When you wear that jersey, you have to win. The return of Bremer is also no coincidence, as defending well is the first step to winning, and having him fit again is worth the same as a great new signing.” ............ “Beating Inter is worth more than three points. It is also a matter of confidence and enthusiasm, and would confirm the positive sensations of the first two rounds. It is a test to see if Juve really can challenge for the Scudetto, although for the moment Napoli remain the favourites, as Antonio Conte is a winner.” ............ It is going to be a family affair, with Thuram brothers Marcus and Khephren facing off on the field. Given the choice, which would Jugovic choose? “Khephren. I was a midfielder, so I will always cheer on someone in my role. I also feel Teun Koopmeiners deserves another chance, it doesn’t make sense to pay so much for a player and then give up on him so quickly, as he can become an ideal player for Tudor.” ............ “I think Kenan Yildiz can stand out, he seems to have a good record in this fixture. It’s good that Juve have so many talented strikers, as competition is positive at top clubs. In my day we had Gianluca Vialli, Fabrizio Ravanelli, Michele Padovano, Alessandro Del Piero, then Christian Vieri, Alen Boksic… Being able to alternate between forwards is a good advantage when they are made to work harder nowadays.” .

The men in black and white now boast some fine talents in their squad, but they remain fully aware that Inter can pose a serious threat whenever the two clubs meet. ............ Because South American teams finish their international matches late, Inter will only welcome back Lautaro Martinez from the break on Thursday. The journey from South America to Europe is a long one, and the striker will require time to recover, meaning he will have limited opportunity to train ahead of the match. He is likely to train just once before the important game, which presents a dilemma for the manager in terms of team selection. Despite this challenge, it is reported that Cristian Chivu still plans to start Martinez in the fixture, although he is unlikely to complete the full ninety minutes. This situation highlights the delicate balance required in managing players returning from international duty, particularly when dealing with key individuals who can have a decisive impact on the game. ............ As both clubs prepare for the match, fans can anticipate an exciting contest filled with tactical battles and individual moments of quality. Inter’s approach will need to be measured, taking into account both the physical limitations of recently returned players and the broader demands of facing a strong Juventus side. ............ .

The fixture arrives at a decisive moment for both clubs, as they stand out as the principal contenders for the league title this season. Each side might have preferred a different opponent at this stage, but destiny has paired them in what promises to be one of the most significant encounters of the early campaign. The Bianconeri have started their season with two consecutive victories, a run of form that has strengthened their confidence. Inter, on the other hand, have already suffered a defeat in one of their opening fixtures, placing them under increased pressure. A defeat in this clash would raise concerns for Cristian Chivu, with questions emerging over his leadership so early in his tenure. Should Juventus prevail, it could spark what some might interpret as the beginnings of a crisis for Inter. ............ Chivu has had very limited time to impose his own philosophy since taking charge, and attempting to overhaul the approach before such an important fixture would involve considerable risk. Maintaining familiarity and stability is therefore expected to be his priority, especially given the calibre of the opposition. ............ Despite their contrasting starts to the campaign, both clubs recognise the immense importance of this match. Juventus hold momentum and will look to capitalise on it, while Inter will be eager to re-establish themselves as credible title challengers. Historical rivalries of this stature often extend beyond tactics and form, demanding resilience, determination, and discipline. ............ .

The Bianconeri will be aiming to build on this positive start as the campaign progresses, striving to maintain consistency and improve their performances across all competitions. The current squad features several highly talented players, and the club remains committed to working diligently to enhance team cohesion and overall effectiveness on the pitch. ............ Serie A promises to be highly competitive this season, with several clubs vying for the Scudetto.

The team’s ability to adapt to challenges and integrate new players effectively will likely define their campaign. Commenting on the title race, Inter Milan legend Giuseppe Bergomi noted: “I think Juventus and Napoli will start ahead for the Scudetto, while Roma, Inter, and Milan could start slightly behind. Predictions are made to be proven wrong, but I see this type of start this year for the Scudetto race.” ............ Despite the promising start, Juventus still have several key players who have yet to fully integrate into the squad.

