Legend has it that one day over a century ago, November 1, 1897 to be exact, a group of youngsters age 14 to 17 from the D'Anzeglio High School in Turin, sitting on an uncomfortable bench on a street called Corso Re Umberto, decided to start a sports club with the aim of playing football. The same legend has it that the club was called "Juventus" more or less by chance, and that the name was immediately loved and adopted as a way of life.


The Club, who's first president was Enrico Cafari, changed headquarters often but soon made a name for itself against many more expert teams in town. The players weared pink jerseys. Juventus made their debut in the Italian championship in 1900, wearing this uniform. The black and white one was imported directly from Nottingham in 1903. The team played in Piazza d'Armi. Meanwhile some of the early games were played on a field near the current train station of Porta Susa. This field was soon covered by buildings and Juventus rented a field on the Motovelodromo Umberto I in the Crocetta part of town instead. Juventus played here until 1906. Juventus then moved to the north of the city and the Stadio di Corso Marsiglia. This small stadium was known as “Campo Juventus" in Turin.







Trivia

- The only European club to receive UEFA Plaque for their triumph in winning European Champions Cup/Champions League, Cup Winners Cup & UEFA Cup.
- The club is currently fourth in Europe and seventh in the world with the most international titles won officially recognized by their respective continental football confederation and FIFA
- In 1985, Juventus became the first club in the history of European football to have won all three major UEFA competitions, the European Champion Clubs' Cup, the (now-defunct) UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup (first Italian and Southern European side to win the competition).
- After winning the Intercontinental Cup in the same year, Juventus also became the first football team ever—remain the only one at present—to have won all official international competitions.

Kuale yo should put your name in different colours too..as TS for this JUVE V2 Page...

haha no need la.. Im just normal member like u guys

btw, don't u guys think its quite annoying with this international break timing? When our team starting to pick up form...international week came. Last season was similar case.. We were near the top of the table after our 13 matches undefeated streak..International week came and after resume..we got trounce 4-1 by Parma

possible injuries would cause a major concern too

Fuh 1st time single season ada revised thread...baru 6 game pulak tu!

what happen to old stadium

demolished

the ground for the old stadium is now the ground of the current Juventus Stadium

Yeah but can't help it. International breaks are needed for those qualifiers, otherwise we wont have world cup, euro etc. Also countries need to play games from time to time.

We got more depth this season. Just hope our strikers be healthy...

And I think supermario pulled out from the national team due to a knock.

This post has been edited by SnoWFisH: Oct 6 2011, 10:05 AM

seeing Italy already qualified to Euro finals...i just hope our player don't return with injuries..

reportin in too hehehe

Hmmm injury crisis started already (except iaquinta)
Mr. Slippery got Muscular problem during training...hope conte don't overload the training..train hard but not overload...
maybe estigaribbia turn will come up to show what he got...

BTW now uefa started to "campur tangan" in calciopoli...

Mr Silppery injured? But still im less worry unlike last season bcoz we got capable replacement.. Either Pepe, Elia, Marcelo can play as left winger.. As for Krasic he need to keep up his game...bcoz knowing Conte, he can bench any player he want.. Even ADP doesn't got to be in action against Milan..

^yes but hoping conte put more other player in action too like...elia,quag,marcelo, if not their morale will surely down..

Jusstatic reporting in

Now Marchisio got injured in italy match...

injured? Oh my...he just scored his first goal in azzuri shirt now hes injured...damm

prandellii played him for 70 minutes
WTH,,hopefully its not serious injury

From lol.com said is marchisio injury is not serious..sos

So long not check in, now move to new thread... Reporting in...

This post has been edited by Deani_77: Oct 8 2011, 06:42 PM

same... too busy lately

marchsio i think is rarely injured, hope not serious

man, this international weekend is really long..

yeap....dem long... And we resume against Chievo on 16th Oct. Co-incidentally speaking..last season our downfall start with a draw against Chievo..and u know the rest.

