I Love Juventus

Italy’s recent 2018 FIFA World Cup campaign has seen them struggling after losing 0-2 to Spain on September 2 and one month later having to settle with a surprising and underwhelming 1-1 draw against Macedonia.

The head coach of the Italian national football team, Gian Piero Ventura took some time to talk about his team after his squad could not collect more than 1 point after locking horns with the Macedonian national side and the 69 year old Italian tactician believes that injuries took a big toll on his team.

"We lost some players and lost a certain thread that we had in the first half, in my view. I thought the first half was positive, the second was not, but when you have nothing left in the tank, that's what you get. I think a lack of fitness levels made a big difference and when that drops, the sharpness goes, so we could not develop anything more. In football, when you don't propose anything in attack for an entire half, it can well be that you concede”

Bayern Munich president UliHoeness has launched an attack at Douglas Costa following his switch to Juventus earlier this summer.

The Brazil international joined the Old Lady on an initial €6m loan deal with an obligation to buy for €40m in a year's time.

Costa did not have a good understanding with manager Carlo Ancelotti last term and this was quite evident with the Italian opting to bench the attacker during different stages of the previous season. With limited opportunities in the lineup, the forward decided to pursue a fresh challenge in the Serie A, but his exit has not been taken well by Bayern's no.1

During the summer of 2001, Gianluigi Buffon marked his name in the history-books of football as the Italian shot-stopper became the most expensive goal-keeper ever.

Buffon was signed by Juventus for a transfer fee of €52 million.

This transfer was completed over 15 years ago and Buffon still continues to be the costliest player in his position.

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon had a night to forget at the Principality Stadium last night as Real Madrid put four goals past him in the Champions League final.

The Italy international lost his third Champions League final in the Old Lady shirt, and this may well be his last, unless the club make a similar European push next season.

Serie A side Juventus are keen on continental success after years upon years of local dominance.

Despite the additions during the summer and in almost every transfer window of recent, the Italian side want PSG playmaker Marco Verratti to join them when the next window opens up.

According to transfer rumors, Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez is turning into a priority summer target of Paris Saint-Germain as well as Juventus.

Both European clubs have the budget to sign a top player such as: Alexis Sanchez but it seems hard to believe that Arsene Wenger would be even interested in offloading one of his key players.

Juventus have rejected rumours that manager Massimiliano Allegri is in contact with Arsenal over the possibility of replacing Arsene Wenger in the summer.

The Italian has been identified as the potential replacement for Wenger, who will be leaving a major void at the club decides to end his tenure in the summer. Frenchman has been at Arsenal since 1996, but more importantly, he has shaped the club in his vision of clean and beautiful football. He was also a major factor in the construction of the 60,000 seater Emirates stadium, which has heralded the club into a new era.

Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has praised the impact of youngsterMoise Kean, as he came on to make a major difference in the 3-1 win over Sevilla in the Champions League.

Allegri brought on the 16-year-old with 10 minutes of time remaining in the game. Juventus had only managed to make the game 1-1 after having equalised through Claudio Marchisio in injury time of the first half. Pareja had earlier given Sevilla the lead after just nine minutes. Allegri had warned his team coming into the game that they can expect a very tough match from the Spanish outfit.

Chelsea coach Antonio Conte wouldn’t be happy with the news that Juventus are are set to extend the deal of Italy international Leonardo Bonucci.

The Italian coach is reportedly keen on linking up with his former player at Juventus and at the international level. They both worked together at the Turin-based outfit and Conte was the coach of the Italian national side that participated in the Euro 2016, leading the team to the quarter finals.

Juventus were narrowly able to win their match against Palermo on Saturday to maintain their one point lead over Napoli and stay on top of the Serie A league.

In order to achieve this feat, Juve needed an own goal from Edoardo Goldaniga who unfortunately deflected a strike from DaniAlves that found its way to the back of the Palermo side net in the second half period of the game.
