'Chiellini at 20 was like him, maybe worse' - Allegri predicts long Juve future for De Ligt despite Raiola comments
Massimiliano Allegri has reminded Matthijs de Ligt's critics that even Giorgio Chiellini had his struggles as a young player and is convinced the Dutchman has a long future ahead of him at Juventus despite Mino Raiola encouraging speculation.
De Ligt joined Juve on the back of Ajax's unlikely journey to the 2018-19 Champions League semi-finals, in which he played a vital role as he helped build moves from the back with his passing abilities but also proving a dominant physical presence despite his tender age.
His 0.45 headed shots on target every 90 minutes was the most of all defenders in the competition to play at least 270 minutes that season, while only four of them bettered his 4.2 aerial wins per game.
While De Ligt has not made quite the same use of his physicality at Juve, those strengths could lend themselves to a future in the Premier League, where he is thought to be admired by numerous clubs, with his agent Raiola suggesting on Saturday that the Dutchman may not see out the rest of his contract, which runs to 2024, at Juve.
Raiola's comments came after seeing De Ligt dropped for last week's 2-1 defeat at Napoli and playing in only one of the Netherlands' three recent World Cup qualifiers, with the centre-back yet to truly convince since signing two years ago.
The spotlight is very much on Juve's defence ahead of Sunday's clash with Milan, as they have conceded in each of their previous 17 league games, the third-longest run in club history and the worst currently across Europe's top five leagues.
But Allegri appears to retain belief in De Ligt, backing him for a long future at Juve.
"I've already said it before; De Ligt is 22 years old, he's very good, but when you arrive at Juve with an enthusiasm that overwhelms you, it's normal to lose some clarity," the Juventus head coach told reporters when asked about Raiola's comments.
"When he was signed, someone described him as a future Ballon d'Or winner, but it requires tranquillity. He was a 20-year-old boy who arrived at Juventus, a shirt that weighs heavy.
"Chiellini at 20 was like De Ligt, or maybe worse. Then at 28 he became a serious player.
"There is a path for everyone, players and coaches. De Ligt is still a young, good player, who can stay at Juve for many years, regardless of whether he plays one more or one less game."
Allegri turns to mind games ahead of Milan clash: 'This game is more important for them'
Massimiliano Allegri claims Sunday's Serie A clash between Juventus and Milan is more important for the Rossoneri despite him overseeing a miserable start to 2021-22.
Allegri is three league matches into his second spell in Turin but there has been no sign of a honeymoon period, with Juve yet to win any of those matches.
They relieved a hint of pressure with a 3-0 Champions League win on Tuesday, though the good will from that victory will only last so long given it was against Malmo.
Failure to get off the mark on Sunday will leave Juve winless across their first four Serie A matches in a single season for only the fourth time, the most recent occasion being in 1961-62.
By contrast, Milan – who this season are in the Champions League for the first time since 2013-14 – have won all three of their Serie A games in 2021-22, with Stefano Pioli's men second only to Roma on goal difference.
Despite their differing starts to the season, Allegri insists Sunday's encounter is a bigger deal for Milan than Juve, and he also wanted to stress there is no reason to panic for their title hopes if Pioli's side do leave with a positive result.
"Tomorrow's game is more important for them than for us," Allegri told reporters, though he would not openly elaborate on why he felt this way. "That's what you have to say, otherwise I will help you too much."
On the title race, he added: "I believe there is no team that can crush the championship. Maybe I'm wrong.
"You can lose points, but you can also quickly recover them. We must not think that if we lose then we will be 11 points behind, we have to work thinking about making up for the ground that we lost at the beginning.
"I have always said that, the championships are won against the smaller teams. We don't know what tomorrow's result will be because the devil invented football: you can play well and still maybe you lose or draw.
"It's not that before Malmo we had become poor drunks and now we are phenomenal again. We need balance. You have to work and have the ambition to win.
"I have to be a coach, because the team goes out on the pitch, but I also have to hammer on the psychological aspect because Juve is a team that has to play not to win games, but to win championships.
"Everyone wins matches, all teams, but the championship will only be won by one. In the end, the team that was the best will win the championship."
Allegri's return after two years away understandably conjured up memories of Juventus' remarkable streak of nine successive Scudetti, with the 54-year-old in charge for five of them.
But he feels comparisons between the two distinctly different teams and eras are unhelpful.
"I have found a Juventus with different players," he continued. "We must not think of comparing Juve today with what it was in the past.
"This team has its own identity as well as individual characteristics of the players. You need to become a team by improving many things, in terms of personality, technique and patience in playing. But it's just a different Juve."
In a potential blow for Juve, Allegri confirmed Federico Chiesa is a doubt for Sunday's game.
The Italy international has been involved in six goals against Milan in Serie A, a haul he has bettered against no other team.
He also scored his only brace with Juventus in the Italian top-flight against the Rossoneri in January.
Juventus v Milan: Szczesny and defences in spotlight as Serie A history beckons
For so long, Juventus dominated Serie A and Milan.
Juve won nine successive Scudetti before being dethroned by Inter last season. Gianluigi Buffon was involved in eight of them.
But it's a period of change in Turin, where Wojciech Szczesny is well and truly under the microscope after an error-riddled start to the 2021-22 season.
As Juve struggle defensively, form could hardly be more contrasting heading into Sunday's blockbuster showdown in the northwest of Italy.
Milan have continued to be a solid defensive outfit, winning their opening three league fixtures, and the resurgent Rossoneri could strike an early dagger to the heart of the Old Lady.
Woeful Woj as Allegri tries to avoid unwanted record
"I think Juventus will regret not signing Donnarumma for a long time."
That was Mino Raiola – the agent of Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma – speaking to Rai Sport on Friday. Based on what has transpired so far, he is right.
The star Italy goalkeeper had been tipped to swap Milan for Juve in the off-season before moving to the French capital on a free transfer. Juve must be shaking their heads after watching Szczesny's torrid start to the season under Massimiliano Allegri.
