Juventus V AS Roma
17:00 UK
Serie A – Week 6 [5th October 2014] – Juventus Stadium
Juventus Preview
Max Allegri’s Bianconeri honeymoon was ended by the hands of Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid in a close 1-0 battle this week. While Juventus certainly displayed no fear of Atletico, they were beaten on the margins. It’s always the little things that decided a game between two great sides, and Atletico were just that bit better in front of goal, on the challenge, and frankly, in the fouling department. Juventus, while they certainly did well with possession at times, actually struggled to create danger in the final third, leading some to believe that Max had instructed his side to play for a 0-0 draw.
Either way, Juventus now have another big test, perhaps an even bigger one than the match versus Atletico. The new – and true – “anti-Juve” aka A.S. Roma, have been on a hot streak since the season started. Allegri will need to have his squad focused on the match, and not fretting about the loss to Atletico.
It seems that Allegri has begun to settle on a normal starting lineup, and there are really only a few toss ups in terms of who will start for Juve. Gianluigi Buffon will be in goal of course, while Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini should slot in to their usual positions in the three man backline. Theoretically we could see a four man backline, as Max switched to after Atletico scored, but the 3-5-2 seems to work well in Serie A so it’s likely to stay for this match. The final centerback spot is up in the air, Martin Caceres and Angelo Ogbonna are battling it out for the start. Both are in fine form, although Caceres did dislocate his shoulder in Madrid. One of the trainers popped it back into place on the sideline though, so even if there are issues he should be fine to play.
Out wide, Stephan Lichtsteiner is expected to start at right wing back, while as always Asamoah and Evra battle for the left wing back position. I suspect we will see Evra, since Max has been picking him somewhat consistently over Asamoah at LWB, but I hope we get to see Asamoah feature.
The midfield should see Paul Pogba and Claudio Marchisio retain their starting roles, though Andrea Pirlo should be on the bench and could see time as a substitute for Marchisio. Then in the “enforcer” role, the battle is between Roberto Pereyra and Arturo Vidal. Vidal is the favorite based on class, but Pereyra has been in fine form since joining Juve, in fact he has played better than Vidal has this season. Still, Vidal, due to his recent knee injury, could receive the benefit of the doubt and start again. Either choice has its’ merits.
There seems to be little question that Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez will start as the strikers. Though one begins to wonder how long Llorente can retain his starting spot with his current form. Tevez, on the other hand, has been Juve’s main attacking outlet, just as he was last season. I also expect to see one or both of the pair of Alvaro Morata and Sebastian Giovinco see time as a sub. Morata has had an encouraging start at Juve, especially given his initial injury, while Giovinco could be on the cusp of a mini-renaissance under Allegri.
Juventus will need her starters in top form for this showdown with Roma.
Predicted Lineup
3-5-2 : Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Marchisio, Pogba, Asamoah; Llorente, Tevez
Injuries
Andrea Barzagli, Andrea Pirlo, Luca Marrone and Romulo. Alvaro Morata (Fitness tests)
Scouting
At this point, I think that everybody knows that Roma is a very good football team. They have probably the best coach in Serie A and they have a complete squad with at least two valuable players in every position. They got off a brilliant start in Serie A and Champions League and they travel to Turin with loads of enthusiasm and desire to launch an important signal in the Scudetto race.
Roma have many weapons: the legendary Francesco Totti with his crisp passes and shooting, the quickness and the dribbling skills of Gervinho and Juan Iturbe, the playmaking of Miralem Pjanic, the dynamism of Alessandro Florenzi, Destro’s ability in the box, the cuts of Nainggolan, the power of Maicon on the right flank…
They come to the Juventus stadium with a depleted squad, but the many absences shouldn’t affect the quality of the lineup too much. Daniele De Rossi (calf strain) and Davide Astori (LCL strain) will definitely miss the game, along with the long-term injured Kevin Strootman (ACL tear) and Federico Balzaretti. Leandro Castan hasn’t played in a while due to a nagging muscular issue: he’s likely to be sidelined too. Marco Borriello and Salih Ucan join the long list of unavailable players. Morgan De Sanctis is questionable too but Lukas Skorupski is a talented goalkeeper, even if he’s still raw.
