The most remarkable thing I get from this game is how astounding is the amount of rage and envy Juve faces from entire Italy, game after game.

Once again, the local team battled Juve and players seemed to be playing for their own lives. It's really impressive. I don't see this happening in no other country. Such aggressive attitude from smaller local teams and fans.

Juve's players bus (called "Puma" by Italians) was once again battered by local retardeds who threw rocks, released some kind of gas and stuff against the bus. From freaking Catania fans. WTF!

I'd say Juve is the most hated team within its own country in the whole world. There is no Italian football without Juventus, and that's where most of the hate comes from. But there's no other relevant football country where all the rage is focused against just one team. In Germany, Bayern definitely does not suffer the same hate at all. This is not only about football dominance.

It's about honesty. Farsopoli. And regional rivalry. And lots and lots of envy steaming from Italians hotheads.

What these players are doing is just remarkable. They have to face a war every single game, mainly games away, and their mental and physical toughness is remarkable.

We'll definitely need to improve the squad for next season, and Conte will need to rotate more. But what these guys are doing is just amazing. I don't give a shit about how poorly Juve is playing. These players are warriors. They are enduring so much more hardship when playing away than any other team.

I think this destructive approach from all non-Juve fans (all of them anti-juventinos - maybe except for part of the Milan fans) is nearing madness. I don't see how it could be good for Italian football.

But I know that it's a good sign. The more we win, the more they hate. Let it keep coming

Well said, there is no way that team would be last if they played like they did last night. Half their players were cramping up due to the effort.

Another unconvincing performance, and another 3 points :tup:

As long as we are winning we can't complain. However, we will have to step up our game against Parma and against Lyon in the EL; No doubt about it!

These teams that come out and press high cannot sustain that level of pressure for 90 minutes because they rarely ever do it, so their fitness levels won't allow for it.
I think they believe they can nick a goal and then sit back and hope to soak up pressure. Solid unspectacular win, I do love 1-0s.

I mentioned Rolin as an interested player at some point in the past, but I've barely seen anything of Catania this season so I don't know how he's developing.

Were you impressed at the way he switched off and lost Tevez on the goal?

Thefunny thing is.... that in the replay he was man marking tevez...but he took his sight away from him for one second... and in thta very precise moment tevez bursted in speed from the guys blind point.....and when he looked again to check if tevez was on place...he realized that he wasnt there and when he turned his head..tevez was 2 steps gone already....picking Osvaldo´s pass.

I can imagine the dude saying to himself "oh.......SHITTTTT".