Allegri has had his hands full since returning to Allianz Stadium after two seasons away, replacing Andrea Pirlo. The title-winning boss is trying to navigate the exit of superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. If the departure of the almost-irreplaceable Ronaldo was not hard enough, Szczesny has made life even more difficult.
The former Arsenal keeper has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, his two howlers against Udinese and Napoli the catalyst for Juve's winless start to the campaign.
The Bianconeri could go without a victory in their first four Serie A seasonal matches for the fourth time in their history, after 1961-62, 1955-56 and 1942-43. In those campaigns, Juve did not go on to win the title. They have never lost three of the first four Serie A games in a season.
They have conceded five goals in three matches and are yet to keep a clean sheet domestically, shipping goals in each of their past 17 league games – only twice have Juve conceded in more consecutive Serie A fixtures (19 in 2010 and 21 in 1955). That 17-game run is the worst of its kind across the top-five European leagues since March.
Szczesny's numbers do not make for pretty reading.
Since 2018-19, the Poland international has conceded 90 goals in 90 Serie A appearances with expected goals against (xGA) of 99.88, suggesting he should have let in nearly 10 goals more. For some comparison, Buffon's xGA-goals conceded difference – goals he prevented, in other words –was 2.62 from 17 matches, so Szczesny holds his own there.
The numbers do not get much better, though. A maligned figure from his days at Arsenal, Szczesny has shipped 99 goals in 107 Serie A games for Juve. Since 1994-95, his average of 0.93 goals conceded is worse than ex-Juve goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar (0.70 from 46 goals conceded in 66 games), Buffon (0.76 from 373 conceded in 489 matches), Michelangelo Rampulla (0.85 from 33 conceded in 39 fixtures) and Angelo Peruzzi (0.85 from 120 conceded in 141 appearances).
Szczesny – with a save percentage of 72 and an average of 2.49 stops per 90 minutes – has committed three errors leading to goals during his time with Juve in Serie A. Since 2004-05, only Buffon managed more (13), albeit in 391 games.
This season, Szczesny's expected goals against is 5.86 through three matches. Milan counterpart Mike Maignan's figure stands at 2.33.
When Milan refused to meet Donnarumma's demands, they wasted little time turning to Maignan, who had just led Lille to a shock Ligue 1 title after upstaging PSG.
Maignan has been a steady presence in Milan with a joint-league-high two clean sheets, while the France international tops the list in save percentage (90), well ahead of Szczesny (66.67).
Kjaer spearheading Milan back to summit
While Juve duo Leonardo Bonucci and Matthijs de Ligt lick their wounds, Simon Kjaer and Fikayo Tomori continue to flex their muscles at San Siro.
In the era of three points per win, Milan have won each of their first four Serie A seasonal games only twice: in 1995-96 under Fabio Capello and last season with Stefano Pioli at the helm. The Rossoneri won the title in 1996, while they finished second to Inter in 2020-21.
High-flying Milan are on the cusp of matching that feat thanks to the help of Kjaer and Tomori and perhaps even more than that as the resurgent powerhouse dream of a first Scudetto since 2011.
Kjaer and Tomori have formed an unlikely but rock-solid partnership at the heart of Milan's defence. Pioli's side have only conceded one goal to start the Serie A season. Since last May, Milan have the most clean sheets in the big five European leagues (seven in eight matches).
The pair's form has left captain Alessio Romagnoli sidelined and considering his future – not something you would have anticipated when Kjaer arrived following a brief spell at Atalanta, initially on loan in 2020.
Kjaer has come into his own in Milan, establishing himself as a key member on and off the pitch under Pioli, tallying 178 clearances in the league since January 2020 – a number only behind Torino's Bremer (219), Omar Colley of Sampdoria (214), Fiorentina star Nikola Milenkovic (205), ex-Viola centre-back German Pezzella (191) and Lazio's Francesco Acerbi (190) among defenders.
The 32-year-old Denmark international has also provided security in the air, with his 93 headed clearances the fourth most among defenders since January 2020, after Milenkovic (122), Bremer (119) and Colley (103).
"It happens a lot with defenders that they kind of find their own style later on. That has happened with Simon," former Denmark international Jesper Olsen told Stats Perform.
"You're playing at a top team and expected to do really well. We know your last game played doesn't count anymore, it's the next one. He just seems very settled."
Tomori, who completed a permanent switch from Champions League holders Chelsea in July after impressing on loan, scored the last time these two teams met – a 3-0 victory in Turin in May.
Milan have won two of their most recent three Serie A matches against Juventus, as many as in their previous 17 (D1 L14).
Allegri relieved as Juventus ease past Malmo to end winless run
Massimiliano Allegri admitted there was increased pressure on Juventus in Tuesday's Champions League opener but expressed relief after coasting past Malmo 3-0.
Juve were winless in their first three Serie A games but eased to a sixth straight group-stage away win as they continued their unbeaten run against Swedish opposition in Europe.
Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala were both on the scoresheet as the visitors opened the Champions League with a win by a three-plus goal margin for just the second time, the other against Feyenoord in 1997-98.
And Allegri, who returned to the helm in Europe with his side for the first time since April 2019, was relieved following a fixture which came with added pressure due to their poor start.
"When you play in the Champions League, there is always some tension in the build-up, especially when playing away from home," Allegri told Sport Mediaset.
"There was naturally a little more pressure after three Serie A games in which we didn't do that well.
"The lads played well on a technical level, we could've done better with some situations in the first half. We need to improve, but this doesn't change the work we started on July 14.
"The psychological aspect is 90 per cent of sport, because when you make individual errors like we did so far this season, it makes us see things negatively.
"Results affect the way your work is judged, but we must do well to retain a balance both in defeat and above all in success."
The Bianconeri's sixth straight group-stage away win stretching back to last season extended upon what was already their longest such run.
Morata has scored six goals in his last six away games in the competition – as many as he had netted in his previous 22 – and he insisted Juve were not worried despite their winless run.
"No, we went through various situations here at Juventus, there weren't as many positive things as now," Morata responded to Sport Mediaset post-match when asked if his side were concerned ahead of Tuesday.
"You have to take the good, be positive as a team, as a club, as fans. You have to go on along the same lines.
