In the seventh round of the Champions League, Serie A giants Juventus faced off against Club Brugge at home. The Belgian team has a total value of 160 million euros, while Juventus is valued at 610 million euros. Juventus caused an upset. Both teams struggled offensively in this match, creating very few opportunities, and ultimately drew 0-0. Juventus had a chance to score in this game but failed to capitalize on it. Juventus made a mistake! Motta misplaced his trust in the 33 million forward: he missed a half-empty goal and led to a 0-0 draw with Club Brugge. Looking at possession, Juventus led Brugge 57%-43% in this match. Juventus had 5 shots with 1 on target, while Brugge had 7 shots with 0 on target. Neither side posed much of an offensive threat, and Juventus center-back Gatti was named the best player of the match. Since Motta took over, Juventus has become known for draws, with a record of 12 wins, 16 draws, and 2 losses in 30 matches across all competitions this season, giving them a draw rate of as high as 53.3%. Currently, Juventus ranks 14th in the Champions League standings, 5th in Serie A, reached the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, but did not make it to the final of the Supercoppa Italiana. After Motta took charge of Juventus, the team's overall performance has been mediocre. Several new signings brought in by Motta, including Kupmenas, Luis, and Gonzalez, have not proven themselves, resulting in Juventus spending a significant transfer fee without much return. In this match…

A splendid victory! Relying on goals from Timothy Weah and M'Bala M'Bala N'Siangou, Serie A giants Juventus comfortably defeated their old rivals AC Milan 2-0 at home, securing their first victory of 2025 and temporarily surpassing Lazio, who have a game in hand, to rise to fourth place in the league table. In this match, Juventus' new signing Alberto Costa, brought in during the winter transfer window, was included in the squad but unfortunately did not make an appearance. The recovered Dusan Vlahovic was on standby on the bench. Coach Thiago Motta continued to use the 4231 formation, with Mattia Perin guarding the goal, and the four defenders were Weston McKennie, Gleison Bremer, Matthijs de Ligt, and Danilo, who is embroiled in transfer rumors. Manuel Locatelli and Arthur formed the double pivot in midfield, while Federico Chiesa, Paulo Dybala, and M'Bala M'Bala N'Siangou took up the attacking midfield roles, and Alvaro Morata led the line to attack the fortress. In the 7th minute, M'Bala M'Bala N'Siangou made space on the left side of the penalty area with consecutive feints and took a wonderful shot that narrowly missed the target, signaling the start of Juventus' offensive for the whole game. In the 10th minute, AC Milan responded in kind, with Brahim Diaz initiating the attack, and Rafael Leao turned and shot inside the box, which was blocked by Matthijs de Ligt with his body. In the 35th minute, Juventus launched a counterattack, and Federico Chiesa's direct shot from the back post was valiantly saved by Mike Maignan. After the break, Juventus…

Latest News: Arsenal Targets a 7-Goal Striker, Offering a Weekly Salary of £360,000 On January 14th, Beijing time, several famous journalists broke the news that Arsenal is discussing the signing of Vlahovic. DV9? Arsenal? Unbelievable. But overnight, three major journalists simultaneously revealed that there must be some truth to it. ConMarbleHalls: Arsenal is internally discussing the loan action for Dusan Vlahovic. NicoSchira: Arsenal is paying attention to Vlahovic, but has not yet made an offer. However, Arteta has liked him for many years and wanted this Serbian forward before he joined Juventus. Daniele Longo: A one-and-a-half-year contract plus a post-tax annual salary of 12 million. Juventus wants to sell DV9 for 60 million, and Arsenal is interested. In the past two years, Serie A's top scorers have lacked prestige in the football world. Osimhen has been hyped for so long, but no club has offered 100 million to snatch him. The transfer interest is even less than Gakpo's. Lukaku's indecisiveness further proves this point. He couldn't rely on anyone in the Premier League, but became a textbook example of playing with his back to goal in Serie A. Vlahovic, this kind of "top center forward" with expensive transfer fees, high wages, and controversial skills, dares to touch him. Arsenal doesn't care about their lives anymore. This 24-year-old Serbian center forward has obvious advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is good physique and shooting skills. One against six in the hotel, who would dare to say that Vlahovic's physical quality is poor. Here, let me dispel a rumor. The widely circulated video…

The Arsenal team, a Premier League powerhouse, has had an inconsistent performance this season, particularly lacking creativity in their offensive play. After Saka's injury, Jesus, who had just entered his prime form, suffered a severe cruciate ligament injury. Consequently, Arsenal must introduce a forward if they wish to maintain their competitiveness in the second half of the season. According to the famous football media outlet "Goal," Arsenal has made an offer to Juventus, hoping to lease Serbian striker Vlahovic for half a season during the winter window. However, the lease contract does not include a buyout clause. Juventus prefers a one-time buyout, with a psychological price of around 55 million euros. Vlahovic, 25, transferred from Fiorentina to Juventus in the 2022 winter window for 83 million euros. Due to his high scoring rate at Fiorentina, he was called the "new Toni," and his highest value reached 85 million euros. Since joining Juventus, Vlahovic has been the main center forward, having played for Juventus for a total of 3 years, making 124 appearances, scoring 53 goals, and assisting 11 times. Vlahovic is a tall center forward at 1.90 meters, with very comprehensive personal abilities. He excels in headers, interceptions, dribbling, back-to-goal play, and shooting. He can act as a pivot within the penalty area and also participate in organizing attacks outside the area. As Juventus' largest transfer investment in recent years, the team has high hopes for Vlahovic. However, his performance has been lukewarm; although his scoring rate is stable, he has not taken on the role of a core player.…

