Only three Serie A games left for the season and the Coppa Italia match as we attempt for a fourth straight calcio double. Both trophies could possibly be won at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome within a four day span. If so, it will be a hell of a celebration on the final day at Allianz Stadium. Forza Juventus! Fino alla fine! Serie A 5 May - Bologna 13 May - at Roma 20 May - Verona Coppa Italia 9 May - Milan
Pjanic sits out Saturday against Bologna for his accumulation of yellow cards. Allegri was given a warning for his send off after coming onto the pitch to tell Higuain and Dybala to stop celebrating.
5 Maggio Too bad the two matches are not played simultaneously. De Laurentiis has spewed a lot of crap the last two days and seems to be setting his side for failure. I say celebration tomorrow.
We are on the verge of being at 91 points with 6 more to play. Yet, there is something missing this season. Dybala needs to become a real 10 next year. He has scored many goals this season but he needs to have the ball at his feet at all times. If he is going to reach that next level, that is what he needs to do.
Finally got around to watch it, Rugani lol. Cuadrado had the nice own goal there then had the cross to Costa that led to the third goal. Nice foul on Higuain there.
Are we finally getting a proper RB or is Cuadrado & MDS it for next season. I dont mind Cuadrado at all. Gives us extra fire power in attack
Saw the highlights since I work on saturdays. I’m disappointed by Buffon as of late. Also our backline has been unstable, 3-5 years ago it was the gold standard in the world, nowadays I am not sure. Douglas Costa has been a god send for this team, he has been on fire the last few weeks, he is getting use to this system, he makes everyone better around him, I don’t think after this year we keep the likes of Pjanic, Sandro, Higuain, Cuadrado. We could use better talent, the question is if Juve is going to go out there and buy some studs. Howedes so far has not been working out, the guy is consistently injured, I had high hopes for him, I think it’s time to ship him back. Barzagli is on his last leg, time to send him off to retirement. Chiellini has been a beast but the guy has been involved in some big collisions over the years, not sure how long he is going to last. Rugani is solid, but we need two more guys that are tough like Chiellini. Serie A is not the biggest challenge, CL is. I’d trade the last 2 scudetti for another chance at CL finals.
When Douglas Costa is on, he is unstoppable. That was as good a performance as I've seen from anyone this season. Hopefully, we can close this season out as champions ASAP because that first half was indicative of what we've seen multiple times this season. Changes need to be made at the end of the season. On a positive note, the signings this season have largely panned out. Douglas Costa has been on point. Matuidi was a steal for what we paid. Bernardeschi showed some signs of life before he got hurt; hopefully that trend continues. De Sciglio hasn't been the disaster many of us suspected. I'm hopeful that Marrotta has another good transfer market this summer and we come back better next season.
On my Facebook feed, a "memory" from six year ago was posted. It was a picture I posted of some of our guys celebrating the scudetto. In it, Vucinic, an old Del Piero, Quagliarella and Giaccherini. I love it when people try to compare the players that Conte had with those Allegri has.
More moaning about refs from Napoli who haven't even played yet. Even guys like Juve's Vialli don't know the new red card rules it seems. This is getting redic.
They just said RAI Juve's 91 points are the most during Max Allegri's reign.So much for him being on the way out. I think he deserves a statue for what he has done at Juventus since Antonio Conte's departure. Chances they will lose the scudetto are almost minimal but even if they did manage to lose it, what he has done is historical. I'm sure anyone in Italy wishes they had his winning record.
Well technically we are champions unless something drastic happens. We have to lose both games, and Napoli must win the rest of the games, and a drastic goal difference must change. Its safe to say we have won the Scudetto!!!
