It’s always exciting when a new issue is due out. Researching, gathering information, reading member feedback and comments; it makes everything more interesting and thrilling. I have to admit that sometimes I really need to work on the magazine. Sometimes, when things are not-so-well with Juventus, it’s easy to get down. It happens to the best of us. The magazine helps keep me focused on why I became a fan in the first place. It reminds me the beauty of the game in general, and my allegiance to the team in particular. It reminds me of the promise I made; to love the team in good times and bad, to always defend my team, to help my team in spirit when it’s needed. I hope that zeb is there for you too….just in case you need reminding. Sempre Juve!
THIS IS A BI-LINGUAL MAGAZINE You can write to us in any language with your comments, suggestions and submissions. Noi pubblicheremo le vostre opinioni sia in italiano che in inglese.

It has been said that, ―teamwork divides the work and multiplies the success.‖ In many ways, I attribute zeb’s achievements both to the core group of people who got this magazine off the ground, and to the growing number of people whose enthusiasm continues to grow—both through readership and written contributions. It seems as though the true measure of success is seeing how the Juventus Club continues to foster a sense of community and a renewed spirit of excitement for the magazine and for the team itself. I am proud to be part of this interconnected group of people, whose passion for the game inspires us at zeb to find new ways of expressing their sentiments. Please continue your support of zeb: we would love to hear any ideas you might have about how to add new dimensions to this magazine. Forza Juve!

OUR AGENDA IN ACTION
ANNOUNCEMENTS
The Juventus Club DOC Toronto is excited to be able to tell our members about all the wonderful initiatives that we have on the go this year. First, we have opened up our Club Headquarters for weekly events and games (p.8). Then, we have our Soccer Scholarship Program (p6), helping to nourish soccer at the grassroots in our community. We have sponsored the U-18 Select Team in the Agropoli Tournament in Italy (p.29), helping a youth soccer team in their endeavor to grow within the sport. We have also scheduled our Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament and our Evening of Wine-Tasting (inside front cover). Remember, we are always out there working for you!
Happy events are plentiful among our Club members in these past few months!
WHAT’S NEW We would like to welcome Juventus’s newest acquisition, striker Luca Toni. We are sure that he has much to contribute to our team and we look forward to cheering him on during the games. Welcome aboard Luca!
DEPARTING Sadly, the Juventus Club DOC Board of Directors must say goodbye to Vice President Domenic Cataldi. Due to business commitments he is unable to continue to devote himself at a Director level and has resigned his position. While he, of course, remains a dedicated member of our Club, his presence on the Board will be greatly missed. We wish him all the best with the opening of the new Cataldi Foods in Vaughan and look forward to seeing him at our various events.
We ecstatically announce the engagement of Thomas Whitney to Claudia Pace, longtime member and zeb magazine Editor. We hope that their future is as bright as their personalities.
Member Mario Riossi and Tanya Pisegna happily announce that they are expecting their first child this summer. Ah, more juventini on the horizon! The Juventus Club DOC Toronto sends its most heartfelt auguri to Joe and Lauraine Callipari who celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary on January 7th. The couple, who reside in London, Ontario, will have their official celebration in Rome, Italy in June, where their mass will be officiated by Father Stefano De Fiores. Father Stefano was Joe’s best friend at the Seminary in Bergamo from 1949 to 1952. Joe later left the seminary to come to Canada with his family. After 59 years, they met again in Giovanni Di Gerace in Calabria. It is with great honour that he will preside over the ceremony of his longtime friend this summer.

The season is now in full swing and our beloved team has run into some problems on the field. Yes, there have been many (too many) injuries suffered and crucial absences, but it doesn’t appear that the Juventus Administration’s commitment to build a team for next year has been followed through with. We seem to let our young, promising players go to other teams and even those that are still the property of the bianconeri have not been called upon
when the opportunity arises. I have always been a great believer in the importance of the Italian youth teams and that they have been consistently underused by the Serie A teams who prefer to purchase established, higher priced foreign players. It’s really a shame. It’s one thing to miss the opportunity to obtain quality youth players. It’s another thing to have them in our hands and let them slip away. There has been much disappointment on this front. Hopefully we can What you think is very important to us. learn from this, Please let us know your comments about regroup and rally Juventus, our Club, zeb magazine, or whatgoing forward for ever is on your mind.

