Juventus VS Barcelona

Juventus vs Barcelona friendly match ended in a 2-2 draw. Dembele scored both goals for Barcelona and Kean scored both goals for Juventus. But the formation of Juventus surprised me. They played in 4-5-1 formation today. Very few coaches fix their match strategy in such a formation. However, Juventus' performance was good enough. Juventus will be a worthy contender for the Serie A title next season.

Barcelona new players really demonstrated their tactics in this match, because many people predicted that Juventus will defeat Barcelona 2-0 but the match ended 2-2 draw showed that Barcelona coach really brought in the right players that will make the fans happy again. Dembele  made people to believed him that he is among the best strikers in Italian league competition by helping Barcelona to achieved the goals that made them not to experience defeat from Juventus. Juventus coach need to work on his defenders so that what happened in this friendly match will not repeat itself again.

Yes Paulo Dybala has been a big signing for AS Roma this season, of course their supporters welcome the signing of this player. Hope will always be there when a player with a label joins the team. And Dybala also he is happy to be in this city, of course something like this will make players comfortable. And when the players are comfortable, usually they will do the best performance.

The respect of Roma for Dybala and the celebration of Romanista for him will give him big motivation in a coming season. Dybala was convinced by a plan of Mourinho and Roma so he decided to join them. It is a very big, a biggest signing of Roma in last 10 years and we saw how they hope for a good future with Dybala. There is rumor that Juventus want to buy Zaniolo and if they do it, the transfer cost would be big. In quality, two players are the same so if that deal is made, Roma will have a successful two sided movements. Dybala with a free transfer from Juventus and a big money by selling Zaniolo.

But even if that's the case it's still quite natural I think for a player of Zaniolo's class, they've also benefited from the arrival of Di Maria and Pogba and a lot of money from the sale of De Ligt.
I don't think it's too much for them to pay a fairly high price because this is still very worth it for their gameplay later.
Even though it was a big advantage also obtained by Rome.

There are reports that Juventus are in advanced talks to sign Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino this summer. They were in pursuit of Morata but Athletico Madrid refused to let him leave. I see what Allegri is trying to do, building a strong squad using experienced fringe players from other clubs. I think it’s a very busy year with lots of competitions ahead. It’ll be a good move for him considering the fact that he did play much last season  and there’re now much competition for him with Nunez, Luiz Diaz and Diogo Jota in the mix. It’s a good business if Juventus signs him.

"Paul Pogba may return from his injury in 2023 and hence may miss the World Cup. Juventus' plan was for Pogba to undergo surgery in Santa Monica however the recovery time is estimated to take longer than two months. He will see doctors in Turin and France before making a decision. "

Very unlucky for Pogba to potentially not play in the up and coming World Cup. He really likes to represent France but it might not be his year. Unlucky for Juve too and it looks like they are back to the same midfield of rabiot locatelli and mckennie.

There is always the unexpected in football, including injuries to players. Not only in matches, even during the training procession it will always happen.
It's quite disappointing that this just happened, as a result he was threatened not to be able to appear at the biggest football party. Hopefully Pogba can return to play and the recovery time can be faster than predicted.

As it was reported that he would be in danger of missing the world cup later it was everyone's dream but Paul Pogba had to suffer a severe knee injury, indeed this was unfortunate fate when the league was about to start Paul Pogba had the unfortunate fate of having to undergo a serious medical test.

Not only that I think a long absence can also reduce his performance the same as when he was at Manchester United, but still full hope is to recover to buy him back.
But that's what Pogba didn't expect.

Juventus' friendly against Barcelona was amusing to watch. Barcelona was the better side actually but it still ended in a 2-2 draw. We watched a nice duel between Dembele and Kean when it comes to scoring.

