il caso di informarne i tifosi. Ma la comunicazione di Giuntoli e Motta con il mondo esterno non é ottimale.

Non ne va bene una

Koop non va

Kenan vede cose invisibili al resto della squadra

Koopmeiners é un giocatore irriconoscibile dai tempi bergamaschi. Il motivo non lo conosco.

Accennavo al "caffé" di Gasperini. Alla Juve non si beve quella roba buona.

Ma la sta vedendo Motta sta partita? É in una "gabbia" in tribuna .....

Che carriera .......

Il "caffé" di Gasperini?

Lo so perché io da ragazzo ho vissuto a Barletta.

La Madonna dello Sterpeto é a Barletta?

Stats put Juventus ahead of Atalanta as both teams meet tonight If past encounters are any indication, Juventus appear to have the upper hand as they prepare to face Atalanta in Bergamo tonight. Both sides enter the match eager to shake off recent poor results, with neither managing to find consistent form. The Bianconeri have been struggling to secure enough wins and seem more focused on avoiding defeats than playing with the attacking intent required to dominate matches. ............ Historical statistics strongly favour Juventus ahead of this encounter. Out of 63 meetings between the two sides, Juventus have lost only eight, with La Dea winning just 20. Additionally, the Bianconeri have enjoyed significant success in Bergamo, remaining unbeaten in 18 of their last 19 away games against Atalanta. The only defeat in that run came in 2021, but since then, Juventus have maintained their dominance in this fixture. Furthermore, Atalanta have failed to score against Juventus in their last two home games, highlighting the defensive solidity the Bianconeri often bring to these encounters. These encouraging stats might give Juventus a psychological edge, but as ever in football, past records cannot guarantee future outcomes. The statistics may paint a favourable picture for Juventus, but it is crucial for the players to stay grounded and focused on the task at hand. Overconfidence can be dangerous, and Atalanta is not a team to be underestimated, particularly on their home turf. Every game presents unique challenges, and tonight’s match will be no different. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/stats-put-juventus-ahead-of-atalanta-as-both-teams-meet-tonight/

Cambiaso tipped to return to the Juventus starting XI against Atalanta Andrea Cambiaso has been making substitute appearances for Juventus in recent matches, but he is now expected to start in their crucial fixture against Atalanta. ............ As the Bianconeri prepare to face Atalanta tonight, they remain without several key players due to injuries. However, even among those available, Motta is reportedly considering a few adjustments to the starting lineup. One of these changes could involve Cambiaso starting the match as a right-back, replacing Nicolo Savona in that position. Another possibility is deploying Cambiaso as a left-back to allow Weston McKennie some much-needed rest. ............ With Atalanta presenting a formidable challenge, Juventus will need their top performers to rise to the occasion. ............ The entire Juventus squad understands the importance of securing a victory tonight. Beating Atalanta would not only boost morale but also help the team gain valuable points in their bid to salvage what has been a challenging campaign. Fans will be hoping to see every player in peak condition, giving their all to deliver a performance worthy of the occasion. ............ .

Juventus agree loan formula with PSG for Kolo Muani Juventus’s deal with Paris Saint-Germain for France international Randal Kolo Muani is now just a few formalities away from completion, as the two clubs have agreed to a straight loan deal without an option to buy according to the latest updates. PSG have agreed to send Kolo Muani out on loan to Juventus on a straight loan deal for the remainder of the 2024-25 season. Meanwhile, PSG have also agreed a deal with Napoli to sign Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on a permanent transfer for a fee in excess of €70m. ............ The Parisians are still looking to sell Kolo Muani permanently according to La giornalaccio rosa dello Sport’s report, but are happy to send him out on loan to Juventus to gain consistent playing time and form in front of goal, which could maintain or even increase the player’s value ahead of the summer transfer window. ............ .

