Marko Pjaca #20

:fap: :fap: :fap:

We should have a fap emoticon....

one of the worst transfers of the season so far

20m

will monitor how he does when he's loaned out to pescara and the like

Was injured for like 3 months u pleb

Gonna wreak havoc this year though I'm sure IMO

I really like Pjaca. He'll be the new Perisic probably even better. Very good buy IMO. Wait till he gets his first goal.. the rest will be history.

Allegri on Pjaca after the last game

Not a direct translation since its a video and I don't feel like watching a bunch of times to get it word by word.

"With Pjaca like with the kids, we must follow him and make him grow.

we must have patience, Pjaca is a guy who is an important player. Great technical qualities, he passes the ball in an extraordinary way. But he must grow.

He must grow because on top of the big injury he had, he came from a league where the physical and technical demands are practically null for a player like him. He arrived in a championship where there is physicality, there are tactics, there is the obligation, at Juve, to win.

He has all the qualities to do it. He must be sharp on training and matches. Today he was very alert on the defensive phase. He must continue and find this equilibrium. He will find it because he has all the qualities to do so."

Good words. This will keep Pjaca working hard. This is what he needs.

Pjaca got injured and his hands were on his face. Seems like a bad injurt that will keep him out for a long time

Bad news for Juventus. In addition to the ugly ko Croatia 3-0 in Tallinn for Estonia's hand in today's friendly match (goal Luts, Vassiljev and Zenjov), the outside of Juventus Marko Pjaca came out on a stretcher 65 'for a knee problem after a recovery attempt, with no contact with opponents. In the next few hours there will be updates of the case. But it does not seem an injury minor. The young talent has left the field with hands on face.

ACL tear, season is over for Pjaca. ffs.

Now we basically don't have subs in attack except for Kean. System change incoming again?

3 man midfield when needed to rest cuadrado. We got Sturaro available when needed.

As for Pjaca, is his career at Juve over?

Its too early to give up on him but we won't see him for a long time.

Dybala is recovering from an injury and I think Khedira as well right? with two 2 Napoli games coming up and then Barca this is gonna be terrible. We won't win them all, Allegri needs to rest a bunch of players in the Coppa and against Chievo.

Time for the 3-5-2 to come back for some of these games.

I'd put Marchisio behind Higuain and Dybala and Cuadrado flanking him, and keep Pjanic and Khedira as pivots. Moreover, I'm not comfortable with Sturaro against Barcelona or Napoli, I'd put Rincon instead.

Damn it. We lost key players during internationals and we have a busy schedule ahead.We gonna play every 3 days.Hopefully we'll be lucky not to lose more players.

As for Pjaca it couldn't have gone worse.Now that we needed players to rotate he gets injured badly.
We never know if he will be back unaffected in this next performances by this injury.
I think it's over for him at Juve.We are going to buy a top LW and if he doesn't recover in time we'll replace him or simply keep Mandzukic as well for LW meaning this guy is gonna end up as 3rd choice.

Hope all goes against what I said but that's what I think will happen right now.

Lets give Kean, Rincon and Sturaro a bunch of play time. I would even play Alves and Sandro on the wings some times just to rest some forwards. Or simply go back to the 3-5-2 and grind it out.

We have 8 points on Roma right now, it might get reduced to like 4 points in the next few games since they play Empoli and Bologna; while we play Napoli and Chievo thinking about Barca.

Dangerous times ahead, specially if we progress on the CL.

Beh no man don't be so pessimistic, were gonna tie Napoli in Serie A, maybe tie or lose 1-0 in Coppa Italia, and obviously beat Chievo at Home... we'll be alright, just hope there will be no more injuries

With or without Pjaca we are one step above Napoli, i don't expect us to get wrecked just because we use Sturaro on the left instead of Mandzukic.

What matters the most is the Champions League and what matters the least is the Coppa Italia. In fact, Serie A is the most important but 8 points ahead of 2nd place Roma is enough to cover our back until this streak of games ends.

I expect Allegri to display our best possible line-up vs Barca on April 11th. Until then it will be fatigue management. Pjaca's injury only is sad but not a major concern, the guy started like 5 times this season. 2 matches at San Paolo is not an ideal scenario but Higuain got this. Not worried about Chievo in the slightest.

I mean dropping points because we should focus on CL, not because Napoli is better than us.

Khedira got a knock with the NT. Marchisio and Chiellini were just recovering. Dybala wasn't fit to play for Argentina. Kean got injured. Pjaca got injured.

The only ones that are fully fit outside the defense are Higuain, Pjanic and Cuadrado. Everyone else is shaky or out.

Now we have 6 games in 18 days, 2 of which are against Napoli, 2 against Barcelona. We will not win every game, specially as we should focus on CL.

Now Mandzukic is in doubt for the next game as well.

Sturaro will play on the left, Allegri said that he likes what sturaro can bring to the team on the positions plus here's a GREAT READ on our tactics

Dalla Croazia, infatti, arrivano frasi preoccupanti per la
Juventus da parte di Boris Nemec, responsabile dello staff medico della nazionale, il primo ad aver visitato Marko Pjaca dopo l'infortunio in Estonia. "Dopo lesioni di questo tipo il 55% dei calciatori torna come prima, ma c'è un 45% di possibilità che questo non accada" dice Nemec al portale 24 Sata,


Croatia medic says there is a 55% chance Pjaca will be back as before
It's really serious unfortunately.

Named to the Croatia squad (among the reserves), for the World Cup Playoffs coming up

Seems a bit strange

Marko Pjaca could reportedly be loaned out in January as the winger is still not ready to return for Juventus.

According to Calciomercato.com, Pjaca will not play for Juve’s Primavera team on Friday, despite being expected to do so.

The 22-year-old has not appeared for the Bianconeri since March, when he damaged knee ligaments, and the website notes there are also doubts about his mental state.

Those factors, coupled with the increasing lack of space in the Old Lady’s attack, would therefore leave Pjaca on the periphery.

Calciomercato adds the €23m arrival from Dinamo Zagreb last year needs to prove his ‘suitability’ to Juve again, at a club that “he can find time and space to grow.”

Pjaca was linked with Fiorentina over the summer, as part of the transfer that took Federico Bernardeschi to Turin

=========================

Could be the best thing for him. It's bittersweet for me, I think he's a special player and I want him to succeed and succeed with Juventus but for that to happen with the attacking players we have now it means someone else has to fail.

With Wingdzukic, Douglas, Bern, Cuadrado, how is a 22 year old Pjaca returning from ACL injury with 19 Juve appearances to his name supposed to compete with this cast? It's a different class that we are working with compared with last season

Krasic lvl flop, worst even since Krasic looked legit briefly

Was quite good before he tore his ACL, lets not talk about it as if thats not a serious deal. He's just 22 still.

Pjaca looked so good. If he needs to go play regularly somewhere else to grow, then please let's do that. Loan him to Bologna or Fiore and let him play and see if shines.

He is gonna be out 7th choice forward otherwise.
