News about Leonardo Bonucci

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI IN DORTMUND: From the nation that brought us catenaccio, there has been a whiff of defensiveness about the Italians this week as they ponder their peculiar status at Euro 2024. When they launch their campaign against Albania in Dortmund on Saturday night, it will be from the somewhat jarring position of being defending champions of whom far less is expected than normal. If they are to find familiar comforts in this tournament, it will be as dark horses. That has certainly been the consensus view aimed at a young group featuring only nine survivors from the triumphant class of 2021 and which bears little resemblance to the squad that beat England in the final at Wembley.

Italy and Juventus legend Leonardo Bonucci has announced his immediate retirement as the 37-year-old veteran defender calls time on a sensational 19-year career in top European football. He confirmed his retirement on social media, saying: 'As a child, I dreamed of this story I would tell, promising myself achievements to embrace against the biggest, celebrating, having faith through difficulties with courage.'

Gareth Southgate's side has been drawn in a relatively straightforward Group C for the tournament, alongside Denmark, Slovenia, and Serbia, who all seem to be going one better than Euro 2020. England reached the final at Wembley Stadium, with Luke Shaw giving the home team the lead early but Italy's victory on penalties following Leonardo Bonucci's second half equalizer. Southgate was on hand for the draw in Hamburg but was still worried about his team's prospects, but he's sure he's going to advance to the next round.

Leonardo Bonucci, a former Juventus defender, was apparently aware of Nicolo Fagioli's suspected betting, although Nicolo Fagioli's suspected betting was uncovered, but Nicolo Zaniolo is willing to testify about his suspected gambling habits. Zaniolo, Juventus player Fagioli, and Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonelli have all been named as part of a Turin prosecutors' probe that has shaken Italian football. After being question by Italian authorities at the squad's training base on the outskirts of Florence on Thursday, Zaniolo and Tonali were both suspended from the Italy squad.

We're often dismissing the Bundesliga as a one-club division, a 'Farmer's League,' by modern parlance, but we can skip over one of the most romantic stories in football in judging Germany's top-flight against Bayern Munich's 11 successive titles. Watch any post-match interview from any sport around the world and some iteration of the phrase 'the supporters cheered us over the line,' which is uttered, and while true, one club has a stronger fanbase than others. How many teams around the world can claim their supporters' own blood saved them from bankruptcy?What club can say their stadium was restored by the sweat and from their own loyal fans, after 140,000 hours of graft?Who else can say they've gone from the fourth-tier to the top division in just 13 years?

Leonardo Bonucci has signed for Bundesliga Union berlin on a free transfer, extending Italian football to the age of 36.

ALVISE CAGNAZZO: Leonardo Bonucci, the Italian national team's old defensive lion, is starting to show early signs of fading at the age of 36. Federico Gatti's physical fitness was preferred to Bonucci's knowledge, and Bremer replaced him for some time in the center of manager Massimiliano Allegri's three-man defense. Bonucci was not even selected for Juventus' pre-season tour of America this summer. He is technically out of the club's program, but he refuses to give up.

Massimiliano Allegri, Juventus's director, has denied that club captain Leonardo Bonucci will leave in January's transfer window. The Italian defender, 35, has made only seven starts in all competitions this season, and has fallen out of favour under Allegri. An earlier this week, sources revealed that the veteran was keen to leave the club due to his lack of contact with the Juventus manager. When Bonucci was suspended during Serie A games against Torino and Monza, Eyebrows had been raised.

After being caught out at a press conference this week, Italy defender Leonardo Bonucci called Ivan Toney the 'new one.' However, the 35-year-old has made sure he is oiled in case the England striker makes his England debut on Friday night. Bonucci claims he's been in the video analysis room longer to brace for a potential match with Toney on the pitch.

The Ultras of Juventus have broken out at club captain Leonardo Bonucci, who has said he is not a leader and will never be one. After a turbulent start to this season that saw Juventus win just two of their seven Serie A games going into the international break, the club's main fanbase has felt they must get their voices heard. After losing 1-0 to Monza on Sunday, Bonucci's second half strike brought the traveling fans to 'apologise.'

MICAH RICHARDS: Because his talent is unmatched, Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham must debut for England. In his sporadic appearances for the Three Lions, he has established himself in the Bundesliga team's Champions League games, as well as in his sporadic appearances for the Three Lions. Gareth Southgate needs to make the most of Bellingham, but his decision to snub Leicester City's James Maddison is a mistake, because he will bring a lot of quality to the team. Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool may be a vital asset for England coming into the World Cup in November.

When Kean was called "the worst" for his appearance, he was sarcastically applauded when he was recalled at the start of the second half for Arkadiusz Milik. The Old Lady bounced back from 2-0 down to salvage a 2-2 draw at the Allianz Stadium, with Brazilian center-back Bremer and Leonardo Bonucci being deciding for Max Allegri's men.

Juventus sank two goals in the first half against their unfancied opponents, but the team came back after the break through goals from Bremer and Bonucci. They then thought they had won a last-minute contest when Arkadiusz Milik flicked a header from a corner, but Bonucci was adjudged to have been offside and interfered with play. The incident resulted in tumultuous scenes at Allianz Stadium, with Milik being sent off for overcelebrating (but not for the intended goal to be disallowed), while Juan Cuadrado and Salernitana's Federico Fazio were both given their marching orders after breaking into a scuffle. Massimiliano Allegri, Juventus's manager, was also barred from the touchline.

Fragile is ALVISE CAGNAZZO: Fragile. In Juventus' last pre-season friendly on Sunday night, the best word to describe them is to say they were taken apart by Atletico Madrid. Alvaro Morata, their former striker, blasted them with a hat-trick, exposing deep insiders of Max Allegri's crew's operation, exposing serious deficiencies within the team's foundation. Juventus' problems are impossible to solve unless the club prohibits further investment in the playing team. Atletico's thrashing was a slap in the face for the players, and it would only raise questions for this team after losing stalwarts Paulo Dybala and Giorgio Chiellini this summer.
