Juventus are in Sydney to face an A-League All stars side that includes former club legend, Alessandro Del Piero.
You can follow the game live via Juveβs official Youtube stream which will have full coverage of the match: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBoWdv-UFZo
The expected line-ups are as follows:
Β
First – hahaha – I win all day long
Second as well π – Anyway, Del Piero gave an interview to TS and GDS – Here is the best part:
Assistent coach, coach, director, PRESIDENT. You’re welcome in any position Alex..
How about on top? π
Sigh
I will seize third place then, as to not give our brave Mod everything! xD
I would love to see Del Piero welcomed by Juve fans again, I still have his jersey in my room, score some goals Alex!
Good morning Juventus Family (I.e Belgian and Rav)!!!!
Morning bud – Enjoy the game
Good morning mate!
Good morning to you too
Nope, you have to be here earlier. Sorry you missed out π
π I would have given so much to get a good morning from you.
Many people would too, but they fail. Only the special ones succeed, but you have potential young Dutch
That is good to hear. Maybe one day i will be special like Belgian and Rav.
Stream for the game anyone??

Australia All Stars 1-0
Trailing yet again to an inferior team, sigh
Llorente makes it 1-1
Del Piero coming off, standing ovation for the king!
Damn. No reason for me to watch anymore then. Just woke up -_-
And they are up again :DD If pre season really means alot, we will play in Serie B next season. Atleast there we can be champions. Always look on the bright side π
A-League GK wasting time in a friendly. What a sad guy.
POGBOOOOM
PEPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Pepe 3-2!!!!!!!!
A God amongst men. Alessandro Del Piero β₯
Pure class
Didn’t watch the game π
Who gave the assist for the Pepe goal though? Was it Coman? Can’t find a clear video.
Giovinco had hos shot blocked, it fell kindly for Pepe to finish on the volley. Coman didn’t play.
Coman did play
Oops my mistake
Pardon me for my negativity.
I have some worries like Romulo didn’t even make the bench, Bonucci made a silly mistake, and poor performance on the 1st half.
But, all of that are nothing compared to this picture
There is a chance he will leave Juventus, sure there is, but this incident is completely out of context. What do people expect him to tell the fan “no, i wont sign this”. God knows when these fans will see Juventus in Australia again and you expect the players to say “no” them. There are alot of Manchester United fans in Chile as well. You think they don’t love Vidal. You think he wouldn’t sign another clubs shirt for them? Any player would. However Vidal in particular is known for going out of the way for fans.
You may validate some news that said Vidal rejected to sign Man. City jersey at the same session. Luckily, it was Man U jersey not In**r jersey. If that happen whatever the context, where ever the fans come from, I’ll be furious. Anyway, I’m convinced he’ll stay another year, but have doubt over next year. I think it will depend on many factors, mainly Juve’s prospect to win UCL and Vidal’s willingness continuing to play in Serie-A.
Bro, if someone comes to vidal with an inter jersey and he doesnt sign it he will be labelled as an asshole.
Our pre season has gone perfectly so far i think. It has highlighted how important Vidal is to the stability of our team and our ability to mark and defend effectively. Management must realize he just cant leave.
the only good things ive been seeing this preseason is pepe good form which i actually think he can be useful to this team, Coman has been impressing me and Llorentes gonna be an important player this year. Same with giovinco, i think allegri plans on using him much more then conte did. Other then that our defence sucks we need to get rid of ogbonna
Pepe needs to go too. I like him but he’s simply not good enough for us
I would give Pepe a chance.
he’s done well in preseason but look at the type of teams he’s playing against. also, he’s been injured for 2 years. not worth the risk of keeping him. hopefully we can make a couple mil off of him.
He has done what most of our players didnt do. We should give him a chance.
If we keep Padoin, we keep Pepe!