Roma are without two centre-backs, but they haven’t suffered: Konstantinos Manolas has been commanding and Yanga-Mbiwa, despite looking a bit shaky at first, has been serviceable. Maicon, despite the national team’s controversy, has been his usual self. Ashley Cole hasn’t been particularly brilliant, but he remains a very experienced fullback.
Against Juventus, Rudi Garcia will probably field Francesco Totti and Gervinho. Iturbe has just returned from an injury: we’ll see who’ll be selected among him, Destro and Adem Ljajic. The choices midfielder are obliged: Miralem Pjanic-Seydou Keita-Radja Nainggolan. Keita is definitely not a defensive powerhouse like De Rossi, but he’s physical, technical and has played in the biggest stages: definitely a smart signing, considering that he was a free agent.
Besides the lineup, which could be change due to some natural rotations, it will be very interesting to see what strategy Garcia will deploy. In the past season, Roma played against Juventus twice in January. In the first game in Turin, they faced Juventus head-on, without altering their usual tactic. And they got trashed: 3-0. It was a fluky 3-0 with a penalty and two red cards in the final minutes because Roma basically lost it, but a convincing win nonetheless.
A couple of weeks later, Juventus and Roma squared off at the Olimpico in a Coppa Italia game. Roma were more conservative: they sit back and countered, they didn’t attack with too many players and were always very focused on the defensive phase. They played at a slower rhythm, crowding the spaces when they didn’t have the ball. Not only they won the game thanks to a Gervinho goal on a counter-attack, but Juventus didn’t have a single shot on target in that game.
We’ll see whether Roma have treasured that match and will use the same tactic or if, considering their excellent form, the extra motivations and the enthusiasm surrounding the team, they’ll won’t be that careful.
Predicted Lineup
4-3-3 : De Sanctis; Maicon, Manolas, Yanga-Mbwia, Cole; Pjanic, Keita, Nainggolan; Florenzi, Totti, Gervinho
Injuries
Kevin Strootman, Federico Balzaretti, Davide Astori, Daniele De Rossi and Leandro Castán
Great preview! Does anybody else think choosing Evra over Asamoah is a bad idea? Evra hasn’t been bad, but Asamoah is the much more effective player as a LWB or CMF offensively or defensively.
i’m not a fan of him starting over Asamoah in the league. I think he was ok v Atletico but no where near as dynamic as Asamoah.
Evra seems to misplace as many passes as he completes. Really want him to be a backup to Asamoah, not vice versa
Evra hasnt been bad, they are about equal once you weigh experience and IQ v crossing and defense. Id like to see Asamoah play LB when we switch to 4 defender formations. Evra for big CL games, Asa for big Serie A games, rotate for the rest.
I think Allegri should utilize our wing subs earlier. Asamoah for evra around the 60th minute in CL games would be prime. Lichstiener will run forever or ask for a sub so let him haha. When he does we are nice and deep.
We built a deep team this summer. Allegri has barely used it.
Allegri needs to make all subs faster. Except Padoin, that sub should never be made. He should sub 1 CM, 1 FWD, 1 WB/FWD every game we can. 1st sub should be in around 60-65′. 70-75′ if its a closer game.
You should become Allegri’s personal subsitution assistent. You can tell him when someone needs to warm, when he needs to sub someone, and whenever he says ”Simone go warm up” Padoin stands up and starts running, you yell ”Simone, come back and sit on the bench. Actually, go take a shower, you’re done.” Wouldn’t that be nice? 😛
Spot on, it’s no use to sub players after the 80th minute, how are they supposed to have an impact with such little time?
Evra is a good player, or atleast he was. But Asamoah knows this team, the team knows him and that shouldn’t be changed. Plus, Asamoah likes to take some dary shots. I like that about him. Same as trying to pass his man.
I don’t know, Evra does bring a lot of CL experience to the team, something most of them still lack. But Awesomoah is more the Juve kinda guy works his ass off to get results. In the crossing department neither is excellent but Asamoah dares to take on his opponents, something Evra does less.
In short I’d say it’s a tactical decisions depending on what opponent we have
https://football-italia.net/56771/caceres-close-juve-renewal
Caceres close to a new renewal that would keep him with us until June 2018.
Atletico 3-0 down against Valencia in the 20th min. What the fuck is this?
