Cristiano Ronaldo should’ve opened the scoring in the opening two minutes, but he incredibly only glanced the ball from six yards when allowed a free header on Danilo’s cross from the right. Piotr Zielinski also wasted a big chance by firing over, but Ronaldo made up for it with the opening goal. Most of the credit goes to Federico Chiesa, who twisted and turned between two defenders down the right with a mazy run and rolled across for the simple finish from 12 yards. Fabian Ruiz ballooned over from a very promising position, while Juve had penalty appeals for Chucky Lozano wiping out Chiesa at the by-line, an incredible decision bij the referee who denied the penalty. After the restart, Gigi Buffon had his gloves stung by Giovanni Di Lorenzo, who was in acres of space down the right from an Insigne pass. Buffon was called into action again, beating away a Fabian Ruiz snapshot from outside the area. Dybala made his comeback with a bang. He gathered from Rodrigo Bentancur just inside the box, turned and a left-foot shot was remote-controlled into the far bottom corner. Napoli got a penalty when Giorgio Chiellini brought down Osimhen and Insigne converted by sending Buffon the wrong way. It was his second consecutive spot-kick against Juve, having missed the first three. Juventus: Buffon; Danilo, De Ligt, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Cuadrado (McKennie 69), Bentancur, Rabiot, Chiesa (Arthur 80); Morata (Dybala 69), Ronaldo Napoli: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Koulibaly, Hysaj (Mario Rui 76); Fabian Ruiz (Petagna 89), Demme (Politano 54); Lozano (Osimhen 54), Zielinski, L Insigne; Mertens (Elmas 76) Ref: Mariani Continue -> https://bit.ly/3t3yPqv 2 Condividi questo messaggio Link di questo messaggio Condividi su altri siti

The Bianconeri’s campaign is back on track after the win over Napoli, decided by Dybala off the bench, putting them in third place and just one point behind Milan in second. “It’s perhaps much easier to find the right spirit in a big match like Napoli, but we need the same attitude even against smaller clubs, starting from tomorrow,” said the coach in his press conference. “We need to find some consistency and that means facing tomorrow’s game with ferocity. Beating Napoli is meaningless unless we follow it up with the same performance against Genoa.” “I can confirm Wojciech Szczesny will start tomorrow. I don’t think Paulo Dybala will start, because he was out for three months, so he needs another slightly longer spell as a substitute first.” “I’ve always said Dybala is an important player and unfortunately I haven’t had him at my disposal very much this season.” .............................

It didn’t take long to break through, as Juan Cuadrado made Rovella dizzy with a shimmy, pulling back from the right for Dejan Kulusevski’s left-foot curler from just inside the area. Juve doubled their lead when Federico Chiesa caught Ivan Radovanovic napping in the centre-circle, sprinted forward and forced a save, but while Ronaldo’s follow-up came off the post from a yard, Alvaro Morata was more accurate on the rebound. Scamacca did get his goal straight after the restart, allowed a completely free header on a corner after De Ligt slipped. Not for the first time this season, Juventus came out of the half-time break looking a very different team. Genoa had two huge chances to equalise in quick succession, as first Szczesny got down for a one-handed save on Marko Pjaca’s daisy-cutter, then the same player left Chiellini standing before blasting over from just inside the box. Ronaldo also skimmed the upright at the other end, but Genoa were taking the initiative and pouring forward. However, Paolo Ghiglione lagged back on a floated Danilo pass, allowing substitute Weston McKennie to spring the offside trap and score just two minutes after coming off the bench. Juve had chances to add a fourth, with Perin denying Alex Sandro and an opportunity that bobbled around in the six-yard box in stoppages. Juventus: Szczesny; Cuadrado (Alex Sandro 46), De Ligt, Chiellini, Danilo; Kulusevski (McKennie 68), Bentancur, Rabiot (Ramsey 84), Chiesa (Arthur 75); Morata (Dybala 68), Ronaldo Genoa: Perin; Masiello, Radovanovic, Criscito; Biraschi (Ghiglione 46), Rovella (Zajc 62), Badelj, Behrami (Pjaca 46), Zappacosta; Pandev (Shomurodov 62), Scamacca (Melegoni 70) Ref: Di Bello Continue -> https://bit.ly/3g3JbTw Condividi questo messaggio Link di questo messaggio Condividi su altri siti

