What a performance to cap off a record breaking season. This was an easy win, Juve wrapped the game up within 25 minutes, and they had finished the scoring by the end of the first half. The rest was really just rubbing it in. Antonio Conte put in Rubinho, no really he did, and Cagliari only gave Juve a few scares.
Still it was clear the players – and Conte – wanted to break the 100 points barrier and that they did. 102, get used to that number because it’s the new Serie A record for most points in a season. Juve are now closer to the max amount of points a team can get -114 – than they are to Roma – who have 85 points. That’s a very impressive Serie A campaign, and nobody can take that away. Well, I guess the FIGC can, but presumably they won’t.
Now, let’s rate these guys one more time.
Buffon: 6. Best part of his day? Having his kids take PKs against him in the empty Stadium after all the festivities. Another great season for Gigi, let’s see if he wins another World Cup this summer.
Rubinho (54′): 6. He gets a six for finally making an appearance this summer. I wonder if Storari was upset that Rubinho got this appearance and not Storari.
Caceres: 6.5. He has really been solid this season. We now know we have a CB who can fill in perfectly for Barzagli. Plus he is faster. I expect to see Caceres starting at CB far more next season and into the future.
Bonucci: 6. Just like Caceres, he was solid. Took a cleat to the privates, which must have been a horrible experience.
Ogbonna: 7. Our best defender today. Probably not saying much as we faced Cagliari, but he had a rough go of it at times this season, so was nice to see him play well in his last game this season.
Lichtsteiner: 6. Lichtsteiner hasn’t been bad this season, but he has definitely been less than stellar at times. Perhaps the club should look at bringing in another right sided wide player? Or we can keep Isla and maybe one day he will get better?
Asamoah: 7. A good performance from a player who has been in fine form this season. Asamoah has solidified himself as a starting quality wing back, and he’s still a damn good midfielder too!
Pirlo: 7. The free kick wizard strikes again. In addition to his devastating free kicks, it’s nice that Juve have evolved from two years ago, when Pirlo was the engine of the attack. Now, they just need Pirlo to get the ball rolling, and the other guys can still build up attacks without needing a super pass from Pirlo.
Pepe (80′): s.v. Pepe is alive! Who knew?
Pogba: 7. Pogba was free to show off today, he had many nice passes and dribbling efforts. It’s interesting as Pogba has grown this season, and while still using his dribbling to beat defenders, he now also knows the importance of a good pass to a teammate.
Marchisio: 7. One of his finest matches of recent memory. Bagged a goal, was ten for ten in long ball passing, and put in his usual end to end running and defending. That last bit is the part of Marchisio’s game that is most often disregarded when folks call him “invisible.”
Tevez: 6.5. He had a few chances to get a goal today, but he either chose to dribble or took the shot and missed. Still worked tirelessly to better his team’s chances. A fine debut season for Tevez at Juve, and I look forward to him building upon it next season.
Llorente: 7.5. A goal and an assist for Llorente! He has had a few rough patches of form but he has had a very good season overall. A very important part of Juventus in my opinion, and I cannot wait to see him play a whole season without needing the first three months to shake off rust and get in form.
Osvaldo (60′): 5. Poor match, again. Aside from the games against Trabzonspor, and the goal against Roma, Osvaldo’s tenure with Juve has been entirely forgettable. And hopefully, it’s finished now.
First.
Milan’s new jerseys.. they are certainly original.
Amauri scores a crucial goal for Parma.
damn. i wanted milan in EL
I didn’t
better them than parma
I doubt that. Parma have a pretty good team and i think they might do well in the EL. Milan wont take EL seriously at all so they wont be any good for Italy.
Besides, if Berlusconi has the guts to sack Seedorf, i don’t want Milan to have anything untill the day Silvio dies. That fucking bastard..
i wanted Milan in Serie B 😛
Hahahahaha
It’s decided.
Fiorentina – Torino 2-1
Parma – Livorno 2-0
Milan – Sassuolo 2-0
Only if Torino can score twice in 10 minutes it will change.
Torino 2-2, it’s not done yet 😀
Wow. Cerci misses a penalty in the 93rd minute to get Torino into the EL.