Conceicao has started in both of Juventus’s first two Serie A matches of the season, both times playing alongside Kenan Yildiz, behind the centre-forward in a 3-4-2-1 system. The only other players who have played in those roles so far this season are Weston McKennie, who could replace the suspended Andrea Cambiaso at wing-back against Inter, and Nico Gonzalez, who has recently joined Atletico Madrid. If Tudor were to stick with the same system, the most natural replacements would be either Teun Koopmeiners or summer signing Edon Zhegrova. ............ Tudor could be minded to slightly shuffle his tactics to either a 3-4-1-2 or a 3-5-2. In both instances, Kenan Yildiz would be the advanced-most of the midfielders, with Openda likely to play alongside Jonathan David slightly further up the pitch. There is also a possibility that Tudor decides to field Dusan Vlahovic alongside David instead, however, Openda will return earlier from national team duty than the Serbian, and therefore has more time to prepare for the Inter match in Serie A this weekend. .

Signed from Atalanta in a high-profile move last season, the Dutchman has endured a difficult start to life in Turin and has yet to consistently deliver the performances expected of him. ............ Head coach Igor Tudor has sought to bring out the best in Koopmeiners by deploying him in central midfield, a deeper role that allows him more involvement in build-up play while reducing the pressure of operating close to goal. This tactical adjustment has already yielded some improvement, though questions remain about his long-term suitability in the system. The situation has been complicated further by the recent injury to Francisco Conceição during international duty. Tudor is now considering moving Koopmeiners into a more advanced attacking midfield role for the upcoming clash with Inter Milan. The report suggests that he is the preferred candidate to replace the Portuguese midfielder in the starting line-up. ............ Should Tudor proceed with this plan, Koopmeiners will be tasked with providing crucial support for the attacking line, creating opportunities and linking play in the final third. It represents both a challenge and an opportunity for him to demonstrate versatility and value at a critical moment in Juventus’s season. While the club remain patient, there is recognition that time is running short for the midfielder to justify his place. Juventus are eager to maintain its strong start, and Tudor will be hoping Koopmeiners can rise to the occasion and deliver the kind of performances that will silence doubts about his future. ............ .

The clash is already being billed as one of the standout fixtures of the early season, with both sides eager to assert themselves in the title race. Juventus have made a strong start to the campaign, recording back-to-back victories in their opening matches. However, the meeting with Inter Milan will represent their toughest test so far. ............ The rivalry produced an extraordinary spectacle last season, with the first meeting between the sides ending in a thrilling 4-4 draw. Juventus will hope to avoid such drama this time and instead secure a more controlled victory. Yet history suggests that encounters between these two clubs rarely pass without incident, and another high-tempo, goal-laden match cannot be ruled out. Hernanes, who represented both sides during his career, believes fans can expect plenty of action in front of goal. He said: “Juventus – Inter will be a match of goals. The Nerazzurri are still the ones playing the best football in Italy, but be careful, the Bianconeri are cynical and ruthless.” ............ For Juventus, victory would consolidate their strong start and provide an early statement of intent in the title race. Their ability to combine efficiency with resilience makes them formidable opponents in high-pressure matches. For Inter, the fixture offers both risk and opportunity. Defeat would leave them facing difficult questions so early in the campaign, while victory would re-establish them as one of the league’s leading forces. ............ .

While Juve come into the season's first Derby d'Italia with maximum points on the board, Inter faltered just before the international break and already have ground to make up. Match preview Reprising a rivalry that began way back in 1909, the two clubs with most Scudetti to their name meet again this weekend, with Juventus playing host at the Allianz Stadium. Saturday's clash will do well to match the sides' first contest last season, when Juve's Kenan Yildiz struck twice in the closing stages of a frantic 4-4 draw in Milan. After that eight-goal thriller last October, Francisco Conceicao was the sole scorer in February's reverse fixture, as the Bianconeri continued their impressive recent record at home to Inter. Heading into this week's game, Juventus have lost just one of the teams' last 11 league meetings in Turin, so history will certainly be on their side. The hosts' current form is also as head coach Igor Tudor would wish, having started his first full season in charge with wins over Parma and Genoa. Amid another campaign of off-field chaos at the club, Tudor calmly took the reins from Thiago Motta and steered Juve to a fourth-placed finish last term, and he may now have one eye on regaining the Scudetto. Both the Bianconeri and Inter have designs on dethroning Napoli next spring, so neither can afford to make many mistakes. ............ Juventus Serie A form: W W Inter Milan Serie A form: W L Team News Juventus have some selection calls to make up front, as Jonathan David has started the season well for club and country, while contract rebel Dusan Vlahovic has scored against both Parma and Genoa despite starting on the bench. Recent arrival Lois Openda is another option in the final third, but Conceicao withdrew from Portugal's squad with a muscular injury and may miss out. Midfielder Fabio Miretti is also struggling with a thigh problem. Having been sent off for violent conduct on the opening day, Andrea Cambiaso misses the second match of a two-game ban, so Joao Mario and Filip Kostic will join versatile pair Pierre Kalulu and Weston McKennie in the fight for wing-back places. ............ Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Gatti, Bremer, Kelly; Kalulu, Thuram, Locatelli, Mario; Koopmeiners, Yildiz; David Inter Milan possible starting lineup: Sommer; Akanji, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Sucic, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez We say: Juventus 1-1 Inter Milan This latest instalment of the Derby d'Italia will offer more clues as to which side is best equipped to challenge for the title, with hosts Juventus hoping to lay down a marker. However, they may have to settle for a low-scoring draw, as Inter will fight all the way to avoid rare back-to-back defeats. .