CON LA PRESENTATRICE DELLA JUVENTUS CHANNEL a cura di Tiziana Pace Come mai hai deciso di fare la giornalista? Una bella domanda questa. É successo un pò per caso. Io mi sono laureata in scienze ambientali così il mio percorso mi portava da un altra parte. Però ho fatto teatro fin da piccola. Ho cominciato a lavorare con gli SPNtastic, il canale italiano di ESPN, sempre nell’ambito sportivo. Poi da lì mi ha chiamato Sky Sport per i mondiali di calcio del 2006 e quindi la juventus. Così ho visto che il percorso cominciava ad andare in un'altra direzione e, per specializarmi ulteriorarmente, ho dato gli esami di Io vi ammiro moltissimo perché nonostante ci sia un oceano in mezzo, veramente voi portate avanti l'amore per la Juve in una maniera estremamente determinata. stato e sono diventata giornalista. E devo dirti che adesso sono molto contenta. Che cosa ti piace di più del tuo lavoro? Mi piace la possibilita di raccontare le emozioni che la gente vive attraverso lo sport, sia quando sono in transmissione che anche in forma scritta attraverso la scrittura di articoli. Mi piace cercare di arrivare al cuore delle persone. Da una parte c'é un elemento sportivo: la partita, i giocatori. Però dall'altra parte c'é il racconto di tutto questo e secondo me, la capacità di un buon giornalista e proprio quella di sapere raccontare quanto accade ed andare là dove si muovono le emozioni, dove si muove il cuore. Ti rendi conto quanto é importante la tua presenza qui come l'ambasciatrice della Juventus? Come é un onore per noi averti qui? Io vi ringrazio ma mi rendo conto di quanto la juve sia amata veramente
tanto tanto, nonostante la distanza. Ogni volta per me e uno stupore perche forse nemmeno i giocatori si rendono conto della passione che c'é e di quanto fate davvero per tenere alto il nome della Juve ed i colori della squadra. L' impegno che mettete come adesso con questa nuova sede e con questa nuova organizzazione. Io vi ammiro moltissimo perché nonostante ci sia un oceano in mezzo, veramente voi portate avanti l'amore per la Juve in una maniera estremamente determinata. Io sono contenta di potere in qualche modo rapresentare la Juventus, visto che lavoro nella juve, lavoro vicino alla squadra. Mi rendo conto che sarebbe bellissimo se un giorno potrò venire qui magari con qualche giocatore. In due giorni hai incontrato due Presedentesse di Juventus Club. Che pensi di questa svolta di donne nei posti dove tradizionalmente ci sono degli unomi? Sono contentissima!! Sono molto felice perché é giusto. É giusto perché sicuramente ci dovrebe essere una co-operazione tra uomini e donne perché quello che portiamo noi non é quello che portanto i maschi e vice versa. Cosi sicuramente la possibilità di lavorare insieme é importante. Però allo stesso tempo credo che le donne abbiano una certa capacità organizativa, un ordine, un attenzione alle cose maggiore respetto agli unomi. Si vede anche a casa con la normale quotidianità. Quindi il fatto che ci sono due donne al capo di due Club, di due organizzazioni così importanti per me é un motivo di or-

Penso che sia un cosa molto importante e anzi sarebbe bello se le nuove generazioni o i giovani si potessero avvicinare tanto al club per via del giornalino scrivendo, cercando magari di estendere anche gli articoli alla Juve ma anche a quello che si vive intorno all Juventus. Quindi complimenti anche per questo e mi auguro che lo portiate avanti. Tante grazie.

ROCKY CERONE About me: I'll never forget the day I became a Juve fan. I was 13 years old and spent the summer in Italy, in the town of Collelongo. It all began with me trying to impress a girl. As I started a conversation with her, one of the first things that came up was her question, "Di che squadra sei?" and before I answered her I asked her which team she liked. Her response was "La Juve". From that point on, I started following the team and became an instant fan. Being a fan for over 14 years has obviously had it's ups and downs, but watching the team get sent down to Serie B and work its way back up the ladder to where they are today is what makes me proud to be a Juventus fan. Growing up in a household with two Inter Milan (my father and youngest brother) and two Juventus fans (my other brother and I) makes the best Sunday lunch discussions of who played better this week or who is going to win the Scudetto or Champions League. There have been many arguments over the years, but I have

found it makes watching the games a lot more fun an d in te re st in g . My most memorable Juve moment was when Italy won the World Cup in 2006. Watching all the games outdoors at Market Lane Shopping Centre, I remember looking around at all the people watching the game, majority of them were either wearing Buffon or Del Piero jerseys: one being the best goaltender in the world and the other one of the best leaders and veterans of our team. Although the Italian squad had players from all the Italian teams, to me it was because of the Juventus players that made us win that year. Our players played such a huge role in Italy winning the Cup that it was an experience I will never forget. Forza JUVE!!

