It has been said that, ―teamwork divides the work
and multiplies the success.‖ In many ways, I attrib-
ute 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 enthusi-
asm 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 ex-
pressing their sentiments. Please continue your sup-
port of zeb: we would love to hear any ideas you
might have about how to add new dimensions to
this magazine. Forza Juve!

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 some-
times I really need to work on the magazine. Some-
times, 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 de-
fend 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!

OUR AGENDA IN ACTION
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 work-
ing for you!
DEPARTING
Sadly, the Juventus Club DOC Board of Di-
rectors must say goodbye to Vice President
Domenic Cataldi. Due to business commit-
ments he is unable to continue to devote
himself at a Direc-
tor level and has
resigned his posi-
tion. While he, of
course, remains a
dedicated mem-
ber 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.
ANNOUNCEMENTS Happy events are plentiful among our Club members in
these past few months!
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 ho-
rizon!
The Juventus Club DOC Toronto sends its most heartfelt
auguri to Joe and Lauraine Callipari who celebrated
their 50th
W e d d i n g
Anniversary
on January
7th. The
c o u p l e ,
who reside
in London,
Ontario, will
have their
official cele-
bration in
Rome, Italy
in June,
where their
mass will be
officiated by Father Stefano De Fio-
res. 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.
WHAT’S NEW
We would like to wel-
come 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!

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 biancon-
eri 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 ob-
tain quality youth players. It’s an-
other thing to have them in our
hands and let them slip away.
There has been much disappoint-
ment on this front.
Hopefully we can
learn from this,
regroup and rally
going forward for
the rest of this
season and into
the beginning of
the next.
On the local
scene, our
Club is hap-
pily going
s t r o n g .
We’ve had
several won-
derful events
for our mem-
bers to enjoy
in the past
few months
and the new
year brings
with it many
more. Your
support is im-
portant and
much appreciated. I can’t wait to
see you all at our next events!

What it’s about
The Juventus Club DOC Toronto will
facilitate a platform for competitive,
regional level soccer players to
qualify for an Athletic/Academic
Scholarship. Both young ladies and
young men playing competitive
soccer in the GTA, (namely, in
Southern Ontario) are eligible. We
are a member-driven organization
that promotes the drive for excel-
lence both on and off the field of
play. As such, we would like to rec-
ognize those individuals who best
exemplify the spirit of fair play, who
possess the ability to balance both
academic and athletic success,
and who display leadership skills in
the pursuit of excellence. The award
will be aptly named the ―The Ju-
ventus Club DOC Toronto , Scholar-
ship Award‖. A winner must dem-
onstrate and possess all of the quali-
ties of fair play and sportsmanship
while in consistent pursuit of excel-
lence.
To be considered
The ―Club‖ will present one scholar-
ship award annually, for an amount
of $500.00, to a player/candidate
who qualifies based on the follow-
ing selection criteria:
• A student enrolled in Grade 12 (or
equivalent) and graduating during
the current season
• A student who
maintains a mini-
mum average of
75% during both
Grade 12 semes-
ters
• A candidate
that has played in
a recognized
C o m p e t i -
tive League for a
minimum of 3
years
A candidate
that has best ex-
empl if ied the
aforementioned
qualities of fair
play, academic and athletic excel-
lence, and leadership skills both on
and off the field
• A candidate that has been ac-
cepted (or will be by the end of the
current season) to a recognized Ca-
nadian College or University
• A candidate that has completed
community service work with their
respective Clubs/Distr icts or
Leagues (reference letter required)
The winning candidate/player
shall also agree to appear at a mini-
mum of two ―CLUB‖ functions during
the following season, including a
personal photo at the attending
College/University.
If the player/candidate fulfills
these qualifications, the respective
applications will be reviewed by the
Board of Directors and/or an Execu-
tive Panel and one award recipient
will be chosen. The award will be
presented at the conclusion of the
U18 Ontario Cup Final each season.
This award program will be re-
viewed annually and the Board re-
serves the right to make any neces-
sary adjustments based on budget-
ary considerations. The deadline for
submissions for consideration is July
1st of each season.

