Sebastian Giovinco be a Star in Italy Under-21s

Sebastian Giovinco was on the scoresheet as Italy Under-21s continued their preparations for this summer’s European Championships with 1-1 friendly draw with Holland Under-21s in Kerkrade.

The Azzurrini were almost back to full strength after a younger outfit had drawn 2-2 with Austria last week. Sebastian Giovinco, Mario Balotelli and Robert Acquafresca forged a fearsome-looking trident, while Inter wonderkid Davide Santon made his Under-21 debut.

First Half

There was a rather uneventful start to the game, and it took until midway through the half for either side to register a shot on goal. Incredibly this resulted in a goal, as Holland right back Gianni Zuiverloon’s cross from the left was headed home by Siem De Jong, with goalkeeper Andrea Consigli left in no-man’s land.

It could have been 2-0 five minutes later as Urby Emanuelson slipped through Roy Beerens, but his first touch was heavy, allowing Consigli to come out and gather. Beerens wasted another opening soon after, as he blazed horribly over, following a lightning counter attack.

It took until the 35th minute for Italy to conjure up an effort, as Giovinco left his man for dead down the left, cut inside before unleashing a rocket that was brilliantly turned around the post by Piet Velthuizen.

There was controversy minutes later, as Giovinco cut past two men in the box, before going down under the challenge of Zuiverloon, but the referee turned away the penalty appeals.

Italy finally found the equaliser bang on half time. Balotelli’s free kick was charged down, and Giovinco’s snap-shot from the edge of the box nestled into the bottom corner of the net.

Second Half

Giovinco was the first to threaten in the second half, but he was unable to get a decisive touch at the neat post from Dessena's cross.

The Dutch made a whole host of substitutions, and one of those introduced, Kees Luijckx, whipped a free kick over the bar. Giovinco did the same down the other end.

Holland started to press more, with Luijckx, and another replacement Diego Biseswar, firing over.

Italy missed a golden chance to take the lead on 75 minutes, as Wisgerhof's poor header released Acquafresca through on goal, but the Cagliari hitman's finish was very disappointing.

Santon had impressed on his debut, and his vicious half-volley flashed wide. Giovinco then embarked on a mesmerising solo run, beating three players before being stopped by the last defender.

The game finished 1-1, in what probably proved to be a fair result. The standout players on the pitch were Emanuelson, Beerens, Marchisio and Giovinco.

Teams

Holland U-21: Velthuizen (Vermeer 46); Zuiverloon (Verhagen 66), Wielaert, Wisgerhof, Pieters; De Jong (Fer 46), Meeuwis, Emanuelson (Luijckx 59); Beerens (Biseswar 46), Van Wolfswinkel (Poepon 79); Elia (Amrabat 46)

Chelsea Make €8m Bid For David Trezeguet

Press rumours in the peninsula suggest that the Blues want to take ‘Trezegol’ to London. Juve will turn to Fabio Quagliarella.

Turin-based daily Tuttosport today claims that Premier League giants Chelsea are ready to make a formal offer in the region of €8 million to secure the services of Juventus striking star David Trezeguet.

It is suggested that the Old Lady want to get more money out of the deal, however, they are prepared to start negotiations with the London side.

Juve shelled out €28m to capture the 31-year-old Frenchman from Ligue 1 outfit Monaco in 2000. He has made over 200 appearances for the Turin powerhouse and has a contract until 2011, with wages of €4.8 per season.

Should the Corso Galileo Ferraris directors agree to let Trezeguet leave for England, Juve are likely to replace him with Udinese and Italy star Fabio Quagliarella.

The Neapolitan hitman has long been a target for the Old Lady, who are prepared to offer money and the services of striker Michele Paolucci. The 23-year-old is currently on loan at Catania but is co-owned by Juve and Udinese.


Oh No Don't Go Trezeguet

THE NEW THEATRE OF JUVENTUS

BIGGER STADIUM , EXCLUSIVE STADIUM , HIGH TECH STADIUM, CROWD STADIUM , ALL IN ONE IN THIS STADION

The stadium can host 40.200 onlookers and it’s been drawn up bearing maximum safety standards. The access, with no architectural barriers, will be through four entrances on corners, with wide ramps following the profile of the green hills on which the plant rises, leading to a ring turning around the stadium.
The ring will be a safe place, where entrance tickets can be easily checked out and where service and emergency transport means can stay. Access to steps and to stands will be through the 16 gangways distributed over the various sectors, hanging on spaces that once made the old stadium. At the end of events, for emergency cases, the plant can be emptied in less than 4 minutes.

