10am
With glorious summer sunshine continuing to sweep across the Val d’Aosta region, Juventus return to training after yesterday’s first pre-season run-out against Aygreville.
Those who figured for the initial 45 minutes in the 7-1 win are first out on the training ground, with Antonio Conte running through tactical scenarios and offering guidance on the particular movements desired.
The remaining Bianconeri replace their team-mates after an hour to conduct a similar workout.
Joining up with his team-mates for the first time is midfielder Michele Pazienza, who begins his pre-season programme with fitness work.
11.30am
There’s encouraging news for Juve fans as Arturo Vidal pours cold water over rumours linking him with a move away from Turin.
The combative midfielder’s strong displays at Juventus have understandably drawn admiring glances from elsewhere, but he expresses his full commitment to the club.
“When I’m on the pitch I wear my heart on my sleeve,” he says. “This is why I think the fans appreciate me more and it’s nice they’ve taken to me. Approaches from other clubs? They don't interest me. I’m perfectly happy at Juventus.”
5pm
No press conference today, so it’s straight back to the action at Stadio Brunod.
Conte continues to ramp up both the intensity and frequency of his tactical sessions, with this afternoon proving no exception.
But before the manager fine tunes his game plan, he watches an impressive Fabio Quagliarella thrill the fans with a first-rate performance.
First, the striker gives Nicola Leali no chance with a rasping drive into the top corner, before clipping in a pinpoint cross which is cleanly dispatched by Primavera forward Stefano Padovan .
7.30pm
Paolo De Ceglie steps up onto the stage to receive the adulation of the Bianconeri support in this evening’s Summer Village interview.
The 25-year-old, who hails from Val d’Aosta, is clearly relishing being back on home soil.
“Every day is a great feeling,” he says. “Yesterday I played in front of my grandmother and many family members who have yet to come to Turin. I’m proud to be able to wear the shirt of my boyhood team.”