"We had a serious match, both today and with Napoli, but sometimes football is like that, episodes make you draw or even lose. Today it was essential to win. Now let's put our heads back on the championship."
Allegri adamant winless start will make Juventus stronger
Massimiliano Allegri has full faith in his Juventus squad turning around their campaign and challenging for the Serie A title after falling to a 2-1 loss at Napoli.
Juve's slow start to Allegri's second spell in charge continued on Saturday as second-half goals from Matteo Politano and Kalidou Koulibaly earned Napoli a comeback win.
The Bianconeri, who led through Alvaro Morata's 10th-minute strike, have now failed to win any of their first three league games for just the second time in 52 Serie A seasons.
Saturday's late loss also means Allegri has failed to win any of his past eight league games in charge of Juve either side of a two-year sabbatical.
After collecting just one point from their first three matches of the 2021-22 campaign, six-time Scudetto winner Allegri is adamant that his side will grow stronger.
"I have ample trust in this group. I know they will make up the lost ground," he said. "This group is destined to grow thanks to the blows taken.
"This evening's defeat was different and we must quickly put it behind us."
After profiting from a Kostas Manolas error to take the lead in Naples, Juve themselves gifted their opponents – who now have three wins from three – a couple of goals.
Wojciech Szczesny parried Lorenzo Insigne's shot into the path of Politano for Napoli's leveller and could only push a poor Moise Kean header straight to Koulibaly for the late winner.
It is the first time since March 2010 that Napoli have recovered from a losing position to beat Juventus in the league and Allegri accepts his side were not good enough.
"I liked the attitude of the team in the first half, but in the second half Napoli got the upper hand. Sometimes you are made to pay for individual mistakes," he said.
"Szczesny does not lack calmness. He made a mistake with his handling today, but he will be in the team on Tuesday.
"As for Kean, these things happen in football sometimes. We also conceded similar goals to Udinese and Empoli
"From a technical point of view, we could have done better. We haven't won yet, but now we start thinking about our next match in the Champions League."
That European tie with Malmo on Tuesday is followed five days later by a huge clash with Allegri's former side Milan at the Allianz Stadium.
"We know that we need to be more lucid near the area, though the team did what I asked of them today from a tactical point of view against a good Napoli side," Allegri added.
"In football there is no room for mistakes. We have an important test ahead of us that we must overcome in order for it not to become a mental thing."
Juve, who were missing some key players on Saturday, managed just eight shots in total against Napoli and none at all on target in the second half.
That makes it back-to-back blanks for the Bianconeri since Cristiano Ronaldo left the club to rejoin Manchester United, but Allegri reiterated he is eager to move on from that high-profile exit.
"Ronaldo is part of the past, he made a choice," Allegri said. "Now he's gone. Juve let him go because you can't keep a player against your will."
Pjanic wanted to return to Juventus as he advises Dybala contract renewal
Miralem Pjanic revealed his desire to re-join Juventus last transfer window and encouraged Paulo Dybala to renew his contract in Turin.
Pjanic, 31, made 108 Serie A starts for Juve before departing to Barcelona in 2020, where he clashed with head coach Ronald Koeman and subsequently joined Besiktas on loan in September.
However, with former boss Massimiliano Allegri back in charge in Turin, the midfielder expressed his love for the Bianconeri and admitted he wanted to re-join.
"With Juve there have been contacts and appointments with my agent, but the transfer market is never easy," Pjanic told Tuttosport.
"I would have liked to come back and I would have done everything to find [Massimiliano] Allegri, a guarantee.
"No one is better than him in these situations. Max makes all the players feel important and he doesn't deny anyone a chance. I consider him number one, he's a coach who talks to you for better or for worse."
Allegri's second spell has not started well, picking up just one point in his opening two games – Juve having only failed to win any of their first three Serie A games once in 51 seasons, under the same coach in 2015-16.
Dybala, who has been involved in four goals in his last four league games, will be absent for the trip to Napoli but Pjanic implored his former team-mate to commit his future to the club.
"[Paulo] Dybala is top, but Iike with everyone, he needs the team," the Bosnia-Herzegovina midfielder continued. "I would advise him to stay at Juventus, where they love him.
"But these are personal choices, difficult to judge from the outside, because sometimes one feels the need for new challenges."
Dybala, Chiesa and Cuadrado absent for Juventus against Napoli, says Allegri
Massimiliano Allegri revealed Juventus will be without their South American contingent, including Paulo Dybala, and the injured Federico Chiesa as they prepare to face Napoli on Saturday.
Dybala, who has been involved in four goals in his last four league games, heads the absentee list, which also includes Rodrigo Bentancur, Danilo, Juan Cuadrado and Alex Sandro.
Juve have managed just one point from their opening two Serie A games, only once in their history - Allegri's first spell in 2015-16 – have they failed to win any of their opening three matches.
And matters have worsened for the Old Lady as Allegri confirmed on Friday that the visitors will be without their South American players after their late returns from international duty.
"I decided to leave the South Americans at home because they will return too late," Allegri told Friday's pre-match news conference.
"[Juan] Cuadrado was the only one who could have joined the team, but he suffered stomach flu. He hasn't even returned to Italy. He is in still Colombia to undergo some medical examinations.
"This is the situation, I've never complained about the fixture list. Some players finished their international games at 3am last night and would return to Turin at 11am tomorrow morning.
"We don't want to run the risk they pick up injuries, so they will remain in Turin to work, it makes more sense."
Allegri confirmed Chiesa, too, will not be available for selection after the forward suffered a muscular issue with Italy during the international break.
The 54-year-old is without a win in his last seven league games with his new side, with only three Juve managers ever suffering longer winless streaks in Serie A, but asked for patience as his team look to kick-start their season after two poor showings against Udinese and Empoli.
"Napoli are among the candidates to win the title along with another seven or eight clubs, the season is still long and we need to remain balanced," he continued.
"There are many games, the first two matches didn't go as we expected, but this is football, we must keep things simple and start the season because we haven't started yet."