JUVE, ADDA PASSÀ A NUTTATA Una volta, il mai troppo compianto amante della Signora bianconera, Gabriele Pedano, prese di contropiede il presidente Boniperti raccontandogli una freddura delle sue. Gabriele, accostò il presidente mentre la Juve era ospite di un ristorante torontino e gli disse: «La Juve è come la pulce». Mentre a Boniperti stava per venire un infarto per il poco piacevole accostamento, Gabriele aggiunse: «È come la pulce perchè è sempre in testa». Fosse vivo oggi, Gabriele non parlerebbe più di testa ma imiterebbe Odardo De Filippo e direbbe: adda passà a nuttata. La nuttata, la notte, della Juve prima o dopo passerà. Ma l¹impressione è che ci vorrà ancora parecchio tempo perchè da sei anni a questa parte nulla va più per il verso giusto. Calciopoli è stato per la Juve come il 9/11 lo fu per gli Stati Uniti: dopo niente è stato più lo stesso. A New York è rimasto il tragico buco di ground zero, a Torino stanno ancora cercando di riempire il vuoto creato dal cataclisma sportivo. E fino ad ora non ci sono riusciti. Senza entrare nel merito, o nel demerito, di quel periodo che non ha ancora scritto l¹ultimo verdetto (la giustizia in Italia cammina lemme-lemme), va detto che in casa Juve il dopo Calciopoli è stato gestito male, in maniera confusa da dirigenti improvvisati, privi di cultura e di sapienza calcistica. Il primo errore fu non rinnovare il contratto a Deschamps. Il francese aveva fatto rialzare la testa alla Juve ed ai suoi tifosi vincendo alla grande il campionato di B ma quando chiese acquisti mirati lo mandarono a cantare la Marsigliese in patria. Dopo venne Ranieri, mai ben visto perchè romano e romanista. All¹inizio fece bene, sembrava che la Signora potesse tornare a sorridere. Invece, spuntò Lippi che intanto aveva vinto il
Mondiale e che da dietro le quinte Le due facce del ridimensionamento era già l¹uomo in charge. Quanto di di metà stagione sono soprattutto i buono aveva tanti, troppi, infortuni che hanno fatto Ranieri andò in fumo e la sua panchina venne affidata a Ciro Ferrara, vice di Lippi in Germania. Il buon Ciro fu una delusione totale, ma il peggio doveva venire con Zaccheroni, triste traghettatore senza poteri di una squadra da rifare visto che i tanti giovani italiani non mantenevano le promesse e che gli stranieri presi a peso d¹oro l¹indisciplinato Melo, il fumoso Amauri e quel genietto incompreso di Diego - non rendevano per quello che erano stati pagati. Con l¹avvento di Andrea Agnelli, la Juve torna nella mani della famiglia degli storici trionfi. Il figlio di Umberto e nipote dell¹Avvocato comincia la sua rivoluzione dell¹alto, prendendo Marotta e Del Neri, il braccio e la mente della Sampdoria. Marotta vende Diego, ottiene in prestito Aquilani e acquista il nuovo Nedved, Milos Krasic. Queste le operazioni principali di un organico sempre privo di Buffon e con la ―bandiera‖ Del Piero a mezz¹asta, ossia impiegato marginalmente. La nuova Juve di Agnelli, Marotta e Del Neri parte col piede sbagliato (sconfitta 1-0 a Bari, pari interno con la Samp, 3-3). Il primo squillo di tromba a Udine (poker secco ai friulani), subito seguito dal primo crollo in casa (3-1 per il Palermo): sono le avvisaglie di un andamento a singhiozzo che continerà per tutto il girone di andata. Il pari senza reti a San Siro contro l¹Inter e la vittoria, sempre a San Siro contro il Milan, esaltano l¹ambiente bianconero. A tre turni dalla fine, il successo sulla Lazio (2-1), fa parlare di scudetto. Un miraggio svanito brutalmente negli ultimo 180 minuti: due sconfitte, sette gol subiti, uno realizzato.
perseguitato la squadra sino ad ora, ma anche il ―lavoro‖ di Del Neri che comincia a far storcere la bocca anche ai più fedeli fans bianconeri. Soltanto il resto del campionato dirà se Del Neri è da Juve o no, ma sarà essenziale che abbia dei rinforzi sia in attacco che in difesa: il reparto arretrato è troppo bucabile sia sulle fasce ma anche al centro, come Giovinco e Cavani hanno dimostrato. In avanti, invece, ci sono giganti dai piedi spezzati (Quagliarella), di argilla (Iaquinta, Amauri), pesanti (Luca Toni), perchè lo hanno preso, non sarebbe stato preferibile dare spazio a qualche ragazzo?), oppure semplicemente stanchi (Del Piero). Per rimediare a questa situazione Andrea Agnelli deve mettere mano alla tasca, magari attin gen do dall¹ingente parimonio familiare. Senza soldi, infatti, la processione non cammina. E la ―nuttata‖ non passerà facilmente. Nicola Sparano Caporedattore Sport Corriere Canadese zeb 2.3

