Uefa Champions League UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - 2018/19 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS (First leg: 1-1) Juventus Stadium - Turin Tuesday 16 April 2019 Juventus 21.00CET (21.00 local time) AFC Ajax Quarter-finals, Second leg Last updated 14/04/2019 23:18CET UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFICIAL SPONSORS Match background 2 Legend 6 1 Juventus - AFC Ajax Tuesday 16 April 2019 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Juventus Stadium, Turin Match background Juventus and Ajax reconvene for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final with the tie finely poised after a 1-1 draw in Amsterdam. • Cristiano Ronaldo made it eight goals in six matches against Ajax to put the visitors in front in the 45th minute at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on 10 April, but a David Neres goal 11 seconds into the second period ensured the teams would head to Turin all square. • Both teams produced memorable second-leg comebacks in the round of 16. Ajax overturned a 2-1 home defeat by Real Madrid to oust the holders with a remarkable 4-1 success at the Santiago Bernabéu and reach their first quarter- final since 2002/03; Juve, meanwhile, were in trouble after a 2-0 first-leg loss at Atlético Madrid but recovered with a 3-0 victory back in Turin thanks to Ronaldo's hat-trick. • While Juve are looking to reach a third semi-final in five seasons, Ajax have not made it to the last four since 1996/97, when their campaign was ended by Juve – the team who had also beaten them in the previous season's final. Previous meetings • Ajax have won only two of their 13 European fixtures against Juventus, and none since 1974. Juve are unbeaten in their last ten games against the Dutch club, winning five of the last seven. • The teams have met in two European Cup finals; Ajax beat Juve 1-0 in Belgrade in 1973 thanks to Johnny Rep's early goal, but Juve turned the tables in Rome 23 years later. Fabrizio Ravanelli gave Juve an early lead but Jari Litmanen levelled before the break for Ajax, who were bidding to become the first team to retain the UEFA Champions League having beaten AC Milan in the final 12 months earlier; instead Juve were 4-2 winners on penalties. • Juve have won all four of the teams' two-legged contests, most recently prevailing 2-1 in the Amsterdam first leg of their 2009/10 UEFA Europa League round of 32 tie and progressing after a goalless draw in Turin. • The Bianconeri are unbeaten against Ajax in Turin (W3 D2), although they have scored only one goal in total in the last two fixtures, keeping clean sheets in both.

Ten of those first legs, including the last five, finished 1-1; Juve won eight of those ten contests overall, including the last, against Romania's Ceahlăul in the 1999 UEFA Intertoto Cup third round (0-0 home). More famously, Juve's last defeat after an away first-leg draw came at the hands of Manchester United in the 1998/99 UEFA Champions League semi-finals (1-1 away, 2-3 home). • Juventus's record in six UEFA penalty shoot-outs is W3 L3: 2-3 v AC Milan, 2002/03 UEFA Champions League final 4-2 v Ajax, 1995/96 UEFA Champions League final 1-3 v Real Madrid, 1986/87 European Champion Clubs' Cup second round 4-2 v Argentinos Juniors, 1985 European/South American Cup final 1-4 v Widzew Łódź, 1980/81 UEFA Cup second round 3-0 v Ajax, 1977/78 European Champion Clubs' Cup quarter-final Ajax • Ajax's record in 12 European Cup quarter-finals is W8 L4: 2002/03 AC Milan L 2-3 (0-0 h, 2-3 a) 1996/97 Atlético Madrid W 4-3 (1-1 h, 3-2 a aet) 1995/96 Borussia Dortmund W 3-0 (2-0 a, 1-0 h) 1994/95 Hajduk Split W 3-0 (0-0 a, 3-0 h) 1979/80 Strasbourg W 4-0 (0-0 a, 4-0 h) 1977/78 Juventus L 0-3 pens (1-1 h, 1-1 a) 1972/73 Bayern München W 5-2 (4-0 h, 1-2 a) 1971/72 Arsenal W 3-1 (2-1 h, 1-0 a) 1970/71 Celtic W 3-1 (3-0 h, 0-1 a) 1968/69 Benfica W 3-0 replay (1-3 h, 3-1 a) 1966/67 Dukla Praha L 2-3 (1-1 h, 1-2 a) 1957/58 Vasus L 2-6 (2-2 h, 0-4 a) • The 2003 defeat at AC Milan ended Ajax's five-match unbeaten away run in European Cup quarter-finals (W2 D3). • The Dutch club were without a win in seven UEFA Champions League knockout phase fixtures (D2 L5), since a 3-2 victory at Atlético Madrid in the 1996/97 quarter-final second leg that completed a 4-3 aggregate success, before their win at Real Madrid in the last round. • Ajax had lost their last three UEFA Champions League away games in the knockout phase – all to Italian opponents – before winning at Real Madrid; before that sequence started, they had won the previous three and were unbeaten in five (D2). • The Amsterdammers have lost only one of their 15 European matches in 2018/19 (W8 D6) – the first-leg defeat against Madrid. They won their first away game at Sturm Graz in the second qualifying round (3-1), drawing the next four – including at Bayern München and Benfica in Group E, both 1-1 – before a 2-0 success at AEK Athens on matchday five and the 4-1 victory at Real Madrid. • Ajax are the sole side still involved who came through qualifying. The other 15 teams who reached the knockout rounds all entered the competition at the group stage. • Before the first leg, the Dutch club had not played Italian opposition since drawing home (1-1) and away (0-0) against AC Milan in the 2013/14 UEFA Champions League group stage – they have now extended their unbeaten run against Serie A sides to six matches (W1 D5) since that 2010 loss to Juventus. • Ajax are unbeaten in their last four matches away to Serie A sides (W2 D2), keeping clean sheets in all of them. • Ajax's record in two-legged ties against Italian clubs is W5 L7; they have lost three of the last four.