Serie A Preview: Atalanta vs Juventus – Team News, Line-ups & Prediction One of the most heavily anticipated fixtures in the Serie A calendar pits Atalanta and Juventus against each other this Tuesday. Gewiss Stadium sets the stage for this mouth-watering top-five six-pointer, with both sides desperately needing three points to fortify their seasonal goals. ............ Atalanta’s bid to win their first Scudetto is still alive and kicking as they have a game in hand. But visiting Juventus could throw a spanner in the works, even though they’re not having a great time. Like their hosts, Thiago Motta’s team bowed out of the Italian Cup semi-finals and opened the new calendar year with a draw. That’s become a recurring theme for Juventus this season. Kenan Yildiz’s opener was merely enough for a point in a 1-1 stalemate against Torino in Saturday’s Derby della Mole. This latest share of the spoils landed a hammer blow on Juve’s chances of returning into the title frame, leaving them 14 points below Napoli ahead of this midweek round. Match Preview Atalanta ............ Juventus Juventus could inflict Atalanta’s 76th head-to-head defeat and, in turn, contribute to their rivals’ unwanted piece of history. Whether they’re capable of achieving this task remains debatable. The abovementioned draw against Torino was their 12th in 19 Serie A outings this season (W7), making them the unrivaled ‘stalemate specialists.’ Perhaps the only positive from that abysmal piece of statistics is that they remain the only team in Italy’s top flight yet to taste defeat this season. However, that’s hardly a consolation for the Juventus faithful now that their title hopes are nearly dead in the water. Anything other than an epic winning streak in the second half of the season would likely condemn Juventus to another year without the Scudetto. The Bianconeri can still draw heart from being the only Italian team to go unbeaten in every competitive away match this season (W5, D7). On another positive note, they’ve opened the scoring in four of their last five away league contests. Yet, that holds little significance, considering they only emerged victorious twice (D3). Team News ............ On the other hand, Juventus cannot call upon Arkadiusz Milik, Gleison Bremer, Juan Cabal, Francisco Conceicao, and Dusan Vlahovic. Vlahovic’s absence will likely force Motta to deploy Nicolas Gonzalez as a ‘false nine,’ which failed to pay dividends in the Turin derby last weekend. Atalanta vs Juventus Potential Starting Line-ups Atalanta (3-4-1-2): Carnesecchi; Scalvini, Hien, Kolasinac; Bellanova, De Roon, Ederson, Zappacosta; Pasalic; Lookman, De Ketelaere. Juventus (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, McKennie; Locatelli, Thuram; Yildiz, Koopmeiners, Weah; Gonzalez. Atalanta vs Juventus Prediction Neither team would benefit much from a draw. However, Juventus’ proclivities under Motta are too tempting to be overlooked, making us believe another share of the spoils could be on the menu. Prediction: Draw .