It happens. I cannot wait until Juve move to 4 man backline and has 3 attacking players. It needs to happen asap. We understand eachother as a team but in the attacking third we lack ingenuity with this 3-5-2. Llorente really should only play in a 4-3-3 and Tevez would thrive with a striker who could play the ball with his feet with him.
We’ll see what the do moving forward. We know they want to keep the ship steadied with the 3-5-2. I’d almost like to have it exposed tomorrow and have Juve move forward…
It made me think like.. were we so terrible that we couldnt beat this Atletico, or did we mindfuck them so hard that Valencia can walk right over them. I rather think the latter :p
I think theyre still celebrating beating us :p
Or theyre beat the f*ck up because of that war of a match we had
Again i prefer the second option xD
I think juve did them mentally and physically.
Its the day of the big one!!!COME ON JUVE!
Barzagli out injured for another 30days, that is some bad news..
oooh bloody hell,thats a blow.
Yeah some sort of stress fracture in his heel. I hope he gets back to top shape, the injuries are mounting up badly for him
pivotal we keep bonucci and chiellini injury free for a while.
ROMANISTI PEZZO DI MERDA (clap clap clap clap clap clap clap)ROMANISTI PEZZO DI MERDA……….
pirlo in place of vidal. not a good move. we don’t have anyone to break up play in midfield
what???official???
according to zuliani
official then!!!!…fucking hell….cant believe that???unless they know something we dont?
if allegri really wanted to play pirlo (which i wouldn’t because this game is too important and pirlo has been injured for over a month), he should’ve put him in place of marchisio. neither marchisio nor pogba can break up play like vidal
WTF??….i thought vidal would of been of starting…..im shocked!!!well we go with what we have got and take it from there.First thoughts are….allegri ain’t fussed about vidal.
Oh god why.. Pirlo is great ofc but after that lengthy injury, straight in to face Roma? Without Vidal guarding him? So fucked up.
I’d almost think Allegri wants him to play bad so he can force him out again
also, vidal has scored in the home fixture vs roma in the past 3 seasons, scoring 4 goals in the 3 games.
yep!!!good goals too!
Feels like we are playing russian roulette with the title tonight???….just dont understand why no vidal,no rush for pirlo,he been injured for over a month…and if worse came to worse….pereyra?????he would be the obvious…wouldnt he?
i think allegri is trying to show everyone that he values pirlo. he made dumb moves like that at milan too. there were rumors he didn’t value pato so he would rush pato back when pato wasn’t 100% and we all know how that turned out
no time for games now…..i love pirlo…full stop…but vidal should of been key tonight…just like his last few seasons v them.
i just don’t understand what allegri is thinking. roma is a counter attacking team with players like totti and pjanic. how are you not gonna play vidal?
bizzarre
You guys are forgetting vidal isn’t fully fit yet and he played just a few days ago
so im thinking tevez is gonna push farther up now that pirlo is back
pressure is on pirlo…..if he dont play well tonight….juve fans are gonna be baffled!!!i hope allegri has got this right.
berardi scored twice on his return from suspension but lazio still won 3-2
ALE ALE ALE ALE JUVEE JUVEE ALE ALE ALE ALE JUVEE JUVEE
here we go! forza juve!
https://dazsports.org/player4.php
or the old one with dutch comments :p
https://stvstreams.com/streams/stvflash1.html
lol. i taught you well :p
xD it was the best stream you ever gave me master dutch
Neither are working for me.. Why?!
You aren’t dutch. We don’t accept english people :p Jk, i dunno why. Maybe refresh?
I did!
Then i don’t think i can help you 🙁
Do I need a flash player or something? I never used to 🙁
I have had a site asking for flash player, not sure if that was these sites.
Im going to try reinstalling flash player and keep my fingers crossed.. Pray to the computer gods.. All that jazz
or google it, stvstreams,football streams, flash 1 stream, maybe it works that way
Thats weird, works great for me, not even lagging or anything 🙁
I gave Allegri a chance and he is ruining it now. Go away Allegri we don’t want you at Juve. I have to control myself to say it nicely.
Huh? How?
How what? Don’t you see his idiotic choices? He was already ruining it against Atletico and now he’s making it worse. I just don’t like him.
