30th September: Juventus v Brescia

A tough game against top of the table Brescia. They came out strongly and scored within five minutes but had it ruled out for offside ( and no I diodn't bribe the Assistant ref)
On the 14th minute we managed to score as Bojinov headed home from a Lincoln cross. The cross however was Lincolns last touch of the game as he fell awkwardly and suffered an arm injury which resulted in he being replaced with Guzman. Unfortunately he had little time on the pitch as three minutes after coming on he ahd to be replaced aswell as his ankle gave way on the bobbly pitch.
The second half was a real midfield battle as both teams struggled to get there passing game going. Unfortunatly we lost another player as Nedved suffered a bad facial injury

4th October: Bologna v Juventus

With alot of players out I was worried about this match, the good news is that Trezeguet was fit enough to start on the bench.
Bologna started the better and kept us on the back foot with some brilliant possesion play. Buffon didn't stand a chance with there opener as they fired in a peach of a shot. I was furious with my defence and the way they just stood and watched. Bologna were all over us and at half time the away fans let the players know what they though of our performance. I laid into the players and told them they ahd to pull there bloody fingers out and start earning there wages.
My words seemed to work as they started to play football and get some passes flowing. On the 55th minute I brought Trezeguet on who recieved a standing ovation from the travelling Juventus fans. Three minutes later Bojinov equalised with a cracking header, this seemed to give my players the confidence to attack which they did. On the 81st minute we took the lead as Del Piero fired in a short range free kick, two minutes later Bologna were reduced to ten men after Boumsong recieved an elbow to the face. We took full advantage of this and Trezeguet rounded off a good 45 minutes for us to give us all three points

Bologna 1 - 3 Juventus (Bojinov 58, Del Piero 81, Trezeguet 87)

The three points earnt today has actually move into positive points and moved us off the bottom of Serie B. Now all we have to do is start climbing the table and get near the top


14th October: Spezia v Juventus:

We opened the scoring after only five minutes as Bojinov fired home from 12 yards. It wasn't long till we doubled our lead but we had it ruled offside for a foul on the keeper, for all our possesion we couldn't score again during the first half. It took us a while to get going in the second half as we struggled to get our passsing game going. We finally doubled our lead on the 76th as Palladino headed home. Our joy was short lived as Spezia pulled one back on the 79th minute after a keeping error by Buffon. Luckily for us Nedved made no mistake with our third on the 80th minute to give us the three points

Spezia 1 - 3 Juventus (Bojinov 5, Palladion 76, Nedved 80)

18th October: Juventus v Crotone

We had the perfect start as after only 28 seconds Bojinov fired us into the lead, Crotone looked shocked and didn't get into any sort of rythmn. We kept piling forward and Trezeguet managed somehow to hit the post from 4 yards, then Nedved scolded the keepers hands with a rasping freekick. We eventually doubled our lead as Trezeguet made up for his earlier miss with a cracking 25 yard shot. However seven minutes later Crotone punished us for some very sloppy defending and pulled a goal back. This didn't deter my players as we fought back and Lincoln fired in our third goal on the 42nd minute. The second half again started brilliantly for us as we went 4-1 up within three minutes after a great free kick from Nedved. We made it five but the assistant referee had other ideas and ruled it offside.

Juventus 4 - 1 Crotone (Bojinov 1, Trezeguet 20, Lincoln 42, Nedved 48)


21st October: Modena v Juventus

We started brightly again and nearly scored through Bojinov but his effort went just over the crossbar. Then on the 6th minute we had a goal ruled offside. We were in complete control of the game and on the 22nd minute Nedved scored a brilliant long range effort to giev us a deserved lead. It did however take us well into first half injury time to make it 2-0 as Bojinov headed home . The second half started badly as Del Piero had to be replaced due to injury. This seemed to kill our passing game and we struggled to get forward. But we did manage to score a third as his replacement Palladino scored on the 86th minute to give us a good 3-0 win, but by rights it should of been alot more

Modena 0 - 3 Juventus (Nedved 22, Bojinov 45, Palladino 86)

22nd October: Bad news on the injury front as De Piero will be out for up to two monthes with strained knee ligaments

25th October: Juventus v Napoli

This was on papaer a tough game but we made it look very easy and made Napoli look like a bunch of amateurs. We out played them completely and we eventually scored as Nedved fired in a trade mark thunderbolt. We kept at Napoli but had to wait till the 41st minute to extend our lead any further as Trezeguet fired in from short range. The second half started really well for us as Trezeguet caused the defence no end of trouble, luckily for Napoli there keeper was on fine form and tipped his effort over. On the 65th minute Napoli were reduced to ten men after a second yellow card to there defender. Only 12 minutes later we made it 3-0 as Palladino exploited the extra space and fired in a brilliant goal. Napoli's day didn't improve as they were then reduced to nine men after another defender earnt a second yellow, and just to rub salt in the wounds Nedved headed home after a Lincoln corner

