Match Day: Italy lost 0-3 to Norway, none of the three Juventus players played

Early this morning, the European group stage of the World Cup qualifiers rekindled, and Italy lost to Norway 0-3 away, which was shocking.

In this game, Italian coach Spaletti did not arrange for any Juventus player to enter the starting lineup. Gati, Cambiaso and Rugani were on the bench and could only watch the team being crushed by the Pirates.

According to post-match statistics, Italy shot six times in the game, only one shot. Although the ball possession rate was far ahead of the 62% goal, it could not find an efficient offensive method. In fact, opponent Norway had already secured the victory in the first half, and the goals of Sollot, Noosa and Haaland put Norwegian fans in a carnival.

After losing the game, the Italian players were in a depressed mood. Three days later, they will return to their home court to face Moldova, the weakest opponent in the group. I wonder if the goddess of victory will favor them at that time?

Gatti is not stable in Juventus

According to Italian media reports, Gati, whose contract with Juventus ends in 2028, is waiting for a salary increase contract provided by Juventus management. Gati hopes to increase his current annual salary of 1.4 million euros to 3 million euros, but Juventus management is still considering it. At the same time, in the transfer market, Naples, headed by Conte and Aston Villa of the Premier League, both teams are willing to meet Gati's salary requirements.

As a famous "inspiring brother" in Italian football, Gatti is willing to stay at Juventus to make achievements. Now, it depends on whether the Juventus management's determination to retain him is firm.

Other trends of the team

Vlahovic unexpectedly received an invitation from AC Milan.

Since Allegri took over Milan for the second time, Juventus center Vlahovic's future has turned around. According to the "Milan Sports Daily", in order to enhance Milan's forward offensive strength, Allegri intends to pursue "Super DV9" this summer.

It should be noted that Milan is only willing to provide Vlahovic with an annual salary of about 7 million euros at most, which makes Vlahovic very embarrassed. You should know that at the end of last year, Juventus offered him an annual salary of nearly 9 million euros, but he did not feel satisfied. Therefore, many Juventus fans believe that it is almost impossible for Milan to conquer Vlahovic in the summer window.

Interestingly, while Juventus was considering sending Vlahovic away, he has added Atlanta striker Retgi to the reinforcement candidate, and Retgi happened to be in Milan's signing plan.

In the "20 Power Forwards in the World Football Season 2024-2025" list released by "ESPN", Retge ranked 11th in the Serie A Golden Boot, attracting the attention of all Europe. Compared with Vlahovic, Retgi's annual salary is low, which is more in line with the team building needs of Juventus and Milan.

A week later, the energetic European Youth Championship is about to begin, and the Italian U21 will face Romania U21, Slovakia U21 and Spanish U21 respectively in the group stage.

In this Italian U21 roster, Juventus only contributed defender Turikia. As the only seer of the Zebras, Turikia's performance attracted the hearts of Juventus fans.