Come mai hai deciso di fare la gior-
nalista?
Una bella domanda questa. É suc-
cesso un pò per caso. Io mi sono lau-
reata in scienze ambientali così il
mio percorso mi portava da un altra
parte. Però ho fatto teatro fin da pic-
cola. 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
stato e sono diventata giornalista. E
devo dirti che adesso sono molto
contenta.
Che cosa ti piace di più del tuo la-
voro?
Mi piace la possibilita di raccontare
le emozioni che la gente vive at-
traverso lo sport, sia quando sono in
transmissione che anche in forma
scritta attraverso la scrittura di arti-
coli. 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 giornal-
ista e proprio quella di sapere rac-
contare 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'ambasciat-
rice della Juventus? Come é un on-
ore 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 deter-
minata. 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 Pre-
sedentesse 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 per-
ché 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 sicura-
mente la possibilità di lavorare in-
sieme 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 im-
portanti per me é un motivo di or-
goglio, anche perché sono una
giornalista donna ed anche io lavoro
in un ambiente maschile, per cui
a v a n t i
cosi!
Hai avuto
l'opportu-
nità di ve-
dere il
n o s t r o

Che ne
pensi?
É bello,
bello! lo

zeb. É un
o t t i m a
in i z ia t iva
che sec-
ondo me
contribuisce a crescere il giornalismo
anche qua, la sinergia nella commu-
nità italiana e anche tra i tifosi della
Juventus. Assolutamente vi consiglio
se potete di portarlo avanti e di ac-
crescere tutte le initiative legate al
giornalino. Penso che sia un cosa
molto importante e anzi sarebbe
bello se le nuove generazioni o i gio-
vani 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 watch-
ing 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 house-
hold with two Inter Milan (my father and
youngest brother) and two Juventus fans
(my other brother and I) makes the best Sun-
day 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
and interest ing.
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 be-
ing 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 for-
get. Forza JUVE!!
11 zeb 2.3
Una volta, il mai troppo compianto
amante della Signora bianconera,
Gabriele Pedano, prese di con-
tropiede il presidente Boniperti rac-
contandogli una freddura delle sue.
Gabriele, accostò il presidente men-
tre 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 pe-
riodo 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 con-
fusa da dirigenti improvvisati, privi di
cultura e di sapienza calcistica.
Il primo errore fu non rinnovare il con-
tratto 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 can-
tare 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
era già l¹uomo in charge. Quanto di
buono aveva
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 ri-
fare 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 Aqui-
lani 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 marginal-
mente.
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 friu-
lani), subito seguito dal primo crollo in
casa (3-1 per il Palermo): sono le av-
visaglie 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 mi-
raggio svanito brutalmente negli ul-
timo 180 minuti: due sconfitte, sette
gol subiti, uno realizzato.
Le due facce del ridimensionamento
di metà stagione sono soprattutto i
tanti, troppi, infortuni che hanno
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 arre-
trato 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 sem-
plicemente stanchi (Del Piero).
Per rimediare a questa situazione An-
drea Agnelli deve mettere mano alla
t a s c a , m a g a r i a t t i n g e n d o
dall¹ingente parimonio familiare.
Senza soldi, infatti, la processione non
cammina. E la ―nuttata‖ non passerà
facilmente.

o JUVE, ADDA PASSÀ A NUTTATA
12 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, Juven-
tus is looking to continue winning.
After just edging a UEFA Cup spot
last year and
being re-
c e n t l y
knocked out
of the EUFA
Cup this year,
Juventus can
now focus on
its main ob-
jective of vy-
ing for that
scudetto win.
One obstacle
will be facing
the high flying
Aquile.
In this week-
end’s game,
Juventus will
look to Fabio
Quagl iarel la
to provide the
striking power
up f ront.
Simone Pepe
has found his
form once
again, after
scoring a
howler last
w e e k e n 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 de-
feating 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 ser-
vices 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 in-
experienced 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.

