Juventus, Vlahovic’s first goal of the season

First friendly in the family for Juventus, first goal of the season signed by Dusan Vlahovic. The mixed ranks match ended 1-1, which involved players from the first team and the young players of the Next Gen joined by Allegri’s group. Under the watchful eye of Calvo and of course the president Ferrero, on the sidelines and who spent a long time with the coach, the bianconeri gave away 45′ typically summer minutes, with low rhythms but also some good plays, to the over 540 spectators present at the first appointment open to the public. Iling-Junior responded a few seconds after Vlahovic’s goal, which made it his only chance in the whole game: the Serbian’s goal was with his left foot, the Englishman’s response with his right foot. Giuntoli was not present, probably busy on the market: we will still have to wait for the official christening of the new manager of the sports area.

The arrival of Rabiot, the applause for Danilo

In addition to the internationals who will return next week (Bonucci, Chiesa, Cambiaso, Frabotta, Rovella, McKennie, Miretti, Weah), Rabiot and Danilo also did not take part in the friendly: the Frenchman lingered on the sidelines to watch the match alongside the new captain, welcomed by the fans with the classic chant dedicated to those wearing the armband. Fagioli and Pogba continued their individual work, then went to the sidelines, while Kean carried out his program to then enter the game in progress in place of Vlahovic. The centre-forward was one of the most acclaimed by the public, almost as if to sweep away market rumors that they would like him to leave: he responded to the affection of his fans with the opening goal.

The first Juventus

Allegri, who entertained himself under the tent on the sidelines before taking a seat on the bench, lined up a 3-5-2 in his first outing of the season: in front of Szczesny he lined up De Winter, Bremer and Alex Sandro, with Kostic and Barbieri on the side lanes, Locatelli, Sersanti and Ranocchia behind Vlahovic and Milik, author of the back-heel assist for his department mate. On the other hand, space for the young players, with the additions of Perin in goal, Gatti and Rugani in defense together with Hujisen, Soulé and Iling-Junior on the wings with Nicolussi Caviglia and Barrenechea behind Yildiz attacking midfielder, Cerri and Mancini. The Next Gen team made the best impressions, creating four goals by engaging Szczesny, but the play that led to the First Team’s lead was valuable. One week after leaving for the United States, Juventus has resumed training: next week, with the return of the internationals, the season can be built while waiting for the market to change the face of the team again.