    The Guardian | Wednesday June 21 2006 11 David Pleat’s pick of the best If the sides were to meet later in the tournament and field their strongest teams, this would be my select XI Edwin Van der Sar Experienced, cool, authoritative and uses the ball like a libero. Johnny Heitinga One to watch. History of injuries but is now staking a place with steady defensive form from right-back. At 22 will steadily improve. Roberto Ayala Steadying influence: strong, good in the air for his size. Will lead his team. Gabriel Heinze Tremendous aerial ability. Plays accurately with his left foot into the channels. Prone to recklessness. Juan Pablo Sorín Has energy, aerial ability and a sweet left foot. Can be erratic in the tackle but a vastly improved player. Mark van Bommel Likes to break forward but I would make him sit, using his tackling and determination to break up attacks. Van der Sar Ayala Heinze Heitinga Sorín Mascherano Van Bommel Riquelme Messi Robben Van Nistelrooy Javier Mascherano The new Claude Makelele: quick into the challenge, good positional sense, plays early. Puts team before himself. Juan Román Riquelme Has grown in stature in a smaller pond at Villarreal. Lovely touch. Though lacking pace, shields well and brain and precision passing more than compensate. Needs protection from two holders. Lionel Messi Wonderful first touch. Takes ball on the move with vision and pace. Glides past defenders. A joy to watch. Ruud van Nistelrooy Elder statesman just edges it. Like Hernán Crespo a goal machine, but Tévez may eclipse both in time.

  • Il Vostro Giornale - 1 / 3 - 27.09.2021 2
    1 La disamina tecnica dei campionati di “mastro” Leo Cusimano di Claudio Nucci 20 Gennaio 2017 – 23:40 Celle Ligure. Chi segue il calcio da tanti anni, ricorda Leo Cusimano, assieme al fratello gemello Francesco, tra i migliori giocatori del football ligure anni ’70. Il calcio era in piena rivoluzione culturale… “l’arancia meccanica” del football olandese del tecnico Rinus Michels, di Johan Cruyff, Ruud Krol, Johnny Rep e Johan Neeskens, aveva stravolto come uno tsunami gli antichi dogmi di un calcio conservatore, privo di fantasia. Qualche anno dopo, Leo Cusimano è diventato uno dei mister più quotati della Riviera, pioniere di un nuovo modo di interpretare il calcio, che ha avuto nel Savona il suo ‘laboratorio’. Il ‘mister’ (per noi è sempre tale) ha poi, purtroppo,deciso di tagliare il cordone ombelicale con un mondo “in cui non si riconosce più”. In un ventoso e freddo pomeriggio invernale, passeggiando sulla ex sede ferroviaria di un Il Vostro Giornale - 1 / 3 - 27.09.2021 2 paese diventato fra i più caratteristici del Savonese, abbiamo chiesto al ‘labbro di Celle Ligure’ (tante le similitudini con l’intramontabile Vujadin Boskov), una disamina dei campionati di Serie D, Eccellenza e Promozione. “In Serie D, il Gavorrano ha, al momento, una marcia in più, ma credo cheSavona e Sanremo, insieme alla Massese, abbiamo le carte in regola per lottare per il salto di categoria. Avendo allenato a lungo il Savona, mi auguro che mister Siciliano riesca nell’impresa di portare gli striscioni in Lega Pro. Anche il Sanremo ha, in Riolfo, un tecnico preparato ed un organico importante… Sarà una bella lotta”.