Hope we just can pickup the pace where we left off. And since there are around 60% of Italy starters are from Juve...i just hope any of them don't pick up any injuries..esp in no-meaning-game against Northern Ireland

Hmmm...our match against northern ireland is tmr morning right?

yup..tomorrow...err today... 2.45am

Italy trash Northern Ireland 3-0 to end the qualifying stage unbeaten..with 20 goals scored & 2 conceded.. Not bad i say.

And too bad for Krasic..his team failed to even qualify to play-offs after loss in Slovenia...try again next time

Ooo...expecting Serbia to go for the play off lol. What happened ah...
Oh well...with the exception of Marc, the rest of our squad pretty much escaped unscathed...

Giovinco future to be decided



http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/...-summer?cc=4716

there has been a link of giovinco return to juventus, so guys, wat do u all think of this, shud we welcome him if he return, me personally will be please if he return as he has shown his quality and so far iinm mistaken, last season altho he scored against us, he didnt show any celebration, kinda he is still respectin our club.

I would want him to return.

But If I'm the player, I will stay in Parma. Guaranteed first place is most important at this current time.

i would be happy if he return

well afterall it all depends on himself... If he wanna stuck on mid level(no punt intended,Parma)..he can stay there...but if want to join the new Juventus revolution (new stadium, new mentality etc)...im very gladly to welcoming him back

kuale : don't forget it was Juve at fault initially. we pretty much neglected him in the past and it was Parma who gave him a new lease. Even Amauri did very well during the 2nd half of last season (Amauri should have go to Parma thsi season if he's really serious in reviving his career. Everyone can see he has no more future in Juve).

IINM Conte did actually offered Gio to return b4 the start of this season. And knowing Conte
preferences over Italian player..Gio definitely starting ahead of Pepe/Elia etc

But the damage already done in Pre-Conte era .

if dat was the case maybe Gio should blamed the former Juve official & coach instead.

Agnelli, Marotta & Conte all came after the Juve 'dark age'

---

Added on October 14, 2011, 11:38 amand not to mention most fans were behind him
so yeah if Gio want himself to be dubbed as "Italian
Lionel Messi" again...perhaps he shud return. But if
he doesn't i don't care very much either

This post has been edited by [kuaLe]_AGX: Oct 14 2011, 11:38 AM

This is why Mr.slippery got juve chances they are quite similar but he is less of technique, Balance and finishing i guess

idk guys, but i feel giovinco's return will spell an uneasy power struggle in the midfield area which currently has quite a decent & deeper lineup. first team would be an issue for him ahead of regular starters. plus he's playing well in the forward position in parma, a position in which he won't have in juve (not at least as a regular). so we cant say his return would be truly effective eventhough we are fond his good skills

This post has been edited by Ah Shawn: Oct 14 2011, 02:45 PM

yea... and gio also like to whining, rather than compete for the 1st team.

"balance". LOL

right now, probably... Bcoz he got to stay behind Del Piero, Vucinic, Quag who can play as 2nd striker in the pecking order.
But if our capitano did retire next season...then its a different story

Gio Return is possible maybe after ADP retired then he take #10

---

Added on October 14, 2011, 3:35 pmI got info that conte will use back 4-2-4 system and either ADP or Quag will start along side Vuci against Chievo..

This post has been edited by Firdaus_Fenriz: Oct 14 2011, 03:35 PM

4-4-2 @ 4-2-4 whichever possible is the suited formation against smaller team who were less adventurous & like to defend/counter more

Anyway our title credibility came to the game like this.. If we failed to beat smaller teams then count how many pts it will cost us (we already dropped 4 against Bologna & Catania)

yup hopefully we can't shut down sergio pellissier.. he always score against us...i remember last 2 or 3 year back he hits hat-trick against us..

we should do better this time round, after all we got chiellini, barzagli, bonucci and lich all fit . not to mention PDC/motta will be available as backup too.