LOL
I feel for him, he’s been amazing all season would’ve been a nice way to wrap it uo for him. That said im happier with Parma getting into Europe than them because I think ther team has more chance of holding together whereas torinos stars will be leaving
Yup. Parma has more a team of older players who play for them because that’s the highest they can get now. Torino has a lot more younger players.
Good to see that the kids enjoyed the ceremony 😀
dat ass
is that Pedro Obiang? eheh
Yep, and German Denis next to him hahahaha
They high fived all the players. Bet they would have loved to butt five the ladies.
reminds me of myself 😀
Yes, it reminded us of you too..
he would be asking all them ladies for their emails hahaha
i would be asking for their mobile numbers if they are near my area or country 😉
Haha 😀
He would stand there carrying a notebook and a pen to write them down XD
thanks 😀
black guys are all about dat ass. It is a part of their genetic makeup as this picture illustrates. I love the look of satisfaction on Obiang.
Booty is the way of life my friend.
i’m more of a breast man myself, but i can appreciate a nice seat cushion as well
Im more of a eyes and smile guy… Oh and lest i forget a beautiful soul is a super plus
Ewwww 😀
Yeah, right.
I do not lie
But you’re lying now…
Well youre fat!
It is a plus, but doesn´t count without a pretty face 😉
Im not gonna lie, thats true. Thats why i mentioned the eyes and the smile
i feel bad for Bologna
Same…
They brought it on themselves unfortunately
Boakye scored his 6th league goal today. He has 7 in all competitions for elche. Considering how poor elche are and that boakye is their top scorer despite being used as a sub, I think we should be able to sell our half for more than the 4mil we paid. Not a lot more, like 5mil max but id do it. The money from that+others like paquato, nocchi, etc could be enough to bring gabbiadini back
hoping for 3 more scudetto after this to smash the record of 5… nice job Juve!! Osvaldo u da man!!! 🙂
Im for that too!
Do we got that record?
serie A has a record of 5 straight scudettos.. Juve, Torino, and Inter (2 of them stolen from Juve)
So inter is not counted in that. They didn’t win those scudetti.
102 points b*tches!!
it’s rumoured that barca want llorente and pogba
i would be willing to sell llorente, although heavy heartedly in order to get alexis but no way in selling pogba
I read that Llorente has a marketvalue of 15m, that´s awesome since we got him for free. Also, selling him could pave the way for a younger striker like ciro immobile, ciro immobile, or ciro immobile. Maybe even Ciro Immobile!
yeah, it would be awesome but what if we don’t get immobile, (and i know most of you are gonna disagree with me), and get someone even younger, someone like keita from lazio, he looks promising, he wont be that expensive, and if we sell our half of immobile, we would have covered a large part of the sum, we could also ditch the lulic signing and do a swap + cash for keita
Oh sure, so while searching for proven goalscorers your idea is to sell 2 proven goalscorers and get someone who is totally unproven? You see the issue with that idea? Right? lol
Well, wed have alexis, tevez and probably habbiadini as it appears theyre bringing him back, so hed be able to mature…….get my jibe? Alexis is already proven in serie a, tevez needs no introduction.
None of them are true CFs like Llorente or immobile though
You got a point, bur still, i believe we can still do it without a true CF, at least 2/3 of the front line would be proven goalscorers
The vast majority of top teams have a true CF and we’ve had problems with being clinical so I don’t believe that we could go any further without one
Being clinical doesnt require a true cf in its own essence, a lroof of this is vidal, a midfielder who scores a lot of goals
Vidal scores a lot of goals but he’s not clinical, nor is tevez really
With that argument neither is llorente, many of his goals have been tap ins or headers
… Which is what you expect of a clinical striker.
Ut we dont operate with a stay in the box attacker, we operartte as 1whole unit which attacks and defenda as one, the type youre describing is the first type
Sorry what?
I think he means we dont use a target man striker tactic, we score as a unit and defend as one too… Which is false(the target man part) theres a reason why Conte was desperate for Llorente; he wanted a target man to be apart of his tactics. Obviously its not our main tactical plan, but Conte does use it.
llorente isn’t really a clinical striker though. his finishing is good but he’ll shoot right at the keeper too many times.
He’s the most clinical striker we have, by a pretty large margin
Barca can have Llorente, but only if Sanchez is moving the other way in a swap + cash deal. And, for me, that would solely rely on what happens to Immobile. If we sell Immobile, we cant sell Llorente, too.