He loses one game after a great start and you want rid of him? Really? Playing Pirlo isn’t idiotic.. Vidal isn’t fit enough for 2 games in quick succession yet and Pirlo is pirlo
Pirlo is Pirlo. I trust Pirlo. Allegri on the other hand not. Vidal would be fine. He knows how to handle his body.
Lets just keep it on the fact that i really really REALLY dont like Allegri. I’m close to hating him even.
Okay I get that, I don’t like him. But he is doing well so far
It’s hard to tell if thats Allegri’s credit or the teams though.
He’s switched a few things up to great effect to be fair to him
im wondering why roma dont have sponsors on their shirts.
Well nice try Marchisio
good run in though
It’s working!! Thank you computer gods!
what happened? penalty?
Oh my goodness.. He changed his mind!
is that even legal?
Yeah just very, very rare
Of course it is, thats why players do it all the time 😛
i thought that once the ref says its just a free kick outside the box, it stays to what he first said. oh well learn new things everyday
No because he can then discuss it with his assistants and change it.. This time he just discussed it with the players
Yeah assistants can also tell him his decision was wrong and then he can change it, just has to be done before play has resumed I think
Wrongly too I think
Well, Maicon jumped out of the wall (which he shouldn’t), and it hit his arm.. Do you think he should have ruled to take the freekick again?
No I just think he jumped forward out of the box
That’s what I meant, but he did it before Pirlo touched the ball I think.
yellow and new free kick seems right to me, I dunno but penalty seemed harsh there
He was still inside the box though.
Yeah but I don’t know whether or not it was intentional, if he was just protecting his face I’d say its really harsh. If not penalty, but I just can’t see it clearly
nice tevez
Okay so my stream is obviously behind yours
whoops sorry for the spoilers
It’s fine, I hate watching penalties anyway, you took the worry out!
Good goal but penalty seems really harsh, or is it me?
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL TEVEEEEZ!!!! Ref is a dummy. Despite our plaers being right, never listen to players.
I actually think they may have been wrong watching it back
Garcia sent off? xD
Here come the referee bribing insults, sigh
Standard
wtf penalty for them?!
Wtf.. Totti dragged him down!!
why do i think this is gonna be an ugly game. 3 cards already for us
This is just a bizzare contest so far
yeah now im 100% sure this is gonna be an insane game
Totti is a shit scumbag. Only like him when playing for Italy, like Matterazzi
This ref is an idiot
oh my fuck
asshole gervinho.
Ho-lee sh*t that was dire from caceres! No that isn’t just me having a dig at him because he’s been great so far this season
are you talking about the hammy or the goal? cause the goal was bono or chiellini that got beat on the inside
The goal and I swear the guy had a pony tail so pretty sure it was Caceres. Even I couldn’t blame him for pulling a muscle
Caceres didnt get beat on the goal. Im pretty sure Chiellini lost his man.
Ah I’ll have to rewatch it.. Whoever it was, it was dire
yeah dude, chiellini got beat on an inside run.
lol another pen?
for us*
Lol wtf? Hahahaha ref is aids
anyone saw the tackle on pogba? you think its in the penalty box?
no
It was on the outer side of the line, lol. Shouldn’t have been a penalty imo.
None of the penalties this game should have been penalties
Maicon looked like he was in the box on his handball.
I thought so at first but watching the couple of replays it looks like he jumped out the box as it hit him
Yo, he was supposed to be behind the line when the ball is kicked and he jumped forward, ref is right to assume he was behind the 10m line (in the penalty area).
To assume, yes.. But he should be watching the play not assuming these things
You never know with this ref. Foul on Buffon in our penalty area, penalty for us.
Cant wait to hear all of the new Calciopoli rumors tomorrow morning.
I can’t wait for serie c football next year
Tomorrow? All we need is an English speaking Roma fan site, haha
Just take a look at chiesa di totti
I want to say something about the first half but i don’t know where to start.
Let’s just forget about it.
Alright.
so this idiot ref makes a big mistake and tries to clean it up with another big mistake. Maicon handball i think was fair. Naingolan didnt get fouled but they got a foul and then Totti pulls down licht so he gives a pen to make up for the other one. Then he gives us a pen cause someone probably told him Totti pulled licht down.
Morata needs to come on for Llorente, he moves around more, which is what we need up top right now.
And he might not search for more penalties like Llorente is doing right now. Oh wait, Morata is also spanish.