The project expects to recover the whole Delle Alpi underground part, including the pitch zone. Below the steps there will be the stadium’s service areas and those for the team. The players’ needs, in particular, have been put at first place by planners: accesses to the plant, dressing rooms, relax areas, entrance to the pitch have been thought in minimum details.

In the upper part, with a profile of great lightness and essentiality – peculiar to the stylistic rigour that has always marked the club – will rise the stadium, with steps and boxes: all this put in a unique semicircle profile and without elements detaching from continuity line. The covering of glacis, projected in the Wind Tunnel, will be realized inspiring to airplanes wings: a structure with great lightness, realized with a partly transparent and partly matt membrane, to allow the best view of the pitch, during the day as well as during the night, while guaranteeing sufficient light passing through, to let the grass grow on the pitch. The covering has been projected also to keep the audience sounds inside the plant, making the supporters feel, if possible, and even more closer to the players.

The area dedicated to commercial area is of 34.000 square meters, on which will rise a shops gallery, a shopping center and DIY store. We foresee also 30.000 square meters of public parks, flowerbeds, squares and parking for 4.000 cars.

I would love for the new stadium to be named Stadio Degli Agnelli, but Juventus have already announced it will be named for a sponsor, for about 80million euros over 12 years. The closest seats are 24 feet from the pitch. 24 feet!! And the farthest seats are already closer to the pitch than the closest seats of the Delle Alpi, for comparison. A very intimate atmosphere.

According to Channel4, “behind the stands there will be eight restaurants, 24 bars, 459 Press seats and a ring of green space.” There are rumors they will be developing a hotel either onsite or nearby as well. NO running track, thank god, which supposedly the Italian councils demand in the new stadiums so they can be versatile. But instead of paying millions of euros per year to rent out the Olimpico, we will actually be in a stadium earning US money.

We are the only Serie A club in Italy to own our on stadium, and I’m thrilled to see the project come to fruition. The capacity will be about 42,000, obviously smaller than the Delle Alpi but as anti-Juventini love to point out, it was rarely full anyways (partially due to its awfulness, if you’ve ever been there particularly during the winter you’d know what I mean) and the new stadium’s seats will be much, much closer. Looks terrific. Pictures after the jump.

The project

Juventus’ new stadium was born from a deep team work.
Architects Hernando Suarez (Shesa Office) and Gino Zavanella (Gau office) are the plant planners; Engineers Francesco Ossola and Massimo Majowiecki, are responsible of structural planning, of operating planning and of work direction for structural part.
The team is composed also by Architect Antonio De la Pierre (planning coordination), by Engineer Marco Lazzerini (mechanical plants), by Engineer Renzo Zorzi (electric plants), and by Architects Eloy and Stefano Suarez (architectural planning). Project management is followed by AI Group of Turin, responsible of which is the President, Engineer Paolo Erbetta.
A basic contribution has been given by two very important names of Italian style, collaborating for the first time for giving life to an architectural project: Giugiaro Design and Pininfarina Extra. Juventus addressed to Fabrizio Giugiaro and to Paolo Pininfarina to add to his stadium a strong sign of design, to testify a Turinese excellence recognized all over the world, representing Italian creativity at its best.
Architect Alberto Rolla (Rolla Office) took care of commercial area and of town-planning insertion.

iaquinta be new hope for azzurri

Vincenzo Iaquinta would have no qualms operating as the main striker in Italy's World Cup qualifier in Montenegro, the Juventus player said on Thursday.

Iaquinta has often been used in a wide position by coach Marcello Lippi but injuries to Luca Toni and Alberto Gilardino mean the 29-year-old is almost certain to lead the line in Podgorica on Saturday.

He has played in that position in this week's training sessions with Udinese duo Antonio Di Natale and Fabio Quagliarella supporting him in a 4-3-3 formation.

"At Juve we play with two forwards. In the national team I have been used on the wing. If I play as the main striker I can equally create space," the former Udinese frontman told a news conference.

"I have never played with Italy from the start as the main striker but it's not a problem. At Udinese I did it for seven years and that is the position that suits me best."

Iaquinta, who scored twice in last weekend's 4-1 win at AS Roma, has not always been a regular for Juve but has played five games in a row after injuries to Amauri and David Trezeguet.

