Just hours after cheering their heroes from the field at Juventus Stadium on Friday night, a lucky clutch of Bianconeri supporters got an even closer look at the reigning champions in Vinovo during Saturday morning’s open training session.
Over 400 Juve fans were on hand to witness a jovial but no less intense workout from Massimiliano Allegri’s men, among them J|Members, Scuola Calcio juniors, an army of Club Doc members and of course Jay, the day’s pre-kick-off entertainer.
Fittingly, with a return to continental competition just around the corner in the form of Porto next Wednesday, there was a distinctively international feel to proceedings with representatives from the Club Doc supporter associations of Hong Kong, London Bianconera, Cuore Juventino Morlanwelz, Malta Vero Amore, Oman, Sillicon Valley, Singapore and Stassernoven all present to give the Bianconeri a hero’s reception.
On the field, it was business as usual, with those involved in last night’s resounding 4-1 win over Palermo undergoing a routine warm-down stretching session to one side, while the remainder of the squad gave their public plenty to enjoy with a series of shooting and quickfire possession drills.
A super Saturday in the sun was rounded off in traditional fashion with a bumper autograph and photo session, the staple of any Juve family gathering.
Let the Champions League countdown begin…
