00:00And a side at this level for the first time in 15 years.
00:11Results reflect the contrasting status.
00:17Juventus thus far perfect, Stuttgartwinless.
00:20It did take some classic Champions League drama for Juve to make it two wins from two.
00:26coming from behind with 10 men to beat another German team, Leipzig.
00:31Stuttgart ruffle Real Madrid's feathers before succumbing to defeat on matchday one.
00:36Their follow-up was therefore disappointing, held at home by Sparta Prague.
00:42The Bianconeri anticipate another victory.
00:45Stuttgart have a Champions League upset in their crosshairs.
00:57He's not a child
01:05He's not a child
01:09He's not a child
01:13He's not a kid
01:17He's not a child
01:26But Thiago Motta, far and away currently the happier of the two head coaches.
01:32Sebastian Hoeneß, hardly in need of a morale-boosting victory for Stuttgart.
01:38But will it come tonight?
01:50Who has scored six goals already this season is certainly a player to keep an eye on.
01:57Well perhaps unsurprisingly considering how infrequently they have swam in the same waters.
02:03This is a first ever meeting between Juventus and Stuttgart.
02:07And the German side have never tasted victory on Italian soil in European club competition.
02:14In-camera shots have been warming up, so obviously felt something.
02:18Levelling
02:23Looking to take the game to Juve early on, Mittelstadt.
02:31Levelling being closed down by Konsei Sau but eluding his challenge.
02:40I think you could argue a genuine contender for the Scudetto this season.
02:45Always a hard league to win.
02:48Well Juve fancied they should have had a free kick there.
02:52Mittelstadt is allowed to carry the ball forward and find Levelling.
02:57Another goal tonight, Dushan Vlahovic.
03:00Not that he's been stark of them recently, it's just only one of his seven so far this season.
03:05Has come at home.
03:08Konsei Sau.
03:11Back peddling Alexander Nubel-Grafs.
03:14If Konsei Sau is picking the ball up on the left hand side, if you are Vlahovic, you are.
03:17Yielding is on the far side, make a run in the box because Konsei Sau has got great delivery.
03:22Wonderful left foot.
03:24Young boys at home.
03:27Juan Cabal.
03:29First foray forward for him, in towards McKinney.
03:32Crucial touch.
03:34Glanced away by Chabot, retrieved by Konsei Sau.
03:38Savona.
03:42Francisco Konsei Sau.
03:46Swept away by Chabot.
03:48He's one of them players, Konsei Sau.
03:50Diminutive, yes.
03:52Great left foot.
03:54But he's one of these players when you're defending, you know exactly what he's going to do.
03:56But you can't stop him.
03:58He's going to jink back onto his left foot.
04:01It's Fagioli.
04:05It's Konsei Sau again.
04:07But Mittelstadt backpedaling.
04:09Support from Savona.
04:13Wait on the pass.
04:15Back to Savona.
04:17Wasn't quite right and in the end the flag went up.
04:19Yeah.
04:21Just a yard short.
04:23Then Konsei Sau was waiting for Savona on the overlap.
04:25That needs to be played.
04:27That needs to be played.
04:29A good yard in front of him.
04:41Kalulu.
04:45Konsei Sau.
04:47Probably won't be the last time tonight that he's fouled.
04:49No.
04:51Like I said, he's one of these players who's got fantastic balance.
04:54Short centre of gravity.
04:56Very difficult to mark.
04:58Konsei Sau.
05:00Juve's first corner.
05:02Headed down by Kalulu.
05:06Savona is going to be penalised for a little shove on Mittelstadt.
05:18Levelling.
05:20Dispossessed by Konsei Sau.
05:23Konsei Sau.
05:29Schaubach.
05:35Another play for Mittelstadt.
05:39Extraordinary really the way that Stuttgart have gone about the
05:43opening 17 and a half minutes
05:45that they are winless in 4
05:47since putting 5 goals past Borussia Dortmund
05:49and slumped to a 4-0 defeat.
05:53At the hands of Bayern at the weekend.
05:55Yet another Harry Kane hat-trick for Bayern.
05:57Could have been a lot more as well.
05:59But maybe it's the fact that they are sitting in the elimination zone
06:01Stuttgart.
06:03They've looked at that sort of mini-league table
06:05and thought, well, we've got to get going.
06:07We've got to pick up some points.
06:11The test will be if they go 1-0 behind.
06:13That'll be the test of the mentality but
06:15can't fault their start.
06:17As we said before, there's some home games.
06:19Yeah, they'll be tough.
06:21Atalanta will be tough.
06:23Young boys at home. PSG
06:25will be very tough.
06:27The last home game. The last game they've got
06:29in the Champions League.
06:31Maybe Red Star away.
06:33Slava Bratislava away.
06:35Potential points.
06:39Two options in this scenario.
06:41Normally.
06:43They've either got to fight their way through the next 5 attempts
06:46or get on the ball.
07:00Bundab.
07:02Operating.
07:04Having to come deep.
07:06On the other side.
