Juve Training Photos
By: alessio | July 20th, 2009Preseason has been going well, with Ferrara particularly focusing on the physical condition of the players. When I first heard this, it sent a lump into my throat and I imagined the rash of injuries that would spread through the camp. So far, no real injuries have occurred though nearly all of the players have confirmed Ferrara has been pushing them hard. It is for two causes- the new formation, and the mentality. Ciro has said he wants Juve to fight hard, to be “energetic with the ball, and hungry without it.”
The new formation is going to typically be a 4-3-1-2, from how the players have been training. Diego isn’t quite ready and Giovinco is out due to his nose surgery, so in matches Del Piero has been pushing back to the trequartista position. He has confirmed he does not like to play in that role, but is plenty willing to do it for the time being. Tiago has impressed in the 3-man midfield, which makes sense given his best performances at Chelsea and Lyon were in a 3-man midfield.
Juve’s medical bulletin was posted today, and thank God, it’s the shortest we’ve seen in a long time. (and only full of good news) De Ceglie’s injury recovery is going well (from the left-ankle injury in the U-21 Euros) and will be travelling with the team to the Peace Cup, though he will not be playing and continuing his program. Diego is undergoing a special program as his fitness levels are lower than the rest of the teams, hence why ADP has been playing trequartista in games, and Giovinco should be back in a week. Momo Sissoko felt a pain in his foot where he broke it last season and underwent x-rays, but they confirmed it was just a bit of swelling and will undergo some treatment, physical therapy, and will be back to full condition in a matter of days.
Here’s a bunch of training photos from the last two weeks or so, enjoy!

Flying under the radar. I like it.

Chiellini showing up for training

“I like it when you call me Big Daddy”

Hard to believe that next summer, it will have been a decade of ADP-Trez magic.

“I swear Doc, that sample was all because of Belen Rodriguez”

Showing up in true ADP fashion- class

The new boy signing autographs.

The other new signing, equally popular with the tifosi.

The reserver keeper getting a little love.

He’s gonna have a great season, I know it.

Even Tiago gets some fan love.

Young winger Esposito, and yes, he does have creepy eyes.

Young striker Immobile signing some autographs.

Chiellini making some fans happy.

The new Triade surveying the team’s training.

The team being put through their paces.

Two players whos’ absences were badly missed last season. They will be crucial to silverware.

Luca Marrone, of the Primavera.

We signed Steven Gerrard! Just kidding, that’s Mario Kirev, a very promising young goalkeeper we signed this January and then sent on loan to Grasshoppers.

Chiellini- “We made a secret handshake when you were off in Madrid…”

Good to see the team having fun.

Back from the Confederation’s Cup and vacation, it’s back to work.

“Why can’t you go lock Zebina in the toilet, look, he’s over there!”

He’s done this a lot in training. Yes, we know you have beastly thigh muscles.

Unless this a text from your agent saying Cisco Roma is interested, this is probably the wrong way to win over Ferrara. Particularly when he’s banned cell phone usage and internet until after dinner.
Though Ferrara has been putting the team through their paces, that is not the only thing that the Juventini have been up to at training camp. They’ve been working on physical strength in the gym, but also some more fun activities to allow the players to relax and enjoy themselves, like Del Piero’s favorite golf, even a surprising new fact about Mr. Versatility, our Brazzo.

Del Piero signed a one-year extension to his contract at Pinzolo!

After a great drive, sizing up a putt.

Not having quite as much success.

Manninger going out in the early morning to do some fishing.

“Hey guys, I caught a huge one! It was this big!”

“Oh damn, I guess someone took a picture.”
While Manninger was out early morning fishing, Trez was buying new French suits, and ADP was perfecting his swing, Brazzo and Amauri decided to hang out. First, they went to the local market to get some fruit. And then Brazzo made an offer Amauri couldn’t refuse. A helicopter ride.

This looks like an ad.

Yes, apparently Brazzo is a licensed pilot and decided to take Amauri out for a ride.
Training continues until tomorrow, when preparations for the Peace Cup in Andalucia begin.

hleb is a bargain but has the potential to be good just like quaresma. We dont play with wingers so this is the only place for him. Dont worry i still dont consider juve a threat just like last season you started off well and then gradually faded away as the season wore on. I hope you guys arent forgetting that month and a half where you didnt win a single game. Im willing to admit that we didnt even play all that well during this season but the thing is we didnt have to cuz the rest of you guys were to busy lagging behind. If there were two games where we played really really well it was against your team we dominated you with quite ease i might add. Your peak was against milan and then the last really good performance you had was against roma at stadio olimpico.

Yay, a picspam! Great to see the boys having fun.
So, Diego likes to wear D&G underwear. Good to know.
I adore Del Piero’s hat.
I agree with Roberto, the best caption is: “Why can’t you go lock Zebina in the toilet, look, he’s over there!”

Anyone else is worried about our team conceding one goal per match so far? Do you think with Sisoko and Melo on the field we will be able to stop this goals from happening?, any thoughts??

I really wouldn’t put any concern into these preseason games, Jose. Last summer (if I remember correctly) we were beaten by Sunderland. The team is probably at 60% physical condition, we’re still adapting to the formation and tactical changes, etc. I wouldn’t even worry about the Peace Cup performances. Right now it’s just about getting out there, getting some time in the legs, and learning to work together.

I agree with you Alessio, preseason games are to help regain form and build on match fitness.
But for some reason I’m getting a bad feeling about next season. We are going to play with a new formation and it looks like we are going to build it around Diego. If our trequartista fails to shine our formation won’t work and it doesn’t look like our management has a plan b sorted out. This will either be the smartest or the stupidest thing that they’ve done.

for next season i think we will start awfully,
still adaptation to new formation, also who’s gonna form the 3 man mid? tiago, melo sissoko, marhisio,camoranesi ,…? and diego how good he is , it will prabably take time for him as well to adapt to sertie a wich is undoubfully way tougher than portugal or bunbdesliga.
but I’m sure, eventually everything will be allright and juve will rule like never before!

This sentence just made me so happy!
“Poulsen and ALMIRON will not form part of the group but will remain in Turin to train.”
YES!!! No more Almiron!!! Kinda hate to see Poulsen leaving too, but Almiron gone!!! Whoo hoo!!!

I noticed that too, Nnahoj. Looks like they’re gonna be busy signing for other teams. No other reason to “remain in Turin to train”.

“Two players whos’ absences were badly missed last season. They will be crucial to silverware.” Couldn’t agree more. Forza Trez e Cristiano!

If he leaves, it’s going to be for cash only. Don’t worry Zaki, Trez is gonna stay.