I’ve got good and positive feelings, we’ve had two training sessions together, and we have another one tomorrow morning. I feel good, positive, and I’ve missed football. “There are special opponents, and the motivation increases. From a preparation standpoint, it’s easier for a coach to keep the tension high. Over the course of the season, keeping that motivation always makes the difference. Tomorrow is a beautiful match to play between two strong teams. I hope people come and enjoy it. Especially our fans.” ............ “So far, we’ve played with one striker and two attacking midfielders. There’s work behind that, and now it’s definitely my job to make the most of the squad and the qualities I have, also to play in different ways. It takes time. For now, this system has worked well, and we’ll go forward like this. We’ll see with time. Openda needs space, and David can play behind a second striker, which is good because they have different characteristics. Dusan can do both.” ............ Openda and Zhegrova joined Juventus on deadline day, but only Openda will be available against Inter. Tudor has been using a 3-4-2-1 system since he was appointed as the new Bianconeri coach in March and is not planning to change the system. ............ “I’ve always been happy. I was before and I am now. Two players have arrived to help us. Openda right away, Edon not immediately because he’s coming off a long period without playing. Now he needs to regain fitness, build strength, legs and lungs. He won’t be called up for the next two games; then, from Verona, we’ll gradually bring him into the squad. “Openda needs space in front of him, and that’s his strength. He can play on the left or right wing.” Teun Koopmeiners is likely to start as an attacking midfielder, given that Tudor will only play with one centre forward. “I don’t understand the fixation on this guy. Let’s leave him in peace. He’s working well, he’s trying, he cares. He’s played two good matches. I can only repeat what I’ve always said about him. But then we always circle back to the same thing, he has quality and will do well.” ............ .