He is a very hard worker and we need someone like him on the club
Ogbonna is terrible. Cant believe we wasted 15mil on him. He really needs to be sold
He’s learning. I think he still can be a great defender, but he does need to play more and chiellini is a much better choice.
learning? he’s 26. he isn’t some youngster. he needs to go and be replaced by a youngster like nastasic
He has the physique and technique. He needs more experience. Barzagli was not very good until he come to juve at 31 years old. He’s a top class cb now.
barzagli was actually pretty good at palermo. good enough to get called to the national team for the world cup in 2006. he was also great in his first season at wolfsburg and was a major player in their run to the title. after that he started struggling and he had 6 months left on his contract and wanted out and we were able to get him on the cheap.
Yes but he was never as good as he is. Ogbonna will become a good defender if he plays. Juve just don’t have the ability to play him much. So he should be sold.
barzagli never played alongside chiellini or a player of chiellini’s level before juve. ogbonna was terrible for torino in serie a and has been terrible for us too. we need to cut or losses. hopefully we can still get 10mil for him
With how Obgonna has been performing and Marottas shit ability to sell, i doubt we ll get half of what we paid for him.
Ogbonna was good at Torino, good enough to be called up to the national team too
ogbonna is overrated and looks like a black ninja turtle.
The ninja turtles all look black these days..
you mean the ninja turtles all look like ogbonna these days..
No
dont be upset that your favorite player is a mid twenties mutant ninja turtle.
Inspiration for the new ninja mutant ninja turtles, get it right.
He was good in serie b and prandelli called him up. Thats when he really burst on to the scene since he was a serie b player getting called up to the NT. He got a couple call ups in serie a for us but that was because barzagli was injured
So we should sell him untill he’s 31.
I dont care if he stays or leaves, but uf he stays, he needs to watch films of the greatest defenders and watch how they go in with everything. Obgonna is too much of a softy and needs to be more aggressive. He has long legs and is fast, he needs to learn to put those attributes to use.
Just because hes 26 doesnt mean hes not learning. Im not defending, but you dont stop learning the more you age.
People treat him like some young talent filled with potential. Thats not the case
It’s because of his babyface.
Very wrong statement… he is one of the best young defenders playing right now
If we can recoup 2/3 of his value right now I would sell him, If not I would give him his last chance this season and evaluate him in may.
pogbaΒ΄s goal reminds me vidalΒ΄s first goal for juve against parma in 4:1 win
Wow.. Pepe again..
Ibra says he doesn’t know and has never met the guy who said he wants to return to Juve. I looked it up and the guys name is Stefan Hansson, he was the head coach at Malmo FF in 1996/97, the club where Ibra played in the first team in 1999. However Ibra was in the youth system of Malmo before that, i figure that includes 1996/97, so either he’s lying or he didn’t know the first teams coach of the club he was at.
interesting dude,what’s behind this then?
Hansson Claims he hasn’t spoken to Zlatan in 8 years. Speaking on this story to SportExpressen.se :
βThe Italian from Tuttosport I spoke to has distorted the whole story, that we have been talking on Skype and that I have the answers to things surrounding his (Ibrahimovic’s) future.
βHe is now in Paris and he has a good contract. Zlatan is Zlatan and he runs his own race. Zlatan and I spoke to each other eight or nine years ago….”
βI have met him three or four times. I know his family a bit and I have coached him but, nothing more than that. It is deplorable that it has taken on these kinds of proportions when they find out what I have said.”
Well wow. I know the media likes to make stories bigger than they are, but saying Hansson spoke to Zlatan over his future, while in reality he hasn’t talked to him for 8 years, pretty ridiculous. I will not believe any rumours of Vidal to United untill it’s official now.
>Ogbonna 13Mβ¬
>Isla 16Mβ¬
>Morata 20Mβ¬
>we dont have funds for Alexis
Tavecchio is elected FIGC president.
Excellent day for ITalian football – Racist sexist elected as president.
There was another guy going for it, Albertini i think. I prefered him after i read what he said. Like you say, excellent day.