We came out wanting to take the initiative, but we went too deep, ran a few risks and didn’t take the chances that would’ve allowed us to be a bit more relaxed.” “Genoa put a lot of players between the lines, so we considered a change of tactics during the game. Unfortunately, we dropped points in games that on paper seemed easier, which made life complicated unnecessarily. That wasn’t the case today, as we were controlling the match, but there were a few distractions that made us run some risks.” Pirlo was asked if he still feels that he has to prove himself on the Juventus bench and how he would judge his debut campaign. “All coaches must feel like they have to prove themselves every single day, let alone me, as I am in my first coaching experience. Football has been my dream since I was a child and I will keep working hard to improve. “I’d give myself a six out of 10 for this season so far. I know that I must do more, and when you don’t achieve certain results, the coach is the first to take responsibility. “My idea of football is to dominate the game and press the opposition. For a series of reasons, we’ve been unable to fully implement it, but the team is eager and we’ll keep working on it.” ....................

The anti-doping prosecutor Pierfilippo Laviani has, according to news agency ANSA, charged the Orobici coach and asked for 20 days of disqualification. The report clarifies that the Atalanta coach ‘insulted an inspector during a surprise check and railed against the entire anti-doping system, interrupting an ongoing test on an Atalanta player and forcing the player to go to train’. .................... The report claims Gasperini could even face up to six months disqualification, if he has violated the article 3, paragraph 3 of the anti-doping code. The tactician didn’t accept the plea bargain and asked for a hearing scheduled for May 10 in front of the national anti-doping court.

Only one point separated these teams in third and fourth going into the weekend, but Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t make the trip due to a muscular issue, with Federico Bernardeschi suffering from COVID, so Paulo Dybala had to start. The pressure was largely on the Bianconeri, who ran the real risk of missing out on the Champions League. .................... Juventus really should’ve taken the lead on 34 minutes when Federico Chiesa caught Joakim Maehle napping in the box and set up Alvaro Morata, but the Spaniard took one too many touches, tried to dink it over Pierluigi Gollini and Berat Djimsiti was able to clear off the line. Maehle got another decisive block in on Chiesa from a Cuadrado pull-back. Muriel’s curler flashed wide, but Chiesa pulled up with a muscular problem and had to come off. Malinovskyi came off the bench and made the difference, as he has done many times recently for La Dea. His free kick from an improbably long distance still forced a tough save from Szczesny, but the move continued and Malinovskyi thumped it again from the edge of the box, a deflection off Alex Sandro wrong-footing the goalkeeper.

Fiorentina were unlucky on 21 minutes, as Erick Pulgar’s long-range strike was deflected off Leonardo Bonucci, bounced off the far post and into a grateful Szczesny’s arms. The pressure finally paid off when Adrien Rabiot was penalised for handling the ball with his arm straight up in the air. Vlahovic stepped up and confirmed he’s got confidence in spades, as he beat Szczesny with a Panenka chipped penalty. Aaron Ramsey should’ve equalised just before the break when he was sent clear one-on-one with Bartlomiej Dragowski by Rodrigo Bentancur after good work from Paulo Dybala, but at full stretch the Welshman prodded wide. Andrea Pirlo transformed his team at half-time, introducing Alvaro Morata and Dejan Kulusevski to go back to 4-4-2. It certainly made an impact, because within 31 seconds Morata swung in what was probably meant to be a left-footed cross, but it bent into the far top corner with Dragowski flapping at thin air. Matthijs de Ligt was booked and will be suspended against Udinese, while a Pulgar free kick was deflected to land on the roof of the net. .................................

The Bianconeri again disappointed on their travels, as Alvaro Morata scored with what appeared to be a wayward cross-shot just 31 seconds after coming off the bench. He cancelled out the cheeky Dusan Vlahovic Panenka-style penalty, which was awarded for an Adrien Rabiot handling offence. “It was a horrible first half. We should’ve started in a different way, because this was a fundamental fixture in the race for the Champions League places, but we were too slow, our distances were all wrong and we were always second to the ball,” confessed the coach on Sky Sport Italia. Pirlo surprised by starting with a 3-5-2 formation with Paulo Dybala and Cristiano Ronaldo upfront. “After Danilo’s injury yesterday, we changed to three at the back, with Aaron Ramsey and Dybala between the lines. It didn’t work, so we introduced Morata after the break to give us a change of pace. “Our first half was bad, the second a little better, but it still wasn’t good enough. We tried one thing and ended up doing something completely different, but we adjusted to the way we have done throughout the season and it went better.” Dybala was substituted at the break, but did Pirlo ever feel tempted to substitute Cristiano Ronaldo instead? “I don’t think Ronaldo did badly. He had a few chances and overall was not bad. It was the team that should’ve attacked the space more and we did see some of that in the second half, as Fiorentina had a high line. ...................