Well, first of all, sanchez plua cash for llorente is completely absurd to think about, sanchez alone is more expensive than llorente.
Secondly, , immobile is definately leaving, sooooo yeah…..
i didnt say Sanchez + cash. Llorente + cash. obviously Sanchez costs more.
Ok sorry, but i understoos you incorrectly, i apologoze 🙂
You feeling alright?
I was in a hurry and read the message quickly and misunderstood it. My apologies
No i mean your spelling. plua, understoos, apologoze 😛
Hah, ic, as i said i was in a hurry and was on my mob so in the hurry i misspellt the words
I never really understoos him before, but I’m glad he apologoze. That was Noice of him.
Plua you also started talking like that. Pretty cool, huh 😀
Yos 🙂
For some reason, when i read his comments, the voice in my head that reads it is the same voice as that frog kid from the little rascals :p
Conte remains 😀
I see nothing official on the website
Its on their official tqittwr though and its not the first time thst they posted news on twitter before on their website
Awesome well hopefully we will have the transfer window he wants
Yeah, well apparently we can say hello and welcone to alexia now, evra apparently had his medical this weekend as well, tbe lulic deal …..it seems that were gonna be veey active thia timw round
Not really.. A deal still needs to be worked out to sign him. There is little actual evidence that the evra rumour is true and lord knows I hope it isn’t and I don’t see the point in us signing lulic
It appears that there is consent by barca and he wants to come, only the sum needs to be sorted out but i guess think theyre willing to pay something higher than our usual . On the other two, i too dont think we need them
Happy Birthday Pirlo!!
Legendary!!!! https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/soccer-dirty-tackle/andrea-pirlo-may-have-been-slightly-tipsy-during-juventus–bus-parade-152203391.html
“Normally, when a man with a huge beard and a baseball cap starts
throwing beer from the top of a bus it’s an angry hobo, but this time it
just happened to be one of the world’s greatest midfielders.”
hahaha
work hard.. party harder.. Pirlo deserved it.. Osvaldo!! 🙂
Man where the hell is everyone??
I’m here.
Ive got no idea. I thought my phone was acting up, but i guess not.
Were all over the place, different people in different articles
But theres like only 8 other comments in that Drogba thread and 1 in the Italy thread… Everyone has disappeared!
As long as me and you are here its all okay <3
And Dutch.. Just in case he shows up at some point and has a hissy fit :p
But we havent been around either!
I’m not just going to sit and talk to myself though!
I seriously want Di Maria…. I like him so much more than Sanchez. He’s literally the only player for Real tonight that’s playing well.
Oh and lol and Casillas’ mistake.
Same here. I hardly noticed Bale and Cristiano, but Di Maria was easily the best player on the pitch.
Where is everyone?
its the format .. no one knows where to post anymore because of the sliders up top … there’s comments spread out all ocer the articles, not just one.
Would people here still want to change to 433 if we don’t get Sanchez? Imo we need a star like him for it to work, plus then we need a decent left back…
If we dont get Sanchez, or a player of his quality, Id switch to a 4-3-1-2 for the CL. Put either Vidal or Pogba behind the forwards.
So of all the wingers were linked to, id be extremely pleased with Sanchez, Candreva and Gabbiandini, but my dream remains Berardi, Di Maria and any other quality winger
Keep your expectations low and you´ll never be disappointed 😉 Di maria won’t happen, he’s playing almost every game with Ancelotti. Sanchez and Candreva would indeed be a huge upgrade already!
If he’s part of a deal for pogba it could happen though and overall I think that would make for quite the upgrade to the team, plus we’d get a rather hefty cash injection too which could go towards a new midfielder
I would give madrid pogba and take di maria and marcelo and some cash
High or low, ill always be happy due to my optimism 🙂 but until the dying hours of the transfer market, i will stay hopeful and dream of Di Maria!
Then his gay dreams will return to some other guy
The nerve of some!
Gabbiadini isn’t really a winger. Apparently we are bringing back one of him or berardi for next season with gabbiadini in pole position but it depends on sampdoria
But hasnt he been used as a Lw lately?
Hes been playing as a right attacking mid for samp but he’s more suited to playing as a CF