07:08Konsei Sau at times.
07:10But now Juventus have got a chance to break.
07:12And here is Francisco Konsei Sau.
07:15Up against Mittelstadt.
07:17Well, he tried the old trick
07:19of ball one way, my run goes the other.
07:21And there's no free kick forthcoming.
07:23No, I didn't see any contact.
07:25I get the trick he was trying
07:27but I think he'd lost the ball there.
07:29I mean, I could be wrong and there might be
07:31a collision but it didn't look like a foul in real time.
07:37Have a look here.
07:39He's trying to knock the ball.
07:41There is a little bit of a knee on knee.
07:44Not easy for the referee to try and spot that.
07:46I think he lost control of the ball anyway.
07:50Well, if the contact had been
07:52just inside rather than just
07:54outside the penalty area
07:56then we could have been in for some scrutiny.
07:58Different conversation.
08:00I think it was the fact that
08:02Konsei Sau lost the ball.
08:04Lost possession of the ball.
08:06I think that's why the referee thought
08:08he weren't really getting on the end of
08:10the accidental trick.
08:12It's a play on.
08:16TNT Sports and Discovery Plus
08:18will have live coverage of every
08:20Autumn Nations Series match.
08:22Kicking off with England vs New Zealand
08:24at the Allianz Stadium
08:26in Twickenham. That's on Saturday
08:28the 2nd of November.
08:34McKennie.
08:37Advantage being played here.
08:39Konsei Sau.
08:42Savona with him.
08:46Previous domestic game
08:48for Stuttgart.
08:50They needed a 90th minute equaliser against
08:52Hoffenheim. They are
08:54putting together an all together. More convincing
08:56showing against Thiago Motta's team.
09:00He had a couple of good wins
09:02against Gladbach and Thrash and Dortmund
09:045-1. The reason that no
09:06chances are being taken with the
09:08trip to Inter in
09:10Serie A to come at the weekend. One of the
09:12absolute showpiece
09:14fixtures of the
09:16Italian season. The Derby d'Italia.
09:18Picking up a few now, Juve, aren't they?
09:20Injuries. Bremer
09:22ACL. Pope Minor's rib.
09:24Nikan Gonzalez
09:26the new signing's done his thigh.
09:31They'll be slightly concerned
09:33that Francisco Konsei Sau keeps
09:35finding himself in the wars.
09:40I think he's the type of winger where
09:42he attracts attention.
09:50Accidental clip on the back of the ankle.
09:55The referee's had a good game.
09:57Just saying to Llewellyn
09:59wasn't much in that but be careful.
10:03Well if the Stuttgart players on their
10:05walk around Turin earlier grabbed
10:07a newspaper
10:09they may well have seen the same article
10:11that I did which
10:13referred to Francisco
10:15Konsei Sau as the tin opener.
10:17The man that the Italian
10:19press think can be the
10:21one to prize open the Stuttgart defence
10:23today.
10:25Jeff Chabot
10:33Mittenstaden
10:35Konsei Sau
10:37That's a really good battle between
10:39the two number sevens.
10:47Super pass
10:49Great first touch from Mittelstadt.
10:55Turan
10:57Just about evading
10:59Carrizor. In fact Turan's done brilliantly.
11:01Yes that's the difference
11:03between the two sides. Stuttgart pressing
11:05Juve high on the pitch.
11:07Savona
11:09for Konsei Sau
11:13Maggioli
11:15Turan
11:17Vlahovic
11:19McKennie
11:22Maggioli
11:24McKennie
11:30Well difficult to fault
11:32over to Thiago Motta
11:34what's the change is going to be
11:36on the game plan in the second half?
11:38Arguably even more
11:40disappointing than that was the fact that
11:42they were held to a draw at home to Sparta Prague
11:44and actually in that game were a little bit
11:46fortunate if anything not to lose it.
11:52Turan
11:54Winning it back and finding
11:56McKennie
11:58Mittelstadt intercepting
12:00a pass intended for Francisco
12:02Konsei Sau. He's defended
12:04well up against Konsei Sau but also
12:06he took him the other way. He's got forward.
12:08There you go
12:10another 50-51 for Mittelstadt
12:14Try and get some control of that
12:16midfield
12:18Maggioli
12:22as Juventus prepare to make changes
12:24finds Konsei Sau
12:26Francisco Konsei Sau
12:34in from Milho
12:36grabbed by Perin
12:39who spots an option
12:43Illes
12:45Konsei Sau
12:48being grappled with
12:50yellow card is coming out
12:52it will be a free kick
12:54Anthony Urua
12:56penalized
12:58Yeah he knew he was in trouble there
13:00I think it was the fact that
13:02Konsei Sau showed great feet and balance
13:04to get away from him
13:06just a tug on the shoulder
13:13Is a triple change
13:15that tells you everything you need to know
13:17about how satisfied Thiago Mota is
13:20the way things are going
13:23Weston McKinney 1
13:27coming on
13:29Manuel Locatelli, Timothy Weah
13:31and Andrea Cambiazzo