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 de-
fenders 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 be-
fore 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 Alessan-
dro Del Piero proved once again
that he still has it. He bent in a bril-
liant 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. Af-
ter a trademark run by the Serbian,
he took a shot; while trying to
block the shot, Muslera hit the
b a l l i n t o h i s o w n n e t .
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 Kra-
sic.‖

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 specta-
tors 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 TOP 10 TIFOSI BIANCONERI
in i
tali
an
o
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
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 (ex-
calciatore 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.

TOP 10 TIFOSI BIANCONERI
Momenti storici
della nostra
Vecchia Signora
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.
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 opinionista-
tifoso sulla rete televisiva 7 Gold,
soprattutto per alcuni memorabili
collegamenti dagli stadi in cui era
impegnata la nostra squadra.
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.
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,
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.

Keeping our members informed as we
highlight local soccer events in
our community.
The Club, the Team, the Player…It is
with great respect and appreciation
that we feature the GU-15 OYSL Sun
Devils Girls Team in this issue of zeb
magazine’s ― Soccer in the City‖. As
a past Coach with the Glen Shields
Soccer Club, my team accom-
plished three consecutive League
and Cup Championship years,
namely 2006 CGSL U-17, 2007 CGSL
U-18 and 2008 OWSL U-21. I can defi-
nitely admire and recognize the ef-
forts 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 in-
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.
The Coaches see Gabby Kim as a
player that sets the tone and stan-
dard for hard work at Glen Shields.
She is a tenacious player who never
stops running and winning battles on
the field. She is a midfielder who has
the ability to play all positions. Her
Favorite player: Ji-Sung Park - Man-
chester United.
Dajana Solomun is one of the most
creative and exciting players to
watch in Ontario. She is an attack-
ing midfielder who possesses vision
and skill to make everyone around
her a better player. Her Favorite
player: Lionel Messi - FC Barcelona
“Coming together is a beginning.
Staying together is progress. Working
together is success.”
The beginning for the Glen Shields
Sun Devils 1996 girls team was at the
age of 8 when the team formed to-
gether 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 weak-
nesses in order to function as a
team. Throughout their existence,
like any organization, the Glen
Shields Sun Devils experienced chal-
lenges, frustrations, and excite-
ment. 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 en-
tered and placed second in its very
first tournament. Along with their ex-
perience 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 contin-
ued 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 com-
petitive edge, Glen Shields had to
develop new habits. This included
proper nutrition, sleep, and prepara-
tion. It turned out to be very worth-
while 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 tourna-
ments. Its success earned it a promo-
tion to play at the highest level in
2010 – the Ontario Youth Soccer
League.
2010 was a year of memorable ex-
periences and emotions, both happy
and sad. With eight players selected
to represent Team Ontario through-
out the winter season, the Sun Devils
had limited training time together
during the indoor season. They en-
countered 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 main-
tain first place in the league. As the
season progressed, the Ontario Cup
tournament took place. The Sun Dev-
ils 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-
sess ion and
goals, the game
was even at 2-2.
Skill, determina-
tion and smart
tactics were
shown on both
sides of the
pitch; however,
the deciding
penalty kicks
were in favor of
Brams who later
went on to rep-
resent Ontario at
the National
championships
in New
Brunswick.
Despite the loss,
the Sun Devils
were able to stay focused and win
another league title. Finishing on top
of the East division of the OYSL gave
the team a chance to play the West
division champions for an opportunity
to travel to Quebec. Once again,
luck was not on their side.
The game was lost in a very close
penalty shootout.
These two losses,
although very dis-
c o u r a g i n g ,
showed the true
strength of the
team. Players were
able to set aside
the losses and con-
tinued to play to
the best of their
ability with pride
and determina-
tion. Dedication
and hard work in
every game and
practice paid off in
the end. In the On-
tario Terra Power
Rankings, the team
is now ranked first
among the hun-
dred and fifty-five
1996 girls teams in
Ontario and num-
ber five for all
ages. All of these
upsets and experi-
ences will only
make the team
stronger next sea-
son.
After winning 24 tournaments, cups
and titles since 2005, this was only the
beginning.
Comments from coach Mark:
Success for our team comes down to
one s imple word: COMMI T-
MENT. From the very beginning, six

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 al-
ways comes down to commit-
ment. There are no shortcuts to suc-
cess or any great secrets to train-
ing. You simply have to put in the
hours to train and have a competi-
tive and structured environment that
allows players to succeed. When
others are relaxing and playing with
friends, great players are train-
ing. Support and positive reinforce-
ment from a player’s family
is crucial. Spending end-
less 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 seri-
ously. The 96 Girls team is a wonder-
ful 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.