Juventus 4 - 0 Napoli (Nedved 23, 88, Trezeguet 41, Palladino 77)


28th October: Piacenza v Juventus

We started brightly and had a shot saved after only two minutes. However a catalogue of errors cost the lead on the 11th minute. We hit back immediately but Palladino was adjudged to be offside. Piacenze started to pass the ball well and it was a brilliant passing move that led to there second goal of the game on the 33rd minute. We managed to pull one back in the 45th minute as Camoranesi headed home from short range. The second half was more attacking as both teams displayed some brilliant attacking football, but also produced some excellent defending aswell. Our chances of getting something out th game were dashed on the 65th minute as Lincoln got himself sent off, I wasn't best pleased with our display and let the players know it at the end of the game

Piacenza 2 - 1 Juventus (Camoranesi 45)

4th Novemeber: Juventus v Verona

Verona started the better and Buffon had to be on his toes to keep the score 0-0 early on. However we seemed to start finding our passing range and Verona started to struggle with it. Palladino stung the Verona keepers hand with a thunderous shot form 10 yards. It took us till the 25th minute to score as Nedved fired in a spectacular free kick after Palladino had been hacked down. Within two minutes we had doubled our lead as Camoranesi headed in . We went into the break leading but by rights we should of gotten more goals. The second half was very untidy and it took till late into the game for us to score again as Nedved fired in a penalty after Trezeguet was fouled

Juventus 3 - 0 Verona (Nedved 25, pen 90, Camoranesi 27)


8th November: Chievo v Juventus: Italian Cup 1st Round 1st Leg

We started well against the Serie A team and kept there attackers at bay early on. On the 18th minute Trezeguet came close but his shot was deflected wide of the post. Chievo had there chances too but they failed to connect with any. The seocnd half was much the same as both teams tried and failed to break the deadlock. It was however and entertaining game for the fans and it left the 2nd leg wide open

Chievo 0 - 0 Juventus

18th November: Pescara v Juventus

After a ten day break due to internationals my players were all back and ready for action. We started better and fired in a salvo of shots in the first few minutes. It did take us till the 37th minute though to score as Trezeguet latched onto a bad back pass to fire into an open net. However just before the rbeak Pescara equalised with a stunning shot that Buffon had no chance with. I wasn't happy with my players performance in the first half and told them I wanted an improved effort in the next 45 minutes. The second half was only nine minutes old when we re took the lead as Bojinov ran clear to slott home his 13th goal of the season. We started to dominate the oppositon and scored our third goal of the game on the 84th minutes as Bojinov fired in his second . The second half was much improved from the first

Pescara 1 - 3 Juventus (Trezeguet 37, Bojinov 54, 84)


22nd November: Juventus v Triestina

Again we played well and should of gone in front on the 15th minute as Trezeguet headed wide from short range. But on the 20th minute he didn't waste his chance as he opened the scoring with a great individual goal. Then Trezeguet laid on Palladino but his effort went well wide. The second half started poorly for us as Giannichedda got a straight red card for elbowing the opposition striker. We seemed to struggle after that as Triestina started to gain control. They managed to equalise late into the game. I was far from happy, we should of won this game comfortably yet our finishing and discipline let us down

Juventus 1 - 1 Triestina (Trezeguet 20)

25th November: Arezzo v Juventus

This was the worst game so far as manager of Juventus as we couldn't pass the ball the save our lives. We should on papaer have beaten this team by a landslide but we couldn't. At the full time whistle I told the players if this was Serie A we would of been beaten by three or four clear goals.

Arezzo 0 - 0 Juventus


29th November: Cesena v Juventus

After the poor game against Arezzo the players knew I wanted a much improved performance, and they gave it me as after nine minutes we went into the lead via midfielder Paro. Our passing was so much better this game and it showed as we managed to score via a brillaint team move on the 28th minute. We kept Cesena on the back foot and Bojinov nearly scored again but in the process he injured himself and had to be replaced. Late in the first half Cesena pulled one back. The second half was a struggle as we reverted bakc to our poor passsing game but luckily we didn't get punished. And yet again at the full time whistle I let my players know that the last 45 minutes wasn't good enough for a club of this standard

Cesena 1 - 2 Juventus (Paro 9, Bojinov 28)


30th November: Bojinov will be out for up to a month with a pulled Hamstring, Its a big blow as his form has been brilliant in recent weeks. Luckily Del Piero will be fit enough for the bench in the next game against promotion rivals Bari

Glad to see your still going with this I know the feeling about frustrating draws :@ and Bojinov was superb for me until he got a groin injury. He is excellent, well worth the money

mark wilson27

Bojinov is my star player, but there is alot of excellent youngsters in the Juve side