Pre-Match Report This weekend’s match of the week features two top class teams, both in great form, playing clinical soccer. One team’s goal, to win the scudetto, the other’s, to simply erase the horrid memories of last

season and maintain a EUFA spot or higher. Coming off a huge 3-1 victory at the Angelo Massimino in Catania, Juventus is looking to continue winning. After just edging a UEFA Cup spot last year and being rec e n t l y knocked out of the EUFA Cup this year, Juventus can now focus on its main objective of vying for that scudetto win. One obstacle will be facing the high flying Aquile. In this weekend’s game, Juventus will look to Fabio Q uagl iarell a to provide the striking power up f ron t. Simone Pepe has found his form once again, after scoring a howler last w ee ken d
against Catania. Milos Krasic has proved to be a fish in water in Serie A and looks to continue his deadly crosses. Juventus has scored 17 out of their 29 goals at the Delle Alpi, which demonstrates its strength at home. On the other hand, 11 of its 15 allowed goals have also been at home. Juventus can score but also has trouble defending in front of its supporters. Lazio is in form and is currently the team to beat. After hosting and defeating defending Serie A champion, Inter, the laziali will have confidence on their side. The last time these two teams met the match ended in a 1-1 tie. Lazio will be without out the services of left back Stefan Radu, a key piece to Lazio’s success thus far. Lazio’s main four at the back line are Lichtsteiner, Biava, Dias and Radu. Filling in for Radu will be the inexperienced 18 year old Luis Cavanda. Cavanda has impressed Edy Reja in two appearances this season. There is a lot of speculation as to whether or not he is ready to face La Vecchia Signora or if he’s prepared to mark the speedy Milos Krasic.
SIDE KICK: "A failure is a man who has blundered, but is not able to cash in on the experience.‖ - Elbert Hubbard, writer
Post-Match Analysis It didn’t take long for the game to get started, with il capitano Giorgio Chiellini powering in a header off a corner, muscling his way by two defenders to put Juventus up 1-0. At the 8th minute, the home team threatened once again. The speedy winger Krasic laid the ball off for Fabio Quagliarella who put it just wide. The game stayed level until the 14th minute when the fan favourite Mauro Zarate popped one in off of a corner. Lazio almost added to the score sheet once again, after Sergio Floccari dribbled his way passed two defenders before putting the ball just wide of Marco Storari. Later on in the first half, the ex-Romanista, Alberto Aquilani, bent a free kick off the wall, to only hit the cross bar before going out of play. Juventus showed a reluctant attack as it almost went ahead near the end of the half. Krasic had a go at a loose ball that just went over the cross bar. The
shot left the back four and Nando Muslera staring, hoping that it wouldn’t go in. The second half was not as lively as the first half was, with the only real scoring chance coming in the first minute of extra time when Alessandro Del Piero proved once again that he still has it. He bent in a brilliant free kick on net with Muslera just getting his finger tips on it and keeping it out of the back of the net. The biancocelesti’s luck ran out with just one minute remaining in extra time. With Krasic running circles around the 18 year old Luis Cavanda all night, all it took was for one little mistake for Kraisc to crash into the Lazio box at full speed. After a trademark run by the Serbian, he took a shot; while trying to block the shot, Muslera hit the ball into his own net. Juventus soared to a well deserved 2-1 win in front of its home crowd.
Milos Krasic proved once again to be the hero and it’s clear now why the juventini are all ―Crazy for Krasic.‖