Ronaldo in the past amid Juve's winless start after Empoli shock – Allegri
Massimiliano Allegri said Juventus cannot keep thinking about Cristiano Ronaldo after the struggling Serie A giants crashed to a shock loss against Empoli without the Manchester United-bound superstar.
Without Ronaldo as he edges closer to returning to Premier League contenders United, Allegri's Juve were upstaged 1-0 by visitors and newly promoted Empoli in Turin on Saturday.
Mancuso's strike lifted Empoli to a surprise victory and condemned Juve to a winless start to the season following last week's draw at Udinese.
Juve have failed to win either of their opening two in the competition for the third time in the last 52 Serie A seasons – having done so in 2010-11 and 2015-16, and head coach Allegri was asked about five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo's exit post game.
"Cristiano spent three years at Juventus, he scored goals, which he is very good at, he's an extraordinary player, but we cannot think about Ronaldo from now on," Allegri told DAZN.
"I have a fine squad, we simply must realise that we can't just dominate every match.
"We need to come together and this will help us for the future.
"I am optimistic, always."
Ronaldo joined Juve from Real Madrid in 2018 and he remained an ultra-reliable frontman for the Italian giants, scoring 81 goals in 98 Serie A games.
The 36-year-old 29 league goals last season and 36 across all competitions. In 2020-21, only four players across Europe's top five leagues scored more goals than his 36-goal haul.
Ronaldo is also contributing far less in other areas of the pitch than during his prime years. He won just six tackles last season, and only three in the league. Only five strikers with five goals or more in Serie A last season won fewer. In his 60-goal third season at Madrid, Ronaldo won 33 tackles.
The Portugal captain made 73 crosses in open play across all competitions, and 64 came in the league, the fifth-highest total of any five-goal-plus Serie A striker, but that number is far from what the former Sporting CP was producing at his career's peak. In his final season at United (2008-09) he put in 197 open-play crosses, and he topped 100 in each of his first three seasons at Madrid (2009-10 to 2011-12).
He continues to produce excellent figures, but he no longer vastly exceeds his expected goals (xG) totals and has instead almost exactly matched them in each season while at Juventus (2018-19: 28 goals from 28.3 xG; 2019-20: 37 goals from 35.84 xG; 2020-21: 36 goals from 35.34 xG).
Meanwhile, Juve have lost two successive Serie A home matches against promoted sides for the first time in their top-flight history.
Juve have also lost two consecutive league fixtures against promoted teams (Benevento in March and Empoli on Saturday) for the first time since 1999.
The Bianconeri have conceded in each of their last 16 league games – only twice in their Serie A history they have been on a longer streak without a clean sheet: 19 in April 2010 and 21 in October 1955
Allegri: Winless Juve have time to improve after Empoli defeat
Massimiliano Allegri insisted Juventus will improve after a 1-0 home defeat to Empoli on Saturday left them winless in Serie A after two matches.
Leonardo Mancuso scored what proved to be the winner in Turin as Juve looked toothless up top without Cristiano Ronaldo, who edges closer to joining Manchester United.
Mancuso's first-half effort means Juve remain winless after their opening two games – the third time they have done so in 52 Serie A campaigns – following a 2-2 draw against Udinese last weekend. It capped a night to remember for Empoli, who secured a first away Serie A win at Juve after 11 defeats and one draw.
And despite a slow start to the 2021-22 campaign, Allegri is remaining upbeat.
"Tonight the team started well, after the goal we disunited and we put ourselves in the hands of the team," Allegri told DAZN.
"[Against] Empoli, it was necessary to have more patience, to play as a team and not individually.
"It's not easy, we have a point after two games, but we have all the time to improve.
"It's a difficult moment, we need to grow. There have been too many players who have done things wrong that are not usually wrong."
Allegri confirms Ronaldo is leaving Juventus
Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo is leaving Juventus, as a remarkable transfer to Manchester City edges closer to completion.
Ronaldo joined Juve from Real Madrid in 2018 but reports emerged last week that he wished to leave the Serie A giants.
Premier League champions City – having missed out on Harry Kane – are front-runners for the 36-year-old's signature in what would be a sensational return to English football.
On Friday, Ronaldo was pictured leaving Juventus training having reportedly said his goodbyes to team-mates.
In Allegri's subsequent news conference to preview Saturday's clash with Empoli, the head coach confirmed Ronaldo was leaving the club.
"Yesterday, Cristiano told me that he no longer has any intention to play for Juventus. For this reason he will not be called up for tomorrow's game," Allegri said.
"Things change, it's a law of life. Juventus remains, which is the most important thing. Cristiano gave his contribution, he made himself available, now he leaves and life goes on.
"Cristiano is to be thanked for what he has done, also as an example to the youngsters. But as I said, we must go on."
The seemingly imminent transfer to City is a move that will greatly anger Manchester United fans, as Ronaldo spent six years with the Red Devils after Alex Ferguson signed him from boyhood club Sporting CP in 2003.
Ronaldo won three Premier League titles and the Champions League with United, while also helping them to an FA Cup, two EFL Cups and the FIFA Club World Cup, before joining Madrid in 2009.
At Madrid, Ronaldo won LaLiga twice and the Champions League four times.
He has remained an ultra-reliable frontman for Juventus, scoring 81 times in 98 Serie A matches since the start of 2018-19, but the Bianconeri have continued to fall short in the Champions League.
Another player linked with a departure from Juve has been United States midfielder Weston McKennie, but Allegri insisted the former Schalke man would be staying put.
Allegri said: "Weston McKennie has to stay here at Juventus, he's not for sale. He's part of the project and he can improve."
Meanwhile, Moise Kean – who left Juve in 2019 to join Everton – seems to be on the verge of returning to Turin, with both a permanent deal or a loan with an obligation to buy having been discussed, according to various reports.
Allegri, however, would not be drawn on commenting on the Italy forward, who impressed on loan last season at Paris Saint-Germain.
"I'm not going to talk about Moise Kean, he's an Everton player," Allegri said.
