That is our new home kit 2015/2016. Who is the third guy though!?

[dronte]

I thought that's Dybala, might be wrong though

[salmano9]

Most people say Morata but it doesn't look like it

[salmano9]

It's RUGANI biatches!!

[dronte]

Don't think so. Rugani is much more baby-faced and his hair is different (looks kinda British by the way). I still think it's Dybala

[BoBo]

Morata is my guess too as it makes sense but it could be Rugani and Dybala as well but it looks like none of all 3. his left ear says its Morata

Nice shirts by the way i thought they would be awfull. but of course it helps to have the scudetto coppa and 3 stars on.

[juvealbanian]

Lol that's Morata for sure...home kit is always great

Our away shirt will be pink and I don't like it,especially that ugly Jeep sponsor.

[GIGItheBest]

I'm pretty sure it's Morata.

[DeviAngel]

Its Morata he confirmed on FB

[elm_baraja_shaman]

fingers crossed my boy Coman will be unleashed next season especially with a rumored 4-3-2-1/4-3-3

[salmano9]

Lol it looks nothing like morata!

[RealGunner]

Are there only 3 friendlies?

[salmano9]

Yep, this is what has been plannrd . We have the supercopp 1 week later.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Surprised we're not whoring ourselves out in a foriegn country, especially after such a great CL campaign. Then again we're awful in pre-season so that's fine by me.

[salmano9]

Was suarez here? LOL

It looks like part of his ear was bitten off hahahahaha.

Tomorrow at 19:05 Borussia Dortmund vs. Juventus

Can't wait to see our new players

[salmano9]

Can't wait till I see what formation he will use with the new sexy players

[salmano9]

The match yesterday was a pretty good test for us despite the loss. We saw allegri play 4321 with dybala morata and mandzukic up front. Borussia played much better because they had more time to prepare and they played for preseason friendlies than us until this stage. Dybala certainly is gifted and hopefully will explode. The attack needs to develop its chemistry for sure. Mandzukic wasn't fed well, as that it is why we haven't seen anything from him except a missed header with a cross from dybala in an fk position. Zaza did nothing impressive too.

[juvealbanian]

Test,that's how I would describe it.Apart from Buffon and Neto who were spectacular other players clearly need more preparation.

We lost Tevez but our attack has more options now and we don't have to depend on a player anymore.
Morata and Pogba were in good shape,Dybala was good on the ball but he needs to get a bit stronger imo
I liked the fighting spirit of the new guy Tello,he was pressing them like crazy and moved constantly all over the midfield.

If we get that new trequartista we will have the most creative attack in years

[Tomwin Lannister]

Pre-season results mean literally nothing but I wish we'd stop playing teams who are practically ready for the new season when we ourselves aren't even fit enough to play 1 half at high intensity.

Why can't we prepare in pre-season without letting our squad come back from holiday just to get dicked on by a physically superior team. Unless it's a big money tour which I understand, this is just pointless.

Juventus switch to a 3-5-2 shape for the friendly with Lechia Gdansk, with Simone Zaza and Daniele Rugani starting.

The Bianconeri face the Polish side for their second friendly of pre-season, with Rugani handed a starting shirt on his 21st birthday.

Following defeat to Borussia Dortmund, new signing Sami Khedira comes into the side, having missed the previous match with injury.

Simone Zaza and Paulo Dybala lead the line, as Coach Massimiliano Allegri deploys the 3-5-2 formation he alternated with 4-3-1-2 in the previous campaign.

Juventus: Buffon; Rugani, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Sturaro, Khedira, Pogba, Padoin; Dybala, Zaza.

Juventus subs: Neto, Audero, Caceres, Marchisio, Morata, Mandzukic, Evra, Macek, Vitale, Clemenza, Parodi, Tello, Cerri, Vadala.

Lechia Gdansk: Budzilek; Rudinilson, Lukasik, Mak, Wisniewski; Dzwigala, Haraslin, Pawlowski, Chrzanowski; Markovic, Stolarski.

Lechia Gdansk subs: Bak, Janicki, Wawrzyniak, Mila, Nazario, Makuszewski, Borysiuk, Buksa, Vranjes, Maloca, Macierzynski, Gierszewski, Kuswik.