Juventini around the world, this is it! Finally, after a long wait and many years of trepid expectation, the new stadium under construction in Torino will see its inauguration sometime at the end of August 2011. The ―Juventus Arena‖, the temporary name for the new soccer stadium, will host all the Juventus home games. The old Stadio delle Alpi, built for Italia ’90, has been demolished and, at the end of June 2009, the building of the new venue began on its site, at the cost of about 150,000,000 euro. It will have a capacity of 41,000 spectators with 4,000 parking spaces and access through four entrances. Its most important feature will be the short distance between the field and the stands, about 8.5 meters, unlike the Stadio Olimpico that the team is using now. Juventus will be the sole owner and we all hope that the old Italian saying will come true: ―Stadio nuovo, vita nuova!‖

Il nostro corrispondente estero, Francesco Mastrorizzi, continua a darci notizie sui giocatori che hanno lasciato la nostra squadra ma non i nostri cuori
Montero, l’ultimo guerriero Non è da molto tempo che il difensore Paolo Montero ha appeso le scarpe al chiodo. Ha lasciato la Juventus alla fine della stagione 2004 -05, per andare a giocare un anno nella squadra argentina del San Lorenzo e tornare l’anno successivo nel suo Paese, l’Uruguay, chiudendo la carriera da professionista lì dove l’aveva iniziata, nella squadra del Peñarol, il 17 maggio 2007. In Italia è da poco uscita una biografia a lui dedicata, dal titolo ―Paolo Montero, l'ultimo guerriero‖, scritta da Alvise Cagnazzo e Stefano Discreti, con un’intervista introduttiva a Luciano Moggi. Il libro racconta Montero dentro e fuori dal campo, attraverso numerosi aneddoti e le migliori interviste rilasciate alla stampa. Nato nel 1971, fa il suo debutto con il Peñarol all’età di diciannove anni, ma nel 1992 è già in Italia, scoperto dall’Atalanta. Marcello Lippi, allora allenatore dei nerazzurri, lo fa esordire il 6 settembre a Bergamo contro il Parma: l’Atalanta vince per 2 a 1 e Montero è tra i migliori in campo. Con il suo inserimento la squadra diventa più solida e a fine stagione riesce ad ottenere un lusinghiero settimo posto
in classifica. All’Atalanta Montero disputa ottimi campionati e diventa il pilastro della difesa, ma i grandi club lo snobbano a causa del suo stile ruvido e della 24
zeb 2.3
sua eccessiva fallosità, nonché per il suo carattere difficile. Nel 1996, però, Lippi, allenatore della Juve già da due anni, lo rivuole con sé e ne suggerisce l’acquisto alla dirigenza. C’è da mettere a punto il reparto arretrato e la presenza di un giocatore come Montero, tempestivo in fase di chiusura e anche tecnicamente dotato, è indispensabile per continuare a vincere. Lo stesso Paolo racconta il suo immediato amore per la maglia bianconera: ―Sono diventato juventino il primo giorno che sono arrivato a Torino, quando mi sono reso conto quanto la Juventus fosse odiata dal resto delle tifoserie d’Italia. Il loro odio io l’ho trasformato in amore per la Juventus. Contro tutto e tutti. Quella maglia era una corazza...‖ Sin da subito diventa titolare irremovibile e con Ciro Ferrara forma una coppia di centrali tra le più forti della storia della Juve. A Torino vince una Coppa Intercontinentale (1996), una Supercoppa Europea (1996), tre Supercoppe Italiane (1997, 2002, 2003) e cinque scudetti (1997, 1998, 2002 e 2003 e 2005). Disputa, inoltre, tre finali della Champions League (contro il Borussia Dortmund nel 1997, il Real Madrid nel 1998 e il Milan nel 2003). Pur detenendo il poco invidiabile record di cartellini rossi nella storia della Serie A (16 espulsioni per lui), Montero ha sempre dimostrato ai
suoi compagni e ai suoi allenatori di essere un grande uomo, sensibile e con dei valori profondi, tra cui quello dell’amicizia. Prova ne hanno potuto avere sia tifosi che detrattori quando, nel giugno del 2006, partì dall’Uruguay appena saputo del gravissimo fatto che era accaduto a Gianluca Pessotto, recandosi immediatamente dall’amico che lottava tra la vita e la morte e restando accanto a lui per giorni e giorni. Attualmente Montero svolge il ruolo ,di procuratore per alcune giovani promesse uruguaiane. Subito dopo il ritiro, infatti, ha aperto un'agenzia, la ―Pro Futbol‖ insieme al suo amico Gustavo Mendez (excalciatore del Vicenza), attraverso cui va alla ricerca di nuovi talenti del calcio uruguaiano da proporre, poi, ai club europei. Il suo obiettivo è di dare la possibilità a quanti più ragazzi di compiere il suo stesso percorso: passare per una società di provincia seria e organizzata, che insegni loro a giocare e vivere - come è stata per lui l'Atalanta – per poi fare il grande salto in una squadra importante.

