Juventus 3 – Bodø/Glimt 2: Initial reaction and random observations

The message was clear from the traveling fans as Juventus walked off the field at halftime down 1-0 to Bodø/Glimt on a frigid Tuesday night in Norway: “Tirate fuori gli attributi.” You probably don’t have to be all that fluent in Italian to get the gist of what was bend that very understandable statement from […]

The Daily Zona Mista: Tuesday, Nov. 25

It’s the Tuesday edition of the Zona Mista, everybody! It’s also game day — which could end up being a very happy or an incredibly frustrating time a few hours from now. But before we think about all of the possibilities that come with that, there’s a little time to kill before we see Juve […]

Champions League Preview: Juventus vs. Bodø/Glimt

The last time Juventus jumped back into the Champions League, they were coming off an encouraging debut under their new manager where you could hopefully see them build off those positives that were displayed just a a few short days earlier. This time around, as Luciano Spalletti gets set for his second adventure into Europe […]

The Daily Zona Mista: Monday, Nov. 24

Well, it’s Monday. And it’s a Monday after there were some rather interesting results in Serie A. (Of course, as we are all well aware of, Juventus was not part of that group.) It was busy weekend in Italy — as one might have expected knowing full well what was on the schedule. There’s a […]

Le Pagelle: Juventus vs. Fiorentina

Juventus’ first match out of the international break was a severe disappointment. They created little, and while they prevented Fiorentina from creating a whole lot of anything in turn, a mistake from one of their most reliable players over the last season-and-a-half doomed them to yet another draw. The 1-1 result was their third straight, […]

Juventus bog down in Florence, slip to another draw vs. Fiorentina

Of all the surprises that Serie A have provided this season, the travails of Fiorentina have to be one of the biggest. In the last three years, La Viola had been to two UEFA Conference League finals and a semifinal, and last season finished only five points out of the top four. But the departure […]

Juventus 1 – Fiorentina 1: Initial reaction and random observations

Well, at least Luciano Spalletti has found some continuity with his new squad. The problem is that the continuity has involved the same kind of results that they guy he replaced was getting.

Round 12: Juventus vs. Fiorentina match preview

A whole lot has happened since the last time Juventus and Fiorentina played each other back in March. So much that it’s almost leaving you in the kind of thought process where you’re probably bound to forget something or just suddenly go “Oh, right! That happened, too!” It’s the kind of situation at each club […]

Rival Q&A: Talking Juventus-Fiorentina with Viola Nation

Juventus return from the final international break of the 2025 calendar year this Saturday with a trip to Florence. Both Juve and Fiorentina — a club that, rumor has it, doesn’t like the Old Lady from Turin all that much! — have already made managerial changes as they’ve dealt with their own unique sets of […]

The Daily Zona Mista: Friday, Nov. 21

We have, once more, gotten to the end of the work week. It’s Friday, my friends — and that means it’s time to celebrate because you’re just one day (or a few short hours) away from the weekend officially beginning. So why wait around with any more preamble? Let’s get to the links. Italy’s road […]

Can Luciano Spalletti take Kenan Yıldız to the next level?

Alessandro Del Piero. Paul Pogba. Paulo Dybala. Carlos Tevez. Michel Platini. Roberto Baggio. What do these players all have in common? They all enchanted Juventus supporters with their nifty footwork, dynamic movement, heroic big-game contributions, scintillating goals, and they all wore the No. 10 for Juve. There isn’t a single number that carries as much […]

The Daily Zona Mista: Thursday, Nov. 20

Hey, everybody! It’s Thursday! You know what that means? Well, it means two things: For one, we’re two days away from the weekend — and that’s always a good thing. Plus, we’re two days away from Juventus being officially back from the international break — which, you know, isn’t always a good thing these days. […]

Juventus Women deliver dream first half vs. OL Lyonnes, but can’t hold on for win

There is regret, and then there’s probably what the Juventus women are feeling after what could have been a signature win on the season — or even the last few years — slipped away on Wednesday. Juventus Women put forward a first-half effort that was, in a word, stunning. Against a true European giant in […]

The Daily Zona Mista: Wednesday, Nov. 19

Welcome back to another Hump Day edition of the Zona Mista. As you might expect, with this being the final few days of the November international break, there’s a whole lot of international football going on over the last few days. With it has come plenty of qualification stories — big nations to make it […]

The Daily Zona Mista: Tuesday, Nov. 18

It’s Tuesday, and that means the Zona Mista has already got a Case of the Mondays out of the way. We’re ready to attack Day 2 of the week, and that means we’re also one day closer to Juventus returning to the field. Now let’s just hope for no more injury scares — especially for […]

Report: Juventus rule out Vlahovic injury, but status to face Fiorentina still unclear

With the start of the new week, Dusan Vlahovic has made his way back to Turin following Serbia’s final two World Cup qualifiers in which they were officially eliminated from taking part in next summer’s tournament. The first stop, as you probably guessed, was over to J Medical to find out the extent of the […]

The Daily Zona Mista: Monday, Nov. 17

Welcome to a brand new work week. And congratulations for getting through whatever the heck the Italian national team decided to do after going up 1-0 against Norway because that was … yeah, that was something all right. Sure, Italy was never going to get a win by nine goals that they needed to automatically […]