Socrates 9089 Joined: 04-Apr-2006 137370 messaggi Inviato Sabato alle 15:35 Juventus vs Inter Milan: Preview and Prediction Italian football comes to a standstill on Saturday evening as the Derby d’Italia takes centre stage at the Allianz Stadium, with Juventus hosting Inter Milan in one of the most storied fixtures in Serie A history. Both sides enter the clash with ambitions of reclaiming the Scudetto from Napoli, although they arrive in contrasting moods. Juventus have started the campaign perfectly, collecting maximum points from their opening fixtures, while Inter faltered just before the international break and already find themselves chasing. Juventus have shown early signs of momentum under Igor Tudor, who begins his first full season at the helm. Wins over Parma Calcio and Genoa have given the Bianconeri a flawless start, easing concerns after last season’s off-field turmoil. Tudor, who steadied the ship after replacing Thiago Motta late last term, now has his sights set on loftier goals, with a genuine push for the Scudetto not out of the question. History also favours the Old Lady in this rivalry, particularly at home. Juventus have lost just one of their last 11 league meetings with Inter in Turin, and last season’s dramatic encounters only added spice to the narrative. The October 2024 clash at San Siro produced a stunning 4-4 draw, with Kenan Yildiz scoring twice late on, while Francisco Conceicao struck the winner in February’s reverse fixture. ............ Team News & Tactics Juventus Juventus face a few selection dilemmas heading into the Derby d’Italia. In attack, Jonathan David has started brightly for both club and country, putting pressure on Igor Tudor to keep him in the lineup. Meanwhile, Dusan Vlahovic, despite ongoing uncertainty around his contract situation, has made an impact from the bench with goals against both Parma and Genoa. ] Summer arrival Lois Openda is another option to lead the line, giving the Bianconeri enviable depth in forward areas. On the downside, winger Francisco Conceicao is a major doubt after withdrawing from international duty with Portugal due to a muscular injury, and midfielder Fabio Miretti remains sidelined with a thigh problem. Suspension also plays a role in Tudor’s plans. Andrea Cambiaso will serve the second match of a two-game ban following his red card for violent conduct on the opening day. His absence leaves the wing-back slots up for grabs, with Joao Mario and Filip Kostic likely contenders, alongside the versatile duo of Pierre Kalulu and Weston McKennie. Juventus are expected to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation. Michele Di Gregorio will start in goal, shielded by a three-man defence of Federico Gatti, Bremer, and Lloyd Kelly. Out wide, Pierre Kalulu is set to operate as the right wing-back, while João Mário takes the opposite flank on the left. In midfield, Khephren Thuram will provide dynamism alongside Manuel Locatelli, who anchors the side with his control and distribution. Just behind the striker, Teun Koopmeiners and rising star Kenan Yildiz are expected to operate as dual attacking midfielders, supporting Jonathan David, who should spearhead the Juventus attack against Inter Milan. Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Gatti, Bremer, Kelly; Kalulu, Thuram, Locatelli, Mario; Koopmeiners, Yildiz; David Inter Milan ............ Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Sommer; Akanji, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Sucic, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez Key Stats Juventus have defeated Inter Milan 88 times, more than any other club in Serie A history, highlighting their long-standing supremacy in this fixture. Three of the last four league meetings between Juventus and Inter Milan in the first half of the season have ended in draws, showing how closely contested early-season clashes tend to be. Inter Milan have failed to win in 11 of their last 12 league visits to the Allianz Stadium against Juventus (W1 D3 L8). Their only victory came in April 2022 via a Hakan Calhanoglu penalty. This is only the third time in history Juventus and Inter will face each other within the opening three matchdays of a Serie A campaign. The previous instances were in 1939 (Inter won 4-0) and 2013 (a 1-1 draw). Juventus have started the 2025-26 season with back-to-back clean sheets, and could register three straight shutouts in their first three league games for the first time in their history. ............ Prediction Juventus 2-1 Inter Milan Juventus’s home record against Inter Milan and their sharp early-season form make them slight favourites, though Inter’s attacking firepower ensures this will not be straightforward. Expect a tightly contested battle where the Bianconeri’s defensive organisation could make the difference. The Hard Tackle predicts a 2-1 win for Igor Tudor and his charges. .

The result extended Juventus’ fine start to the season and underlined their ability to prevail in high-stakes contests. ............ Juventus struck the opening blow less than fifteen minutes into the match when Lloyd Kelly converted after an intelligent pass from Gleison Bremer. The early breakthrough delighted the home supporters but also sparked Inter into life. The visitors responded by increasing their intensity, pressing high and looking to exploit wide areas with crosses and forward runs. Their persistence was rewarded on the half-hour mark as Hakan Çalhanoğlu fired home the equaliser, bringing the game to life and reminding Juventus that Inter remained a constant threat. Yet Bremer continued to influence proceedings, turning provider once more with a precise delivery that Kenan Yildiz finished clinically just before half-time, restoring Juve’s advantage at the interval. ............ The second half saw both sides commit numbers forward in search of the next decisive moment. Çalhanoğlu again delivered for Inter, levelling the scoreline with his second of the evening. The contest then tilted in the visitors’ favour when Marcus Thuram put them ahead for the first time, fuelling hopes of an away victory. That optimism was short-lived, however, as his brother Khephren Thuram struck only minutes later, heading Juventus back on level terms and adding another twist to the derby narrative. With the game finely poised, Igor Tudor made attacking substitutions, signalling his intent to chase all three points rather than settle for another draw reminiscent of last season’s 4-4 thriller. The decision paid off when substitutes combined for the winning goal. Jonathan David, full of energy after coming on, set up Vasilije Adžić, who calmly applied the finish to secure Juventus’ dramatic 4-3 triumph. ............ .

Indeed, he was the creative force of his team, setting up both first-half goals. Federico Gatti – 6/10 ............ Weston McKennie – 6/10 ............ Khephren Thuram – 7/10 It was a quiet evening for the French midfielder. Sometimes erratic in his decision-making, he rarely influenced the game, but he stepped up when Juventus needed him the most, scoring a crucial header to level the score. Manuel Locatelli – 6/10 ............ Pierre Kalulu – 6/10 ............ Teun Koopmeiners – 5/10 The Dutch midfielder played in an advanced position today and couldn’t make an impact.

