Former Juventus midfielder, now head of the competition for Italy, talks about the tournament’s news and his views on the current performance of the Old Lady.
Today Turin transforms into the capital of the Kings League, with Claudio Marchisio at the center stage as the protagonist of the Italian draft. The former Juventus midfielder, now in charge of the competition for Italy, not only outlined the details of the competition, but also answered questions from the present journalists, giving interesting insights into the current moment of his beloved team, Juventus. Here are his words.
Juventus, Marchisio’s words
What can you tell us about this event in such an important venue?
“I have been to many evenings at the Teatro Regio, I am glad there are many young people tonight who may have never been here. They are here to see us, but they will also see a fantastic place like this. It is an important moment for us, I am curious to see the draft. I have talked a bit with all the presidents, I am curious to see what strategies they will use. Then here in Turin, we will also have the final of the Kings League World Cup.”
How does this draft work?
“It is identical to that of the NBA, surely the first picks will be the most talented players. Going down it will be different, but the first moves will be the most interesting so stay focused from the beginning.”
Turning to Serie A, is this still the championship of the seven sisters?
“I confirm this feeling, the teams at the top are very close. But I am convinced that from January 2-3 teams will pull away. At this stage, Juventus has very important absences, there will also be the transfer market involved, and we will have to see who will try to strengthen their squad. Someone will definitely have to do it.”
Is Vlahovic the right man for this Juventus? Does he need help?
“These are choices of the club, of the coach. I hope he doesn’t have any further physical problems. Juventus needs him also in terms of numbers because Milik has not yet returned and there are no other center-forwards. Apart from what is said about Juve’s game, not having the center-forward makes a difference and I hope he can be available as soon as possible because Juventus will have many games at home and a player like him is essential.”

What do you think of Koopmeiners’ current form?
“It’s a period of adaptation for him, not only in terms of position. It’s a total change both in the way of playing and in a different role compared to what he had at Atalanta. It’s worth remembering that he had a quite particular injury, to the ribs. I hope he can rediscover especially the way to goal because I believe in some performances it can weigh.”
Are there any Kings League rules that you would bring into eleven-a-side football?
“We will see over time, there are many things that can change the fate of a game with the cards. I know that in the youth sectors, some Kings League rules are already being used with young players. So, something is already shifting.”
Who are the seven ideal Serie A players you would see fit in your Kings League team?
“You have to think carefully, seven-a-side football is different from eleven-a-side and requires very skilled one-on-one players. I’ll give you three: Douglas Costa, Andrea Pirlo, and Andres Iniesta.”

Juventus, a year ago was destined to leave Turin, today is one of Tudor’s certainties. The choice of the management to renew him has become a sign of continuity and trust.
Just a year ago Daniele Rugani seemed to be saying goodbye to Juventus. Like it happened to Huijsen, Soulé and partly to Federico Chiesa, for him too the club had drawn a clear line: those who did not fit into Thiago Motta’s technical plans were invited to find a new placement. But the fate of the Tuscan defender took a different turn.
Despite having a contract expiring eight months from the end of the season, the Juventus management decided to exercise the unilateral renewal clause for another year, a clear sign of trust. Despite everything, Rugani has proven to be a reliable, serious, and professional player, earning a leading role in a team still in search of balance.
Juventus, Tudor’s few certainties
In a complicated moment for the defense and more generally for Igor Tudor’s Juventus, number 24 represents a technical and moral certainty, a symbol of belonging and continuity. The club, which a year ago seemed ready to turn the page, has instead decided to focus on a player who knows the environment, accepts hierarchies, and knows how to be ready when needed.
In short, after almost ten years in black and white, Rugani has returned to being more than just a backup!

Juventus can start over, this year there is greater harmony between team and coach. Yildiz? I say this…

Marco Materazzi reveals: after the 2006 World Cup, a possible transfer to Roma, but I stayed at Inter due to lack of favorable conditions.
The Background of a Missed Transfer
Marco Materazzi, iconic Italian defender, has revealed an interesting background story about his career. After the triumph of the Italian National Team at the 2006 World Cup, Materazzi had the opportunity to move to Roma. However, according to the former defender, the transfer did not materialize because “they wanted to get married with dried figs,” a metaphor highlighting the lack of suitable conditions for the agreement. Materazzi, therefore, chose to stay at Inter, where he continued to achieve both personal and team success.
The Dream of Playing with Totti and De Rossi
Materazzi also expressed some regret for not being able to play alongside Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi. According to him, the combination of talent could have led to great success for Roma. Nevertheless, the defender is satisfied with his career at Inter, where he contributed to writing indelible pages in the club’s history. His words, reported on Twitter by Nicolò Schira, tell of a crucial period in his career and offer an interesting insight into decisions that could have changed the course of his footballing life.

Cremonese-Udinese ends 1-1, last match of the seventh day. Terracciano’s goal in the first half was answered by Zaniolo’s first goal in the league.
Closing the seventh day of Serie A is Cremonese–Udinese, Monday’s postponement. A match between two teams that started well in the league but have not found a win for several games.
Both coaches focus on quality: Nicola lines up Vandeputte and the attacking duo Bonazzoli-Vardy, with the Englishman making his debut as a starter, while Runjaić responds with Atta and Ekkelenkamp in midfield, Karlstrom in charge and Zaniolo as a forward alongside Bayo.

Cremonese-Udinese, first half in red-gray tones
The start is immediately favorable to the home team, who unlock the result in the 4th minute with Terracciano’s header from Vandeputte’s free-kick. The goal charges Cremonese, who dominate the first half thanks to the intensity of Bondo and the creativity of Vandeputte in midfield.
The red-grays come close to doubling their lead several times, first with Zerbin and then with Vandeputte and Bonazzoli, who hit the crossbar in the 31st minute. Udinese, on the other hand, struggles to react and ends the first half in difficulty, saved only by the opponents’ inaccuracies.
Zaniolo responds and Vardy almost scores the winning goal
In the second half, the game changes. Runjaić’s team comes back onto the field with a completely different attitude and immediately finds the equalizer in the 51st minute: Bayo serves Zanoli on the right, perfect cross and winning header by Zaniolo, scoring his first goal in Udinese colors.
The Friulians gain confidence and force Cremonese to drop back, but in the 60th minute, it’s Nicola’s team that comes very close to taking the lead again: Vardy sprints behind the defense and tries a chip shot, but Okoye does not allow it.
In the final minutes, opportunities abound on both sides: Piotrowski and Atta try for Udinese, then Vázquez hits the post with a free-kick in the 79th minute.
In the 91st minute, the last great chance falls to the red-grays: Sarmiento takes advantage of a glaring mistake by Solet, who is having an off day, and serves Vardy, who in the box gets rid of a defender and shoots practically on target but finds the decisive deflection by Kabasele, tonight the best in the Udinese defense.
The match ends 1-1, a result that satisfies neither team. Cremonese regrets the missed opportunities, while Udinese can only console themselves for the second-half reaction and Zaniolo’s excellent performance.