On Soccernet, MU seem to be interested in Krasic and rumoured that he wil leave

This post has been edited by SnoWFisH: Oct 14 2011, 07:25 PM

There a lot of rumour regarding krasic rising up juve this time but krasic more rumour on chelsea and quag to mu

This post has been edited by Firdaus_Fenriz: Oct 14 2011, 10:17 PM

Krasic to MU? Merely just a rumours. Why would MU need him when they got Nani/Young etc

^btw nice siggy there

and valencia too ...so rumours they will stay

aside from that, thank god moggi finally spoke up about the tevez rumour

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/...signing?cc=4716

i was rather loathing him coming to juve considering his inability to stay loyal to any one club in the past 5 years on top of his recent spat in mancity

Tevez? Hahaha a no-no-no & NO. We don't need him. We NEVER need him

If Amauri was troublesome enough to us...then can u imagine when we got this stonehead-dressing room troublemaker-pure mercenary disloyal Tevez..

TQ Bro

Well at least amauri is willing to prove himself mentally but fail Rather than take un-loyal tevez

btw guys here the list for the trip to Chievo

1 Buffon
2 Motta
3 Chiellini
5 Pazienza
7 Pepe
8 Marchisio
10 Del Piero
11 De Ceglie
13 Manninger
14 Vucinic
15 Barzagli
18 Quagliarella
19 Bonucci
21 Pirlo
22 Vidal
24 Giaccherini
26 Lichtsteiner
27 Krasic
28 Estigarribia
30 Storari
32 Matri

only Elia is missing. And im looking forward for Quag-Matri @ Del Piero-Vucinic starting in front.. While its a hard choice for Conte to pick central MF with all 3 of
Vidal,Pirlo,March on form

^ Yes Matri/Quag duo look nice..and really hope for estigaribbia debut..

anyone following/watching dis game right now? I can't watch astro nor streaming...fuuuuu

estigaribbia debut, we were both lucky n unlucky for this match. lucky for the disallowed penalty, unlucky for or captain header hittin the pole. 0-0 final result, altho it is a draw, at least we get 1 point. hope we can play much better after this, players need to understand each other movement more as we easily gave away possesion. only the final 10 min of the match seems a bit promising from our side..

^add summore gia is injured....

just checked all other serie a games so far tonite,
FT Cesena 0 - 0 Fiorentina
FT Atalanta 0 - 0 Udinese
FT Cagliari 0 - 0 Siena
FT Chievo 0 - 0 Juventus
FT Genoa 0 - 0 Lecce
FT Novara 0 - 2 Bologna

so many draw results, only bologna wins. we stil stay on top of the table but sharing point with udinese, we need to strengthen our position more by wining more games n widen the gap, take this opportunity of ac n inter loose form.

erm...5-6 games have a goalless draw.

Napoli also lose last night...while Milan won and back on track. We should've won to widen the gap.. Anyway acquiring a point in Verona is not an easy task.. We got 1pt but its okay than a lose

yaa, 1 point is still a very good point at this stage. but we really need to improve our finishing, passing and understanding between players. also, why conte played a lone striker?? only put vusinic. we need at least a backup striker, a pair like vusinic quad/matri.

adoi draw....but dunno weird or not.....almost all the matches got no goals?

hmm maybe like as i said b4..Conte got headache picking who to play in the middle

FT Cesena 0 - 0 Fiorentina
FT Atalanta 0 - 0 Udinese
FT Cagliari 0 - 0 Siena
FT Chievo 0 - 0 Juventus
FT Genoa 0 - 0 Lecce

Juventus Official FB Page did share a pic of full squad but sadly no pic taken from front being reveal out yet...

This post has been edited by Firdaus_Fenriz: Oct 17 2011, 09:19 PM

ooo got the full squad pics ah? if got pls share it here

^they not reveal it yet i guess or just for their premium member only..

btw this season would be Ale Capitano last season as Juve player

This what they show so far in the video of making a full squad pic i guess there should be 3 pic 2 with jersey and 1 suit line up...



