The New Juve’s first retreat together…

By: Juan Rohrmann | July 23rd, 2007

It has been a few good weeks for Juventus. We have played to friendlies and won very convincingly on each of them. The new team members are getting along well (except for Camo and Zannetti). They got in a fight because Camoranesi tackled him a little late. Cristiano Zannetti usually gives out very hard tackles so he must accept them but maybe they were not friends anyway. Who nows really but beside them everyone is getting along well specially Almiron and Tiago who are roommates. Almiron says their only ptoblem is understanding each other because Tiago does not speack Spanish and his Italian is weak.

Here is a video of the friendly against China. I think Trezeguets goal was very good and I like that Criscito is still with us. Olympic China vs Juventus.

Tachinnardi and Gianichedda got the boot from the squad as their contracts were terminated and I think it was a good move by the side because there were too many central midfielders and old ones also in the squad. If you put them together it would have been tachinnardi, Gianichedda, Blasi, Zanneti, Segundo Castillo (our new Colombian signing), Tiago, Almiron and Marchisio. All of them playing the same role and the ones that got sacked were the oldest and not the best.

We have many friendlies and unfortunately I can’t watch them because they don’t air here and it would be a miracle if they showed them in www.live-footy.org . Here’s the list:

Newcastle-Juventus on July 29
Hamburg-Juventus on August 1
Sunderland-Juventus August 4
Juventus-Napooli-Inter August 8th

I envy you guys if you get to watch them, since I will only be able to see the Tim Cup.

P.S. Mancini believes we will be in the title race.

  What is this crap about Chiellini and Blasi to Man City. Blasi i don’t mind too much, but if we let go of Chiellini, despite the recent temper tantrum, i will be furious. He’s one of the best young talents we have, we’d be insane to let him go. It would be an outrage, we want a stronger defense, so why let go of one of our best????

  tachinnardi, Gianichedda gone, Marchisio out on lone. Quality very happy with that, didnt want to see any of these players wasting away on the bench because of an overcrowded midfield. correct me if im wrong but there are already 9 defenders (piccolo going out on co-ownership). Isnt that a lot already? i would love to see chellini, grygera, Criscito, molinaro all in the starting line up…. why are we still looking for defenders?

  i think juve have a lot of defenders just not a strong CD but im not sure. i too hope chiellini stays because if we let him go that will be one of the stupidest moves our managment will make. juve need to stop giving away all their young stars because one day they will regret it

  ye out centre defense isn’t that strong, grygera isn’t exactly world class, even though very good. We need someone who will be able to lead the backline, a world class defender or someone close to it, because i don’t think a grygera-andrade defense is enough really. Criscito is too young to marshal a backline, although i’d have him third choice with chiellini left, i’m not too sure about right as i hate zebina. I’d like to see someone like barzagli, heinze is very good as is meira

  well i heard that we may be getting heinze so that would be a good addition in order to strengthen our defence

  Well, we lost to Newcastle today. Nothing to fret about as the team created many chances and I would think that further down the line, as they get used to each other, are a little more fit and sharp in front of goal, they should do well. Almiron is a class player and I think Tiago too although he still needs to get used to his new surrounding.

  I am still concerned about defence though. Zebina is particular still has those moments of lack of concentration and his side of the field was clearly the eakest today.

  Too early to tell - Newcastle are ten days away from the start of the season while we are a month away. So the two teams were not at equal footing in terms of their preparations…
