Juve in 2013 ...

What will the New Year hold for the Bianconeri? We don't know, all we know for certain is that 2012 wasn't half bad! Winning the title was perhaps the most satisfying moment as Juventus had a torrid time before that, finishing seventh in the league, out of the Scudetto race and out of Europe, critics didn't see this coming and to remain unbeaten for an entire season, well, what can you say?!

There were raised eyebrows upon hearing that Antonio Conte was appointed as Coach, but it worked out perfectly. The former Juve midfielder had just helped Siena return to Serie A and had little experience at managing in the top- flight. Conte surprised everyone with Juve's 49 game unbeaten run, and this record was not the only thing that impressed everyone- including me! He won his games with a brand of football that reflected his personality, it was both aggressive and never gave in even when they were trailing.

The comments coming from Arturo Vidal are great to hear, it is always a good sign when your players believe they have the ability to win everything. Yet he must not get to ahead of himselfor he may run the risk of winning nothing, because last year they didn't have to worry about the Champions League. Also last season they did draw a lot of games- 15 to be exact, and in a knockout game with the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and yes, even Manchester United, it will not be easy!

Juve play their games with such a high intensity that sometimes I fear that they might burn out. Not to mention that if they don't get the goals early on that they have some difficulty getting the goals. All the talk is that because they haven't got the "big name" striker they are still lacking. I tend to disagree, they may not have the big names but they have intelligent players that work for the team. Intelligence goes a long way because these player know how and when it is best to go forward and attack or when it is better to defend, And this can help them maintain their momentum and energy, as they wont just be running around like headless chickens!

Maintaining their concentration and motivation will be up to Conte, but something tells me he has a handle on it! All I'm saying is that Vidal has to remember that they have to beat the best teams in Europe before they can think about doing the treble and that's no easy feat especially in your first year back.

I'll be with you guys no matter what happens, I'm proud to be a Juventino!