He must take this goal as a sign to keep working even harder.” This result means Juventus maintain their 100 per cent record in Serie A this season after three rounds, the first time they started with three wins since 2018-19. ............ “In a match like this, there are no favourites and previous form is wiped out. Inter have enormous quality, they are world class. Our performance was not what we could’ve done, especially in terms of pressing, but the hunger of those who came on helped us earn this victory. I don’t know if it was deserved, or if a draw was fair, but this is football,” said the coach. ............ “The idea was a diamond midfield with Yildiz behind Vlahovic, but we didn’t do the pressing at the right time, we didn’t do it the way we should’ve done. We were getting too deep too quickly. He did find some spaces behind the striker, it’s an idea we can repeat in future, as Yildiz is so talented, he ought to be closer to the goal and less wide. We had played in a different style, but we must adapt now that we have three centre-forwards, so think about how to get the best out of these players. “We won today, even if it was not a great performance.” ............ .

The win made it three victories from three matches for the Bianconeri and lifted them to the top of the table, at least temporarily, ahead of Napoli’s fixture. ............ The clash lived up to its billing as both Juventus and Inter demonstrated attacking ambition from the outset. Memories of last season’s remarkable 4-4 draw in Milan loomed large, and once again the two teams traded blows in a game where mistakes and moments of brilliance defined the narrative. Each side created and converted opportunities, leaving the scoreline finely poised throughout. When the match reached level terms late on, it seemed another draw might be inevitable. Yet Juventus, buoyed by their strong start to the season, were not content to share the spoils. ............ Manager Igor Tudor signalled his intent by introducing more attacking options as the game reached its conclusion. His boldness paid dividends when Juventus found the late breakthrough that secured victory, sending the home supporters into celebration and leaving Inter with little time to respond. In the aftermath of the match, Michele Padovano offered his analysis in the studio of Sky Sports Italia: “It was a great match, there were some good plays but also some big mistakes. Inter could have won, Juventus could have won, but Juventus won because they believed that little bit more. But I have to say that after these two defeats, Inter are facing a problem because if the Champions League match against Ajax doesn’t go well, it would open up a dark corner.” ............ .

And you probably thought Juventus and Inter Milan couldn’t replicate the craziness that came with the first Derby d’Italia that we saw last season. “There was no chance they do it again, right?” is something you may have thought to yourself in the lead-up. No another late comeback or anything that — it just didn’t seem like it was something that could come close to being a thing. ............ The big difference this time: The late Juventus comeback came with a win — and an incredibly unlikely source for the game-winning goal. Entering Saturday night, Vasilije Adžić didn’t have a single goal to his name at the senior level for Juventus. Hell, he barely played with the big club during his first year in Turin. But against Inter Milan, in the first minute of stoppage time, Adžić provided what was the biggest of thunderbolts off his right foot in a matchup full of top-quality goals. The 19-year-old Montenegrin didn’t hesitate once after getting the ball at his feet from fellow second-half sub Jonathan David. Think of Steph Curry pulling up from like 37 feet just short of the logo at midcourt, folks. This was deep — and yet Adžić let loose and delivered what was a shot that even the strongest of goalkeeping hands couldn’t keep out, giving Juventus a 4-3 win over their hated rivals and keeping their perfect start to the 2025-26 season intact. ............ Just when it looked like Juve might lose and do so in not-so-great fashion after Marcus Thuram’s header between two defenders put Inter in front with 15 minutes to go, there were plenty of twists and turns left. If you were a stark believer in “This game still has a goal or two left in it,” you looked like an absolute genius. Because there was even when it might not have looked all that great when Marcus Thuram put Inter ahead. ............ Beating Inter is always great. But beating Inter with a last-minute golazo that sends the Allianz into a frenzy and subsequently crushes the sole of the traveling fans? Oh, that’s so sweet. That’s just so sweet. Was it the perfect game? Of course not. Even Igor Tudor said it himself — it wasn’t a great game in terms of Juventus executing things they came into the night trying to do on the field. There were defensive mistakes, there was some sloppy play and some players certainly not having good nights on the field no matter how you try and spin it. (Looking at you, Teun. Please be better. I want you to be good so much!). Like the first Derby d’Italia last season, amongst all the craziness and thrilling moments, there are things that led to those instances in which the overall play wasn’t great. ............ RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS ............ One part I love about the Adžić goal: If you catch a replay from the right angle, you can see Joao Mario screaming for the ball. Adžić had absolutely no interest in doing any sort of passing. The guy had one thing on his mind — shoot. And he did just that. The replays of the celebrations are wonderful, too. Whenever you see Carlo Pinsoglio at least 15 yards out onto the field and sprinting toward the goal scorer with his arms as wide as you can be, you can probably guess Juventus just did something pretty cool. Igor Tudor during his pre-match press conference on Friday: We’re not going to change our system. Igor Tudor when things kick off against Inter on Saturday: We’re using a 3-5-1-1, not a 3-4-2-1. ............ Bremer had two assists against Inter. Seriously, he did! He’s now amongst the Serie A leaders in assists. Just like we all predicted before the season started. One more Bremer note: I sure did miss seeing him flying through the air trying to get his head on a cross off a corner kick. The first time he connects with one and it finds the back of the net, his celebration is going to be great because of how the past 10 months have gone for him. The recipient of the second Bremer assist was Yildiz and I feel like this is an appropriate time to say the kid is approaching the level where we start to seriously consider if he’s on the brink of stardom. They’re already bringing it up on broadcasts, there’s surely going to be plenty of articles after this one that mention it. He’s 20 years old and his importance to this team is just becoming greater and greater. He’s now having Serie A title contenders basically crafting their entire defensive plan around him as Inter did as Saturday night’s game went on. If that ain’t the sign of a budding star, I don’t know what is. On top of the brilliant goal, Yildiz also had an assist. He’s now the Serie A leader in assists. ............ Marcus Thuram didn’t celebrate a goal against the club his dad played for and his little brother currently represents. I say this because Khephren Thuram, scoring all of about six minutes after his older brother, celebrate like he was trying to offset Marcus’ offering. For a usually pretty chill dude, Khephren was maybe as hyped as I can remember him being after a goal. That made me smile. ............ Consider me surprised that Juan Cabal was amongst the three-man group of players Tudor brought off the bench as part of his first move in the second half. Thought we wouldn’t be seeing him until later in the month at the earliest. Yet there he was! Glad we have both of the torn ACL boys back now. The two goalkeepers combined to make one save. That’s crazy. ............ Tudor will get some stick for his subs — most notably the timing of them in the second half. But you can’t really argue with him going with somebody like Adžić when the end result is a game-winning goal like that. .............

