Chiellini calls for signings
Thursday 31 July, 2008
Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has spoken out in favour of the Bianconeri returning to the market.

President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has stressed that the Old Lady have done their business for the summer, but there are constant Press rumours linking them with star names.

Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso had been expected to arrive before the purchase of Christian Poulsen and Chiellini thinks it would be a sound investment.

“There are no doubts over Alonso,” he told Sky Sport Italia. “He is a great player who could help us.

“There could be others like him but I’m sure that the club will bring in another great champion to allow us to make the leap of class needed to fight Milan, Inter and Roma.”

A possible move for Inter’s Dejan Stankovic was derailed by protests from the Juve fans.

“It’s only natural that Dejan, having played for Inter for so many years, wouldn’t be welcomed that warmly at first, but players like him know how to win over fans,” Chiellini insisted.

“I don’t know what the club will decide to do, but I know that if Stankovic arrived he would undo all the ill feeling he amassed with the Juve fans while playing for the Nerazzurri.”

Finally, Chiellini discussed the possibility of a move for Alberto Aquilani, who is currently considering a new contract offer from Roma.

“We have played together for the national side since we were 15 and our parents are close friends,” he explained.

“We speak a lot and I have always told him to come to Turin, but he has to make his decision and he is obviously very attached to Roma, having grown up there.”

Friendly: Trez shoots down Gunners
Saturday 2 August, 2008
Juventus have beaten hosts Arsenal in the Emirates Cup thanks to a controversial David Trezeguet strike.

The Frenchman hit the back of the net twice, both times offside, but the second was allowed to stand.

Claudio Ranieri fielded the unusual front pairing of Vincenzo Iaquinta and Trezeguet against the hosts in the Emirates Cup this afternoon. He split the squad into two, so the others will feature against Hamburg on Sunday.

Aaron Ramsey tested Gigi Buffon with a shimmying run and low shot on 28 minutes and the Bianconeri struggled to create chances. They hit the back of the net on 35 minutes with a Trezeguet glancing header, though he was flagged offside on Pavel Nedved's cross-shot.


It was only a warning, as moments later Trezeguet got his goal in not entirely dissimilar circumstances. The Frenchman was again offside as he stretched to prod Iaquinta's free kick into the far corner, but this time the goal was allowed to stand.

Philippe Senderos needed a well-timed tackle to stop Marco Marchionni's counter in the box, as the goal seemed to shake Juve out of their lethargy.

The Gunners threw on former Milan transfer target Emmanuel Adebayor along with Abou Diaby and William Gallas. Arsenal improved and Hoyte's cross was inches past the head of Emmanuel Eboue.

Ranieri: We passed Arsenal test
Sunday 3 August, 2008
Claudio Ranieri cannot help but be pleased with Juventus’ latest Euro victory over Arsenal and looks ahead to today’s meeting with Hamburg.

The Bianconeri’s summer tour in preparation for the Champions League preliminary round has been an unqualified success with victories on Brondby, Borussia Dortmund and now Arsenal’s home turf.

“I am happy with this win,” smiled the Coach following Saturday’s 1-0 result in the Emirates Cup.

“It is true that in the first half Arsene Wenger fielded many youngsters, who had nonetheless done well in previous outings.

“But in the second period the big guns came on and my lads maintained the same performance levels. I’d say we passed an excellent test.”


David Trezeguet scored the only goal of the game, although replays suggest he was in an offside position when redirecting Vincenzo Iaquinta’s free kick.

Juventus have a chance to win the trophy, as they are on four points – three for the win, one for each goal scored – when taking on Hamburg this afternoon.

Real Madrid currently lead following their 2-1 victory over Hamburg and they face Arsenal later today.

“Now we must focus on Hamburg and, as promised, I’ll play those who did not start on Saturday. The Germans played well against Real and beat us last year, so this time around we want to do better.”

Among those set to start at the Emirates are Amauri, Alessandro Del Piero, Christian Poulsen and Mauro Camoranesi.

It is all good preparation for the Champions League preliminary round, which will be against either Artmedia Bratislava or Tampere United of Finland.

Friendly: Hamburg hit Juve
Sunday 3 August, 2008
Juventus saw two players stretchered off and a goal disallowed in their 3-0 Emirates Cup defeat to Hamburg in the Emirates Cup.

Claudio Ranieri changed the entire starting XI that had beaten Arsenal 1-0 yesterday, testing the new front pairing of Amauri and Alessandro Del Piero. Hamburg had lost 2-1 to Real Madrid in stoppages, but made relatively few adjustments.

The Germans dominated the first half and Antonio Chimenti seemed less than reliable, confirming Juve’s intention to buy another goalkeeper this summer. He struggled with Jarolim and Trochowski efforts before he hesitated, allowing Paulo Guerrero to sweep home Boateng’s ball over the top.

Zidan and Jarolim wasted more chances before the break and Ranieri made changes with Zdenek Grygera, Cristian Molinaro, Marco Marchionni and Giorgio Chiellini coming off the bench. Only one of those substitutions was forced, as Dario Knezevic was stretchered off.