BREAKING NEWS: Allegri confirms Ronaldo is leaving Juventus
Allegri reacts to Ronaldo rumours as Juventus rue late goal that got away
Cristiano Ronaldo was at the centre of transfer rumours after failing to make the Juventus starting XI at Udinese – but Massimiliano Allegri insisted there was an innocent explanation.
Ronaldo and drama go hand in hand and the superstar forward came off the bench to snatch what looked to be a stoppage-time winner in his team's opening game of the Serie A season.
A VAR ruling meant the clinical header was ruled out, however, and Juventus had to settle for a 2-2 draw, with two glaring errors from goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny costing them.
Szczesny might have been grateful for the spotlight to be shone on Ronaldo, because it took some of the attention away from his regrettable performance.
The team announcement from Allegri, embarking on his second spell as Juve head coach after last term's failed Andrea Pirlo experiment, sent shudders through football when it emerged Ronaldo was only a substitute.
It was swiftly reported by major Italian news outlets that Ronaldo had requested to be benched and was hoping to secure a move from Juventus before the transfer window closes at the end of the month.
Allegri said after the game that it had been a decision taken purely with the player's interests, and those of the team, in mind.
"Cristiano is fine, I had talked to him with a view to everyone's conditions at the beginning of the season, also thinking about the game especially at the beginning, and I said to him, 'Come to the bench, in the second half we will need you to come on'," Allegri said.
"He made himself available, he also did well: he also scored a goal, then unfortunately he wasn't good by a centimetre."
Allegri led Juventus to five Serie A titles in his first spell at the club, from 2014 to 2019, and had two years out of the game before accepting an offer to return.
The Scudetto is again the target for Juventus, whose nine-in-a-row title sequence ended last season as rookie coach Pirlo struggled to coax the best out of the team.
Allegri had a win percentage of 70.48 across 271 games in his first spell at Juve, but may find success this time around is harder to come by, judging by how his team started impressively but allowed Udinese to control much of the second half.
Early goals from Paulo Dybala and Juan Cuadrado had put Juve in charge, but Szczesny carelessly gave away a penalty after letting a shot squirm from his grasp and then committed a worse error in the 83rd minute that allowed Gerard Deulofeu to fire into an empty net.
Juventus have now conceded eight penalties in Serie A since the beginning of 2021: only Udinese (13) have conceded more in this calendar year in the competition.
"Unexpected things happen: this is football too," Allegri said, quoted on the Juventus official website.
"In the first half we were in control, and we had to control the ball better. Then we didn't know how to manage the unexpected, and this is a lesson that we must take home with us.
"The performance was good, but in football the only thing that counts is winning and knowing how to read the match moments. In the second half, we lost two or three too many balls in midfield, perhaps also due to the heat and the conditions at the beginning of the season."
For the first time since he joined Juventus, Ronaldo has now started two games in a row on the bench: against Udinese and in May against Bologna.
If the substitute trend continues in next Saturday's clash with Empoli, familiar rumours will return. His steadying influence over the closing half-hour of Sunday's game, as a replacement for the misfiring Alvaro Morata (three goal attempts, zero on target), suggests Juventus should do all in their powers to retain him.
Udinese 2-2 Juventus: Ronaldo denied stoppage-time winner after Szczesny clangers
Surprise substitute Cristiano Ronaldo was denied a winner by VAR deep into stoppage time as Juventus drew 2-2 at Udinese following a pair of Wojciech Szczesny blunders.
Impressive early strikes from Paulo Dybala and Juan Cuadrado looked to have paved the way for a season-opening Serie A success, and a first win of head coach Massimiliano Allegri's second spell in charge of Juventus.
But a mistake by goalkeeper Szczesny was punished from the penalty spot early in the second half, and a desperate clanger in the 83rd minute allowed Gerard Deulofeu to net a dramatic leveller.
In a ripsnorting finish, Udinese almost sneaked a winner, Mato Jajalo firing over in the 90th minute, before Ronaldo headed in a Federico Chiesa cross in the fourth minute of stoppage time. The celebrations were wild, and a euphoric Ronaldo was booked for removing his shirt, before he was left stunned to see the goal disallowed for offside.
Ronaldo and Dybala have contracts that run to the end of this season, and there seems scant prospect of both staying in Turin. Dybala is seemingly keen to remain, Ronaldo less so, and his omission from the starting XI here sparked fresh speculation about his future.
Juventus took just two minutes and three seconds to surge ahead, their earliest goal in a season opener during the three-points-for-a-win era, which began in 1994-95.
Giorgio Chiellini was on the bench so Dybala captained the team, and it was the Argentine forward who produced a special finish to catch the hosts cold. Rodrigo Bentancur slid in a low ball from the right and Dybala cleverly flicked the ball across goal into the left corner.
Dybala then played a key role in the second Juventus goal, which came in the 23rd minute, looping a long pass to Cuadrado, who took his first touch just a couple of strides outside the Udinese penalty area. The Colombian shuffled skilfully past flummoxed Udinese captain Bram Nuytinck and lashed a low shot into the same corner that Dybala had earlier found.
Juventus looked practically home and hosed at the break, but conceded a penalty in the 50th minute when Szczesny made a poor parry of Tolgay Arslan's shot before bringing down the Udinese man as he chased down the rebound.
Former Juve man Roberto Pereyra fired the spot-kick into the right corner, before Alvaro Morata headed against the left post at the other end a couple of minutes later, from a chance he would expect to tuck away.
Allegri saw the game potentially slipping away and sent on Ronaldo, Chiellini and Dejan Kulusevski on the hour mark, Morata among those to make way. Ronaldo soon teed up Bentancur to smash a shot against the right post, and then came the late drama, Juventus left smarting on day one of the new campaign.
Ronaldo only a sub at Udinese but CR7 is staying at Juve, says Nedved
Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Juventus and his selection as a substitute for Sunday's season opener at Udinese was a mutual decision, according to Pavel Nedved.
Former Juve midfielder Nedved is now a vice-president at the club and was asked about Ronaldo being surprisingly left out of the starting XI in Udine.
Nedved said, according to Sky Sport Italia: "We must not look for sensations where there are none. It was a choice shared with the player.
