Juventus Coach Targets Serie A Title, Identifies Chief Rivals For Italian Soccer Championship

FOXBORO, MASS. — Juventus hasn’t dominated Italian soccer in recent years by taking anything for granted. Head coach Massimilano Allegri laid out Juventus’ targets for the 2017-18 season Sunday following its International Champions Cup game against AS Roma at Gillette Stadium, telling reporters at his postgame press conference he expects rivals to resist his team’s bid for a record-extending seventh consecutive Serie A (Italy’s first division) title. “Six Scudetti (league championships) in a row is difficult, but obviously winning the seventh one is going to be even harder,” Allegri said. “The teams have reinforced themselves, have stren...

Jenkins expects Warburton to bounce back

Wales captain Sam Warburton has been backed to make a quick recovery from the crushing blow of his World Cup being ended by suspension. Warburton has started serving a three-week ban following his sending off by Irish referee Alain Rolland for a dangerous tackle on France wing Vincent Clerc during Saturday's 9-8 semi-final defeat.