Atalanta vs. Juventus match preview Through the first two games of 2025, things certainly are looking a lot like 2024 for Thiago Motta and Juventus — and that is not a development in a good kind of way. Even without taking what happened in the Supercoppa into account, Juve’s first Serie A fixture of the new year, the second Derby della Mole of the 2024-25 season, had a whole lot of the same trends that we’ve seen over the past couple of months as the draws started to become more and more common. Not only was Saturday’s result with Torino the 12th draw Juventus recorded in their opening 19 league fixtures, but also pushed the amount of points Motta’s squad have dropped from a winning position up to 12. ............ So now, with just a couple of days of rest, Juventus are now set to face the one team that they have yet to play domestically so far this season. It’s a trip to Bergamo and the Gewiss Stadium for Motta’s squad, as Juventus will face an Atalanta side that themselves have a small case of the draws of late that have seen them fall off the pace with league leaders Napoli and Inter Milan. ............ Or, we can just have somebody who will be playing his first game back in Bergamo since his summer move to Juventus what’s been going wrong. “We lack a bit of everything,” Juve midfielder Teun Koopmeiners said after the Torino draw. ............ Juventus are one of only two teams in Europe’s top five leagues to have a double-digit total of draws so far this season. (Brighton, who have 10 draws in 20 games, are the other.) With Saturday’s draw, they finished the first half of a season with their worst points total in 14 years. ............ TEAM NEWS Thanks to the red card he was shown in the Derby della Mole over the weekend, Thiago Motta will be suspended for the trip to Bergamo. That means, just like it was a little over a month ago, it will be Alexandre Hugeux time on the Juve sideline. Dusan Vlahovic and Francisco Conceição have not recovered in time to face Atalanta and will miss their second and third straight games, respectively, due to injury. The other injuries are the long-term absences: Gleison Bremer, Juan Cabal and Arek Milik. After serving his yellow card accumulation suspension over the weekend, Manuel Locatelli is back in the squad and available for selection against Atalanta. As Motta said in his post-game press conference after the Torino draw, Andrea Cambiaso is still very much dealing with inflammation in his sprained ankle and is getting pain-killer injections to be able to play, albeit in a limited capacity. ............ As hard as it may be to imagine these days, a win will see Juventus move level on points with Lazio and up into fourth place thanks to the Bianconeri’s head-to-head victory earlier this season and much better goal differential. ............ JUVENTUS PLAYER TO WATCH Considering that Atalanta are the one team that Juventus have yet to play domestically, there is still one more chance for one of the many summer signings to get the “first game against his former team” out of the way. And it just so happens it’s a player who has, to date, not been able to replicate the same kind of success at his new club that he had at his previous club. ............ Combine the player and the squad struggling with the high price that Juventus paid to being Koopmeiners to Turin and you’ve got a situation in which a very talented player is even more under the microscope than he has been since his first signed. The first five months of Koopmeiners’ Juventus career have not been all that great. As we’ve said before, his overall form have been a lot like the team as a whole — some good moments but certainly lacking the overall punch that so many of us were hoping to see by now. The same player that was one of the best players in Serie A last season has yet to consistently show his face in bianconero, and we’re still waiting for him to reappear no matter if it’s in the No 10 role playing deeper in midfield. ............ But this very simple fact remains true: If Juventus are to kick into gear during this big stretch of games in January, it will most certainly have to coincide with Koopmeiners doing the same. MATCH INFO When: Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2025. Where: Gewiss Stadium, Bergamo, 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. ............ .

Juventus, Vitoria Guimaraes agree to deal for Alberto Costa Help in defense looks like it’s on the way for Thiago Motta and Juventus. ............ Juventus and Portuguese side Vitoria Guimaraes have agreed to a deal for fullback Alberto Costa. The total package is worth up to €15 million, according to Romano, with Juventus paying an initial €12.5 million fee for the 21-year-old right back and another €2.5 million in add-ons. The deal picked up serious steam over the weekend, with Juventus and Vitoria advancing in negotiations early Sunday after word that Costa had rejected other offers from the likes of the Premier League and Serie A came out. It’s still a bit of an unknown when Costa will arrive in Turin to undergo his medicals and sign his contract with Juventus. But, at the very least, Juventus will soon have another defender to add to their ranks during a time in which Motta has been essentially had the bare minimum of players available at the back for the better part of the last four or six weeks. ............ With the addition of Costa, it means Nicolo Savona — who has been asked to play a whole lot more than anybody expected when he was first promoted from the Next Gen squad — will have a little more depth again at right back. It would, in theory, allow Andrea Cambiaso to go back to being a full-time left back once he’s fully fit again, with Weston McKennie also available in a pinch if necessary. So far this season with Vitoria, Costa has a goal and a pair of assists and has played 1,289 minutes across 18 appearances in all competitions. ............ .

