French Juventus

Interviewed at the microphones of Sky Sport Italia, Maurizio Scanavino spoke about both the start of the season made by Juventus, as well as the Paul Pogba case.

Maurizio Scanavino spoke to the microphones of Sky Sport yesterday to discuss the start of the Juventus season and in particular the draw against Cagliari. He also spoke about Paul Pogba, whose return to competition has been announced in the coming months.

« We are very satisfied, even if we regret the draw against Cagliari. We are at the start of a new path which has started very well, as confirmed by the list in the Champions League and the championship. I am happy to be close to the team, these are important and formative moments for me who have only been in football for two years, but I also think for everyone to give a sense of the group that we feel a lot this year (…) We speak to his entourage. Pogba is a great player and can certainly still play. But it’s been two years since, between injuries and disqualifications, he hasn’t played. These are elements to evaluate and in any case I confirm that we are speaking with his staff. »

Unsurprisingly, Juventus will terminate Paul Pogba’s contract! Both parties want to find an amicable agreement and thus save as much money as possible for Juventus… #Pogba

Juventus drew again in the league today, against Cagliari. A very frustrating result for the bianconeri…After this draw, Thiago Motta and Federico Gatti spoke.

The words of Thiago Motta:

Dusan Vlahovic’s miss:

« OHe doesn’t say anything, it’s a game situation, it happens, it will happen, but there are other things that we certainly need to do much better to be competitive, to continue on the path of growth. »

A complicated match:

« In Serie A, matches are always complicated and today we left a little space to get back into the match. After the expulsion it became difficult. The impression of conceding goals, no, but of fighting, yes. »

What should Douglas Luiz do?

« Training, working, giving your all every day, that’s how we do this job, him and all the others. »

Kenan Yildiz’s entry:

« He entered the match well, we were still leading 1-0, we tried to finish, we didn’t manage to finish and we scored from the penalty spot. »

The words of Federico Gatti:

Regrets after this match:

« There is no alibi, these home matches are must-win matches, we lost two points which will weigh in the long term. »

Gmeison Bremer’s injury:

« We miss him because he is one of the best defenders in the world. Bremer is a big loss, we all have to give more for him, for the team, for the club and for the fans. We can’t have a draw like that, this result must help us grow. »

Two points lost:

« These are two points lost, it was a victory which would have allowed us to work with peace of mind during these two weeks. It’s a step forward, but it must help us grow because these are matches that we must bring home at all costs .»

⏱️ DONE! Draw between Juventus and Cagliari. 🤝⚪️⚫️

Juventus returns to the championship with a duel against Cagliari this Sunday. It is at 12:30 p.m. that the Old Lady welcomes the Sardinian team for the 7th day of Serie A.

A Cagliari team which is in 16th place in the standings with 5 points and a record of 1 victory for 2 draws and 3 defeats this season. Under the leadership of Davide Nicola, Cagliari currently has the worst attack in the country with 4 goals scored and the 12th best defense with 10 goals conceded in 6 matches. Still in the fight for its maintenance, Cagliari presents itself on the lawn of the Allianz Stadium without any pressure and mistrust therefore because this formation remains on 2 victories in a row in all competitions and the last success 3 goals to 2 on the lawn of Parma inevitably reenergized the troops.

A private team of three players namely Pavoletti, Lapadula, Jankto and Wieteska but with strong elements on the pitch. Thus, Davide Nicola could rely on the young Roberto Piccoli, author of 2 goals this season, but also Viola, Luvumbo and in the defensive sector the Colombian Yerry Mina, without forgetting the experienced goalkeeper Simone Scuffet.

Motta can start in a 4-1-4-1 with Kalulu in central defense and Conceiçao on the right wing

For Juventus, we must continue after the very good victory in the Champions League this week at Leipzig. The Bianconeri who can offer a third victory in a row and in front of their home crowd. If the match schedule can prove to be tricky, it will be necessary to ensure that we bring back the three points of victory before the international break. A match with the absences of Gleison Bremer, Nico Gonzalez and Arkadiusz Milik. Two hard blows for Motta who should proceed with a 4-1-4-1 system.

Michele Di Gregorio in goal and in front of him the defensive quartet made up of Savona – Gatti – Kalulu and Andrea Cambiaso or Juan Cabal. In the middle, Manuel Locatelli or Nicolo Fagioli in a sentry role who does not remember the Thiago Motta of the great era. A notch higher, Douglas Luiz and Teun Koopmeiners to occupy the axis, while Kenan Yildiz should play on the left and Francisco Conceiçao right lane in support of Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian who remains on a double in Genoa and a double in Leipzig this week. In the event of a victory, Juve could well return to the top places with 15 points and Napoli who lead the debates with 16 points on the clock.

Compo probable Juventus (4-1-4-1) : Di Gregorio / Savona – Gatti (cap.) – Kalulu – Cambiaso (Cabal) / Locatelli (Fagioli) / Conceiçao – Douglas Luiz – Koopmeiners – Yildiz / Vlahovic.

Probable composition Cagliari (4-2-3-1): Scuffet / Zappa – Mina – Luperto – Obert / Makoumbou – Adopo / Zortea – Viola (cap.) – Luvumbo / Piccoli.

Match day! Juventus faces @CagliariFra this Sunday at 12:30 p.m. #JuveCagliari

For several months, rumors have been circulating regarding a contract extension for Dusan Vlahovic. News is expected in the coming weeks.

Dusan Vlahovic is at the center of attention for Juventus this season. After disappointing performances he was criticized, but last weekend he scored twice against Genoa and was voted man of the match. While he must silence doubts about his level, doubts also hover over him regarding his contractual situation. For his part, Cristiano Giuntoli, the sporting director of Juventus, is not worried about a possible contract extension. “ A problem? No, a player like him with still important prospects can never be a problem, renewal is a goal, we will do it. A player who is worth that much and who earns that much for us is an asset. »

He currently has a contract which ends on June 30, 2026 with Juventus, with an increasing salary which will reach 12 million euros per season. As reported Ilbianconero.comit weighs around 40 million euros on the balance sheet, including depreciation, which is too much for the coffers of a club which makes sustainability its main objective. It is also for this reason that an extension must and will be discussed, in order to spread the costs and make his presence in the Juventus squad more sustainable. Contacts with those around him are expected in the coming weeks…