"At the beginning of the season it is normal that the conditions are not top and the coach tries to field the most competitive team tonight."
Asked whether Ronaldo would remain a Juventus player this season, the last on his contract, Nedved said: "Absolutely yes."
There was nevertheless speculation that Ronaldo had requested to be selected on the bench, with Sky Sport Italia claiming the forward was looking to leave the club before the transfer window closes at the end of the month.
Head coach Massimiliano Allegri insisted this week that last season's Serie A 29-goal top scorer had told him he wanted to stay in Turin, and the Portuguese superstar has condemned what he described as "frivolous" rumours around his future.
Ronaldo has been linked with a return to Real Madrid or Manchester United, while Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City have also been credited with interest.
However, any of those clubs would likely have to generate funds before mounting a move for the 36-year-old five-time Ballon d'Or winner, and City are expected to move for Harry Kane rather than Ronaldo.
With Ronaldo watching on from the sidelines, Juventus snatched a third-minute lead at Udinese through Paulo Dybala.
Ronaldo benched for Juventus amid renewed exit talk
Cristiano Ronaldo was named only as a substitute for Juventus' opening Serie A match against Udinese amid renewed speculation he wants to leave the club.
Speaking ahead of his side's opening league game of 2021-22, head coach Massimiliano Allegri insisted Ronaldo had told him he wanted to stay in Turin.
Those comments came after the Portugal star posted to social media to hit out at what he described as "frivolous" rumours around his future.
However, on Sunday, Allegri selected Paulo Dybala and Alvaro Morata as a strike partnership, with Ronaldo on the bench.
Sky Sport Italia then reported that Ronaldo had requested to be left out of the first XI as he is attempting to secure a transfer before the window closes.
However, any move would appear problematic. Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has already said the 36-year-old will not be returning and Los Blancos are said to be trying to build funds for an attempt to sign Kylian Mbappe.
Selling the France star would likely be the only means for PSG to sign Ronaldo given the huge increase to their wage bill following the free transfer of Lionel Messi, while United must sell before buying again after spending upwards of £105million on Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane.
City, meanwhile, broke the Premier League transfer record by signing Jack Grealish for £100m and are expected to make another push to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham in the next week.

World of Goo for iPhone/iPod Touch
Coolsmartphone Staff April 22, 2011
One of World of Goo's more normal moments
Those gamers among you will likely already have heard about World of Goo. Over the last few years it's built up a reputation as a cult classic among puzzle games. Originally released on PC before making its way to Wii and then the iPad, last week developer 2D Boy finally released a version for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Like all good puzzle games, the basic premise behind World of Goo is extremely simple; in each level you have to get a set number of Goo balls to the exit pipe by attaching them together. There are different types of Goo balls which have varying abilities. For example, the standard black Goo balls can only be attached together once whereas green Goos can be detached and reattached at will. There are numerous others too although I wouldn't want to ruin the fun of discovering them for yourself and as I'm not even half way through the game I'm fairly sure I've only seen a fraction of them myself.
The game's production values are sky high. Even though it isn't the most graphically intense game you're likely to see the animation is gorgeous and super smooth and the level of imagination demonstrated by the designers is striking. The music is also fantastic, with some great tunes which help to build the atmosphere no end, you'll definitely want to plug in some decent headphones to really get the full effect. New ideas are also constantly introduced to keep the gameplay fresh and also maintain the challenge as new tactics need to be continually developed to overcome the obstacles in your path.
Casual gamers will probably just be happy to beat each level but for the more hardcore there are also OCD (obsessive completion distinction) achievements for completing levels with extra goos saved, finishing in less time or using fewer moves. This massively adds to the replay value and should keep you busy for a while.
I can't recommend World of Goo enough. It's my favourite iOS game by a distance and for £1.79 it's an absolute bargain. Eat your heart out Angry Birds!
The first level...
...which can be completed in 3 moves
Extra Goos saved can be used to build your own tower of Goo to compete with other players online

Dwarf…Crocodile?
Kevin Torregrosa
Many people are surprised to learn that there are more than just one species of alligator and one species of crocodile. There are, in fact, 24 recognized species in the order Crocodylia: two species of alligator, six species of caiman, two species of gharial, and 14 species of crocodile. These numbers complicate the question "what is the difference between an alligator and crocodile?" There is great diversity found among the fourteen different crocodiles, and no species illustrates this complication more than the African dwarf crocodile Osteolaemus tetraspis.
When one thinks of a crocodile, generally an image is conjured up of a giant predatory reptile capable of hunting zebras. However, not all crocodiles are giants; male dwarf crocodiles attain maximum lengths between six and seven feet, while females rarely exceed five feet, making this the smallest species of crocodile on the planet.
Size is not the only thing that makes this species unique among crocodiles; their appearance is much more similar to alligatorids (alligators and caiman). Their short, stocky build and wide jaws could cause them to be mistaken for caimans, but they do share one feature found in all other crocodiles—the enlarged fourth tooth on their lower jaw fits into a dedicated notch in the upper jaw, and it is this characteristic that gives this species away as a true crocodile.
The African dwarf crocodile is found in west and central Africa. This crocodile is currently listed as vulnerable; however, current research suggests that they could be divided into three separate species. In the event that new species are described, it is likely that one of them will actually be endangered or even critically endangered.
There is now a young pair of these fascinating crocodiles residing in the Bronx Zoo's World of Reptiles, one of which can be seen in the nursery exhibit.

Australia's road safety problems are a cause for concern
The Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) has highlighted key problems with road safety. According to the ARRB, these issues must be addressed if Australia's road casualty rate is to be reduced. Road death tolls are being reduced as he latest results show, but more work needs to be done.
According to the ARRB, the road death tolls in Victoria dropped 20% for 2018 when compared with the previous year. This is a major improvement, showing the gains made by Victoria's road agency VicRoads and the state's Transport Accident Commission (TAC).
Other states have also seen road fatalities drop, by 10% for New South Wales and a major drop in South Australia also, while Western Australia saw its lowest yearly road death toll on record. Overall, the Australian road death toll dropped by over 6% for 2018 when compared with 2017.