Manninger joins Juventus
Tuesday 5 August, 2008
Austrian international goalkeeper Alex Manninger has signed for Juventus and is relishing the chance to play understudy to Gigi Buffon.

Manninger spent last season on loan to Siena from Red Bull Salzburg and impressed in Tuscany.

The 31-year-old has now joined Juve in London and is ready to give his all to the Bianconeri cause.

“I am very happy to have arrived at Juventus,” Manninger said. “Here football really counts.

“I have gained a lot of experience playing for smaller sides but I was at Arsenal a few years ago and I wanted to return to a big club at the highest level.”

Manninger is unlikely to be called into action on many occasions with Azzurri No 1 Buffon holding the gloves.

“We all know Buffon’s ability and his role in this squad,” he continued. “Only one goalkeeper can play at a time but in a squad of 25 there must be more than one custodian and we have three.

“I’m ready to give as much of a contribution as I can make to this team.”

Friendly: Juve impress United
Wednesday 6 August, 2008
Alessandro Del Piero shone as Juventus gave Manchester United a real tussle at Old Trafford, drawing 0-0 with the European champions.

The Bianconeri continued their tour in preparation for the Champions League preliminary round - who it has now been confirmed will be Artmedia Bratislava after a 7-3 aggregate win over Tampere United.

Their last visit here five years ago ended in the Final defeat to Milan on penalties but, just like that day, Pavel Nedved was unavailable. The injured Czech's role was taken by Hasan Salihamidzic, moving Giorgio Chiellini to left-back.

Among those watching from the stands was England - and former Juve - manager Fabio Capello.

Mauro Camoranesi's shot was deflected over by Wes Brown from Del Piero's counter, while at the other end Darren Fletcher fired over after springing the offside trap. Camoranesi was fortunate to get away with it when he accidentally handed the ball to Carlos Tevez, then a good Rio Ferdinand tackle finally halted the Argentine-Italian inside the box.

Del Piero really should have scored on 20 minutes with a fantastic opportunity. Camoranesi went on another mazy run and rolled across for the unmarked captain from eight yards, but he hesitated to get the ball on to his stronger foot and allowed the United defenders to fling themselves in his path.

Juve duo to miss a month
Monday 11 August, 2008
Juventus will have to do without Cristiano Zanetti and Marco Marchionni for around a month.

Zanetti sustained a muscular problem during training last week, while Marchionni reported an injury on Sunday.

Claudio Ranieri knew that he would be missing the two midfielders for Wednesday’s crucial Champions League clash against Artmedia, but the pair also look likely to miss the start of the Serie A season.

Marchionni, who had been on good form in pre-season friendlies, has damaged his right thigh and tests predict he will need at least three weeks to heal
.

Meanwhile, Zanetti’s complaint may be more serious than initially feared and the former Inter man could also be kept on the sidelines until mid-September.

Fortunately for Ranieri, Mauro Camoranesi is back in action and Pavel Nedved, Momo Sissoko and Christian Poulsen are ready to cover the midfield against Artmedia.

However, there are still reports in Tuttosport that Juve could be tempted to make an audacious bid for Roma star Alberto Aquilani to fill the void.

Juve are 95th in the world
Tuesday 12 August, 2008
Roma are flying high but Juventus are only the 95th best team in the world, claims the International Federation of Football History and Statistics.

The IFFHS uses a variety of statistics gathered from all official matches to produce its annual rankings.

However, while the studies are based on logical calculations, they can produce some questionable results.

European champions Manchester United are top of the pile, but amazingly Scottish giants Rangers, who crashed out of the Champions League preliminaries to Lithuanian side Kaunas, are in second place.

Chelsea are third, while Bayern Munich and Barcelona are fourth and fifth respectively.

Roma are flying the flag for Italy in sixth spot ahead of Scudetto winners Inter in 10th, possibly due to their superior European campaign.

Fiorentina are in 12th and Milan manage 15th in spite of a miserable season, but Juventus are not amongst the elite.

In fact, the Old Lady are languishing down in 95th and will need to impress in this term’s Champions League to rejoin the giants.

IFFHS’ Top 10 sides:

1. Manchester United
2. Rangers
3. Chelsea
4. Bayern Munich
5. Barcelona
6. Roma
7. Liverpool
8. Arsenal
9. Boca Junior
10. Inter

Giovinco The New Zidane - Furino

Former Juventus midfielder Giuseppe Furino believes Sebastian Giovinco can follow in the footsteps of Zinedine Zidane, Michel Platini, Alessandro Del Piero and Roberto Baggio, thus establishing himself as a Bianconeri legend.

Giovinco has been the star of the show for Italy at the Olympics and many tip the Juventus starlet to go on and become one of the greatest players in football.

Furino, who made over 360 appearances for the club during the 1970’s and 80’s, believes the 21-year-old can emulate players of the great Juve teams of the past such as Zidane and Platini.

Furino told Tuttosport: “Giovinco is the number 10 of the future. Sebastian can and has the right to succeed people like Platini, Baggio, Zidane and Del Piero.

“I have seen Giovinco play at the Olympics and he is unstoppable. People fear him and this means he is strong and it’s a great sign.