+ speed, we need it to rip apart Roma defense
This ref is a joke, none of the penalties was actually a penalty and his yellow cards make no sense either.
Bad joke, terrible game. Even if I do enjoy it, all this weird shit shouldn’t be happening
As long as we win this bad joke.
That is the main concern in the end indeed :p
i just hope that if we win (or godforbid lose), we learn from this and not just take the 3 points home
Yes, learn to not let that ref take control of our matches
They need to stay calm, we got so many useless yellows there.
Nope guys, just watched it.. Caceres was dire on the goal too. Chiellini did get beat on the run inside which was bad but caceres was dire in the run up allowing forehead to get to the position to play the ball
Caceres got injured when Gervinho ran passed him.
That wasn’t the goal, that was after
Wasn’t it right before the goal? O.o Or was it at the chance for the 1-3?
No the goal was from good free play, started with a Totti swing to the right, then a swing back left pass to Gervinho, who dribbles across the back line and drops it behind Bonucci for Iturbe to run on to. The ball got through very easily.
Good play, but bad defending by both caceres and chiellini/bonucci.. Not sure which
Before the chance for 1-3
caceres shouldn’t have let gervinho get past him but marchisio needed to be there. roma are getting the ball from their defense to ours way way too easily. also, chiellini should’ve tracked iturbe’s run
Caceres out, Barzagli out, Marrone out, Bonucci and Chiello both got yellow, who are we going to field as CB at this rate? Gio, better get used to a new role?
Recall rugani?
Rather not, then he’s restricted to the bench for the rest of the season 😛 He’s doing well, let’s not disturb that
Next season then
Giovinco yessss haha
Ah yes, the strikers won’t have a chance on set peices against him, they will never beat him to the header
With one of these he’ll become unbeatable https://www.lobbes.nl/speelgoed/buitenspeelgoed/in-de-tuin/tuinspellen/detail/2420143A-pogo-springstok-rood
Ogbonna for Caceres, Morata for Llorente and Vidal for Marchisio. Do it Allegri.
Nah, switch 4-3-3, Coman in for Caceres, fuck yeah
coman’s pace will win us like 3 pks lol
Haha
Exactly xD #legit
No Padoin? :/
Only if Buffon needs a sub.
Padoin in goal, be prepared for a 2-22 score after 90 minutes.
we should switch to a 4-3-3. ogbonna will get burned by gervinho
Halftime:
Ogbonna in
Caceras out
allegri’s such a dumbass. still no vidal and ogbonna in
I dont like Ogbonna, but he should do fine.
Can these pussies stand on their feet for longer than a minute? Gee, all I see is rolling players in red
Also, as if one penalty wasnt enough for the Juve haters, now we got the equaliser with another one, merda boys will like this to moan about
Yo ref, Pogba fell in their box, where’s the penalty?
heart attack everywhere. geez please bring on vidal
Sweet lord that was a narrow escape
wtf ogbonna
That move was reminiscent of del pieros goal vs germany in 2006.. Shame it wasn’t del Piero on the end of it
Vidal and Morata, now Allegri. Not in the fucking 85th minute
well morata is in now
Wut, my stream is lagging then. Leaves only Vidal to be subbed in.
Who’s out then?
llorente
Oh, goodie
and jeez no one can cross the ball
shit ogbonna cant handle the forehead
Gervinho looks like zidane in front of ogbonna
Zidane doesn’t have such a forehead, why insult him like that?
;p
Zidane also had no hair.
Well close to none, their was always a few bit on his head :p
70 minutes in and no vidal in sight
Eh Morata, don’t overdo it xD shooting from that distance
Finally Vidal
finally vidal at the 79 minute
god damn the post
Sheeeee that was so close, I want a Morata goal so badly
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
GOLNUCCI!!! What a potential game winner.
BONUCCI BONUCBIO XOVJJCVJCZKHASCHGKAJVAHGBGXVKHAVHV KWI= LEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOLYYYYYY SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
LEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness! What a goal!!!!!!!
Holy shit
rookie mistake. wtf morata
it will get overturned. Morata did nothing wrong.
ah yeah. seeing the replay
Morata did nothing, he just stood his ground and didn’t put his hands up or anything. If I was him I would’ve knocked that asshole Manolas out.