Arsenal and Manchester United Interested in Dusan Vlahovic Dusan Vlahovic remains a hot topic within Juventus as the Serbian striker grapples with fluctuating performances and a complex relationship with the club. Despite scoring 12 goals across various competitions, including Serie A and the Champions League, his contributions have been inconsistent, leading to questions about his future in Turin. Compounding the situation is his hefty salary of €12 million per year, which clashes with Juventus’ strategy to reduce costs. With his contract set to expire in June 2026, the club faces a crucial decision regarding his future. Juventus’ sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, recognizes that resolving the Vlahovic situation will be one of his most significant challenges. His intention is clear: to sell Vlahovic for no less than €60 million. However, this task is complicated by both the player’s high wages and the remaining duration of his contract, which limits Juventus’ leverage in negotiations. ............ Giuntoli is reportedly exploring interest from Manchester United, who are on the lookout for a top striker. Additionally, Arsenal has long been an admirer of Vlahovic, having previously sought to sign him before he joined Juventus from Fiorentina. ............ As the winter transfer window progresses, it remains uncertain whether Juventus will push for an immediate sale or hold off until summer. ............ .

Done Deal: Alberto Costa to join Juventus Juventus have made a significant move in the winter transfer market by finalizing the acquisition of Alberto Costa from Vitoria Guimaraes. This marks the club’s first signing of the January window, as they aim to bolster their squad under the guidance of coach Thiago Motta. The agreement for Costa’s transfer has been set at a fee ranging between €12 million and €13 million, with additional bonuses potentially bringing the total to €15 million. The 21-year-old right-back is expected to arrive in Italy this week to undergo medical examinations and officially sign his contract, which will reportedly include an annual salary of €500,000 that may increase over time. ............ His performance has caught the attention of several clubs, but Juventus successfully outmaneuvered competition from AS Roma and Sporting Lisbon, who were also interested in his services. ............ Juventus’ sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, has been keen on balancing youth and experience within the squad. ............ Giuntoli commented on the club’s broader objectives: “The strategy is to strengthen the team in the defensive department and look around to see if there are any opportunities in other departments.” He acknowledged the challenges of finding impactful players during the January transfer window but expressed optimism about upcoming developments. .

Atalanta v Juventus: Match Preview The Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo is set to host a crucial Serie A encounter as Atalanta BC welcome Juventus on Tuesday evening. Both teams, coming off disappointing results in their recent outings, will be eager to reignite their respective campaigns in this high-stakes matchup. ............ Juventus, on the other hand, are experiencing a peculiar season under Thiago Motta. While the Bianconeri remain unbeaten in Serie A, their campaign has been marred by an extraordinary number of draws – 12 in total. Their recent form mirrors this trend, with five draws in their last six league games. The Turin giants are currently outside the top four, a position that has put significant pressure on Motta, who was recently sent off during a derby draw with Torino. This match promises to be an intriguing tactical duel between Gasperini and Motta, two coaches with a shared history from their time at Genoa. Gasperini’s Atalanta are known for their high-intensity, attacking football, while Motta has instilled a more possession-based approach at Juventus. ............ Juventus, despite their struggles, possess quality throughout their squad. Their ability to control the tempo of the game through midfield will be crucial, with Locatelli’s return potentially key to their strategy. The midfield battle between Atalanta’s De Roon and Ederson against Juventus’ Locatelli and Thuram could determine the flow of the game. Additionally, the performance of Juventus’ defense against Atalanta’s dynamic attack will be pivotal. Team News ............ Juventus face their own injury woes, with uncertainties surrounding the availability of key players Dusan Vlahovic and Francisco Conceicao. Long-term absentees include Arkadiusz Milik, Juan Cabal, and Bremer. Manuel Locatelli’s return from suspension provides a boost to the midfield. If Vlahovic is unavailable, Nico Gonzalez may once again be deployed as a false nine in a probable 4-2-3-1 setup. Expected Starting XIs Atalanta: Carnesecchi; Scalvini, Hien, Kolasinac; Bellanova, De Roon, Ederson, Zappacosta; Pasalic; Lookman, De Ketelaere Juventus: Di Gregorio; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, McKennie; Locatelli, Thuram; Yildiz, Koopmeiners, Weah; Gonzalez Match Prediction With both teams desperate for a positive result, this match could be a tense and closely fought affair. Atalanta’s home advantage and recent history of strong performances against top teams make them slight favorites. However, Juventus’ unbeaten record in the league suggests they cannot be underestimated. Prediction: Atalanta 1-1 Juventus .