Toronto, 23 novembre 2010
Ill.mo Sig. Presidente Agnelli,
Lascio da parte i preamboli e vengo subito al sodo.
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' autosugges-
tione me ne provoco' una veramente indescrivibile.
E' impensabile permettere a uno che sistematicamente, e senza al-
cun 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?
Resto nella speranza di un Suo ripensamento.
Distinti saluti.
Marisa Lombardi
Toronto, 3 dicembre 2010
Alla Dirigenza,
Nel 2011 la Juventus sicuramente avra' un ruolo piu' im-
portante, 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 esem-
pio: 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 seg-
nale 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'am-
biente bianconero. Ed anche adesso, che ha la possi-
bilita' di avere la sua stella, continua a dirne di cotte e di
crude, per non parlare, poi, del soprannome che l'avvo-
cato 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 ono-
rarlo vorrei almeno che quancuno mi spiegasse che
cosa c'e' dietro la loro decisione; cosi', forse, potro'
capirlo anch'io.
Forza Juve!

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 Juven-
tus 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 Capi-
tal Region. Members welcomed
her with open arms and ar-
ranged 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 Ot-
tawa Italian Community. The
evening was filled with many sur-
prises, one of them being an in-
ternational telephone connec-
tion with Mariella Scirea, who
congratulated the club for its
hard efforts. In addition, mem-
bers watched a video called
―Saluti Bianconeri‖ from Torino,
showing Juventus players greet-
ing Ottawa fans. Although the
players were not able to attend
the event, their presence was
marked with autographed jer-
seys by DelPiero and Buffon, put
on display for silent auction. The
evening continued with the fa-
mous ―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 sin-
cerely thank Miss Valeria Ciardi-
ello and the Juventus Channel
for making 2010 a special and
unforgettable year.
Grazie di cuore Vale-
ria!!! Torna presto che
Ottawa ti aspetta a
braccia aperte!

In this issue of zeb maga-
zine, we honour Moreno
Torricelli. The right-back
captured the hearts of
juventini everywhere with
his no-holds-barred work
ethic, and determination
on the field, making him
worthy of a place on our
Wall of Fame.

When Moreno Torricell i
started playing soccer at 8 in
Verano Brianza, Italy, he
never dreamed that he
would reach heights that he
later would with Juventus in
such a short span of time.
In 1990, he started playing
with regional team Caratese
while working in a factory. It
was when his team played a
pre-season friendly against
Juventus that Torricelli caught
the attention of then-
Juventus coach Giovanni
Trapattoni and was snatched
up by the Italian
giants, making
the jump from
regional team to
Serie A. He
made his debut
for Juventus in
the 1992-1993
season where he quickly be-
came a permanent starter,
going on to play in the UEFA
Cup as well, which Juventus
won that year.
A player with a lot of heart
and determination, he was
able to play in all the defen-
sive roles, though he pre-
ferred playing right-back.
One of his most famous
games was the Champions
League final of the following
year against Ajax, where his
stamina and tremendous
work on the field was noted
by all and his presence was
touted as one of the reasons
f o r
J u -
ventus' success in that game
(and in the tournament).
At the international level, Tor-
ricelli was called up to the
National Team 10 times, play-
ing on the squad for both the
1996 European Cup and the
998 World Cup.
In the 6 years he played for
Juventus he won 3 scudetti, 2
Italian Cups, 2 Italian Super
Cups, 1 Champions League
Cup, 1 UEFA Cup, 1 European
Super Cup and 1
Intercontinental Cup.
The carpenter from Brianza
lived the "Cinderella story"
and no-one will every forget
his contribution to our be-
loved bianconeri.