Momenti storici della nostra Vecchia Signora
TOP 10 TIFOSI BIANCONERI 10. Eros Ramazzotti. Oltre che uno dei cantanti italiani più famosi nel mondo, è anche un grande appassionato di calcio (da anni è il migliore attaccante della Nazionale Cantanti) e da sempre un accanito tifoso juventino, nonostante sia nato a Roma.
9. Gigi Moncalvo. Giornalista e conduttore televisivo, dal 2006 porta avanti una campagna di difesa dell’operato di Moggi e di accusa alle sentenze di Calciopoli. Ha scritto il libro ―I lupi & gli agnelli‖, dedicato alla famiglia Agnelli, in cui si parla ovviamente anche di Juventus.
6. Piero Ostellino. Giornalista ultrasettantenne del Corriere della sera, di cui è stato direttore in passato, sin dallo scoppio di Calciopoli ha evidenziato le pecche del processo sportivo e l'ingiustizia perpetrata ai danni della Juventus. 5. David Pratelli. Cabarettista e straordinario imitatore (tra i suoi personaggi ci sono anche Lippi, Capello e Ranieri), ha una grande passione per la Juventus, sulla quale non si stanca mai di rilasciare interviste e commenti, spesso condivisibili per chi ha in comune con lui l’amore per la maglia bianconera. 4. Christian Rocca. Giornalista de ―Il Sole 24 Ore‖ e in precedenza de ―Il Foglio‖, da maggio del 2006, attraverso il suo blog, è stato uno dei pochi che ha cercato di spiegare le incongruenze e gli "strani" comportamenti dei mass media nei confronti di Moggi e della Juventus durante l'estate del 2006.
8. Mario Mattioli. Giornalista sportivo della Rai, ha fondato lo ―Juve Club Rai‖, che riunisce tutti i tifosi juventini che lavorano per la rete pubblica italiana. Ha provato ad indagare su Calciopoli dal punto di vista giornalistico, trovando molti ostacoli che lo hanno fatto desistere. 7. Claudio Zuliani. Telecronista ufficiale delle partite della Juventus sui canali di Mediaset Premium, si è fatto conoscere come opinionistatifoso sulla rete televisiva 7 Gold, soprattutto per alcuni memorabili collegamenti dagli stadi in cui era impegnata la nostra squadra.
sicuramente più valide di quelle dei dirigenti che hanno permesso la distruzione di una grande squadra nel 2006. 2. Pietro Sermonti. Attore televisivo e teatrale, nel 2010 ha interpretato la parte di Giulio Cesare "tifoso della Juventus" nello spot pubblicitario per promuovere la costruzione del nuovo stadio. Da ragazzo ha giocato nelle giovanili della Juventus ed è nipote di Susanna Agnelli, sorella dell'Avvocato. 1. Giampiero Mughini. Giornalista e scrittore, dal 1998 al 2010 ha partecipato come ospite fisso al programma televisivo ―Controcampo‖, in qualità di rappresentante del tifo Juventino. Oltre che per la spiccata cultura, si distingue per l’ironia e il sarcasmo, spesso indirizzati sulla squadra dell’Inter e sui suoi ridicoli tifosi. Celebri le sue sfuriate contro chiunque mettesse in dubbio la regolarità delle vittorie bianconere.
3. Mariella Scirea. Sarebbe l’ideale Presidente Onorario della società juventina, sia per essere stata la moglie di uno dei più grandi calciatori italiani della storia, sia per le sue tante dichiarazioni a difesa delle vittorie della Juve, zeb 2.3

