Tudor ‘disappointed' at Juventus fan insult against Vlahovic
The Bianconeri beat their Next Gen youth team 2-0 this evening at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin, with Douglas Luiz scoring a goal and then providing the assist for Vlahovic.
'It was great to see so many people in the stands,' coach Tudor said to reporters including Sportitalia and Tuttomercatoweb.
As per tradition, this pre-season friendly is abandoned before the full 90 minutes due to a pitch invasion from the supporters, even if they halted play a lot earlier than usual.
'It was a pity we didn't get to have at least 20 minutes in the second half, but that's fine, it was a good training session. I am satisfied, we keep working towards the games that matter.'

Vlahovic had been jeered by some of the crowd for an error just before the goal, then again after he scored, when he pointedly refused to celebrate.
'It's disappointing, he is still a Juventus player. He trains very professionally, he worked hard today, as did everyone. Douglas Luiz did well too, there is quality in this squad.'
There was another problem for Tudor today, because midfielder Fabio Miretti limped off with a muscular problem after just 38 minutes.
It could be a serious issue considering he is on the transfer market, so an injury could slow any potential sale.
'We'll see what the tests say,' concluded the Juventus coach.

Brooks scores on interception return as Ward has mixed results in Titans' 23-20 win over Falcons
ATLANTA (AP) — Kendell Brooks scored on a 53-yard interception return and rookie quarterback Cameron Ward had mixed results as the Tennessee Titans beat the Atlanta Falcons 23-20 in a preseason game Friday night. Joey Slye's 23-yard field goal with 9:03 remaining gave Tennessee (1-1) the lead. Falcons backup quarterback Emory Jones was stopped on a fourth-down run near the Tennessee 20 with 2:57 remaining. Jones was shaken up on the hit by linebacker Amari Burney and cornerback Jemari Harris. Jones walked off the field with assistance. Ward played three series and completed 2 of 7 passes for 42 yards. Ward's highlight was a 35-yard completion to Elic Ayomanor on the Titans' opening series. Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in this year's NFL draft, had another long pass dropped by Van Jefferson. The teams traded third-quarter touchdowns. Jemar Jefferson's 16-yard scoring run, which capped a 13-play drive, gave the Titans a 20-13 lead. Easton Stick, who played the first three quarters for Atlanta, threw a 52-yard scoring pass to Chris Blair to tie the game. Brandon Allen, who played behind Ward, threw a 25-yard scoring pass to tight end Gunnar Helm late in the first half. Nathan Carter produced the Falcons' first touchdown with a 43-yard run in the third quarter. Younghoe Koo kicked field goals of 42 and 36 yards for Atlanta (0-2). Just watching Among the Titans held out on offense were RB Tony Pollard, WRs Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett, RG Kevin Zeitler. Center Lloyd Cushenberry, who passed his physical Monday as he continues his return from an Achilles tendon injury, participated in pregame drills but did not play. Atlanta's top two quarterbacks, starter Michael Penix Jr. and backup Kirk Cousins, sat out for the second straight preseason game after receiving the bulk of the snaps in team drills in two joint practices against the Titans this week. RB Bijan Robinson and WRs Drake London and Ray-Ray McCloud also were spectators. Falcons rookie edge rusher Jalon Walker was held out after playing last week in a 17-10 loss to Detroit. Long road home The game completed a string of nine nights away from home for the Titans, who had a joint practice at Tampa Bay last week before their 29-7 loss to the Buccaneers. Backup QB shuffle Trevor Siemian, who was signed Monday, took over at quarterback for Tennessee in the fourth quarter and led the drive capped by Slye's go-ahead field goal. Siemian spent much of 2024 on the Titans' practice squad. He replaced Tim Boyle, who was released after completing only 4 of 13 passes for 24 yards with two interceptions against the Buccaneers. Stick, competing for Atlanta's No. 3 quarterback job, completed 15 of 25 passes for 145 yards with one touchdown and the one interception returned for a touchdown by Brooks. Allen completed 11 of 14 passes for 119 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Up next Titans: Following two road games, the Titans host Minnesota next Friday night.

Patriots Have 5 Wide Receiver Spots Locked Down Ahead Of Preseason Week 2
The Patriots are preparing for their second preseason game this weekend against the Minnesota Vikings. The team has been in Minneapolis since Tuesday, and participated in joint practices with the Vikings on Wednesday and Thursday. The Patriots dominated in their first preseason game against the Commanders, and it would be nice to see a similar performance in preseason Week 2. Most of the starter spots and key reserves are already locked down, but there is still plenty to be sorted out at the bottom of the roster. One of the position groups that will come down to the wire is the wide receivers. We've known that Stefon Diggs, Pop Douglas, Mack Hollins, and Kyle Williams are locks for a while now, but there may be a fifth receiver who can now officially be considered a lock. Evan Lazar of recently published his 10 takeaways from joint practices, and an entire paragraph was dedicated to the receiver position. Lazar thinks Kayshon Boutte is clearly the fifth receiver after an impressive summer. 'Five wide receivers appear to be clubhouse leaders for roster spots: Stefon Diggs, Pop Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins and Williams,' said Lazar. Of course, the team will likely keep six receivers, which means there's only one spot available. 'After that, Javon Baker and undrafted rookie Efton Chism III have separated into their own tier as roster candidates,' Lazar explained. 'Although he flashed as a receiver on day two, Baker's push is mostly coming from adding special teams to his repertoire, while Chism has become a favorite target for backup QB Joshua Dobbs. It'll be interesting to see if the Patriots keep both Baker and Chism on the initial roster. ' The team COULD decide to keep seven receivers, though, and it wouldn't be surprising. 'It's not unheard of to carry seven receivers. In fact, the Pats carried seven initially last season.' Chism is likely the favorite to land the sixth spot for now, as Lazar also said Chism was the best receiver on the second-team offense in practice this week. There's a good case to be made for Baker as well after Mike Vrabel praised the UCF product's performance against the Commanders.