The game was good despite Barcelona not winning as I predicted yet they once again proved that they are set for the new season with their outstanding performance and dominance against Juventus. For the performance of Kean and Dembele in the game, I believe they will have a very good start this season because their dribbles and finishing touches are superb and the goals are world-class goals. I believe the 2:2 draw can not be used to rate the team strength because it was a friendly game but we look forward to seeing those good display this new season.

Indeed, friendly matches are not always just a matter of winning or losing. But it seems that many have evolved and made it to win, including myself sometimes like that. I personally saw this match how they played, their readiness to navigate next season. Regardless of losing or winning, they have presented an interesting football to watch.

Juventus are reported to be after Alvaro Morata now. He seems like their priority before the other alternatives. This looks interesting to me because they didn't want to extend his loan contract with Atletico Madrid first. This made me think that they weren't satisfied with his performance and they wanted to end it. Maybe they are going for him again because of not finding a better striker now I don't know. By the way Werner and Martial are also their targets in case they fail in the Morata deal.

Yes, it seems that Juventus is really interested to get Alvaro Morata. He relaly gave promising contribution during the last season in Juventus. This led them want Alvaro Morata to stay again in the club.
But, we also know that Alvaro Morata has stated in the early month that he wants to stay in Atletico Madrid.
https://www.goal.com/en-sa/news/morata-confirms-atletico-madrid-stay-after-end-of-juventus/blt7da7ebbc5e585e1f
So, the expectation from Juventus may be little bit hard. But, this doesn't mean to stop the eager of Juventus to bring him.

Yes, Atletico Madrid seem likely to keep him for next season as well. Luis Suarez has left the team and they don't want to lose another striker. I think that Juventus might end up with Werner. Because he seems to be the most likely player to be signed now. Martial might be kept by Manchester United too because they won't have any striker left in the subs otherwise. However Chelsea seem okay about selling Werner in this transfer window. He also wants to leave.

It has made me really happy to see Dybala signing for a decent team like Roma. Roma are actually getting more than decent now. They are gaining strength for next season and they were successful with Mourinho in the previous one as well. Dybala has played in Italy for a very long time and it is good to see him continuing here. As you said also, Inter might regret indeed as they were also thinking of bringing him not a long time ago. It depends on how he will perform at Roma now to attract the attention of even bigger teams seriously.

I will vote AS Roma become one candidate for getting scudetto next season after success bring Paulo Dybala as free transfer player, still not stop with AS Roma transfer because after Dybala have rumors with Georginio Wijnaldum from PSG coming soon with loan option. If success get star player looks AS Roma most serious and better composition player than last season. I think Dybala have more experience with Serie A from Palermo until with Juventus and next season become part for AS Roma team, will be easy for him because not need adapt again with Serie A and looks he will be potential most contribution for AS Roma next season.

Roma very serious to strengthen their squad and they were very active this summer to get players and Wijnaldum transfer will be done soon and he was loaned 1 year with permanent option at the end of season and besides that Roma also linked to Manchester United player Eric Bailly but i don't know this will be good transfer or not because unless Dybala the players that have been get by Roma so far are only substitutes players in their previous teams and to talking about Serie A title i think it is too early for them but if they can improve their performance i think top 4 is reasonable position for them

Juventus' friendly against Barcelona was really amusing to watch. Barcelona were the better side actually but it still ended in a 2-2 draw. We watched a nice duel between Dembele and Kean when it comes to scoring. Even though Kean seems to be a really good alternative for Vlahovic now, Juventus want to bring another striker for Dybala's place. The biggest candidate is Roberto Firmino for now as I have mentioned before. If we consider that Allegri would prefer a system with two centre-forwards they need an additional player now.

