The Old Lady Speaks: A Juventus Podcast

The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 112: Di Maria, Vlahovic steal the show in opener

Listen Later

Juventus’ season-opening win over Sassuolo provided some reasons to be optimistic about what could be on the way over the next few weeks, with the Bianconeri’s big-name players leading the way Monday night.

On this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

  • We’re back, baby!
  • We mean the podcast talking about games that matter, not necessarily Juventus being BACK BACK after a season-opening win.
  • What else can we consider as back? The takeaways from Juventus’ season opener — including if this win over Sassuolo actually helps us figure out if we know anything new about Max Allegri’s squad, how Mattia Perin is pretty dang good regardless of being a backup goalkeeper and how nice it was to see the youngsters get a decent run out.
  • More discussion on Juventus’ season-opening win.
  • Like, there were some good things to happen, folks! Angel Di Maria was a leading man. Dusan Vlahovic scored a couple of goals. Bremer was strong. Heck, even Allegri himself was able to switch things up on the fly and make a very important first-half adjustment coming out of the cooling break that led to Juve taking the lead shortly thereafter.
  • How nice it was see Allegri make those early changes rather than try and stick with the original plan that wasn’t exactly working out all that well.
  • Thoughts on how the youngsters who came on in the second half — Fabio Miretti, Nicolo Rovella and Matias Soule — played in some extended minutes against Sassuolo.
  • Thoughts on the main transfer arrival rumors centering around Juventus regarding Barcelona striker Memphis Depay and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Leandro Paredes.
  • Twitter questions — including if this opening-game performance changes any thoughts on the forthcoming season, how some of the young midfielders might fit into things with Paul Pogba out injured for the next month or so and a little game to wrap things up.