Around 1,100 people are killed on Australia's roads each year but more than 30 times as many are injured in road crashes. And not enough is being done to reduce the issue of serious injuries.
According to the Australian Automobile Association and the Australasian College of Road Safety, the 2018 road death rates are certainly lower than those for 2017. However, these figures merely see a return to the statistics for 2015.
The AAA and ACRS say that by focussing on road death reduction only, this ignores the many more people seriously injured on Australia's road network.
Chief executive at the AAA is Michael Bradley and he said that the 2018 road toll figures are "nothing to celebrate" and while road tolls fluctuate. He explained that the National Road Safety Strategy is failing because of a lack of resources and willpower from politicians and bureaucrats alike.
The ARRB says that the original National Road Safety Strategy was agreed to by all States in 2011. However none are on track to meet the agreed targets.
The ARRB says that an independent inquiry into the National Road Safety Strategy offered 12 recommendations to address the problem. It says that better funding, resourcing and new measurable targets geared towards reducing harm on the roads were listed as key. Also among the recommendations was Vision Zero, setting the ambitious target of no more road deaths in Australia by 2050, and no road deaths for all major capital city CBD areas and high-volume highways by 2030.
"We've had a Vision Zero in Australia for the last couple of decades, but now there's a firm line in the sand following the Inquiry," Australian Road Research Board transport safety expert Dr Blair Turner said.
"We know it's ambitious, but some parts of Australia have zero fatalities, so it's do-able. You see in workplace health and safety, and in the aviation industry, they have a zero tolerance around deaths and injuries. Road safety shouldn't be any different."
The issues around road safety are complex and changing and a growing problem is with smartphone use. The ARRB has highlighted some key issues around road safety for 2019.
A newer, safer vehicle choice can save lives. Advanced safety features such as autonomous emergency braking and electronic stability control are now becoming commonplace in base model sub-A$20,000 cars. ARRB research shows that given the right road conditions, these features save lives and reduce injuries. "As the fleet upgrades over time, we'll see further improvements," Dr Turner said. But Australians keep their cars longer than they should. ANCAP, Australasia's independent vehicle safety authority, shows that cars built in 2001 or earlier make up 20% of the cars on Australian roads. Yet they account for more than 33% of the fatalities. The research is clear on this as newer cars are much safer choices. Replacing an old car with a newer one is a simple way to boost safety.
Victoria has invested heavily in wire crash barriers on roads. These high tension wire ropes are now installed in the centre of dual carriageways and on edges of high-risk rural roads to ensure cars that lose control do not leave the road, or crossover into the opposing lane. Research shows they significantly reduce deaths and serious injuries. Victoria's Transport Accident Commission (TAC) has been at the forefront of pushing their introduction. Drivers will make mistakes, and acknowledging this and helping making outcomes more forgiving is an important element of road safety. "Road users are human, and to be human is to err," said Dr Turner, an expert in the Safe Systems approach to road safety. "We're seeing something like a 60-80% reduction in fatal and serious injury outcomes in Victoria as a result of wire rope safety barriers." Dr Turner also points to other road infrastructure, such as roundabouts, which produce a similar benefit. "The basic philosophy with each is that the design prevents a serious i
njury when things do go wrong," he said.
More than 10 million Australians admit to doing something dangerous behind the wheel, according to new research. 38% admit to eating take-away food while driving. Another 25% admit to using a mobile phone to text or utilise social media while at the wheel. The smartphone revolution has added a new layer to driver distraction, and it is a growing issue. In NSW, cameras are being trialled to detect mobile phone use while driving. In Queensland, the State Government wants companies to provide technology which will prevent you from using your mobile altogether when you're driving. But there are plenty of other distractions while driving.
Despite the warnings and educational campaigns and drivers being aware of the dangers, there is plenty of risky behaviour that costs lives and put others in peril. In Queensland, more than 25% of road deaths last year were attributable to failure to wear a seatbelt. More than 400 in South Australia have been caught driving with an unrestrained pet in their lap over the past three years. Worse still, the Queensland seatbelt issue has been going on for years and the numbers increased in 2018. Excessive speed and fatigue also remain constants. Other problems are caused by drug-affected, drunk drivers and people in unlicensed or stolen vehicles.
There is an equation that puts a price on death and serious injury. this complex formula takes into account where the accident happened and the scale of the crash. But using the most accepted worldwide approach, one Australian road death costs around A$7.5 million, and an injury between A$20,000 and A$360,000 depending on its severity. That means road injury and death costs Australia around A$70 million/day and A$30 billion annually.
While initiatives like wire crash barriers and better skid resistance, and other infrastructure improvements are helping in well-known blackspots or high-volume traffic areas, what about the roads less travelled? Dr Turner says roads which carry lower volumes of traffic but are high-risk parts of the network need different strategies. "We are lacking strategies on lower volume roads. Maybe things like different road configurations, appropriate speed management and in-car warnings can help." For low quality roads and urban arterial roads, there also need to be strategies especially geared towards vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists.
Vulnerable road users, such as motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians, are at particular risk. Cities and towns often favour drivers over riders and walkers by design, so the risks for so-called vulnerable road users are greater than they should be. Despite Australia introducing compulsory helmet use amongst cyclists casualty rates have increased, showing that more effective strategies are required. Addressing shortcomings in the behaviour of drivers is crucial to improving safety for vulnerable road users.

Documenting Rights in Nigeria's Slums
An estimated 70 percent of the 23 million people who live in Lagos, Africa's largest city, live in slums, often with no government services such as roads, water, and sanitation.
Residents of these unregulated and overcrowded settlements have little security of tenure and live under constant threat of eviction. The government does not recognize these communities' legitimacy and government policies include the routine clearing of these settlements, often without notice or compensation.
The Nigerian Slum/Informal Settlement Federation (Nigerian Federation), an affiliate of Slum/Shack Dwellers International, and its supporting NGO, Justice & Empowerment Initiatives (JEI), are working to change this. The Federation and JEI promote community organizing within slums and empowerment through savings groups, community data collection, and partnerships across urban areas to encourage pro-poor government policies.
