Just several weeks into the summer transfer window Juventus sealed the deal for Swiss defender Stephan Lichtsteiner from Lazio for a fee of 10 million euros. Although the other summer signing, Andrea Pirlo, has received most the praise so far this season, Lichtsteiner has arguably been the more consistent of the two. An incredible worker who just turned 28-years-old, Stephan Lichtsteiner has been so effective that his work down the right has become one of Juventus’ biggest weapons, both in [...]

Antonio Conte has been the driving force of the Juventus revolution with his aggressive 4-3-3 formation. Essential to the attack are the wingers as not only do they offer more of a threat in the attack, they offer support for the striker as well as take attention away from the middle. Conte inherited one of his wingers in the form of Simone Pepe, but the other wing was left vacant. While Juventus pursued a number of strikers, they eventually landed [...]

While Juventus are off training in the sun of the Arabian Peninsula, the front office is hard at work as the winter transfer window opens. As always, in Italy, the rumors are flying forth from the media, and while some names are pure speculation, there are a few players who will most likely be playing in Torino in the next weeks. Former Roma striker Marco Borriello has already landed in Torino. It was announced on Monday that Juve landed the [...]

Another week and another win, as Juventus roll through Novara to keep their unbeaten streak intact. It was always going to be a tall task for Novara as they entered the Juventus stadium and the home team was unfortunate to not score more. Although the visitors did have a few chances, this match was all Juve. Juventus had a little different look to start this game, as Conte chose a few players who had not started many games this season. [...]

Monday saw Juventus go back to the top of the table but their grip on the lead has loosened, as they are now level on points with Udinese. Following the draw with Roma, Juve and Udinese now both have 30 points on the season, and although Conte and his men have expressed their delight with the draw, one can’t help but feel that this was a missed opportunity for Juve, especially considering that Milan drew Bologna. That being said, looking [...]

Another exciting match is upon on us Monday when two of the historically best teams in Italy collide in the country’s capital, as Juventus travel to face Roma. This will be the Old Lady’s fifth game in a little over two weeks. Juventus are coming in with blistering form as they continue to get positive results. Roma on the other hand are coming in after a run of poor results and will surely be looking to please the home crowd [...]

Juventus fans, following the amazing comeback in Napoli on Tuesday, are probably feeling confident coming into this weekend’s fixture. However no one should get carried away, even when playing a team currently sitting in the relegation zone.  Anything is possible in football and, especially in Italy, even a league leader can be upset. The odds will certainly be stacked against Cesena as they step foot in Torino on Sunday to take on table toppers Juventus. Things are going well for [...]

Following the big win on Saturday at Lazio, there has been a lot of talk about game winner Simone Pepe. A year ago there was a giant question mark in the minds of Juventini about the arrival of the Italian international on loan from Udinese. His career prior to Juventus had been one of uncertainty, as the winger had bounced around for most of his youth until finally stringing a few years together at the Udine side. He earned a [...]

Coming into this match, Juventus are the only unbeaten side in Italy with 6 wins and 4 draws. Lazio have the same record with the inclusion of one loss, a 2-1 [...]