"If I'm fit I don't feel inferior to anybody. I am enjoying a really great spell. I am playing with continuity, I don't have physical problems and I am well psychologically," he said.

World champions Italy, who also host fellow Group Eight leaders Ireland in Bari on Wednesday, are missing injured players in each position.

Training sessions suggest Sampdoria's Angelo Palombo will play alongside Andrea Pirlo and Daniele De Rossi in midfield.

Juventus a protagonist at the stock exchange

March is another month dedicated to the stock exchange on the part of Juventus. The same as every year, a delegation from the club, made up of general manager Jean-Claude Blanc and the director of administration and finance Michele Bergero, took part in the Star Conference 2009, two days in which the stock market of Milan dedicates to those clubs in the stock market who form part of the STAR group.

The 8th edition was held at the historical Palazzo Mezzanotte in Milan and gave the opportunity to the Juventus directors to present to the public made up of investors the club’s situation with particular prominence given to the stadium project. If a year ago (the 6th of March to be exact), the conference was held just a few days after the go ahead by the board of directors, today Blanc was in a position to present the progress made: from the presentation of the project to this very day, including the demolition of the old stadium and the upcoming works for the construction of the new one.

Juventus Edge Closer "Fantantonio" Cassano

Press rumours suggest that Juve and Samp are about to reach an agreement over the transfer of ‘Fantantonio’.



According to Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, Juventus and Antonio Cassano will tie the knot next summer, with midfielder Sergio Almiron moving to Sampdoria in a part-exchange deal.
The recent meeting between John Elkann, the chairman of Juventus’ parent company IFIL, and Blucerchiati president Riccardo Garrone was reportedly the turning point in the discussions. Tuttosport suggests that the Old Lady will therefore keep hold of Sebastian Giovinco, who seemed to hold the key to the deal.

Sampdoria were said to be interested in the ‘Atomic Ant’ as a replacement for Cassano but Juve are unwilling to part company with their rising star, who has been in superb form of late.

And the Doriani would welcome the arrival of Argentine midfield man Almiron, who is expected to return to Turin at the end of the season after a disappointing loan stint at Fiorentina.

Next Match

Roma vs Juventus

The Bianconeri are keeping the Serie A title race still open. After the loss to Chelsea in the Champions League, Claudio Ranieri made some wholesale changes to the team for the Bologna game in Turin. For once, the Tinkerman's choices seemed to pay the right dividends as Juve stormed to a 4-1 win to keep the pressure up on Inter. A new and tougher challenge awaits the Bianconeri in Rome. Anything less than a win could see the Nerazzurri take a further leap towards the title.

Although Ranieri is well aware of the injury situation at Trigoria, he will not be taking anything for granted against Roma. The Giallorossi showed their mettle against Sampdoria, and thus an alert Juve will need to be present at the Olimpico this weekend. Following the recent spat with David Trezeguet, peace seems to have been reached between the Frenchman and his coach. The prolific striker missed out last week, perhaps as punishment for his rant against Ranieri. However, he has a good chance of featuring this weekend as the coach makes more changes.

Juve will be confident knowing they have not lost to the Giallorossi in the league for almost four years, but the Olimpico has not always been kind to them this season. Juve have lost and drawn there already this term, albeit against Roma's bitter rivals Lazio. Ranieri and his men will be hoping it's third time lucky in Rome this weekend. Nothing more than three points will be on the agenda, and it's time to show their mettle as we enter the business end of the season. Although the gap between second and first stands at seven points, the Scudetto lantern is still, just about, flickering for the Old Lady.


Pavel Nedved is back in contention for his side after missing out last week. Giorgio Chiellini is also likely to play following a nose break last week, but he will wear a protective mask to support him. Olof Mellberg is likely to keep his place ahead of Nicola Legrottaglie who has a problem to his left knee. Claudio Marchisio is still struggling with a knock, and he is unlikely to feature. There may be space for Tiago and Christian Poulsen in midfield. Mauro Camoranesi, Mohamed Sissoko, Cristian Zanetti, Amauri, Paolo De Ceglie and Alex Manninger are all out of contention with various problems.

juventus vs bologna 4 -1

Juventus: Buffon; Grygera, Chiellini, Mellberg, Molinaro; Tiago (Poulsen 46), Marchisio, Salihamidzic, Giovinco (Daud 88); Del Piero (Immobile 91), Iaquinta
Bologna: Antonioli; Zenoni, Britos, Terzi, Lanna; Bombardini (Osvaldo 74), Mudingayi, Mutarelli (Amoroso 52), Volpi, Valiani (Adailton 62); Di Vaio

Tonight young playmaker Giovinco was the best man on the pitch as Juventus came back to beat Bologna 4-1. The 22-year-old scored the second goal and gave the assist for Juve's first, and showed exactly why he is considered such a major talent with a number of great moves.