She is a midfielder who has the ability to play all positions. Her Favorite player: Ji-Sung Park - Manchester United. Dajana Solomun is one of the most creative and exciting players to watch in Ontario. She is an attacking midfielder who possesses vision and skill to make everyone around her a better player.

plished three consecutive League and Cup Championship years, namely 2006 CGSL U-17, 2007 CGSL U-18 and 2008 OWSL U-21. I can definitely admire and recognize the efforts and commitments required to field a great team like this, especially at such a young age. I like to think that my team set a high standard, and that this group of young ladies and its coaching staff raised the bar even higher. Congratulations to everyone volved with this team!

This is the team history as seen from the eyes of Gabby Kim and Dajana Solomun, two of the star players on the Glen Shields 1996 girls Team. 26
zeb 2.3
The beginning for the Glen Shields Sun Devils 1996 girls team was at the age of 8 when the team formed together with the ambition to grow together, not only as players but as individuals. With supportive coaches and a group of talented, yet diligent girls, a solid team was built and a great story began. Over time, the players learned to complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses in order to function as a team. Throughout their existence, like any organization, the Glen Shields Sun Devils experienced challenges, frustrations, and excitement. These were stepping stones that lead them to success. Even from the very beginning, it seemed inevitable that the team would flourish. In 2005, the team entered and placed second in its very first tournament. Along with their experience and confidence, there was something on the field that kept the girls coming back stronger, leading
to five championships and titles in the same year. The success continued in 2006 as the team won the York Region League and cup. There were challenges ahead as the team had to transition to play from 6 aside to 11 aside in 2007. The team had to adjust to a bigger field and focus on improving endurance, technical abilities and advanced tactics. With the addition of many new players, the team once again had to unify. The players ability to focus on their new roles and responsibilities on and off the field resulted with yet another York Region League title. In 2008, the team was promoted to the Central Girls Soccer League. This league was much more competitive, and consisted of the top eight teams in the York, Huronia, Toronto and
Durham regions. To sustain their competitive edge, Glen Shields had to develop new habits. This included proper nutrition, sleep, and preparation. It turned out to be very worthwhile as they managed to win both the league title and cup. In 2009, the team persevered and continued its success by winning both its indoor and outdoor league. In addition, the team won the Ontario Indoor Cup, league cup and several tournaments. Its success earned it a promotion to play at the highest level in 2010 – the Ontario Youth Soccer League. 2010 was a year of memorable experiences and emotions, both happy and sad. With eight players selected to represent Team Ontario throughout the winter season, the Sun Devils had limited training time together during the indoor season. They encountered some challenges at the start of the OYSL season. Although they won, the quality of their game was not up to their expected level. But it didn’t take long for the team to begin to click. The chemistry came back and they really started to play the game with style. On the field, unity along with skill helped the Sun Devils control their games and maintain first place in the league. As the season progressed, the Ontario Cup tournament took place. The Sun Devils passed through the round robin and quarterfinals with ease. In the semi final game, victory was just a shot away against the established Brams United Angels. In terms of pos-

In the Ontario Terra Power Rankings, the team is now ranked first among the hundred and fifty-five 1996 girls teams in Ontario and number five for all ages.

cial group of talented players. More importantly, they were serious about training, extremely competitive and showed a level of commitment that was second to none. As one of our captains, Emma Pozzulo pointed out, "As a team we may not win every game, but no team will work harder than we do." Good players come and go. Many players who were dominant at age nine are no longer
playing soccer. The difference always comes down to commitment. There are no shortcuts to success or any great secrets to training. You simply have to put in the hours to train and have a competitive and structured environment that allows players to succeed. When others are relaxing and playing with friends, great players are training. Support and positive reinforcement from a player’s family is crucial. Spending endless hours of driving and
hanging around the soccer pitch is not easy, but parents who show a great affection for their child and the game of soccer can make all the difference in the world. At Glen Shields, we take our soccer seriously. The 96 Girls team is a wonderful group of girls that exemplify our club philosophy – commitment to excellence. Now the challenge is to not look back and chart a new course in this beautiful game. Well done Sun Devils.