Thanks Lazio and serie b clubs…
And i***r
Italian football always a step behind unfortunately
so it turned out tuttosport weren’t making stuff up for once. they got a recording of hansson saying he talked to ibra and that ibra wanted juve. when cornered, hansson said that the media twisted his words but in the recording he clearly says he talked to ibra, ibra said he wanted juve and the journalists asked him multiple times ‘ibra said that?’ and hansson said yes lol
hmmmmmm this is turning out crazier every day.
Until Zlatan joins us back I dont care what either of them said.
Happy Birthday Allegri!!!
Merry Christmas Philip!
Thanks! π Happy new year Mr Juveprodigy101…
Juve going back again at Cruzerio’s Dede for 15M..
Juve on a close door match on Wednesday?
https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/juventus-set-to-play-newcastle-jets-behind-closed-doors-at-kogarah-jubilee-oval-20140812-102yl5.html
Why behind closed doors?
Yeah. Buy Dede for 15 when you can have DΓ³ria for 7.5.
FFS
Just hypothetical here, if you were in charge and vidal was sold, what moves would you make? Personally id go and sign reus and Rodriguez. Yea thatd cost a bit more than what we would get for vidal but still affordable for us. We could move asamoah to cm and Rodriguez could take LB/LWB
Honestly, I’d just sign Messi or Ronaldo. I’d be pretty happy with either one
Good idea
Thanks toothpick!
Pretty much the same, Rodriguez + Shaqiri/Reus
But still prefer our own Vidal
Antei Allan Rodriguez/coentrao and keep some money for the winter market. I’d like to see asamoah play lb first though, might not need to buy one.
I would go for Isco my first target.
I would resign
Rodriguez and Shaqiri or Jovetic. Reus would never choose Juve in my opnion, he has ‘better’ options. And if Jovetic keeps up this level of play he would never consider Juve either. Allan would be a good and kinda cheap replacement for Vidal’s position.
Verratti, balotelli and de sciglio.. Ooor hummels, balo and a decent (but not top draw) back up CM
I don’t think Vidal is a loyal club member and I think that Coman would be an excellent replacement . Comment if u agree!
Suck it.
Your not as cool as your name suggests… Piece of shit
Suck it.
Who is this guy?
apparently me or dutch
Hahaha xD Maybe we share the account.
That’s a stupid question… I’m a proud juventino
Just ignore it mate
What’s happenin party people are we all excited for the new era of Juventus?
Been a while man, good to see you back…haha yeah, everyone is asleep or busy at this time of day wherever they are. Usually most of the discussion goes on at night dude. I don’t know if excited is the word I’d use to sum up the atmosphere here on the site lately.
We’re really concerned about our new management and the future of Vidal at the moment. If he stays it will be great i am sure we’ll be sort of up beat about thing around the Juventus stadium. If he is sold it would suck (alot) but we will have more money to invest in new players so I’m sure there will be a degree of excitement in the event of that situation too.
So I’m pretty sure we will all be excited one way or another pretty soon, but as long as we are left hanging on the situation, I’m afraid we most definitely, are not.
I know i’ve been busy smuggling drugs and killing hookers on gta obviously ha, yeah i’m getting sick of all the transfer nonsense i just hope we can keep him or at least sell him to someone other than united I’d never hear the end of it if he joined them, I’m not that fussed with Allegri as long as we can keep our top players we will still have the best squad in the league and who knows he might find the right setup for europe he might also have us midd table by the winter break but fuck it until then keep the faith. Fino alla fine forza JUVENTUSSS
I read the first part of the first sentence and was proud of you, then i got to “gta obviously” and lost respect. Smuggling drugs and killing hookers is a lucrative business these days…. so im told.
Gotta cover my back somehow, people can get very angry when you kill a hooker, i don’t know if you are aware but they don’t quite work as well when there dead.
Who said they dont work well when theyre dead?
Just not as well
2 news stories I read today:
1.Storari to Sassuolo, with either Stefano Sorrentino or Cristian Abbiati as replacements.
