Im currently doing the exact same file, except I had minus 9 points, I've won promotion already with 39 games gone, lost just 1.

Tip - Do not use Del Piero as a regular, he is a poor goalscorer, Trezeguet should get you at least 40 goals, as you know Bojinov is super.

Igor Tudor will consistantly get injured

GG Buffon will get crap ratings in a lot of matches even when he doesnt concede.

Jonathan Zebina sucks!

Camoransei responds very well to criticism and If I were you Id seriously go for the Coppa Italia as it is a passport back into Europe and can help you financially, because the board will soon start accepting offers without your knowledge, as they did with me for Chiellini.

Del Piero is one of my top scorers, and Buffon is my top rated player. Tudor has missed only two games through injury and Zebina is earning rave reviews plus Man Utd want him and have already offered 14 million but I dont want to sell him. You must have ahd some bad luck with the board Im still in the black with the bank

2nd December: Juventus v Bari

Bari were in first place and on a roll and it really showed as they ripped into my defence and took the lead on the 3rd minute. We didn't seem to be able to cope with Bari. We conceded a second goal but lukicly the referee disallowed it for a foul on Buffon. This scare seemed to wake us up and we started to find our passing range but we were still finding it a struggle. However on the 25th minute we got a lucky break as a poor backpass let in Trezeguet who made no mistake in equalising. At half time I let the players know I was far from happy with the last 45 minutes and I wanted a much improved performance in the second half. I took Paro off and brought on Del Piero.
The second half was a little better but it still wasn't good enough. Nedved however put us into the lead with a typical free kick. This seemed to stun Bari who were in control of the game and we took advantage as three minutes later Camoranesi fired in a third. Bari's luck had run out as they were reduced to ten men after a second bookable offence. But in reality we were out played in this game and the score was very flattering

Juventus 3 - 1 Bari (Trezeguet 25, Nedved 62, Camoranesi 65)

6th December: Juventus v Chievo; Italian Cup 1st Round 2nd Leg (agg 0-0)

I told the players to go for the win and not be content with a draw, but whatever they did not to concede an away goal.
However in the first minute we nearly did but luckily for us Tudor was there to block the shot. Chievo was all over us but Buffon was in top form. Late in the half we had a very lucky break as a thunderous shot by Trezeguet rebounded off the keeper and staright back at him, which he wasted no time in scoring from.
We seemed to improve in the second half as Del Piero came on and it was his passing ability which led to our second goal as he threaded a pin point ball to Nedved who netted brilliantly

Juventus 2 - 0 Chievo (Agg 2-0) (Trezeguet 45, Nedved 81)

The draw for the 1/4 final saw us pitted against Palermo

9th December: Lecce v Juventus

We started really well against the bookies favourites as after only seven minutes Trezeguet fired us into the lead. We were far better than Lecce and made them look very poor. Yet for all our attacking we couldn't score again in the first half. Lecce started brightly in the second half and had an early goal ruled out for a foul on Tudor. On the 58th minute we doubled our leadas Del Piero fired home a great free-kick. After the goal Lecce upped there attcking play but we defeded really really well and kept the clean sheet

Lecce 0 - 2 Juventus (Trezeguet 7, Del Piero 58)


13th December: Juventus v Treviso

Again we started the better and made mince meat out of Treviso as we didn't give them a sniff of the ball. It did however take us till the 32nd minute to score as Palladino fired in from short range. We kept plodding forward and scored our second just before the break as Trezeguet headed home a Del Piero free kick. The second half was no different as we looked invincible, even Piccolo got into the socring habit by firing a shot in from 30 yards. He looked as shocked as I did that he scored from that range. Five minutes not too be out done Del Piero put his name on the score sheet with a simple freekick after Trezeguet was fouled. We scored a fifth via Trezeguet but luck desserted himas the assistant ruled it off side. However he did get a slice of luck as he was fouled in the area to give us a penalty, but before he had chance to grab the ball Del Pieor grabbed the ball and slotted home from 12 yards. The score could have been in double figures but I was happy for the three points

Juventus 5 - 0 Treviso (Palladino 32, Trezeguet 45, Piccolo 56, Del Piero 61, pen 78)

16th December: Juventus v Mantova

The last game before the winter break. The players came out really well and dominated a poor Mantova side, but for all our dominance the finishing let us down, This continued throughout the second half and the game ended 0-0. I was dissapointed with our finishing but I can't complain too much as we are in good vain of form,

Juventus 0 - 0 Mantova

6th January: Frosinone v Juventus

We started poorly as my players looked like they were still on holiday. Frosinone were the better team and it took all of Buffons skill to save us from going 1-0 down. We had a lucky break on the 38th minute as Trezeguet was adjudged to have been fouled in the area. Del Piero stepped up and put us into an undeserved lead. The second half was alittle better for us as we started to gain more control over Frosinone. Unfortunately Bojinov had to be replaced half way through the second half after pulling up pretty sharpish. We managed to go 2-0 up on the 80th minute as Del Piero headed home, but unluckily this was his last act of the match as he had to replaced due to another injury

Frosinone 0 - 2 Juventus (Del Piero pen 38, 80)

Del Piero will be out for up to a fortnight with a thigh strain, Bojinov is also out but for around a month with a pulled hamstring. Not what I needed

7th January: Transfer news see's Camoranesi signing for Villareal for a sum of £6,500,000, stating he wasn't happy playing in a lower league (thats loyalty for you)
Kovac will be moving to Osasuna on July 1st on a free transfer after rejecting a very lucrative contract offer

8th January: To ease any financial worries we might of had I allowed AC Milan to co-own Chiellini in a deal worth £1,700,000, he will however still be playing for us which is very good news

10th January: Palermo v Juventus: Italian Cup 1/4 Final 1st Leg

Our most difficult game of the season as Palermo were riding high in Serie A, this didn't daunt my team as we were the better team in the opening exchanges. We eventually score on the 23rd minute as Trezeguet fired in from the edge of the area, plus this mean't we got an all important away goal.After the goal Palermo started to get back into the game and were causing us alot of problems in the midfield. At the break I changed the formation to a 4-5-1 as I could see my midfield were struggling against the constant barrage from Palermo. It seemed to workl as they strugled to get past our crowded midfield. We managed to score again against the run of play but it was ruled out after Trezeguet decided to knock the Palermo striker to the ground.

Palermo 0 - 1 Juventus (Trezeguet 23)


13th January: Genoa v Juventus

Another tough game as Genoa were in good form and it showed as they mathced us well on the pitch. It was Genoa who drew first blood as Paro fouled in the area and Genoa wasted no time in despatching the penalty. But there lead didn't last long as seven minutes later Trezeguet equalised. The second half was very poor in comparison and both teams walked away with a point

Genoa 1 - 1 Juventus (Trezeguet 42)