Resto nella speranza di un Suo ripensamento.
Ill.mo Sig. Presidente Agnelli,
Distinti saluti.
Lascio da parte i preamboli e vengo subito al sodo.
Marisa Lombardi
L'annuncio di voler riconoscere il Sig. Boniek con una stella, nel nuovo stadio, ha provocato in me una tale nausea che non provavo da quando, mentre leggevo "La Nausea" di Sartre, l' autosuggestione me ne provoco' una veramente indescrivibile.
Toronto, 3 dicembre 2010
E' impensabile permettere a uno che sistematicamente, e senza alcun ritegno, attacca la squadra e la sua dirigenza, di entrare a far parte di una storia illustre come quella della Juventus. I traditori non lasciano mai un' impronta positiva nella storia dei grandi. Se, pero', si scegliera' di conferirgli una stella, allora io proporrei di conferirne una anche a Giuda... E perche' no?
with over 30 years of experience
Alla Dirigenza, Nel 2011 la Juventus sicuramente avra' un ruolo piu' importante, sia nel calcio italiano che in quello europeo. I giovani avranno piu' esperienza e con qualche innesto importante, potranno aspirare a molti traguardi. Il nuovo stadio non puo' che aiutare, non solo le casse, ma anche il prestigio della nostra squadra. Vorrei, pero', che non si facessero passi falsi... Il gruppo dovra' essere compatto: dagli Agnelli al magazziniere. Le decisioni dovranno essere ben ponderate. Per esempio: l' idea di dedicare una stella a coloro che hanno contribuito alla storia bianconera e' veramente sublime, queste pero', dovrebbero essere dedicate solo a chi veramente le merita, cosi' facendo si manda un segnale forte e preciso a tutto il mondo juventino. L'idea che una stella venga, pero', dedicata a Boniek non la vedo proprio... Prima di tutto perche' ha giocato pochi anni con la nostra maglia, poi perche' ho ancora le orecchie piene delle sue pesanti critiche a tutto l'ambiente bianconero. Ed anche adesso, che ha la possibilita' di avere la sua stella, continua a dirne di cotte e di crude, per non parlare, poi, del soprannome che l'avvocato Agnelli gli assegno': "Bello di Notte", quando quasi tutte le gare venivano disputate di pomeriggio. Questa la dice lunga sull'apporto dato da questi. Per le suddette ragioni non meriterebbe di esssere preso in considerazione, ma se la dirigenza decidesse di onorarlo vorrei almeno che quancuno mi spiegasse che cosa c'e' dietro la loro decisione; cosi', forse, potro' capirlo anch'io. Forza Juve! Vincenzo Solmito

Ottawa, November -- The Club Juventus Ottawa Sezione Gaetano Scirea celebrated 2010 by hosting Miss Valeria Ciardiello from the Juventus Channel in Ottawa. The intent of the trip was to strengthen ties between the Club Ottawa and the Juventus Headquarters in Torino, in the hopes that one day the Club Ottawa could become a Club Juventus DOC. It was Valeria’s first time visiting Canada’s Capital Region. Members welcomed her with open arms and arranged tours to the Parliament buildings and the Museum of Civilization, as well as introduced her to some of Ottawa’s finest restaurants. The highlight of Miss Valeria’s visit was her presence at the Club’s Annual Gala where she was able to socialize with members and friends of the Ottawa Italian Community. The evening was filled with many surprises, one of them being an international telephone connection with Mariella Scirea, who
By Christina del Castello congratulated the club for its hard efforts. In addition, members watched a video called ―Saluti Bianconeri‖ from Torino, showing Juventus players greeting Ottawa fans. Although the players were not able to attend the event, their presence was marked with autographed jerseys by DelPiero and Buffon, put on display for silent auction. The evening continued with the famous ―Deal or No Deal‖ game show hosted by Miss Valeria, as well as an appearance by the popular Montréal comedians Nonna Maria. The event was a great success and an important milestone for the Club. We sincerely thank Miss Valeria Ciardiello and the Juventus Channel for making 2010 a special and unforgettable year.
