Juventus reject Man Utd & Chelsea offers for Kenan Yildiz The 19-year-old impressed during his breakout season with Juventus, scoring four times in 32 appearances for the club in 2023/24. He then proceeded to have an encouraging Euro 2024 as Turkiye reached the quarter-final. Naturally, there was significant interest from Europe's giants over the summer given the winger's age, quality and potential, with Man Utd and Chelsea both seeing offers rebuffed by Juventus. ............ Borussia Dortmund, Fenerbahce and Aston Villa were also reported suitors for the talented teenager, but Juventus were determined to keep Yildiz at the club, rejecting any offers that came their way. ............ Yildiz has done an excellent job under new manager Thiago Motta this season as he blossoms into an exceptional forward, scoring four goals and providing three assists across Serie A and the Champions League. A recent report from Germany has claimed that Man Utd still hold interest in Yildiz, with new manager Ruben Amorim expected to strengthen his attacking options in 2025. .

Italian newspapers player ratings for Juventus vs Venezia: Only Thuram spared Although they remain unbeaten in Serie A, Juventus extended their miserable run to four draws in a row after failing to beat rock-bottom Venezia at home. ............

Thiago Motta tries to explain lackluster Juventus display, agrees with fans’ jeers Juventus coach Thiago Motta offered some explanation for the team’s miserable showing against Venezia which culminated in their 10th draw of the season. ............ For his part, Motta was serving a touchline ban after getting himself sent off last weekend. But while his assistant Alexandre Hugeux was acting in his stead on the touchline, the Italian Brazilian appeared after the contest to chat with the journalists who inquired about the club’s lack of fluidity in the attacking phase. “It’s definitely the most difficult thing [building attacks]. It takes more time to improve it,” said the 42-year-old in his post-match interview. “There’s less space and less time, you have to do things at a different speed and a change the pace. We did well when we found space, tonight there wasn’t any and we saw the difficulty.” ............ “I think it’s normal, frustration exists on everyone’s part, first and foremost the players because they know perfectly well that we can do better. We need to stay united and together. The criticisms are right because we are not where we need to be. “The public has the freedom to express feelings and emotions. Duna [Vlahovic] is the first who wants to change the situation, these are things that have already happened and that we hope can change in the future. “The fans have the freedom to express their opinion. Dusan is a lad who wants to change the situation, the important thing is to stay united for the good of Juventus, that’s what we all want.” .

Jeers, insults & mockery – Vlahovic & Juventus fans embroiled in post-match squabble Scoring the last-minute equalizer was hardly enough to shield Dusan Vlahovic and his teammates from a post-match scolding by the angry Curva Sud fans. After beating Premier League champions Manchester City on Wednesday night, the Bianconeri looked like a different team when hosting Venezia on Saturday, resuming their habit of settling for draws against lowly opposition – the side that resides at the very bottom of the Serie A table in this case. ............ After the final whistle, the players headed to the Curva Sud to salute the fans as per custom, but the Ultras were in no mood to applaud the players. Instead, the Bianconeri were faced with loud jeers and whistles. But while the rest of the squad stood their ground and took it all in, Vlahovic retaliated with an angry gesture, urging the fans to support the team rather than berate them. Obviously, the irritated Ultras were unlikely to take the Serbian’s demeanor kindly, so he received a wave of insults, while Danilo and other players tried to calm him down. In the end, the striker left the pitch while mockingly raising the thumbs up. ............ .

Giuntoli provides updates on Milik’s recovery, weighs in on Man United striker Juventus Director of Football Cristiano Giuntoli revealed when he expects Arkadiusz Milik to make his return to action. The Polish striker has been ruled out by an injury since June, preventing him from participating in Euro 2024. While the Bianconeri were hoping to have him at Thiago Motta’s disposal by October, he still felt pain in the knee, which warranted another surgery. ............ Nevertheless, Giuntoli has once again ruled out any January reinforcement for the attacking department, as the club expects Milik to make his return in a matter of weeks, but will instead focus on signing a new defender. “At the moment we are not thinking about selling but about inserting something in defense. We want to keep everyone and do something at the back and wait for everyone to return,” said the 52-year-old in his interview ahead of Saturday’s contest against Venezia which ended in a disappointing 2-2 draw. “Milik has started to play a bit, we are happy, the knee is not causing problems. But he will recover in 15-20 days.” ............ “We are waiting for Milik, Zirkzee is very good but he plays for another team. I cannot say anything else and we are thinking about something completely different.” ............ .