Marcus Thuram gave Inter the lead and looked set to play the hero, only for his younger brother to have the final say. Khephren Thuram rose brilliantly to score Juventus’ third, bringing the game back to 3-3 at a crucial moment. What made the goal even more remarkable was that Khephren is not known for his aerial prowess. His header surprised not only the Inter defence but also his own family. Their father, former World Cup winner Lilian Thuram, was present in the stands to witness his sons shine against each other on one of Italy’s biggest stages. Though Juventus went on to win courtesy of a late strike, the headlines were inevitably shared by the two brothers. For a short while, the Derby d’Italia felt like the Thuram Derby, with both siblings showing their quality at the highest level. ............ Speaking after the match, the Juventus midfielder admitted the goal was extra special because of the constant teasing he receives from his family about his lack of headed finishes. He said: “I told him (Marcus) ‘well done,’ but we didn’t laugh. He looked at me with the eyes of a big brother and was happy for me. He and dad tease me because I don’t often score headers, but tonight I’m happy I did.” ............ .

Socrates 9089 Joined: 04-Apr-2006 137370 messaggi Inviato ieri alle 17:41 Vaciago explains how Juventus gained the upper hand over Inter Milan Juventus overcame Inter Milan in a dramatic 4-3 Serie A clash last night, a result that few would have predicted given how evenly matched the sides were. Many observers might have considered a draw to be the fairest outcome, yet Juventus’ determination carried them through to victory. Throughout much of the encounter, Inter appeared the stronger team, excelling in several aspects of play and threatening to take full control when they held a 3-2 advantage. At that stage, it seemed Juventus were facing defeat. ............ Manager Igor Tudor made the bold decision to focus on attacking players rather than prioritising defensive solidity when the score was level at 3-3. This approach involved a considerable risk, as any lapse at the back could have proved costly. Yet the gamble ultimately paid off, with Juventus finding a late winner that secured their third consecutive league victory of the campaign. ............ Reflecting on the match, journalist Guido Vaciago offered insight into how Juventus triumphed over an Inter side he considered superior. He remarked: “Inter were stronger, but Juventus wanted the win more desperately and earned it by struggling, fighting, and believing in it every minute of the game, even when they were under Inter’s technical dominance. The emotional impact of such a victory multiplies the conviction and confidence of a young and reckless team.” ............ .