If that was you manolas would have knocked you out lol
Manolas is a pussy tho
If it was you Manolas would have had a problem though. He’s greek.
Morata did nothing wrong, clean tackle, fucking ref is a rookie
He got the ball.. Wtf?! Seriously this ref is just incapable
Just imagine the reaction, if the ref only sent off Manolas…
Shit like this happens, I think the ref just wanted to get over this match the quickliest way possible, without calling it off early.
A good ref should t worry about that, he should make the right call
Yes, but he already fucked up a couple of times, he can’t fix the first half in 88th minute.
He doesn’t have to make it worse though
This ref is easily one of the worst I’ve ever seen, this game was totally out of control and it’s due to him for the biggest part
Maybe, he didn’t see it clearly.
I can never really buy that. He has 5 officials with him, maybe even more standing at the side. It’s impossible that none of them saw this. I think it was pretty close to where the fourth official should be.
He should have given Morata a yellow for his tackle and Manolas a red for the reaction. Anyone can see on video that Morata did nothing wrong except coming in with a hard tackle, which is a yellow according to the rules.
I believe Morata was sent off because he “slapped” Manolas when they stood up. It was clearly defensive, but still, his hand touched Manolas’ face, and the ref or the 4th official made a quick decision.
Red card for both just to shut everyone up is okay imo to finish the last couple minutes relativly peacfully.
If he only sent out Manolas there, there would have been a fight for sure.
I still believe it was the right call this time.
Edit: here you can see the “slap” I mean:
https://gfycat.com/BewitchedWellwornKodiakbear
I’d have done that when a maniac is coming at me like that too. He’s clearly just pushing Manolas away. I agree the ref might have made the right decission for his own sake and for the Roma fans not feeling more stolen than they already do, but according to the rules what Morata did was only yellow worthy. I’d probably say it was red worthy if the roles were turned around though.
Shitstorm incoming is guaranteed now
jeez dis game
It’s a shame that terrible refereeing ruined what could have been a great footballing spectacle.. Still 3 points and a few lessons to learn so a successful game in my eyes
We won, all I wanted. Well done in the end and please, go back to school mister referee
That goal from Bonucci though, there are strikers who can’t score that, dayum that was a beauty
He has a habit for those every now and then.. Rememebr that one in the CL?
I do, when he scores it’s a real game winner it seems xD
The man is a showman, onky scores the game winning beauty’s
From now on, when people shout LEOOOOOO they mean Bonucci and not that small dude in Spain!
Our Leo can do it all, that midget steroid pusher in Spain could never defend a corner or punch a gunman quite like ours
Bonucci’s name is actually Leo. Messi’s name is Lio.
Haha yes I know, I was just cheering for our star man tonight
Brilliant cornor from Pirlo, amazing goal by Bonucci.
All the more brilliant from Pirlo considering he had been taken off by that point
Which one are you talking about then? I’m talking about this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RHHrEIjszc
Actually props to forehead for not diving when he had a clear opportunity to do so in the second half, with this ref it would’ve been a guarenteed penalty
Mm I guess tomorrow we’ll get to enjoy to read reactions from butthurt Garcia and Totti and in a certain degree they are right to do so, this ref was terrible.
Just the shit they will throw at Juve is uncalled for
I dont think i’m gonna read it. I’m gonna live in a Juve only world for a while 🙂
‘If I don’t read it, it doesn’t happen’
Yes! Best way to think haha.
Hehe but I called it, the two people complaining the most are exactly those 😛
Yeah. Totti always cries but this goes beyond crying. Garcia got sent off so obviously he’s crying now. He’s washing away the thoughts about what he wants to do with the ref.
Oh well, I understand the frustration about the ref, we’d be upset too if we lost it this way. Just the whole deal blaming Juve for it is overreacting
allegri could have put this game in our control from the beginning had he played vidal instead of marchisio. roma were able to get the ball from their defense to ours far too easily.
I think by the way that Asamoah has proven now that he belongs in the starting squad. Might not have done something deciding, but he did good and useful things. Knew to hold the ball at the end of the match and not give Roma the ball. While Evra would probably try to attack and lose the ball with his Premier League minded football. @Evra, no offense, just a compliment for our Kwadwo.
https://football-italia.net/56866/totti-juve-hook-or-crook
Totti I love you and you’ll always be one of my favourite players but this? This is pathetic.
