Probably a bit Too Late for Juventus to Start Scoring Now
Antonio Conte saw his team win their first match in a month, after four consecutive draws in the league and only three goals scored. Juventus lost their grip on the top spot in the Serie A and slowly slipped four points behind AC Milan, who have come together, with a refreshed Zlatan Ibrahimovic, just in time. The 5-0 away win over Fiorentina might be too late, despite the 10 matches still left to play.

Nocerino and Matri Split Serie A Match of the Season (AC Milan vs Juventus)
Antonio Nocerino scored off of Bonucci’s terrible mistake, while Muntari’s legal goal was seen by everyone but the officials. Alessandro Matri scored twice, but only one of them was counted, as AC Milan and Juventus ended their match of the seasons in a 1-1 draw, leaving Milan one point ahead of Juve but the Bianconeri with a game in hand.

Back on Track (Juventus vs Catania)
Juventus put their two consecutive 0-0 draws behind them, coming back from an early 1-0 deficit against Catania to reclaim the Serie A number 1 spot with a 3-1 win after goals from Andrea Pirlo, Giorgio Chiellini and Fabio Quagliarella.

Juventus and Predicting in the Serie A
Back on top, but not impressing. Alessandro Matri is back, and scoring goals quite freely. Is he the best Italian striker out there? Better than Giueseppe Rossi, out there at struggling Villareal? Is he the man to lead Juventus into a new age of glory and prosperity, with Antonio Conte to guide him and the hungry for success club?

No Respect for Alessandro Del Piero
At 36, Alessandro Del Piero, Juventus’ all time leading goal scorer and most capped player, who has been with this club since 1993, who has won five (or seven) Serie A titles with the club, one Champions League title, and probably more importantly, went down to Serie B with the club in 2006-2007, needs to be shown the way out by club president.
