Juventus Official Announcements and Interviews

[Zoff82]

Juve just took a big shit on Giovinco. This guy is going to ruin Juve like Miccoli does. Juve are going to lose out an automatic 12 points vs Parma and Palermo with Miccoli and Giovinco scoring 4 goals each in both those games. Fuck this team next year is going to be even worse.

Watch out Serie A, Juve just acquired Pirlo. I don't wanna hear anything about these big star players. None of them are going to join this team without European football.

It is the rent-a-player philosophy. Rent 6 players one season, get another six the year after. This team is going to look very different than it did this season. Bosmans are good for getting good bench players, not starters. They're not getting contracts for a reason. They're either old or washed up. This team has no money, despite what some articles are writing. Don't expect big name signings this summer.

I like the pirlo signing. We haven't had a player with his characteristics in a long time. It's something this team has missed the last couple of years. I'm assuming it means a midfield of him, marchisio, and melo next year, which is basically the same type of midfield pirlo's played in for most of his career. So, he shouldn't take that long to settle in. It might be wishful thinking, but hopefully we can sign a striker and bring back Giovinco to play down that left flank.

Ziegler was a mistake signing. Taiwo was the bettwe choice and our left flank is no better with Zeigler than with Chiellini or De Ceglie. Another sideways step.

Pirlo is a good signing, but he will only play a few games a season because he gets those injuries that only miraculously heal when we play important opponents.

Keep Giovinco and save the money. We need a defensive leader and a solid RB like Cassani. If Milan are going to have to sell Cassano based on Prandelli's new insistance for players to be regular starters he should be our #1 choice for up top.

We need to upgrade Melo as the defensive anchor, especially if we don't upgrade our center back situation. If we don't get a positionally sound stopper we are going to see the same tactical flaws we have seen since we offloaded Zanetti and Nocerino.

Antonio Conte has given his first interview as new Coach of Juventus, claiming that he is ‘coming home’. The former Juventus captain has just taken Siena to an automatic promotion to Serie A, a feat he also achieved with Bari in 2008/09. As reported by the clubs official website, he told journalists he is ready for this opportunity.

“I would like to thank [director Giuseppe] Marotta and the club for this opportunity. For me it’s like coming home after seven years. I have always dreamed of this moment and it’s been a fixed target of mine ever since I started my coaching career.”

Conte has preferred a 4-4-2 system which includes a high work ethic all over the pitch. He said he is ready to take Juve back to the top.

“The numbers mean little, what matters are the principles and ideas, which naturally must evolve with study, experience and the everyday association with the players,” he noted.

“I want my side to have the ball. We need to control the game and this is the mentality that I’ll look to get over to my players. We need to be compact, look to win back the ball as soon as possible, without moving back.

"Our objective is to return to be a challenging side. Juve’s history demands this and, through work, 100% commitment and the right attitude we must bring this club back to where it deserves to be and where the fans want it to be.”

Conte also spoke of the new arrival at Vinovo, Italian international Andrea Pirlo, as well as other transfer targets: “I can always find a role for great footballers. Pirlo is an international player, blessed with class and charisma, just like Marchisio, who has a big heart and notable qualities. They’re Juve players and I’m happy to have them available.”

“Targets in the transfer market? We will hold a meeting immediately with Marotta, [Fabio] Paratici and [Pavel] Nedved and we will start to speak about it in more depth. The most important thing is to spend correctly.

"In any case, there’s an excellent foundation of this side that’s hasn’t had the best of seasons, but I’ll also focus on the will to redeem themselves, in terms of who will remain. There’s no need to overhaul the side, just to make some adjustments.”

I hear your "fiancee" rides one ever so often. The Taiwor comment was for TK, not you, scumbag. Your wife riding your tiny pee pee was for you.