Vlahovic breaks silence on social media after row with Juventus fans Dusan Vlahovic understands Juventus fans’ frustration and is eager to ‘stick together’ to support the team. A minority of Juventus supporters insulted the Serbian striker on Saturday after a home 2-2 draw against strugglers Venezia. His angry reaction infuriated the Curva Sud, who insulted him after the final whistle. ............ “I understand the frustration for the latest results, and you have all the rights to express it,” the striker wrote. “I’ve always respected you by giving my all for the shirt, and I thank you for the support you support us daily. Now it’s important to stick together to support the team and start again, united.”............. Vlahovic is Juventus’ best scorer this season with 11 goals in 19 appearances.............. Nevertheless, the Bianconeri are nine points below table leaders Atalanta with ten draws and just six victories.............. .

Juventus player ratings v Venezia – Disappointing draw reflected in ratings Michele di Gregorio – 5.5 Not his best performance. He failed to command his area effectively and looked shaky on the rare occasions Venezia attacked. Nicolo Savona – 6.5 ............ Federico Gatti – 7.5 Scored the opening goal and was generally composed in defence. However, he will feel disappointed that Juventus conceded twice. Pierre Kalulu – 6.5 Not his best showing for Juve. He struggled at times against Venezia’s attack and was overly eager to push forward, leaving gaps at the back. Danilo – 6.5 A quieter performance compared to his standout display against Manchester City. He could have done more to lead the team in preserving or extending their lead. Khephren Thuram – 7.0 Another commanding performance in midfield. He showcased why he deserves to start regularly and came close to scoring. Weston McKennie – 6.5 ............ Timothy Weah – 6.5 ............ Teun Koopmeiners – 6.0 Still hasn’t lived up to expectations since joining Juventus. He should have contributed more to secure a second goal. Kenan Yildiz – 7.0 Unlucky to have his goal ruled out, but he was lively throughout and a constant problem for Venezia’s defence. Dusan Vlahovic – 7.0 Another strong performance from Vlahovic. He stepped up to confidently convert the penalty that rescued a point for Juventus. Substitutes Douglas Luiz – 6.0 Brought on to add creativity but didn’t have the desired impact. Francisco Conceição – 6.5 The brightest of Juventus’ substitutes. His energy and intent left many wishing he had started the match. Nicolo Fagioli – 6.0 ............ Manuel Locatelli – N/A ............ Nicolás González – N/A ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/juventus-player-ratings-v-venezia-disappointing-draw-reflected-in-ratings/

Late Vlahovic penalty saves Juventus from embarrassing Venezia defeat Juventus failed to win yet another Serie A game, salvaging a late draw thanks to a stoppage-time penalty in the match against Venezia. Fresh off their impressive victory against Manchester City, Juventus entered the match as heavy favourites, with Venezia seemingly no match for the Bianconeri on paper. As expected, Juventus started the game strongly, dictating the tempo and demonstrating their superiority over the visitors. It took just 19 minutes for Federico Gatti to break the deadlock with a fine header, giving Juventus a deserved early lead. ............ Juventus continued to dominate but failed to add to their lead before halftime, as Venezia grew into the game and began competing more effectively in key moments. Early in the second half, Juventus thought they had doubled their advantage when Kenan Yildiz found the net. However, the goal was ruled out for a handball in the build-up, a decision that shifted momentum and boosted Venezia’s confidence. That newfound belief paid off when Mikael Egill Ellertsson shocked the Allianz Stadium with a well-taken equaliser. The goal had been coming, as Juventus failed to put the game out of reach despite their earlier dominance. Pushing for a winner, Juventus left themselves vulnerable at the back, and Venezia capitalised in stunning fashion. Jay Idzes scored to complete a dramatic turnaround for the visitors, leaving Juve fans in disbelief. As the clock ticked into stoppage time, Juventus were handed a lifeline in the form of a penalty. In the third minute of added time, Dusan Vlahovic calmly converted from the spot, rescuing a point for the Bianconeri. ............ .

Solo contro tutti!

Il grande problema di Dusan (oltre che il suo controllo di palla precario) é la sua debolezza psicologica. Stasera l'ha dimostrata nuovamente. Inveisce contro un avversario, inveisce contro i tifosi. Qualche seduta con uno psicologo potrebbe aiutarlo.

Piú che sciocco lo definirei un milionario con i nervi tesi che non accetta le critiche di chi paga il biglietto e, di conseguenza, il suo lauto stipendio.

Meno male che l'arbitro non é stato d'accordo con te.

2-2

La Juve rubba ..... rigore

Ha segnato il Venezia

Fagioli al posto di Savona

Entra Fagioli

É vero!

Per il Venezia entra Candela che va a giocare davanti ad Altare ......

Thiago bacchetterá Hugeux sulle chiappe dopo la partita .......

Ti ha ascoltato

É vero. Ha toccato col braccio.

Dicono Yildiz. Non capisco.

Gli arbitri vedono cose contro la Juventus che lasciano sbalorditi
