Milan and Juventus are currently the top two teams in the Italian league with the Rossoneri ahead by two points but the Serie A champions have played two more matches than their rivals Juventus. Juve's positive run, the club is undefeated this season in official play, is due to a number of factors such as a solid defensive record and a midfield marshaled by veteran Andrea Pirlo with the aid of Claudio Marchisio and Arturo Vidal.

Juventus took an important step towards reaching the Coppa Italia final as a returning Martin Caceres scored a brace to ensure a 2-1 semi-final first leg win over Milan at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. Antonio Conte made changes as noted in the pre-match press conference, with Marco Storari, Caceres, Simone Padoin, Alessandro Del Piero and Marco Borriello all starting in the 3-5-2 formation.

Il primo round se lo aggiudica, con merito, la Juventus di Antonio Conte. La squadra bianconera, nell'andata della prima semifinale di Coppa Italia (questa sera l'altra, Siena-Napoli), espugna San Siro e piega il Milan per 2 a 1, grazie alla doppietta di Caceres, goleador inatteso nella fredda serata meneghina.

It has been an up and down season for Juventus striker Alessandro Matri. There have been times where it seems that every time he touches the ball it ends up in the back of the net while at other times there have long absences of his name on the score sheet. When he is hot, he has been praised uncontrollably, even once being compared as the next David Trezeguet.

Juventus kept up their Serie A title push with a hard fought 2-1 win over title challengers Udinese at the Juventus Arena thanks to a brace by Alessandro Matri. Alessandro Matri was the man of the hour and having given the hosts a 42nd minute lead, the in-form striker then responded by shooting Antonio Conte's [.

Juventus were crowned Serie A Winter Champions after one of their most controlled performances of the season on Saturday night. Atalanta have proven to be tough opposition for any team, especially at home where their only defeat prior was to champions Milan. But, the Bianconeri overcame early frustration to eventually overcome the Nerazzurri with relative ease.

With 41 points from the first 19 matches of the Serie A season, Juventus finds itself with the symbolic label of ‘winter champions' for the first time in six long years. Much of that is down to new manager Antonio Conte (the players themselves have helped a bit as well). The influence of the one-time Juventus captain has been well documented throughout the season.

The noted rent-a-quote astronomer Carl Sagan once said: "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe." After roughly 19 weeks of the 2011-12 Serie A season, I think that we all can be in agreement that Antonio Conte makes the best apple pies from scratch.

Juventus have scored 29 goals in 18 league matches which is not very impressive but by no means is it a disastrous figure considering only two clubs in Serie A have scored more: Milan and Napoli.

The figures do not lie and a closer look reveals the Bianconeri have scored 10 goals in 3 matches meaning the club managed only 19 goals in the other 15 games.

Conte non firma obiettivi minimi, ma a Bergamo cerca una rivincita che varrebbe il primato al giro di boa Di Alessandro Paparella Chiare ed inequivocabili le parole di Antonio Conte nella conferenza stampa di ieri: non avrebbe firmato per obiettivi minimi a inizio stagione, a maggior ragione non lo fa adesso, con la squadra prima in classifica.

Liverpool have been offered Serbia winger Milos Krasic by Juventus.
Krasic is not wanted by new Juve coach Antonio Conte and the Serie A giants have approached Liverpool because ex-boss Rafa Benitez showed interest in him.
Juventus have told the Reds they can have Krasic for the £12million they paid CSKA Moscow for him in 2010.

Juventus will be at home for the first time in 2012 on Sunday when they welcome Cagliari to the Juventus Stadium. Starting the New Year off with more of a whimper than a bang, Juve did manage to take home the three points from Lecce even if it was a struggle. As Antonio Conte stated afterwards, they will look to build from that match and improve their performance.

Antonio Conte has been the driving force of the Juventus revolution with his aggressive 4-3-3 formation. Essential to the attack are the wingers as not only do they offer more of a threat in the attack, they offer support for the striker as well as take attention away from the middle. Conte inherited one of his wingers in the form of Simone Pepe, but the other wing was left vacant.

Antonio Conte, tecnico della Juventus, torna nella sua Lecce (avversario odierno in Serie A), dove è nato il 31 luglio nel 1969. Con la casacca giallorossa dei salentini si è anche affacciato al calcio che conta (scusate il gioco di parole) quando era ancora un adolescente, a sedici anni, il 6 aprile del 1986.

Marco Borriello lascia la Roma e approda alla Juventus. Ancora non è cominciato ufficialmente il Calciomercato di Serie A, ma il centravanti partenopeo, classe 1982, saluta la capitale e la Roma hispano-americana e vola a Torino, nella Signora tutta salentina, quella guidata con fermezza da Antonio Conte.

