This article was written at a time when Paul Pogba and Juventus were struggling. Those struggles got worse before they got better, but Juve have now won 15 straight Serie A games, find themselves in first place, and Pogba is playing with all of the confidence and leadership one could hope for. This article sheds some light on how Pogba got out of an unencouraging start to the season with some help from his manager, Massimiliano Allegri.
This Sunday great emotions will return to Serie A, a league that is trying to recover its world-class status after being displaced by La Liga, the Bundesliga and the Premier League. Roma host Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico.
Juventus has won the last four Serie A titles (Scudettos), and lost to Barcelona in the Champions League final last June.
Unfortunately for Juventus, this summer they lost Arturo Vidal, Andrea Pirlo and Carlos Tevez.
Sometimes, you just need to know when to quit while you’re on top.
For Ashley Cole, this could have been valuable advice when he was entering his last year with Chelsea before signing to Roma. After a long season of awkwardly fitting in with his new Italian club, Roma has decided to terminate Cole’s contract a year early.
AC Siena was beating Internazionale Milan 3-2 in 2010. Inter would go on to win the treble that year; beating Barcelona along the way with one of the most classic “Mourinho parks the bus” defensive efforts of all time. Siena, on the other hand, would be relegated. An upset was on hand, but Wesley Sneijder was yet to have his final say.
Juventus’ Andrea Pirlo has officially transferred to New York City FC.

After coming off of a very successful season in Italy and in Europe, despite falling to Barcelona in the Champions League final, Juventus have announced their newest kits for 2015.
Nothing too drastic has been changed from their classic white and black stripes, but their announcement video leaves you thinking of everything except “I want to buy that kit.”
Serie A title winners Juventus complete the signing of Mario Mandzukic for £13.6 million shortly after their addition of Sami Khedira from Real Madrid. The Champions League finalists are chasing after another successful season in 2015/16, and want to add a Champions League trophy to their collection for the second time in hopes of completing the treble.
The Croatian striker arrived in Turin earlier this week after a medical test, and agreed to a four year contract.