Following the match, he was asked by Sky interview if he thought this was his best performance in the black and white shirt, to which he responded: "Perhaps, because I've played three games in a row now and so I am starting to play with more continuity.

"Before I was lacking in match rhythm. If a player plays more, he can express himself better."

On whether he is happy he decided to stay at Juve instead of leaving in January, Giovinco said: "I had no doubts I would stay at Juventus, perhaps other people did. I believe in my potential and I am very happy.

"My favourite role? Everyone knows what my role is, the coach knows it, but I try to adapt to what he asks of me.

"It was fundamental to win and react to the elimination from the Champions League, and to get close to Inter. That's what we did."

Inter are currently four points ahead, but they have a game in hand, tomorrow night at San Siro against fourth-placed Fiorentina.

TORINO VS JUVENTUS 0 - 1

Torino vs juventus

It was time for the Turin derby tonight at the Stadio Olimpico. Juventus needed all three points to keep the Scudetto race somewhat alive, after Inter won their away match at Genoa earlier this afternoon.

Nevertheless, coach Claudio Ranieri played a second-string team, perhaps in view of the looming Champions League clash against Chelsea, with Amauri and Vincenzo Iaquinta in attack, while Pavel Nedved, Alessandro Del Piero, and David Trezeguet all started from the bench. Meanwhile, Torino had Roberto Stellone and Alessandro Rosina up front in a 4-4-2 formation.

First Half

Juventus started the game strongly, with ‘Atomic Ant’ Sebastian Giovinco looking dangerous in the opening stages. In the second minute, he cut inside from the wing and let go a shot from outside the area that was well grabbed by Matteo Sereni.

A minute later, the youngster found Iaquinta inside the area with a good pass, and the striker fired a dangerous shot that forced a magnificent save from Sereni.

The "home side," in this case Torino, responded in the seventh minute as Stellone blew a huge chance, heading the ball over the bar from a great position on a corner kick.

Five minutes after that, World Cup winning midfielder Simone Barone fired a dangerous shot from outside the area that had to be tipped over the bar by Gianluigi Buffon. It was an entertaining match with chances for both sides at this stage.

Barone made himself dangerous again six minutes later, forcing Buffon into another decent save with a header on a great cross by Marco Pisano.

A massive chance fell to Iaquinta in the 26th minute, as he seemed sure to score with a well-placed header toward the bottom corner, but somehow Sereni managed to keep it out with some miraculous reflexes.

The latter part of the first half was considerably slower, and the next chance didn’t come until the 41st minute, when Claudio Marchisio tried his luck from a similar distance from where he scored the winner last week against Napoli, but this time there was no lucky deflection and the ball was easily grabbed by Sereni.

That was the last chance of a decent first half from both sides, particularly in the opening half an hour.

Second Half

No changes were made during half-time by either coach. The second half continued in the same fashion as the second part of the first, both teams struggling to find any openings.

In the 47th minute, Amauri made himself dangerous as a latched on to a long pass inside the area, and fired the ball toward the near post, but Sereni was once again alert.

For about twenty minutes there were no chances of note, but in the 73rd minute Sereni had to perform heroics again to prevent Torino going behind. From a free-kick, defender Olof Mellberg headed the ball and Sereni managed to save it, but the real miracle came when the goalkeeper also denied Hasan Salihamidzic a seemingly certain goal on the rebound, tipping the ball onto the post.

Just when it seemed both sides were too tired to create any more chances, Juve opened the scoring in the 81st minute. Substitute Pavel Nedved sent in a free-kick from the left and Giorgio Chiellini headed the ball past Sereni, who got furious with his defenders for losing sight of Juve’s bulky centre-back.

Following this goal, the Bianconeri had no problems hanging on to their lead and secured a crucial victory that allows them to remain within seven points of Inter. Meanwhile, Torino are in 16th place with 24 points, but after tomorrow’s matches they may slip back into the relegation zone.
