They're apparently insisting that Pepe Reina be given a ban for simulation. That's what got their player sent off.

Interesting what is happening with Juve these days. As I see it, until recently Allegri was coaching Conte's Juve (granted he got better results than Conte, but the team was already in place when he started). What you are now seeing is a team more in Allegri's mold, with muscle players being chosen over creative players. They still are the dominant team in Serie A (and probably will remain so for some time), but they are no longer unbeatable, especially when playing away from their stadium.

I also feel, Allegri has been placed in a similar situation as he was with Milan. He was given a properly overpowered team, and then they started chopping off at the foundation. Hard to move seamlessly from Vidal and Pogba to Pjanic and whoever they have now.

I believe his cycle at Juve is coming to an end and maybe time to try a different league.

But Juve are now doing a Bayern and wrapping up youth deals with the best in Seria A going to them. Our delayed purchase is hitting us hard.

But Milan had to sell top players and replace them with sub-par signings because we had to redistribute the money.

On the other hand, Juventus sold Pogba and at the same time broke bank for Higuain. It's not that they needed money, they sold Pogba just like a typical Juve deal (cashing in on players like Zidane). There's the big difference that Juventus voluntarily decided to splash big amounts of money on strikers while the midfield has been neglected. I momentarily knew that with Pirlo gone and Pogba gone (as well as for example Coman) and their focus on strikers to solve the problem, Juventus is doings a big step backward.

Allegri's cycle just started. Probably it won't get ugly because they still have by miles the superiority needed to succeed in Serie A. But Buffon said something recently about the CL. I think that's off the plate. They're headed a different path now.

Its not just that. From what I read, you are also starting to see typical Allegri decisions, like shunning creative mids and instead playing others that are more "muscle" than anything else. But maybe this is just a phase, he has shown that he can get things together by the end of the season. Also, I think you are right in that CL is their #1 objective right now.

In any case, what Juve is doing with young talent throughout Serie A is indeed a concern.

Serie A to Implement VAR

Serie A is set to introduce video assistant referees (VAR) for the 2017-18 season while scrapping its use of goal-line referees.

VAR has been tested in international friendlies and some tournaments, including the Under-20 World Cup and Club World Cup, and now Serie A is set to follow suit for the new campaign.

As a result, Serie A, which brought in goal-line technology for last season, will no longer require the use of goal-line referees.

Italian Football Federation president Carlo Tavecchio said FIFA has not yet approved the new plans but should do in time for the new season.

"We asked for a little understanding from the clubs as we introduce this new system into all the stadiums," Tavecchio told Corriere dello Sport.

"We're going to need a separate room for the video assistant referees and at least eight television cameras following the action. The Lega Serie A will cover the costs, in the region of €2 million.

"Crotone will therefore play their first two games at home, allowing Cagliari to play theirs away so that they've got time to finish the stadium.

"FIFA have not given full authorisation yet, but all the signals are clear and say we'll begin at the start of the season."
