UEFA Champions League: Clubs Kick Against New Reforms

At least 15 Serie A clubs, have come out against the European Club Association’s controversial plans to reform the Champions League, which are being backed by Italian giants Juventus, Gazetta Dello Sport reports. Juventus president, Andrea Agnelli, who is also president of the ECA, last week defended plans to reform the Champions League, as an attempt to save smaller clubs from “the protectionism of the big five leagues”. The ECA has proposed a competition made up of 128 teams in three divisions. The top division would be made up of four groups of eight teams, with the top six in each qualifying for the following edition, regardless of where they finish in their domestic leagues. But the 15 Serie A teams opposing it, believe the plans could lead to a decrease of as much as 35...

Del Piero Says Dybala “Has Everything To Stay At Juventus For Life”

The Argentine forward inherited the number 10 shirt this summer, and Pinturicchio is perhaps its most celebrated wearer. “I’m so happy,” Del Piero told Gazzetta dello Sport when asked about Dybala. “The 10 wasn’t really my property: before me Robi Baggio, [Omar] Sivori and [Michel] Platini had worn it. And now there’s a superstar who has everything to stay at Juve for life, if he wants to. “He’s raised his level even further at the start of this season, he’s doing exciting things. I’m not just talking about goals, I’m talking about how he can decide matches when he turns it on. He also has rare moral qualities. “I hope he can find what I did in Turin, because no-one can enter the hearts of the fans like him.” Del Piero spent 19 years with the Bianconeri, even going down to Serie B aft...

Juventus Director Marotta: UCL Final Is The Maximum Target

This is the first match since the 3-0 Champions League defeat at the hands of Barcelona at Camp Nou. “Issues are probably both tactical and psychological. It was clearly not a perfect performance. We were more than decent in the first half, then below par in the second, but one must also take into account the quality of the opponent,” Marotta told Mediaset Premium. Mattia De Sciglio has been ruled out by an ankle injury and tomorrow will have tests for micro-fractures, which makes it particularly awkward with Stephan Lichtsteiner off the Champions League squad. “We don’t have a player who was important for the number of games we were going to face, but we have a large squad and eclectic players who can adapt to that role. “Another player, Benedikt Howedes, was also injured against Barc...

Dybala Doesn’t Think The Sale Of Neymar will Affect Barca – “They’re Always Barça”

The Bianconeri beat the Catalans 3-0 on aggregate in last season’s Champions League, and the Blaugrana lost one of their star men to Paris Saint-Germain this summer. “Barça lost an important player in Neymar, but they’ve replaced him with other important players,” Dybala cautioned, sitting alongside Coach Max Allegri in the pre-match Press conference. “Aside from that they’re always Barça, they have to be respected for what they are: the history, the name, the fame. “Since the start of the league season they haven’t conceded any goals in this stadium [Camp Nou], so we’ll have to take advantage as much as possible when we have the ball. “We’ll also need to try and defend together, because they have players who can hurt us if they’re left free.” Dybala is known to be a huge admirer of L...

The 20 Serie A Clubs Have Failed To Agree On A New Lega President

The clubs came together for their annual meeting today, with one of the items on the agenda being a replacement for Maurizio Berretta, who stepped down as Lega Serie A chief in April. Juventus President Andrea Agnelli and Lazio patron Claudio Lotito were pushing the candidacy of Marco Brunelli, who is currently the general manager, but 15 votes were needed to pass. The clubs failed to come to the necessary agreement, so the appointment of a new President and all other nominations have been postponed for what Gazzetta dello Sport expects to be around 12 days. The clubs are still waiting to vote on the statute, and have been locked in discussions for the past four hours at the meeting in Milan.