The arrival of Paul Pogba adds to the list of Juventus midfielders, it is likely that Allegri will use two attackers and four midfielders. Although yesterday Juventus play with one striker, but Juventus has prepared at least three potential strikers for next season, Vlahovic, Chiesa and Kean, I realize that is still lacking. And for Juventus defense, after de Ligt left to Munich they managed to bring in Bremer from Torino. Juventus' defense and midfield look ready for next season

It's a realistic position given the players they have now. But will it work as expected or not, that's one of the problems that must be prepared to be able to rotate if something unexpected happens. What they have to create now is the chemistry between the players, if it has been created then their game will be more fluid in my opinion. Their pre-season matches also I think are good enough to train that, because the opponents they face are the favorite teams.

Indeed until now it was only Juventus pre-season match. But they managed to draw against Barcelona, ​​that's pretty good. Barcelona are quite strong they yesterday won 1:0 against madrid. In addition, Moise Kean scored two goals for the Bianconeri. It looks convincing for Serie A preparations. Juve certainly look active for next season, their target is of course to win Seri A again.

At least Juventus are ready for every line so I personally will not doubt it for the new season, because even though one of them will be injured, Juventus still have others who also have good quality. Positions that may be vacant may be filled by young players but Juventus will still involve more senior players and it will be good for a rotation. However, I believe Juventus will be strong in the top ranks and I also hope Juventus can compete further in the Champions League with a squad like this and I think Juventus can do well in all tournaments.

AS Roma transfer activity this season is quite good, the players who have been brought in are very satisfying to the coach. Roma quick movement in the transfer market was a success, Roma managed to land some new ammunition to the Olimpico. So far Roma have brought in Mile Svilar, Zeki Celik, Nemanja Matic and the most phenomenal thing is the success of Roma bringing in Paulo Dybala. Now Roma have to focus on defence, Mourinho needs to bring in defenders to keep his squad balanced. It's meaningless to focus on midfield and attack but in defense it's very fragile.

In the hands of Mourinho will be the start of a new struggle for Roma, victory in the Conference League can encourage Roma players to repeat their success the following season. I don't think Roma can win the Scudetto this season, but Roma will be one of those clubs that makes it difficult for other teams in the top four.

There have been some times that Chiesa played as a centre-forward as well. But this playing time doesn't cover the majority of his performances so far of course. He is mainly a winger now and I expect him to play in that position as long as there is no need for him in the centre-forward position. Kean is a really promising striker now. Vlahovic is a wonderful signing for Juventus and it is really difficult for Kean to take his place in the future considering Vlahovic's determined behaviour.

They may be able to do better than the previous season, but to win the Scudetto then I believe the players that Roma currently have are not necessarily capable of doing it. Juventus, Inter and Milan should have more chances to win the Scudetto, but who knows because we haven't seen how each team performs.

I think Dybala have more experience with Serie A from Palermo until with Juventus and next season become part for AS Roma team, will be easy for him because not need adapt again with Serie A and looks he will be potential most contribution for AS Roma next season.

Dybala is not as great as imagined, he will not be a player who can guarantee many goals but maybe he can help Roma improve their form. I'm not too sure about that but if it's backed by lots of other quality players then maybe Roma will fight well.

[Distraction]

Pogba's injury is very unfortunate for Juventus. Right after they started to be happy about completing the missing piece of the puzzle this happened. Now they will need a midfielder again and they need to keep the ones in the team also. I mentioned ''keeping'' too because Tottenham have an interest in Weston McKennie on one hand. Now Juventus will need him in the absence of Pogba. Therefore I don't expect that transfer to happen anytime soon. Pogba's return date is unknown which is another disappointment for Juventus.

In addition, Moise Kean scored two goals for the Bianconeri. It looks convincing for Serie A preparations. Juve certainly look active for next season, their target is of course to win Seri A again.

Of course barcelona have difficulty in facing juventus, they have to face five midfielders of juventus, Massimiliano Allegri puts Cuadrado, Di María, they have experience without a doubt, plus Locatelli. Juventus look tough in thwarting Barcelona's attacks and troublesome Barcelona's defense. It's a formation that fits perfectly against a club like Barcelona, but I don't expect Allegri to use it in Serie A.
