TURIN Gyasi Zardes Jersey , Italy (AP) — A week after the world record for the highest attendance at a women’s soccer club match was set, a league record in Italy was also broken.Juventus women’s team played for the first time at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday and a total of 39,027 people turned out to see the league leaders beat second-placed Fiorentina 1-0.That smashed the previous record attendance for a women’s club match in Italy of 14,000 spectators.All tickets on Sunday were free.“I had goosebumps so many times,” goalscorer Sofie Pedersen said. “It was amazing to have all those people coming and cheering for us and singing the Juve song and Juve all through the game. It was amazing.”It was only Pedersen’s third goal for Juventus since joining from Spanish side Levante at the end of last year.“It’s not really often that I score and I did it today. So that was amazing, I’ll never forget that,” the Denmark midfielder said.Defending champion Juventus extended its advantage at the top of the Serie A table to four points ahead of Fiorentina and five ahead of third-placed AC Milan.While the men’s team regularly plays in front of a sold-out Allianz Stadium, Juventus Women normally play their matches at the club’s training center in Vinovo, in a stadium with a capacity of less than 500.The match was also broadcast live in Italy by Sky, which shows at least one Serie A women’s match a week.But, with the eyes of so many upon them, Juventus and Italy captain Sara Gama conceded that neither team gave the best advert for women’s football.“I think neither team expressed their best football because there was so much heightened emotion,” the 29-year-old defender said. “I think that’s human.“Apart from anything it was a match where we were playing for the title Bobby Wood Jersey , so they are matches which are already tense, never mind the fact we were playing in front of 39,000 people. We’re used to playing in front of a lot less.”The stadium atmosphere appeared more relaxed compared to men’s matches, with plenty of young fans in attendance.Office worker Marco Ciocchetti, 51, seized the opportunity to take his sons Dario and Oscar, aged 7 and 9 respectively, to their first football match — and his wife Tecla, 43, said it was the promise of a peaceful match which prompted them to attend.“Unfortunately you often hear of fights happening outside the stadium and we knew nothing like that was likely to happen today,” she said. “It’s a great atmosphere and a fantastic way to spend the day. The children have never seen anything of this sort and so they’re very happy.”At which Dario piped up: “I’m more than very happy.”A total of 60,739 people were present at Atletico Madrid’s Wanda Metropolitano Stadium last Sunday as the hosts lost 2-0 to Barcelona in a women’s game. In January, Athletic Bilbao said it set a European club record when 48 https://www.thetopsoccer.com/usa/paul-arriola-jersey ,121 spectators attended a Spanish Cup match against Atletico Madrid at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao.The record for any women’s match was set in 1999 when 90,185 people watched the World Cup final between the United States and China at the Rose Bowl, which the U.S. won. At the 2012 Olympic final in London, 80,203 saw the U.S. beat Japan. Luciano Spalletti held his traditional pre-match press conference ahead of Inter’s crucial Serie A match against Sassuolo tomorrow night. Here is what he had to say to the journalists who gathered at the Suning Training Centre: “The Brothers Universally United (BUU) campaign? It’s a way in which the club has transformed an ugly episode into a great opportunity, definitively distancing itself from those who enact such negative behaviour inside the stadium. Interisti have always been Brothers of the World and the message launched by the club today fits this mould exactly.“We’re counting on the collaboration of our splendid support, who’ve always proven to be on the right side. The thousands of children that will be present at the stadium tomorrow can help spread a positive message – they are the ones that represent the future of our sport. I hope that every football club can share our message because we all want to eradicate racism.“I want to praise the Sassuolo hierarchy for the great work that they’ve put in over the past few years. They play good football and they’re convinced of their footballing beliefs – I congratulate De Zerbi. We’ll start again in the league based on our daily work. We want to express our attacking style of play against every opponent, even if we haven’t been at our best during the last few matches. We must be more consistent to ensure that we’re the type of team that we have in mind. In this sense, the win against Benevento demonstrated that we’re growing because it was a match that we could’ve underestimated. Sassuolo our bugbear? This is only added motivation for us. Mine and the team’s objective is to go and get all three points.“I don’t know how many points we’ll pick up in the second half of the season, but we must not place any limits on ourselves. We are Inter, we have strong ambitions and we want to achieve the best as possible. We want to win titles, it’s been too long for a prestigious club like Inter not to secure any silverware. However, it won’t be easy because there are many strong opponents Zack Steffen Jersey , Napoli for example. They’ve finished ahead of us in recent years, but we’ve also deservedly beaten them.“De Vrij? He’s a great professional and a top player. So far, he’s done what we expected from him. He’s got great quality, technique, he knows how to defend and he’s also got character and physical strength. The club did well to sign such a top player. Keita? It’s a shame that he’s picked up this injury. He was enjoying a good spell but our squad can overcome any absence. Nainggolan? He’s getting back to his best in terms of fitness. For him to make the difference he needs to be at his best physically. He’s sorry that he wasn’t at his best during this recent period, but he’s now returning to what we all expect him to be and he’ll demonstrate this from now until the end of the season.“Rumours? There’s absolutely no confusion within our club. We’re right in the middle of the winter transfer window so we accept all of the names and speculation that comes our way, as it always does. On social media, those at Inter must be aware that messages are open and are read by everyone. In this regard, Ranocchia’s message in the week was wonderful. He demonstrated that he cared for the good of Inter more than himself.”