2. Vidal to United for 48mil plus Javier Hernandez and one other player.
Why would we sell Storari and get Abbiati? Atleast Storari never complains about being 2nd choice. I’d like to keep Storari unless he wants to go and if he wants to go we should promote Rubinho to 2nd choice.
I think Storari wants to play more before he retires. He deserves it.
But i dont want Rubinho to get promoted, his unibrow is gross :p
Storari should stay with us since this is most likely his last season as a professional footballer, and it’s better to end your career with a big team rather than have a troublesome final season with a relegation battling team. Best to end on a high note IMO.
When youre a professional, you want to play.
But you also want to win.
If you don’t play, you don’t win.
He won 3 Scudetti mostly on the bench. And plus he’s 37, that’s no age to be playing on an inferior side that has a shaky defense. He should just stay here, play once in a while, win the title, and retire.
He may have them but he hasn’t won them. I fail to see how his age means anything, if his age is going to stop him being a capable goalkeeper then we should get rid of him anyway. As a fan of storari I think he should leave, go out as more than a benchwarmer.
Time will tell what Storari wants, whether he is content with the bench or if he wants to be first choice some place else.
Any new goalkeeper we get, no matter who he might be should never even try to say that he wants to play as 1st choice as long Gigi is wearing the Juve shirt.
That only happens in Real Madrid.
read that too about Vidal, but I think we could only get 1 world class player with that money so fuck it. If we could get Jovetic and Shaqiri I wouldn’t be to disappointed but knowing our board I doubt we could pull it off.
I wonder who the other player is? If its Nani, no way.
My guess is either him or Chi Chi s(Chicharito).
48m + chicharito + the good twin (rafael or fabio). that is the offer i would put on the table, if vidal has said he wants to leave.
Make that Hernandez + Januzaj. Haha. I would love to strip United for another super talent!
Getting Januzaj out of the deal would be great for us but I don’t see Utd being that stupid
Well then.. No Vidal for them.. Shame
Too bad Januzaj had one good season in England… now he must be worth 50m.
Well to be fair, pogba was worth about that after one good season in serie a
Sorrentino okay-ish,but Abbiati no ty, prefer Storari then
Storari is possibly the best backup goalkeeper. I absolutely love that guy and would hate to see him leave!
Unless he himself wants to get some more playing time I dont see a need to replace him with another old GK.
He’s been prone to mistakes over the years, he’s cost us an Italian cup too.. I think both the rumoured replacements would be as good if not better
same. i like the guy but he’s become more of a liability.
I like Storari too, he saved our asses so many times.
Confirmed. Juventus will play on a closed door match later.

Rumor: Vidal to Man U for 40M pound, Chicharito, Fallaini
Would be quite the gamble in my opinion. Unless we manage to pickup someone like Di Maria, Falcao, etc. after the trade.
Id take that deal, if Vidal is trying to leave that is. Thats a 65m pound deal, which is 80m+ euro. Thats way legit. Chicharito is a lethal poacher, Fellaini is a gamble though, but really, he only had 1 bad season so far in his career, and it was a transitional period for a huge team.
Yeah to be fair prior to united every time I watched fellaini he was sublime, if he recovers his form he would be an ample replacement for Vidal added to that the cash we could spend elsewhere, I’d accept that deal.. But still I’d prefer keep Vidal (obviously)
Happy Birthday Chiellini!!!!!
Looks like Conte is the new Italy Coach. Good, that means no more Montolivo starting, which means no more stupid losses/draws. Also, look for Balotelli to finally pull his head out of his ass.
Apparently we have a deal for Luisao… Idk why we need him, hes old and Ive never rated him that highly. Next Lucio if he comes.
Apparently we are ready to offer Gio + cash for Guarin. I still have no understanding as to why the club wants to throw away 15m+ on someone like Guarin who isnt that good and wont really develop that much more. We need Allan from Udinese, I wish I could meet Beppe and tell him that, Allan has a future and will continue to get better. Guarin will not.
I you have time, this is a good read:

Good Article……especially the part about the timing and Marotta.
I only read the carlo garganese articles at goal.com
