U17
The Juventus Academy Shanghai U17 Senior Team began their new challenge this season in the Elite Tier of the SFA League. With opponents such as Shanghai Port (SIPG), Shenhua, and Lucky Star within the same group, the boys are participating in the most competitive league in Shanghai. Juve's first fixture against AKSIL ended in a comfortable 5-0 win for the Bianconeri.
The team played in a 4-3-3 formation. Despite missing a few key players due to various injuries, the team controlled the entire match with great performances all around. The first half ended 1-0 with a long-shot goal from Eli, with the opponents being able to minimize losses due to a few good saves made by the goalkeeper. However, Juve continued to dominate in the second half and Eli's two additional goals made it a hat-trick for the #10. As the opponent slowly dropped off in stamina and determination, Sam and Ross each scored one to seal the deal. 5-0 for Juve, great start to the season!
U14
The U14 team ended their SYFL season on a high note, winning 5-1 against their opponents in their final league match. With all five goals coming from Alvaro, the entire team did extremely well to control the match and showed true Juventus spirit on the pitch.
Juve controlled the game from the very beginning, creating many good attacking chances while the midfield and defense stayed solid and reliable. Due to a lack of luck, the first half ended with just one goal. The second half went smoother and Alvaro scored four more, making his total tally an impressive 15 goals in 8 matches. The opponents did find a bit of consolation later in the match with a goal, but Juve looked dominant throughout the match. Masterclass performance, with amazing commitment and dedication shown from every single player. It has been a great run for the U14 and they definitely rose up to the challenge. Now we wait for the rest of the teams to complete their fixtures, but the team is sure to be awarded a medal.
Great job and congratulations, Forza Juve!