*BTW i didn't even see a shadow of our former #11 iinm currently #38 or is he free agent now??

This post has been edited by Firdaus_Fenriz: Oct 19 2011, 10:38 AM

he's merely a Juventus player tied by contract only.. Not by coach support...and surely not on fan support

well he choose paycheck over football (snubbing both Fenerbahce & Marseille earlier this season)...then that's
the only thing he gonna get

Confirmed this season will be ADP's last year. Agnelli confirmed it himself.

Anyway, change objective. Let's go and win the dem title for our captain!

the injury curse has attack our squad...now vidal is in doubt against Genoa..
WIth Gia out and Elia iinm also out...
this will make pazienza/marrone and estigaribbia chances to prove themself..

means possible line-up will be

---------buffon-----------

-lict--barz---bonucci-Chiel-

--pazien--pirlo---marchsio-

krasic-------------------pepe-

-----------matri/vuci----------

Genoa IINM was an adventurous side who doesn't rely on defending very much..given their ( goals scored & 8 goals conceded.

If that the case i hope Conte playing 4-4-2 against them. Marchisio-Pirlo in the middle with Krasic & Pepe...maybe Marcelo debut..as a flanker.. With Matri & Vucinic in front..or maybe its time for Quag to get some action...no?

Genoa was fond of the 3-4-3 system when gian piero was around.not too sure if theyre still sticking to that formation

they r currently using 4-3-3 @ 4-5-1 similar to us. But who knows when they visited Juventus stadium
they gonna revert to 6-3-1 like smaller team usually play against us

conte was seem experimenting with 4-3-3 with Matri, vucinic and Quag up front. Not sure if this is a wise choice against Genoa...their attack is almost similar to Udinese...we have to be careful not to make our midfield too thin.

Juventus vs Genoa was always have been high scoring game.. Last season we beat them 3-2 in Turin, a season b4 we also beat em 3-2. I don't mind we're winning 3-2 again but seeing how our defending improving this season...i hope Juve can did a clean sheet & winning atleast 3-0

and about Conte testing formation.. It would be great if Quag on the right with Matri(center) & Vuci on the left. Quag playing on the right most of the time with Napoli/Udinese while Vuci already playing as SS on the left with Roma.

Yeap, even with Toni in the middle, I think we can get some good heads in .

More importantly is our defence dont lose concentration.

Conte conte...we all know Krasia and elia is off-form...please try employing PDC in a more advance winger role like what he did for italy U23...

And, its going to be a busy night for Buffon

This post has been edited by SnoWFisH: Oct 21 2011, 10:48 AM

Krasic if u guys noticed...he's become stale & one dimensional.. He shud've know dat Serie a is a tactical league.. Opponent esp defenders studied u. Krasic only know to run outside the defender & try to beat them.. which often lead to unsuccessful attempt. He should adapt @ tweak his playing style a bit

i read that that the del piero retirement things is from agnelli, not from himself. honestly i want to see him again in CL next season, small part is doesn't matter. his wage also unbelievable low now.

kesian adp,somehow i think apd felt being chased out from the club before the contract even gonna end.... agnelli didnt show respect to a legend.

agnelli din't handle this thing properly. like moggi said, its best to leave it to the end of the season and let ADP announce it himself...

better keep adp rather than keep iaquinta who is always unfit...

Del Piero: 'Am I upset? A little bit'



terguris hati legend.

stream pls stream pls =)

demmit is dat was true(forcing ADP to retire/leave) dat was the ultimate sign of disespect

anyway where firdaus when we need him?

found it

http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/87433/1...-genoa-cfc.html

good luck juve!!

Mmg lah...if im him, terus di-motivated already... In terms of honoring old veterans, I admit AC milan is the best at this (in a good way)!

GOALLLLLLLL!!!!..ahahaha...ADP seems to be the focus of the cameras in this match

we're in the lead...courtesy of Matri

Guys, where Is buffon? Injured?

Injured iinm.

damn...its now 1-1