AC Milan midfielder Alberto Aquilani has insisted that he holds no ill feeling towards Juventus despite not being offered a permanent deal at the Turin club after a season-long spell with the side last season.
The Italy international could have joined Antonio Conte's side at the end of his temporary stay, yet the club did not take up the option to sign him on a permanent deal, resulting in the former Roma man signing for Massimiliano Allegri's men for the 2011-12 campaign.

An interesting statement recently revealed by Milos Krasic's agent, Dejan Joksimovic, stating that the wantaway Juventus winger is being seriously monitored by Chelsea.

The agent also stated that his client most likely will leave his current club because he hasn't been featured in the plan of the Turin giant's new tactician, Antonio Conte.

Another week and another win, as Juventus roll through Novara to keep their unbeaten streak intact. It was always going to be a tall task for Novara as they entered the Juventus stadium and the home team was unfortunate to not score more. Although the visitors did have a few chances, this match was all Juve.

Juventus moved back to the top of Serie A after a 2-0 win over Novara thanks to goals by Pepe and Fabio Quagliarella. The win lifted Antonio Conte's men back to the top of Serie A on 33 points after 15 games, two ahead of second place AC Milan who beat Siena 2-0 at the [...] Related posts:

The return of Juventus as a force in Italian football has coincided with the arrival of Andrea Pirlo on a free transfer and with former club captain Antonio Conte assuming control of coaching duties. Both Pirlo and Conte have been influential in Juve's rise with the former Milan midfielder proving indispensable in several matches while coach Antonio has helped revive the squad's damaged spirit.

Serie A leaders Juventus came from 2 goals down to draw with Napoli at the San Paolo stadium in a enthralling Serie A fixture last night.

Juventus came from 3-1 down to grab an unlikely 3-3 draw with Napoli at the San Paolo to remain top of Serie A and preserve their unbeaten start to the season. In a match which smashed all the stereotypes about ‘boring Italian football', two of Serie A's high flying sides put on a thrilling display [.

Following the big win on Saturday at Lazio, there has been a lot of talk about game winner Simone Pepe. A year ago there was a giant question mark in the minds of Juventini about the arrival of the Italian international on loan from Udinese. His career prior to Juventus had been one of uncertainty, as the winger had bounced around for most of his youth until finally stringing a few years together.

Juventus moved back to the top of Serie A after a well deserved 1-0 win over Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico thanks to Pepe's first-half strike. In what was dubbed a potential early 'title decider', it was Antonio Conte's men who grabbed the honours although hosts Lazio will feel a tad unlucky having twice struck [.

Joint leaders atop Italian Serie A going into this weekend, managers Eddy Reja and Antonio Conte both knew this was going to be a huge test of their scudetto potential.

Two title contenders will be squaring off this Saturday in Rome as Juventus travel to Lazio. The two clubs are currently sitting at the top of the table with 22 points a side, and they are arguably the two most in form clubs at the moment in Serie A. Coming into this match, Juventus are the only unbeaten side in Italy with 6 wins and 4 draws.

Reports in the English media have consistently linked unsettled Juventus forward Amauri with a move to the Barclays Premier League in January.

The player's agent has added fuel to the fire by saying that there is a '70 percent' chance of him moving to England in January, compared to much lower odds of considering further stay in the Serie A.

Juventus powered themselves to the top of Serie A after a superb 3-0 win over Palermo thanks to goals by Simone Pepe, Alessandro Matri and Claudio Marchisio. Playing with the conviction of potential champions, Juve tore into visitors Palermo before recording a fine 3-0 win. The victory puts Antonio Conte's men at the summit of [.

In the last year he was one of the best player for Juventus, but the advent of Antonio Conte's era at Juventus seems to have stopped the rising of Milos Krasic in the club.

When he arrived in Italy in the last year he was received by Juventus fans as the "New Nedved", both for his role in the field (left wing) and for his moves which are very similar to those of former Juventus and Lazio player.

Serie A Weekly welcomes new writer Matthew Coccoluto to our pages from week to week. Once again the Derby D'Italia proved to be a good one as Juventus came away from the San Siro with all three points. Prior to this week, Inter had managed to win only two games while losing an astonishing four. Juventus were coming off a mid-week win against Fiorentina, their second win in the last five games.

While everyone else with the club was busy with the Derby d'Italia this weekend (and successfully so), a few poor souls in the tech department were busy with Photoshop and some age-predicting software in the case of Andrea Pirlo. The result is some Halloween images of their frightening employees of prominence.

The first thing Andrea Pirlo must've said when he saw that bizzare photo above was : "è che un lupo mannaro con meno capelli?!" (is that a werewolf with lesser hair?). What else is this Halloween Juventus extravaganza supposed to be about, if doesn't involve their own coach, Antonio Conte, dressed up in a Count Dracula suit?

Goals by Mirko Vucinic and Claudio Marchisio gave Juventus a priceless 2-1 victory over Inter Milan in the Derby D'Italia as Antonio Conte's men sent out a warning to the rest of Serie A.
