Grosso ready move to juventus

News in France are claiming that Fabio Grosso will leave Lyon for a return to Italian football with Juventus.

The defender has been strongly associated with the Old Lady in recent weeks after it became clear that a new left-back was a transfer objective for the club.

A two-horse race developed between Grosso and fellow Azzurri international Andrea Dossena and it looks like the 2006 World Cup winner has pipped the Liverpool man at the post.Sources in France claim that the move is inevitable, even if they don’t confirm Italian whispers that Mauro Camoranesi could be part of the deal.

The Argentine-born winger has been a long-term target of Lyon and his Juve future is in doubt after a couple of disappointing campaigns affected by injury.

Diego want to make lots of goals

New Player of Juve Diego Ribas has revealed he will be officially unveiled as a Juventus player in July and intends to score lots of goals next season. The 24-year-old former Santos youngster left Werder Bremen last month and put pen to paper on five-year deal with the Bianconeri.

“Soon I will speak Italian and I will repay everyone with goals and victories,” Diego explained.

“I did my job at Werder and I will continue to do it at Juventus. I will prepare myself as best as I can to grow from a tactical point of view.

“The objectives are to win and score lots of goals. In this way I can get back into the national team.

“My last game with Brazil was a 0-0 draw against Bolivia on September 10, 2008 at the Maracana. In a recent friendly against Portugal I didn't get on the pitch.”

When asked about his time in Germany, Diego said: “They were three wonderful years. I learned a lot. I put maturity together with titles.

“I received the affection of the Werder fans, whom I showed good football. I left them with the German Cup, a happy moment.”

Diego then went on to describe how Juventus went about trying to buy him.

“It was a long courtship. We made contact on various occasions, so everything was well defined. Things happen at the right moment,” he insisted.

“I am happy and excited. To have said goodbye to Germany with a trophy was positive. Now I am confident I will be able to show my football in a competitive championship like Serie A.

“I know that at the beginning I will have to adapt, but I have also received the support of the club. I will overcome any obstacles and repay Juventus in goals and victories for the trust they have given me.

“I have dual nationality, but I still do not speak Italian. I understand almost everything, but I am still not ready to speak in public. I will learn it soon.

“From Portuguese, Italian is easier to learn with respect to German. The club will officially unveil me at the beginning of July,” he concluded.

Diego is widely regarded as one of the most talented players in Europe. He managed to score 38 goals in 84 appearances for Werder.

U21: Juve youngster bring Four-star Azzurrini to the top

Pierluigi Casiraghi’s Azzurrini got ready for the European Championships by thumping Denmark 4-0 in a friendly.The Italy Under-21 squad made short work of their Danish hosts in Farum, which bodes well for Tuesday’s tournament opener against Serbia. The team includes three bianconeri: Giovinco, Marchisio and De Ceglie who after the tournament will end their adventure with the Under 21 squad.Mario Balotelli took just 13 minutes to break the deadlock with one of the Inter hitman’s trademark fierce free kicks.Denmark had only one real scoring opportunity neutralised by Atalanta goalkeeper Andrea Consigli.

The trident attack of Balotelli, Robert Acquafresca and Sebastian Giovinco had only been tested once before this game, but already seems to be gelling.
Cagliari striker Acquafresca was quick to react when Balotelli’s shot was parried by the Danish ‘keeper and double Italy’s lead.
Casiraghi switched to a 4-4-2 system for the second half and made numerous substitutions, but they also proved effective.Daniele Dessena had been on the field for only two minutes when he ran on to Giovinco’s through ball and cheekily chipped the goalkeeper.

Bari man Andrea Ranocchia, who helped his club to promotion this season, scored the fourth in this rout late on.The Danish ‘keeper fumbled a corner kick and Ranocchia was ready to tap in the loose ball from six yards.