The winter transfer window is in chaos! At the beginning of January, Juventus' transfer work in the Serie A giants is "thunderous but little rain," with many transfer targets shrouded in mystery, and players on the team's shelves are "difficult to clear," leaving many Juventus fans in confusion. A week ago, the main focus of Juventus' defensive reinforcement was on Hanczko, Antonio Silva, and Tomori, but as time went on, Araujo, Danso, and Vega were also added to this list. The Juventus management, adhering to the principle of "rent before buying," is determined to find one or two best replacements for Bremer for the team this winter. However, in the transfer market, almost everyone now understands that Juventus lacks defenders and will not easily make concessions in transfer negotiations. Araujo has only played once for Barcelona this season, yet his valuation is as high as 55 million euros. If Juventus successfully borrows him, they will first have to bear the Uruguayan's salary of 6 million euros. From the latest transfer trends, Araujo is very interested in moving to Serie A, but the Barcelona management is still hesitating. Despite Araujo's low attendance rate, he remains an important player for the team. The 21-year-old Portuguese defender Vega stands at 1.88 meters tall and can play multiple positions including center-back, full-back, and defensive midfielder. His versatility has impressed the Juventus coaching staff. However, in the transfer market, both Napoli and Marseille are eyeing Vega, and compared to the sincerity of these two clubs, Juventus does not have an advantage. It was somewhat unexpected…

In recent times, Jesus' performance has been quite outstanding, not inferior to the likes of Isak and Salah during the same period, and even stronger than Haaland. In the last four games, the Brazilian striker has scored six goals for Arsenal. However, according to former Arsenal midfielder Petit, Jesus and Martinelli are not doing enough. "Martinelli almost entered the first team at the same time as Saka but has made no progress. Jesus has been performing well recently, but he is not doing enough. Some of Arsenal's current players are not good enough to help the team compete for the championship." With one more game played and six points behind, Arsenal is not without hope, but they need Liverpool to falter while not faltering themselves. During the winter transfer window, Arsenal's owner will continue to give Arteta full support, and this time, they may really buy a powerful center forward. According to journalist Rudy Galetti, Arsenal has identified the 24-year-old Serbian center forward Vlahovic as their top target for the winter window. In the 2020-21 season, Vlahovic scored 21 goals in Serie A for Fiorentina. In January 2022, Juventus spent 83.5 million euros to bring in Vlahovic. According to Italian legendary center forward Vieri, Vlahovic is second only to Haaland among center forwards born after 2000. However, at Juventus, Vlahovic has made little progress, which is also related to the coach's tactics. Motta is not satisfied with him and prefers his old guard from Bologna, the Dutch center forward Zirkzee, who has been like a "dud" at Manchester United this…

Juventus drew again, ending their Serie A match on December 30 with a 2-2 draw against Fiorentina at home. Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram had an outstanding performance, scoring his first goal for Juventus and completing a brace. On the Fiorentina side, Kean scored, and Sottil equalized in the 87th minute. After the game, Juventus fans were disappointed with the team's management. Juventus made a mistake by trusting Vlahovic and letting go of a powerful center forward who has scored 13 goals in 16 games, shining in Serie A. Juventus remains unbeaten in Serie A this season but has drawn too many matches with 7 wins and 11 draws. Currently, Juventus has played one more round than Fiorentina, is level on points with them, and is ranked 6th, 9 points behind the top team Atalanta. Last season under Allegri's leadership, Juventus finished third in Serie A, but after Motta took over, Juventus seems to have regressed in terms of league results. In the match between Juventus and Fiorentina, Juventus' main center forward Vlahovic attempted four shots but failed to score, missing a great chance, with zero dribbles and zero key passes. He was successful in seven out of 18 duels, touched the ball 34 times, lost possession 13 times, and had a pass success rate of only 61%. Kean, who served as a substitute for Vlahovic last season, has shown his abilities this season at Fiorentina. In this match against Juventus, Kean outperformed Vlahovic with one goal and one assist. He scored with a header in the 38th minute, while Vlahovic's…

In the home of Serie A giants Juventus, a highly anticipated Coppa Italia match is about to kick off. This season's inconsistent Juventus will face Cagliari, who are ranked third from the bottom. This match is significant for both teams. Last week, Juventus' home game against Venezia was full of ups and downs. Gatti's goal gave fans hope, but they were quickly followed by two goals from Venezia. It looked like a loss until Vlahovic scored a penalty in stoppage time to secure a 2-2 draw. This match not only exposed defensive issues but also raised concerns about Vlahovic's post-match conflict with fans. One netizen commented: Honestly, Juventus now seems like a giant plagued by an injury curse. The absence of key players like Bremer, Kehrer, and Nico Gonzalez has significantly reduced the team's overall strength. Adding to this is the tension between Vlahovic and the fans, making the team feel like a pot of boiling water that could overflow at any moment. But it is precisely this adversity that truly tests a team's resilience. Juventus' performance this season has indeed been heart-wrenching, with ten draws leaving them sixth in the league, nine points behind Atalanta. However, their 2-0 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League last week showed the potential of this venerable club. Another netizen said: Cagliari is currently like a swimmer struggling in the deep sea; their ranking third from the bottom in the league speaks volumes. Although they managed a surprising draw with Juventus in the first leg this season, it seems more like a…
