Emerson offered contract extension
Sunday 14 August, 2005
With interest from Real Madrid and Chelsea continuing, Juve hope to end speculation once and for all by offering Emerson an extended contract.

The Brazilian only joined from Roma last summer, but he is reportedly the subject of a new bid from the Spanish giants to lure him to La Liga.

Considering how successful his first season at the Stadio Delle Alpi was, Juventus are eager to ensure his loyalty with an improved contract.

His current deal expires in 2008, but the Bianconeri have lined up a further two-year extension taking his wages to £3m per season. It would put his contract on a par with those of captain Alessandro Del Piero, David Trezeguet and Ballon d’Or winner Pavel Nedved.

The Italian Press maintains that the paperwork will be finalised in September and effectively make sure that Emerson ends his career in Turin, as he will be 34 years old by the time it expires.

Meanwhile, former Juventus midfielder Davide Baiocco has signed a three-year deal with Serie B outfit Catania. The player was a free agent following Perugia’s bankruptcy.

hope to god that he signs-on, he's da bosss :)

Azzurri: Cassano gets Dublin chop
Sunday 14 August, 2005
Antonio Cassano has been left out of Wednesday’s friendly trip to Ireland, but Alessandro Del Piero and Francesco Totti return to the fold.

The Roma starlet has been under pressure with his recent contract dispute and Coach Marcello Lippi opted not to bring him along in this current climate.

It is an important call for Del Piero, as the Juventus captain had not worn the Azzurri jersey since September 2004, while Totti returns after he was dropped as a disciplinary measure for the World Cup qualifier in Norway.

Fiorentina’s new signing Luca Toni and Milan man Christian Vieri are also included in the Italy front line for this test in Dublin.

Lippi has made most of his experiments in midfield with the inclusion of Sampdoria’s Aimo Diana, Palermo player Simone Barone and Reggina winger Giandomenico Mesto – a former Under-21 international.

The squad will meet at the Coverciano training ground on Monday afternoon before flying out to the Republic of Ireland for the Lansdowne Road encounter on Wednesday evening.

Italy squad:

Gk: Buffon, De Sanctis, Roma;

D: Barzagli, Cannavaro, Grosso, Materazzi, Nesta, Zaccardo, Zambrotta;

M: Barone, Camoranesi, De Rossi, Diana, Gattuso, Mesto, Pirlo;

F: Del Piero, Gilardino, Iaquinta, Toni, Totti, Vieri.

HT: Vieira's Juve steps on Milan
Sunday 14 August, 2005
Patrick Vieira’s goal has given Juve an entertaining first half lead against Milan in the traditional Trofeo Berlusconi clash, but Pavel Nedved is injured.

Christian Vieri was given his San Siro debut in a Milan jersey against his former club and partnered Andriy Shevchenko, while a call-up to the Italy side for next week’s friendly against the Republic of Ireland was not enough to earn Alessandro Del Piero a start for his club.

There were tactical changes, as Carlo Ancelotti opened with Marek Jankulovski as left-back in a four-man defence and Juve experimented with Pavel Nedved out wide on the right.

There is a curious theory surrounding this competition, as in the past it was believed that the losers of this trophy would go on to win the Scudetto, but Juve broke that ‘curse’ last year with a victory.

The Bianconeri had the first chance after seven minutes when Patrick Vieira threaded through for Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his fierce shot was strangely kept out by Dida’s nose. Soon after, Vieri gathered a Marcos Cafu pass and skipped round Lilian Thuram before Fabio Cannavaro dived in for a last-ditch intervention to rescue Gigi Buffon.

There was bad news for Juve after 18 minutes when Nedved fell awkwardly under a Paolo Maldini challenge and was replaced by Adrian Mutu. Initial reports suggest the Ballon d’Or winner has sprained his ankle.

Moments later, the Turin giants opened the scoring with a well-worked team move finalised by Vieira. It was an all-French affair, as Jonathan Zebina exchanged passes with David Trezeguet and allowed the former Arsenal midfielder to spring the offside trap in the centre.

Ibrahimovic nearly made it 2-0 on the half-hour mark as his solo effort thumped the base of the upright and his glancing header was over. After being under the cosh for most of the first half, Kaka went close three times as he broke through the centre and rolled his finish inches wide, then brought a fingertip save out of Buffon and saw a shot charged down.

Milan 0-1 Juventus (Half-Time)

Scorers: Vieira 20 (J)

Milan: Dida; Cafu, Stam, Maldini, Jankulovski; Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini; Kaka; Vieri, Shevchenko

Juventus: Buffon; Zebina, Thuram, Cannavaro, Zambrotta; Pessotto, Emerson, Vieira, Nedved (Mutu 18); Trezeguet, Ibrahimovic

Buffon injured in Milan victory
Sunday 14 August, 2005
It was a bad evening all round for Juve, who lost the Trofeo Berlusconi to Milan and saw Gigi Buffon and Pavel Nedved stretchered off.

Christian Vieri was given his San Siro debut in a Milan jersey against his former club and partnered Andriy Shevchenko, while a call-up to the Italy side for next week’s friendly against the Republic of Ireland was not enough to earn Alessandro Del Piero a start for his club.

There were tactical changes, as Carlo Ancelotti opened with Marek Jankulovski as left-back in a four-man defence and Juve experimented with Pavel Nedved out wide on the right.

Ibrahimovic nearly made it 2-0 on the half-hour mark as his solo effort thumped the base of the upright and his glancing header was over. After being under the cosh for most of the first half, Kaka went close three times as he broke through the centre and rolled his finish inches wide, then brought a fingertip save out of Buffon and saw a shot charged down.

The teams were allowed six substitutions each and Milan made several changes at half-time, introducing Alberto Gilardino for Vieri. Within three minutes the former Parma striker had hit the back of the net, but it was correctly disallowed for an offside position.

