Mattia Furlani’s record

This time, the wind is opposite, even contrary.

Mattia Furlani, the new long jumper from Italy, wins in Hengelo in the Netherlands and sets the Italian Under-20 record. This is the first time in 19 years that Andrew Howe has surpassed the 8.11 with the which he won the gold at the 2004 World U20 Championships held in Grosseto. Furlani (Fiamme Oro), despite a headwind of -0.7, hits the mark on his first jump. He confirms the great impressions made in Savona (8.44, +2.2) with a quick run-up and perfect take-off.

The 18-year old Italian repeated his very high jump at the Fbk Games (a Gold leg on the Continental Tour) with 8.14 again upwind. With his 8.24 today, he is close to qualifying directly for the World Championships scheduled for Budapest in August (set at 8.25) and becoming the fourth Italian ever after Howe (8.47), Giovanni Evangelisti’s (8.43) or Simone Bianchi’s (8.25). The jumper, who trains with mom Khaty Seck in Rieti and dad Marcello, also becomes the fourth European Under-20 of all time, after Russian Sergey Morgunov’s 8.35, Greek Miltiadis Evangelisti’s 8.30, and Spaniard Eusebio Cáceres’ 8.27, which is on par with Russian Vladimir Ochkan’s 8.24. Furlani is able to celebrate his personal best of 20 centimeters, which is higher than his 8.04, with which he won the gold at the U18 European Championships held in Jerusalem last summer. He can also enjoy his success at one of the most prestigious international meetings, as well as a guarantee of substantial points in terms of world ranking, beating two valuable competitors such South Africa’s Cheswill Harrison (8.08/+1.1), and U.S. Mister Jump JuVaughn harrison (8.07/- In his series, there is also a null in the third jump, two jumps at 7.91 (+0.4), and 7.70 (0.4), and the run-up is only sketched out on the last entry of the platform. But above all, he knows that he is able to compete in the athletics which counts.

Juventus, Vlahovic: “Now we play a different game”

Juventus è back? Thiago Motta’s team won their first two league matches with a 3-0 double and è topped the Serie A standings alone. After the match won against Verona Dusan Vlahovic sent a message to DAZN microphones: “We are playing a different game”.

“Not to take anything away from the’last year where we did well, but we are playing a different game now. In the first day I was a bit unlucky, today two goals but I am happy for the team, for how we behaved, for the attitude and the result è the consequence”, explained the Serbian bomber.

Vlahovic also seems to be a different player: “Motta is working a lot on ’aggressiveness” and attitude in the game. You can do everything wrong but not the’attitude, from that comes everything. If you are there with the right head you get everything better”.

Beautiful Juve: Vlahovic and youth rout Verona. Thiago Motta first

Impeccable victory for Juventus at the Bentegodi in Verona. Gialloblù defeated 3 to 0, signed by a double from Vlahovic and Savona’s goal in front of 30 thousand spectators. The three points allowed Thiago Motta’s players, who fielded 7 players born in 2000 or later, to take the lone lead with 6 points after two matches.

Zanetti’s Hellas, stopped at 3 points, did not repeat the cautious first half against Napoli defensively, leaving the Bianconeri to act at will at speed. Thus’è was born the lead, thus’è materialized the doubling and, in the resumption, the tris. On the other front, Motta’s rearguard closed every opening while Di Gregorio è was decisive only at 38’ of the resumption on Tengstedt’s underhand touch.

First half. The teams on the field are studied with the’hope that a mistake of others can become an opportunity of their own. 14’: Livramento first, Mosquera then, have their conclusions knocked back, the second into a corner from which nothing springs. 17’: immediate the Bianconeri response, entrusted to Locatelli from outside, Montipò plastic in the corner with the same outcome as the previous one. As the minutes pass, Juve raises its center of gravity, Verona’s midfield and rearguard do not seem as airtight as against Napoli. Yildiz leads a couple of defenders astray, enters the area from the left, shot rebounded. Great aerial assist by Vlahovic that fishes, at the second post, Savona: goal, referee whistle, annulled for offside.

We restart after the refreshing break but the’impression was right: the Verona midfield è distant from the defense: no filter. Juve thanks. 28’: Yildiz, on a touch by Locatelli who had blown the ball in a contrast to Duda (regular according to the Var), invents in the central corridor for Vlahovic: the center forward, on speed, strikes Montipò for the Juventus 1-0. It takes Hellas a while to recover, at 36’ they win a free kick from the limit: Suslov beats it, nothing done. Once again Verona is found unprepared, catching another counter-attack: Mbangula’s center, Savona’s imperious take-off that beats Montipò with Vlahovic ready to put it back in the net: 2-0 Juve. Mosquera has the ball to reopen the game but he chinches before kicking with the result of seeing his two conclusions rebuffed. Three minutes of recovery, everyone in the locker room.

Start of resumption. Hellas forward, Juve waits for the opening to slip in for the third time. It happens after just 6’: the unleashed Mbangula makes the gap on the left, enters the box, is landed by Tchatchoua, penalty: Vlahovic from the penalty spot, 3-0 and personal double. Zanetti inserts Frese, Alidou and Tengstedt, then Harroui. The minutes tick by, Verona hits a wall. And when it isnè t so, Suslov’s free kick from the short side of the area, a safe shot finds Gatti

‘s foot.

Enter, in Juve, Douglas Luiz. Harroui takes off down the right and lets off a low shot at the first post that goes wide. Rouhi and Kalulu are also in, then Danilo and Anghele and in Verona Dani Silva. 38’: first save signed by Di Gregorio, decisive on Tengstedt’s underhand touch. Four minutes of recovery, triple whistle, Hellas Verona-Juventus 0-3.
