Juventus Thread

We won, but again the performance was shite. Agnelli was spot on when he said our 'scorelines are more impressive than our style of play'.
Forza Lazio for tonight, bury that Milan scum.
 
Well i had more respect for milan untill ancelotti came and messed things up. still milan win because of their players not because the tactics that ancelotti puts. he did coach juve and because of his foolish tactics we had lost 7-0 to celta :l
 
Unfortunately yes, you are in very good form right now. Shame I can't say that about us. It's not over till it's over though....
 
River Plate are keen to agree terms with Juventus in a bid to complete the signing of Marcelo Salas.

The Chilean international is currently on loan with the Argentine side and is set to return to Turin in the summer.

However, the South American outfit are hoping to keep ‘El Matador’ once his loan spell expires.

"Our idea is that he could remain," River Plate President Mario Israel is quoted as saying. "I’ll look to take advantage of our good relationship with Juve in order to do that."

Salas has recently returned to action in Argentina after a two-month injury lay-off by scoring on Sunday.

The 30-year-old doesn’t seem to figure in Juve’s plans anymore seeing as their forward options now include David Trezeguet, Alex Del Piero, Marco Di Vaio and Fabrizio Miccoli.

The Bianconeri signed Salas in 2001 for £12m from Lazio. However, his maiden Turin term saw him rupture knee ligaments that severely affected his Juve career.

Salas is currently in his second spell with River after two splendid seasons there in the 1990s, where he scored 24 goals in 53 League games.

Farewell El matador :salute:
 
He was a great player but it's better for him to stay in River because juve does not need him anymore. His deal wasn't successful with juve because of inguries. Damn injury!! we could've got great things with him. What a pitty.
 
I remember watching Chile -England a few years back when people eg english did not know who he was, He made Sol campbell look like an idiot and scored and played outstanding in the WC98 longside the warrior Zamorano, I predicted big things for Salas and it was a shame he could not help us up front as he was plagued by injuries, i'm happy for him nevertheless as he seems to be enjoying his football at River who made him who he was.
 
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has admitted that he is likely to leave Ajax for an Italian club in the summer.

The highly rated Swedish international has been linked with a variety of sides and a switch seems imminent.

"I will say goodbye to Ajax at the end of the season," said the 22-year-old. "This club is just a stepping stone for me in my career.

"I would love to play in Spain or Italy where football is not just a sport but a part of everyday life."

The striker also admitted that he had recently spoken to two of his former Ajax teammates about his future.

"Both Andy Van der Meyde (Inter) and Cristian Chivu (Roma) tell me that football in Italy is the exact opposite of Holland," he added. "That will suit me as I am passionate about this game."

Ibrahimovic has been talked about as a possible target for Juventus and he seems to be a big fan of the Bianconeri.

"I would say that Juventus are favourites to win the Champions’ League this term," he continued.

"They are a very disciplined side who always fight until the end. In other words, an ideal club for me."

A switch to the Delle Alpi could become reality if David Trezeguet fails to agree a new contract. That would inevitably lead to a sale as his present deal ends in 2005.
 
Well, hmmm Ibrahimovic is a post player he can do many things in the penalty area but i think trez is better, he has the same potential and ability that ibrahimovic has, and more.
 
Juventus may drop Alex Del Piero for the Brescia tie with the crucial Deportivo La Coruna clash on the horizon.

The Bianconeri face the Lombard outfit at the weekend but Del Piero might not feature with the Champions’ League match set for Tuesday.

Juventus lost 1-0 in Spain last week and boss Marcello Lippi today tried out the Marco Di Vaio and Fabrizio Miccoli offensive partnership in training.

The two men played alongside each other in a practice game while Del Piero, Alessandro Birindelli and Gianluca Zambrotta all trained separately.

Whispers out of Turin also claim that Zambrotta won’t start on Saturday in a bid to have him fully fit against the Spaniards.

Pavel Nedved will start in midfield after he returned to training yesterday. There were doubts over his use as he was absent from Tuesday’s session.
 
Will the Sunday match be another Inter match?? 3-1.... :) All 3 goals by Roby!!!!!!!!!!
 
Pavel Nedved won’t be displaying his skills at Stamford Bridge next season after he committed himself to Juventus.

The Czech international’s future has been the subject of speculation recently that had suggested a summer move to Chelsea may occur.

Whispers claimed that the Italian champions were set to sacrifice the European Footballer of the Year if a substantial bid was tabled.

Yet the 31-year-old has insisted that he will keep on playing football in Turin until his contract expires in 2006.

"I have embraced the Juventus mentality and this club is in my bones," he said. "I wouldn’t change teams even if I was forced to.

"I won’t be leaving Juventus and I firmly believe that the club have no intention of selling me either."

Nedved is keen to keep winning with the Old Lady and is also adamant that he is physically up to the job.

"I’m in good shape and I don’t really understand why people are so concerned about my fitness," he said.

"Playing football gives me a great feeling of joy. If I had my way I would have a ball with me all day long."

There were doubts over Nedved’s physical condition after he was absent from Tuesday’s training session.

However, he was back in Turin on Wednesday and has trained since. He should feature at the weekend against Brescia after missing the Ancona tie with suspension.
 
ADP will be rested for the game today but I'm sure he will be on the bench just in case we need rescuing. ;)
