At least Inter aren't frauds

Inter are on fire. It will be a very tough game in J-stadium next week!

I can't believe Roma and Milan are giving Juve the Scudetto for free.

milan was never a contender, at most for the last Europa spot,

we have to be realistic, milan goal is to finish top 6 and even thats looking unlikely at this time with the form we are having

by Robespierre Sun Jan 29, 2017 4:24 pm

A lot about Suso (since he doesn't score ? ) but I've always rated Bonaventura as the most important Milan player. Today scores, then gets injured and Milan loses the match.

Why can't you believe it ? It' s the Serie A history for last 4 years

No one is giving away nothing.

We're just too good.

And you can BELIEVE.THAT

With Juve's new 4-2-3-1 formation we are unstoppable really. Bring on the heavyweights please. Barca, Bayern, Real Madrid. We will be waiting for you.

Very frustrating game for Napoli so far. Palermo managed to scored in the first 5 minutes and then parked the whole team in 10m around the box.

Napoli trying all sorts of things to score and have gone really close a bunch of times but haven't managed yet. Mertens hit the crossbar, then a couple of clearances and saves have kept Palermo in the lead.

Unbelievable. Who do these little *bleep* think they are?

Nearly perfect giornata for Inter. Who would have thought Napoli would draw with Palermo? How is it possible that Inter is in 4th place? Juve next weekend, no problem.

What a prat Dybala is. If I was Allegri I would stick his ass on the bench for the rest of the season

by Luca Mon Jan 30, 2017 2:56 pm

It's actually very uncharacteristic of Dybala, last season when he arrived he was eased into the lineup, subbed in and out quite regularly.

Now this season, he's subbed out at around the 75th minute mark (if I recall correctly), as Juventus is 2-0 up, and refuses to shake Allegri's hand? hmm

I think he was more frustrated that he had a very poor game by his standards, but it is definitely not the behaviour you want to see from him or anyone.

by Warrior Mon Jan 30, 2017 3:13 pm

People around here who are shitting on Dybala must have never played sports in their lives rofl

Yesterday Dybala was underperforming and got mad at himself AND at the coach. Guy in a sure starter week in week out and it's the first time it happens... as if Real and Bayern are a fairy tale world where everybody is always happy Rolling Eyes

Besides, Allegri is not some self-proclamed god like Mourinho who only cares about polishing his own image. Talked to the press and said something like: "What he did was wrong, but i was a player before so i understand why he did it. Not shaking a teammate's hand would have been much worse."

Case closed, time to move on.

by rincon Mon Jan 30, 2017 3:35 pm

Fiorentina signed Saponara.

Well... everyone get those bids for Bernardeschi ready!! Laughing

by halamadrid2 Mon Jan 30, 2017 5:16 pm

Dybala is still an up and coming talent. His ego is getting the better of him here. Not like he has multiple titles/scoring records under his belt to be makinh demands like never wanting to be subbed. It's true that nobody likes to be subbed but have some respect for your coach damn.

And yes it's happened at Madrid, this was last season when James refused to shake Benitez' hand and I said the same thing then.

Unlike the people making excuses for Dybala James was slated by everyone starting from our captain to the fans. You see we don't condone immature behaviour like that. And where did that behaviour take him? Nowadays even Asensio is ahead of him though he has been commended for his recent professional behaviour and this correlates with an increase in playing time

Even when Ronaldo through a tantrum earlier in the season he still shook ZZ' hand albeit reluctantly and he has never repeated it again and he has been subbed plenty of time since

Allegri will probably do nothing because he doesn't command as much respect as other better coaches. Robben always throws tantrums but he wouldn't dare do it to Carlo. Neymar too, wouldn't do it to Pep. Allegri needs to set a precedent. The generation today smfh

by rincon Mon Jan 30, 2017 5:42 pm

Or, you know, we let Allegri who is an excellent coach and a very smart man do as he sees fit. Dybala apologized and Allegri sees that its all ok, then let him decide as he wants. Mandzukic did the same at one point, then everything got straightened and there is tons of respect between them. I wouldn't be surprised if Allegri is Manz favorite coach.

Its a first offense, he apologized right away,let them figure it out.

by halamadrid2 Mon Jan 30, 2017 5:50 pm

I suppose you are right. If it's a first and last time offence then I suppose you could let it slide. Though I still feel like this generation have very little respect for people with higher authority than them not only in football. It's not the last time we'll see a player disrespecting his coach when he disagrees with a decision and it's up to the coach, captain and club to show players who the real boss is

by rincon Mon Jan 30, 2017 5:55 pm

Yes, if it happens again then there will be big repercussions. Juve admits no prima donnas, no exceptions.

For now there is no need to be drastic, he hasn't done anything else bad/disrespectful at the club in this 18 months. I really don't think Dybala will go down that path.

by Robespierre Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:08 pm

And what about Chiesa ?
The most brilliant young Fiorentina player in these days.
If the DNA works ( remembering his father ) , he 'll be a fantastic player.

by rincon Mon Jan 30, 2017 7:16 pm

Chiesa looks ridiculous. My only reservation is that he only has half a season of Serie A football so far. I need to see if this is really his level or just some godsend form.

One thing that stunned me about Chiesa from his first game (it was against Juve) was how much balls he has. The kid has zero shyness on the pitch in terms of imposing his game.

Leonardo Bonucci awarded with Serie A 2015/16 best player :bow:

https://twitter.com/juventusfc/status/826185540227657728

Bonucci:

“There’s so much Juventus in me, it’s a matter of heart and skin,”

“Every time I wear the shirt it gives me this incredible energy. I hope I can be important for Juventus, as Juventus is for me.

“Man City? It wasn’t a decision taken lightly. When you see one of the top Coaches in the world show so much respect and appreciation for you it’s hard to say no. My heart prevailed.

“But I’m playing for one of the biggest teams in Italy and the world, and we can win in Italy and Europe."