The pressure was on Andrea Pirlo, with reports he could even be sacked if he failed to win here, as even a Champions League spot was at risk. Alvaro Morata was not fully fit, with Federico Chiesa and Merih Demiral out, so Paulo Dybala partnered Cristiano Ronaldo. Juve were caught napping when Rodrigo De Paul took a free kick quickly, sending Nahuel Molina down the right for a ferocious right-foot strike that squirmed in despite Wojciech Szczesny getting something on it. Udinese have not yet conceded from a corner yet this season and that record was almost broken on 27 minutes when Weston McKennie turned a diving header wide from six yards. .................................. De Paul stuck out an elbow in the wall to deflect Ronaldo’s free kick and it was an inevitable penalty, the fifth game in a row that Udinese have given away a spot-kick. Ronaldo wasn’t going to turn that gift down and smashed the spot-kick past Scuffet. Juve could smell blood and pounced for the kill, as Adrien Rabiot whipped a cross to the back post for Ronaldo’s header, surprising Scuffet from point-blank range. The way Andrea Pirlo sprinted off the touchline to celebrate showed how important this was to their season, as it sends them into joint second place with Atalanta and Milan. Udinese: Scuffet; Becao, Nuytinck (Ouweijan 90), Bonifazi (Samir 84); N Molina, De Paul, Walace, Arslan (Forestieri 72), Stryger-Larsen; Pereyra; Okaka Juventus: Szczesny; Danilo, Bonucci, De Ligt, Alex Sandro; Cuadrado (Correa 84), Bentancur, McKennie (Rabiot 84), Bernardeschi (Kulusevski 59); Dybala (Morata 66), Ronaldo Ref: Chiffi Continue -> https://bit.ly/2SiAQRX Condividi questo messaggio Link di questo messaggio Condividi su altri siti

The Bianconeri again put in a frankly poor performance at the Dacia Arena, barely creating any chances after they were caught out on a quickly-taken free kick for Nahuel Molina’s goal. They were revitalised by a penalty for Rodrigo De Paul’s avoidable handling offence, then Cristiano Ronaldo nodded in at the back post to complete the turnaround. “This victory arrived with determination and fight. We once again made life complicated for ourselves, but we wanted to bring home the result right to the end and that’s what is important,” Pirlo told Sky Sport Italia. “It was particularly crucial considering the results from this afternoon. This is a group, it’s strong, it wants to fight for its targets and we never lacked that. Sometimes the attitude during games was not worthy of Juventus, but the final embrace was a show of our unity. Now we need to continue with this spirit.” ..................................

This is essentially a play-off for Champions League football and therefore an extraordinarily important showdown for both this season and their future. They went into the weekend locked together in second place with Atalanta, and just two points clear of Napoli, but both those teams won already. Giorgio Chiellini is surprisingly chosen to partner Matthijs de Ligt, leaving Leonardo Bonucci on the bench against his old club. The good news is the return of Chiesa, who missed the last three games with an injury. He is thrown straight into the starting XI with Ronaldo and Morata, sending Paulo Dybala to the bench, while Adrien Rabiot and Weston McKennie play in midfield. ............................................. Juventus: Szczesny; Cuadrado, De Ligt, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; McKennie, Bentancur, Rabiot, Chiesa; Morata, Ronaldo Juventus bench: Buffon, Pinsoglio; Bonucci, Danilo, Demiral; Arthur, Bernardeschi, Kulusevski, Ramsey; Dybala Milan: G Donnarumma; Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Kessie, Bennacer; Saelemaekers, Brahim Diaz, Calhanoglu; Ibrahimovic Milan bench: Tatarusanu, Dalot, Gabbia, Kalulu, Romagnoli; Hauge, Krunic, Meite, Tonali; Leao, Mandzukic, Rebic Ref: Valeri Continue -> https://bit.ly/3f6dmr5 Condividi questo messaggio Link di questo messaggio Condividi su altri siti