“Giovinco has the qualities to relive the times of the great Juve number 10s, because he plays like them and he has the talent.

“I really hope he gets a call up from Marcello Lippi when he returns from the Olympics. [Lippi] should take Giovinco to the senior side.”

A Number of top teams have been trying to prize the Juve man away from Turin. Palermo tried to take him as part of the Amauri deal but the Bianconeri played hardball.

Reports in Italy suggest Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has shown an interest, but it’s unlikely that the Old Lady will allow Giovinco to leave.

Camo: We need a decade
Tuesday 12 August, 2008
Juventus midfielder Mauro Camoranesi concedes that it will take at least 10 years to recreate Fabio Capello’s Bianconeri.

The Old Lady exceeded expectations last season to secure third place in their first campaign back in Serie A after the Calciopoli scandal.

And while there are high hopes ahead of the start of Juve’s Champions League campaign, Camoranesi is cautious.

“Capello’s side had more quality,” the Argentine-born winger told La Stampa.

“It will take at least 10 years to get to that level if the club continues to move at this speed.”

Juve begin their Champions League campaign against Slovak side Artmedia Bratislava on Wednesday evening.

“The Champions League is an important objective for us because we have been out of Europe for two years,” Camo said.

“We are all looking forward to it. We are reaching the end of the journey we started in Serie B.


“It is impossible to make any predictions now. It all depends on how the games go.

“I really hope I can play in another Champions League Final, but this time I really want to win it.”

Camoranesi concluded by stressing his belief that Inter remain strong favourites to retain the Scudetto.

“The League is different to Europe,” he said. “Anything can happen but we aren’t any closer or further away from Inter than we were last term.

“Inter are much stronger than last year, They have lots of players with plenty of quality.”

CL: Alex inspires four-star Juve
Wednesday 13 August, 2008
Juventus crushed Artmedia 4-0 in the Champions League preliminary round with Mauro Camoranesi, Giorgio Chiellini, Nicola Legrottaglie and an Alex Del Piero screamer.

The Bianconeri had not played in this competition for two years, but were back after the Calciopoli scandal and a period in Serie B. The first leg was in Turin, but Juve played with their gold away strip.

Claudio Ranieri put his faith firmly in the old guard, as Christian Poulsen was the only new boy in the starting XI. Pavel Nedved was suspended, while Cristiano Zanetti and Marco Marchionni are injured, Sebastian Giovinco and Claudio Marchisio on Olympic duty. Fuelling reports he is to be sold over the next fortnight, Tiago Mendes was not even on the bench. It was an historic moment for Gianluigi Buffon, playing his 500th official match in club competition.

It took seven minutes for Juventus to break the deadlock after stringing together a series of corner kicks. Mauro Camoranesi started the swift passing move that sent Zdenek Grygera clear, but when the defender lost his footing, Camoranesi was ready for the powerful strike from 10 yards at the near post.

Ranieri was forced into a change, as Urbanek accidentally clattered into Grygera - who was his teammate and friend at Under-21 level - and the Juventus man was stretchered off. In a curious tactical decision, Vincenzo Iaquinta came on, moving Salihamidzic to defence.

Nedved given all-clear
Friday 22 August, 2008
Juventus breathe a sigh of relief after learning Pavel Nedved will be fit for the Champions League encounter with Artmedia.

The Czech caused worried scenes when he limped off during the Trofeo Moretti match with Milan last night.

Tests have now confirmed it is only a bruise on his left calf and Nedved will therefore be available for selection next week in Bratislava.


He had missed the first leg, which Juve won 4-0 in Turin, due to a ban and was eager to make his Champions League comeback after two years.

Alessandro Del Piero and Vincenzo Iaquinta are also recovering well from minor knocks, while Mauro Camoranesi is ready after missing Italy’s 2-2 friendly draw with Austria on Wednesday.

Marco Marchionni and Cristiano Zanetti are certain to miss out with thigh strains.

Tuesday 26 August, 2008
Amauri fought back from a sensational Artmedia opener to send Juventus back into the Champions League, 5-1 on aggregate.

The Bianconeri already had a foot in the group phase after their 4-0 first leg victory, but didn't want to rest on their laurels in Slovakia. Giorgio Chiellini, Cristiano Zanetti and Marco Marchionni were out injured, but Pavel Nedved returned from suspension.

Claudio Ranieri had fielded only one new signing in the starting XI in Turin, but bumped that up to four in Bratislava, including a revitalised central midfield pairing of Christian Poulsen and Claudio Marchisio.


Nedved was a doubt with a calf problem, but was in good shape and struck the side-netting with an angled drive 11 minutes in, while Nicola Legrottaglie nodded a Mauro Camoranesi free kick over.

However, it was Artmedia who broke the deadlock with a splendid strike. A Kozak cross came in from the right for Fodrek's fantastic acrobatic scissor-kick volley from eight yards that whipped past Gigi Buffon at the near post.

Juventus should've equalised moments later, but Amauri's header into the ground from Christian Molinaro's cross was denied by the far upright with the goalkeeper well beaten. Vincenzo Iaquinta also went very close when springing the offside trap, but a deflection aided the goalkeeper in making a save.
