Renan Lodi edges Alex Sandro in battle of Brazil left-backs

ESPN FC’s Alejandro Moreno says Juventus’ defensive issues came to the forefront in a 2-2 draw against Atletico Madrid.

ESPN FC’s Alejandro Moreno says Brazil came together and proved that they were the best team at the Copa America despite Neymar’s absence.
After two glorious spells, more than 300 matches and plenty of titles, left back Filipe Luis left Atletico Madrid at the end of the last season to go home to Brazil. And, with typical modesty, he is inclined to believe that his successor will be better than him.
The club have signed his compatriot, 21-year-old Renan Lodi, and Filipe Luis has seen enough to be enchanted.
“I think he’ll be the best full-back in Atletico’s history,” Filipe Luis said. “He has all the conditions.”
Filipe Luis is not…

Juventus re-sign Alex Sandro amid Premier League speculation

A second-half penalty by Cristiano Ronaldo proved decisive as Juventus held on to win an uneventful Turin derby.
Alex Sandro has extended his Juventus contract until 2023 in a move which should quell speculation linking him with an imminent departure from Italy.
The Brazilian full-back, who joined the Bianconeri from Porto in 2015, has attracted interest from Manchester United and Chelsea in the past and only last month admitted he would relish a shot at playing in the Premier League.
However, he has committed his future to the Turin-based club by extending his contract until 2023 on Friday.

Juventus’ Alex Sandro has ‘desire’ to play in Premier League – but not yet

Alex Sandro admitted he has a desire to play in the Premier League one day but insisted he is happy at Juventus.

Juventus’ Massimiliano Allegri felt it was good to bounce back with a 2-0 win over AC Milan after they endured their first loss since April against Manchester United.

The Brazil international has been linked with moves to Chelsea and Manchester United in recent seasons but stayed with Juve despite battling Kwadwo Asamoah for a starting spot in Massimiliano Allegri’s defence in the previous campaign.
It has been a different story in 2018-19 with Sandro playing in every match so far following Asamoah’s departure to Inter…

Paulo Dybala, Alex Sandro fail to create in Juve’s disappointing draw to SPAL

Watch the full match highlights as Serie A leaders Juventus were held to a surprise goalless draw at lowly SPAL, but extended their lead at the top of the table to five points.

It was a frustrating day all-round for Gonzalo Higuain and his Juventus teammates.
Juventus’ 12-match winning streak came to an end when little SPAL showed enough discipline and determination to hold Juve to a 0-0 draw, effectively reopening the title race.

The Old Lady had come into the match in fine physical and mental form and were expected to grab all three points with ease. However, SPAL proved well organised at home as they sought to frustrate the opponent.