These teams went into the weekend locked together in second place with Atalanta, and just two points clear of Napoli, but both those teams already won and the pressure was on in this Champions League play-off. Federico Chiesa returned after three games out injured and Giorgio Chiellini pushed Leonardo Bonucci to the bench, while Samu Castillejo was suspended. ................ Szczesny did not punch a free kick very far, so Brahim Diaz was able to control with his chest and cut inside to curl a stunning finish into the far top corner. Chiellini was on the line, but simply could not reach it. There was a VAR silent check for possible handball, but the front camera angle showed it was on the chest. Juve came out fighting after the break, Donnarumma immediately getting down for a one-handed save on Rodrigo Bentancur following the Alvaro Morata back-heel flick. VAR was called into action when Brahim Diaz had another effort charged down by Chiellini’s outstretched arm and inevitably it was a penalty. However, while Franck Kessie has an excellent conversion rate from the spot, this time Szczesny managed to palm it out from the bottom corner and keep Juve in the game. That was only the third time in his career that the Ivorian failed to convert a penalty, the second this season. Ibrahimovic limped off with a left knee issue, while Brahim Diaz also had an injury. Szczesny had to rush off his line to smother at the feet of Hakan Calhanoglu and after a long period of Juve possession without creating genuine chances, Milan doubled their lead. Ante Rebic placed a stunner into the top corner with the inside of the right boot from the edge of the area, as Szczesny could do nothing but watch it fly in. The result was even heavier, as Calhanoglu floated a free kick into the box for Fikayo Tomori’s towering header, out-jumping Chiellini. This was a crucial goal, as it means Milan also now have a better head-to-head record with Juventus, so will be ahead even if they finish level on points, as it ended 3-1 for the Bianconeri at San Siro in January. Juventus: Szczesny; Cuadrado, De Ligt, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; McKennie, Bentancur (Kulusevski 67), Rabiot, Chiesa (Dybala 79); Morata, Ronaldo Milan: G Donnarumma; Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Kessie, Bennacer (Dalot 82); Saelemaekers (Meite 82), Brahim Diaz (Krunic 70), Calhanoglu; Ibrahimovic (Rebic 66) Ref: Valeri Saved penalty: Kessie 57 (M) Continue -> https://bit.ly/3txDq3u Condividi questo messaggio Link di questo messaggio Condividi su altri siti

The Bianconeri were in crisis after sliding to fifth place with a 3-0 home defeat to Milan, so Andrea Pirlo made several changes, bringing in Paulo Dybala, Arthur, Dejan Kulusevski and Gigi Buffon. Sassuolo had won five of their last six, drawing the other with Atalanta, and were closing on Roma for seventh place. Leonardo Bonucci clattered into Giacomo Raspadori for a penalty after 15 minutes, but when Berardi stepped up, he was denied by Gigi Buffon. The 43-year-old goalkeeper only announced yesterday he is leaving Juventus and may well continue his career elsewhere, so with saves like that, it’s evident why. Juventus took the lead instead, as Adrien Rabiot cut inside and drilled left-footed through a defender’s legs into the far bottom corner, leaving Andrea Consigli unsighted. Traore again fired well over from a promising position, but Juve doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time with a moment of sheer class from Cristiano Ronaldo. He controlled a long ball, with his right foot flicked it through Marlon’s legs, then with his left drilled into the far bottom corner. After a series of substitutions, Sassuolo got their way back into the game. Buffon was absolutely furious with his defenders, as Giacomo Raspadori was allowed to spring the offside trap centrally on a Manuel Locatelli pass. However, Juve restored the two-goal cushion with a classic counter, as Kulusevski’s slide-rule pass was perfectly-timed, then Dybala delicately lobbed the goalkeeper. It was La Joya’s 100th goal in the Juventus jersey. Sassuolo: Consigli; Toljan (Chiriches 56), Marlon, Ferrari, Kyriakopoulos (Rogerio 77); Obiang (Lopez 56), Locatelli; Berardi, Traore (Defrel 56), Boga (Djuricic 77); Raspadori Juventus: Buffon; Danilo, De Ligt, Bonucci, Alex Sandro; Kulusevski, Arthur (Bentancur 62), Rabiot, Chiesa (Cuadrado 81); Dybala (McKennie 81), Ronaldo Ref: Giacomelli Saved penalty: Berardi 15 (S) Continue -> https://bit.ly/3fgeF6Y Condividi questo messaggio Link di questo messaggio Condividi su altri siti