The Rossoneri were much livelier in the second half and drew level when Shevchenko pulled back from the by-line for Kaka to sweep in first time. The young Brazilian nearly bagged a second soon after and Buffon bravely rushed off his line to close him down with one arm. It was perhaps a little too brave, as the goalkeeper was stretchered off in agony and is out of Wednesday’s international friendly in Dublin after an initial prognosis of a strained muscle in his shoulder with possible dislocation.

Del Piero was given his chance to shine in the final half-hour and Manuel Rui Costa replaced the impressive Kaka. The Portuguese playmaker immediately sent Gilardino running and his finish shaved the far post.

Milan nearly scored a spectacular goal as Rui Costa and Pirlo nutmegged and flicked their way through until the former Fiorentina man rattled the woodwork. Rui Costa has been on stunning form this summer and his searching pass found Serginho for an angled drive to put the Trofeo Berlusconi in Rossoneri hands.

whats with all these injuries in preseason ?!

how many is that now ? 4 ? 5 ? Birindelli, Chiellini, Nedved, Buffon... i think theres couple more.

f*ck.

I hate these preseason meaningless games but you can't do without em either :( I wish players were a little more cautious. Benfica played rough that day... Milan today.

Chimenti isn't enough. If its a shoulder dislocation, that means Buffon will be out for at least 3-4 months. Who could Juve get as a replacement ? We'll need a decent keeper thats for sure. No one can replace Gigi though :(

and f*ck the Supercoppa. I don't like the prospect of seeing our players going up against that asshole Materazzi again. One more injury and im going to lose it.

PS: F U Kaka....and F U Maldini as well while im at it.

i'm pretty sure it can be a 4-5 week injury, if it's not operated on

like trezeguet before he actually went under the knife, but as that instance showed, it is likely to pop out again, and for a GK, that's not good at all

Two months out for Buffon?
Monday 15 August, 2005
Juventus and Italy may be without goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon for the next two months because of injury.

The shot-stopper, regarded as the best in the world, suffered a shoulder problem after clashing with Milan’s Kaka during the 2-1 Trofeo Berlusconi defeat last night.

Buffon did seem in some pain and reports on Monday claim that he will be sidelined for at least a month and could be out for as long as eight weeks.

The former Parma No 1 will therefore miss the Italian Super Cup game against Inter on August 20 at the Stadio Delle Alpi.

He’s also likely to miss the start of his club’s Scudetto and Champions League campaigns, even if the outfit have so far not made an official announcement regarding Buffon’s likely comeback date.

Buffon has already been ruled out of Wednesday’s friendly in Ireland and will probably also miss out on the September World Cup qualifiers against Scotland and Belarus.

Juventus may now opt to move on the transfer market seeing as they only have Antonio Chimenti as back-up in Turin.

Some whispers suggest that they may sign Milan’s Dimitrios Eleftheropoulos, who could be released for free after the capture of Zeljko Kalac on Friday.

On the international scene, Udinese’s Morgan De Sanctis could be handed the blue jersey for a few months.

However, Monaco’s Flavio Roma, Matteo Guardalben of Palermo and Lazio veteran Angelo Peruzzi are also options.

Moggi defends ‘foul happy’ Vieira
Monday 15 August, 2005
Juventus director general Luciano Moggi has defended new signing Patrick Vieira from criticism that he commits too many fouls.

Moggi, the man responsible for his £14m capture from Arsenal, concedes that the player gets stuck in but maintains that his quality will serve the club well.

"Vieira is a champion," said the transfer guru. "He may have the odd negative but he has so many positives.

"His fouls? Committing fouls is a normal aspect of football but he doesn’t ‘eat’ players.

"He is one of the best central midfield players in Europe and we are counting on him this season.

"Milan let him go when he was a youngster but today he is a champion."

Vieira is taking his time to settle in Turin, but he could form one of the world’s most accomplished central midfield partnerships alongside Emerson in the new campaign.

Moggi was also not surprisingly again asked about a possible move for Antonio Cassano of Roma.

That after Lapo Elkann – heir to the Agnelli empire – said: "Juve want to win everything and in order to do that they need Cassano. We’ll sign him next summer on a free transfer."

Moggi replied: "He was probably just saying that to friends over dinner and it was only his opinion.

"Cassano could be of interest to us but we are already well covered in attack."

Capello blasts ‘tough’ Milan
Monday 15 August, 2005
Juventus boss Fabio Capello is unhappy that the Trofeo Berlusconi defeat has seen him lose Pavel Nedved and Gigi Buffon.

Both players picked up injuries in Sunday’s 2-1 loss during the annual friendly match at the San Siro against hosts Milan.

Nedved seems to have badly twisted his ankle, while the goalkeeper has suffered a potentially serious shoulder problem.

"It’s a real shame that we are losing so many players in this period," said Capello after Mauro Camoranesi also picked up an injury on Friday in the Naples triangular tournament.

"Nedved suffered a nasty blow from Paolo Maldini which could possibly have been avoided. The same could be said for Kaka on Buffon.

"The Berlusconi Trophy is important but at the end of the day it is still a friendly and there could have been a little more caution out there. These frequent injuries are annoying."

The tactician was happy with the performance of his side though, even if their display did nosedive a little after initially taking the lead through Patrick Vieira.

"Ignoring the result, I’m happy with the first half display in which Juventus played with great personality," added the tactician.

"Milan made some smart changes at the break by putting on fresh players and we suffered Serginho on the flanks.

"However, if the result of the game was different then I don’t think there would be too many people moaning."

Capello also said he was satisfied with Adrian Mutu’s display in a wide role after Nedved's substitution. "I thought he did well in a position which is not new to him," he concluded.
