Gak ngerti apa arti dari bahasa ini mas, tapi yang terpenting sih JUVE bisa
terus melaju di serie B agar bisa promosi ke Serie A, tempat yang layak buat
Juve.
Tapi gua juga mau curhat nih, semenjak juve ke serie B gak ada yang bisa
tonton. Nah, jadinya gua afirmasikan untuk beralih sementara waktu untuk
mendukung Man United baik di Premier maupun ECL. Gak pa pa ya mas, gak marah
kan???

A sell-out crowd was promised at the Marassi tonight for the eagerly
anticipated promotion showdown between Genoa and Juventus. While the Rossoblù
were looking to get their promising season back on course, a win tonight for
the Bianconeri would see them claim top spot for the first time this term.
With Del Piero, Trezeguet, Zanetti and several other big names still
unavailable through injury, coach Didier Deschamps kept faith in the
youngsters who crafted the magnificent turn around against Lecce six days go.
Last week's goal scorers Palladino and Bojinov were paired in attack for the
second game in a row, while Marchisio retained his place in the centre of
midfield. Gigi Buffon, who received the Fifpro award for world's best
goalkeeper (as voted for by 43000 professionals across the globe) before
kick-off, returned to the Juventus line-up after serving his one match
suspension. The evening also saw Gianluca Pessotto take his post as Bianconeri
team manager
for the very first time.
The game kicked-off with a high tempo. Neither side were holding back,
throwing men forward early on in search of the opening goal. In just the 4th
minute, the Bianconeri had a goal ruled out for off-side. Genoa failed to deal
with a Juventus corner, clearing the ball only as far as Marchisio on the edge
of the box. The midfielder drove the ball back towards goal and Palladino got
a foot to it, diverting Marchisio's effort into the back of the net. The
striker's celebrations were cut short though by the linesman's flag raised on
the far side. Genoa were full of running and Buffon did well to deny Coppola
in the 7th minute, parrying the midfielder's effort wide for a corner.
Camoranesi came close to opening the scoring two minutes later, pouncing on a
mistake by Fabiano in the Genoa penalty area, but Barasso was there to save
his powerful right-footed effort. The pace of the game was relentless as the
Rossoblù threw men forward in search of a goal. It took
some strong defending from the Bianconeri to keep the home side out but on
the half hour mark, Genoa were inches away from taking the lead. Fabiano
crossed in from the left and it took a last minute intervention from
Balzaretti to deflect Adailton's header over the bar. Genoa won a penalty from
the resulting corner after Longo went down in the box. With 35 000 eyes
willing the ball in, Buffon rose to the challenge, tipping Adailton's effort
onto his left post and making the take second time round. Juventus looked to
work their way back into the game with Palladino and Bojinov combining well in
the final third but Genoa kept their cool at the back. At the other end,
Fabiano and Adailton both came close as the half drew to a close but the two
teams entered the tunnel at the break with clean sheets to their name.
The second half began in rather less frenetic style. Genoa were sitting
deeper than they were in the first period, giving the Bianconeri more time to
get their passing game going. Juventus were controlling possession but it was
Genoa who drew the first blood of the half, Coppola forcing a fine save from
Buffon with a powerful left-footed effort in the 53rd minute. The Bianconeri
began to increase the pressure and in the 66th minute Bojinov wrestled the
ball from De Rosa and thumped the ball towards goal with his right-boot.
Berasso made a great save to deny him the opener and three minutes later, it
was Genoa's turn to set pulses racing, Adailton heading just wide from a
Greco cross. In the 70th minute, the Genoa number one was there again to parry
a dangerous header from Nedved, but his luck ran out a minute later. Nedved
was fouled on the left edge of the box and he made no mistake with the
resulting set-piece, firing the ball into the far corner of the
goal to give Juventus the lead (0-1). The Bianconeri's advantage lasted just
three minutes, Juric equalising for the home side with a clever finish after
latching onto a Greco flick-on (1-1). The goal completely changed the
complexion of the game as both sides upped the tempo. Juventus began to
dominate and in the 80th minute, Nedved came close to adding a second, firing
a powerful effort just wide of the left post. Genoa were threatening on the
counter but as the clock wound down it was the Bianconeri who looked most
likely to secure the win, hammering away repeatedly at the Genoa back line.
The Rossoblù held firm though, and the away side's frustrations culminated in
a sending-off for Nedved right at the death. Juventus were forced to play out
the remaining seconds with ten men before referee Farina finally brought
proceedings to a halt.

Deschamps comments :
"It was a good game for the spectators against a quality Genoa outfit. We
had a few difficulties in the first half but in the end we created a lot of
chances. My only regret is conceding so soon after taking the lead". Didier
Deschamps was satisfied with the point his team earned at the Marassi against
one of the championship's top sides. "Genoa deserve credit. They created a lot
and they showed great movement. Over half their team have what it takes to
play at the top level. It was an open game and there could have been more
goals but overall it was a good result for us".
The point gives Juventus a share of the lead alongside Napoli. "It was hard
to think we'd be top two months ago but we deserve to be here and today we
confirmed the great start we've made. We might be in first place but it's only
for tonight, the others play tomorrow. There's a long way to go yet and the
most important thing is to be there at the end of the season".