Dutch.. Don’t read that
I just read it. Well the title only. I’m not much of a reader xD
Is this how they spoke even before calciopoli?
He’s sore that we’re on route to our 4th consecutive scudetto.
He’s an incredible player but he’s always lacked class. Whenever he loses, he whines like a little bitch. He threatened to leave roma if they didnt pay him what he wanted.
I get it, you’re Italian, we all have our national heroes, but from an outsiders perspective, Totti is a piece of shit. He’s a great player, I once bought his Italia jersey. He’s always been a douche to opponents though.
I think we all, Marc included, acknowledge how much of a douche Totti is
He’s the player who got me interested in football, he may say and do douchey things but as a footballer I love him for italy and roma alike .
For Italy I love him, as Roma player he’s the worst douchebag ever
He’s a douchebag and apparently an idiot. Like not name calling idiot, actually stupid.
Oh I agree on douchebag but I think he just gets carried away by emotions too easily, I wouldn’t call him stupid xD. I understand his frustrations after this game but yeah calling out Juve like that is a low thing to do
No, Ive heard from numerous actual Italians that Totti is stupid. Like, he doesnt speak properly and says really stupid shit, because he skipped out on a lot of school to play football. Idk if its true, but I can believe it.
I’ve just been watching some videos with Italians messing around with/about Totti, there might be something to it actually. He has an enormous Roman accent too
Let’s all take a minute and laugh at Inter.
Gladly
Our next few Serie A games should be quite straightforward, Sassuolo is up next, they are rock bottom right now. Still a game to look forward to, there will be more than 11 Juve players on that field xD
Then at home against Palermo, away Genoa, away Empoli, home Parma, away Lazio. That’s over a month until we play a big team again, counting Lazio as one. After that the Turin derby.
In short, time and chances enough to give CL full focus, I want nothing less than 2wins against Olympiacos and another win against Malmo.
We just cant wait to secure it on the last day against Atletico, we don’t want a repeat of last year
Hilarious aftermath. Some people talking about Calciopoli 2 haha
Just dont feed the trolls and look forward. We all know the Rocchi was horrendous.
So this season the Supercoppa will be in Doha, Qatar..
On December 22, wtf 😀
So then we’re up against Napoli for that cup
We play them for the cup, then 2 weeks later we play them in the league. Could be trouble.
I just hope they will still be in the same shitty form they’re in right now, we’ll beat them twice
I cant believe their current form. With the team they have they should be in 3rd right now. I just hope we dont destroy them for the cup, because theyll have something more to prove in the league game.
Agreed but I don’t mind it so much, never liked Napoli anyway xD And with them in Europe too, I hope to see Serie A get some more coefficient points this season
Just watch this to cool down if you need it!

I have no idea what they are saying but its hilarious xD
i like the joke lol!!!
Haha this is hilarious, just as their hair! :p
Strootman giving Juve fans the Dell’ombrello (fuck you) gesture at the game.

Emotions running high.. I don’t blame him. Is that De rossi calming him down?
Yeah. It was to the fans right next to him.
It’s ironic that De Rossi is the one who kept his cool. Tho he’s used to it ofcourse
Little do we know the video is too short, and de rossi whispered “no dude this is how you do it” and made a more obscene gesture.
Must think he’s a big guy now, insulting fans xD
What a shame, i really like Strootman. hes one of the only players i love outside of Juve. I guess putting on that Roma shirt eventually turns you into a pig
He’s never really been a calm person :p It’s not really mature tho

Ok if thats true, then f*ck those fans.
Ugh, Caceres is also out for a month. We have 3CB’s left out of 6. Bonucci, Chiellini and Ogbonna. They will have to be fit and stay clear of yellow cards now
We have Marrone as a backup for Bonucci!
He’s also injured 🙁

shit. hope this aint true
Me too, would be stupid to sell him for arriving late on a training..
Suicidal even
I think they are pontificating. Juve will use some tactics to let Vidal know their message, this is just a sensationalized article.
it’s just english media trying to grab at whatever they can
I mean… for 60m I wouldn’t say no. He can be replaced. Allan costs 15-18m and is exactly where Vidal was in terms of skill when Vidal was Allan’s age.