JEI also trains members of the Nigerian Federation as paralegals who work to protect their communities from eviction, resolve conflicts, and improve access to key services. Not surprisingly, the paralegals find they spend much of their time working to resolve individual and community-wide conflicts over land.
To improve efficiency and effectiveness, the Nigerian Federation is working to address some of these issues further upstream, by advocating for changes to government policy. This requires more detailed information about land tenure in dozens of communities.
"We want to generate a deep body of knowledge that allows us to advocate for greater tenure security for these communities," said JEI founder Andrew Maki. "We need to start a discussion with government officials based on real information, not on anecdotes or preconceived notions."
JEI and the Nigerian Federation are partnering with Cadasta Foundation to gather sophisticated and detailed information about informal settlements and residents' claims (both customary and formal) to the land they occupy.
Cadasta developed a tailor-made digital questionnaire that allowed Nigerian Federation volunteers and paralegals to quickly and easily use hand-held GPS- units and tablets to capture and input a robust set of data from focus group discussions and interviews in more than 30 communities across Lagos.
The survey, which covered communities that are home to 26,000 households, includes information on: who, if anyone, collects rent from residents; who are the communities' leaders; how long these communities have occupied their land; who claims the land both under formal law and under customary law; and other data.
"The platform presents the data in a way that is quite useful," said Maki. "As we get deeper into our analysis, it will prove even more useful."
A report on tenure security in Lagos informal settlements and a workshop with government officials and experts from across the region is planned once the Nigerian Federation completes its analysis of the data.
The communities involved in this effort now have key statistics about themselves and land tenure patterns across Lagos informal settlements – a vital step toward making themselves and their needs visible to the government.
Further, the data collected by the Nigerian Federation and JEI allows the communities to build their case for rights to the land they reside on by documenting their use of the land. This data also empowers communities to hold the government accountable if they
are forcibly evicted.
"Too often people only think about rural areas and farmland when they talk about land tenure," said Maki. "Frankly, land tenure is far more complicated in urban areas. Understanding land tenure relationships is a critical first step in improving security of tenure, preventing forced evictions, and recognizing the rights urban poor."

Bleed Eagles Green: Philadelphia Eagles Blog: Brian Dawkins - Only Number Five?
Brian Dawkins - Only Number Five?
USA Today continued their columns of comparing todays' best versus the best of the Super Bowl Era and Brian Dawkins was ranked #5 in today's ranking of safeties.
One can understand Reed being ranked higher, as Reed has achieved individual and team success. But Sanders and Polamalu have not yet built the career resume that accompanies Dawkins.
Though the stats for Sharper are outstanding, the individual honors (Pro Bowl, All-Pro appearances) favor Dawkins. Also Sharper's defensive units have not achieved to the level that Dawkins has carried the Eagles to. Here's to Dawkins proving them wrong in 2008.

Rare Antique Victorian (1890s) Coalport Batwing (Y2665) Demitasse Cup & Saucer
Rare Antique Victorian (1890s) Generously 24ct Gold Gilded & Hand Painted English Coalport Fine Bone China Batwing (Pattern Y2665) Demitasse Coffee Cup & Saucer. Superb quality gold gilded white & cobalt blue lea dless glaze Coalport porcelain set. Very elegantly handcrafted by a master potter of the higuest order and beautifully hand painted. In excellent condition without any chips or crazing.
Please browse all 12 photographs for size and condition as they are self explanatory. The Coalport porcelain manufactory (or Coalport China), the first porcelain factory in Coalbrookdale, Shropshire, England, was founded by the practical and enterprising John Rose in 1795, at Coalport, served by the Coalport Canal, which had been completed in 1792.
Rose had trained at the Caughley porcelain manufactory in Shropshire and had been making pottery on his own account nearby at Jackfield, a mile upstream across the River Severn from Coalbrookdale, since about 1780. He employed William Billingsley, formerly at Nantgarw, as chief painter, and Billingsley's chemist, Walker, who initiated at Coalport a maroon glaze and brought the Nantgarw technical recipes to Rose at Coalport. In 1820 Rose received the gold medal of the Society of Arts for his feldspar porcelain and an improved, lead-free glaze, with which the enamel colours fused in firing. Favourite patterns were the "worm sprig" and the "Tournai sprig" introduced by Billingsley at Pinxton, the Dresden-inspired "Berlin china edge", and the blue transfer willow pattern and blue dragon pattern. During the 1830s the factory initiated the practice of applying a light transfer printed blue outline, to guide the painters.
This preserved some of the freedom of hand-painted decoration, while it enabled Rose to keep up the pace of production. The technique was widely adopted by other manufactories during the 19th century. John Rose died in 1841; the enterprise was continued under the former name John Rose & Co. At The Great Exhibition (London 1851) an elaborate Coalport table service with deep borders of mazarin blue was shown; it had been commissioned by Queen Victoria as a gift to Tsar Nicholas I of Russia. William Pugh continued the production as sole proprietor from 1862 until his death in 1875, after which the company was put in receivership by his heirs.
1900, who reinstated it as the Coalport China Company. Under the management of his son Charles Bruff from 1889, an extensive export trade to the United States and Canada was initiated in the 1890s, and the works were rebuilt on the original site in 1902. During the 1920s it fell again into financial difficulties and was eventually taken over by the Cauldon Potteries, Ltd. Of Shelton, Staffordshire, in 1925. Llewellynn Jewitt published a History of the Coalport Porcelain Works in 1862.
The standard modern monographic history is Geoffrey A. Godden, Coalport and Coalbrookdale Porcelain (London 1970).
The original manufactory building is now a Youth Hostel, cafe, artists' studios and a handmade arts & crafts shop. Production later moved across the canal to the buildings which now house the Coalport China Museum. In 1926 production moved to Staffordshire, the traditional centre of the ceramics industry in Britain, and, although the Coalport name was retained as a brand, in 1967 the company became part of the Wedgwood Group.

Gordon Hospital responds to Hurricane Irma
As Hurricane Irma and its winds and rain continue to move northwest across the state of Georgia, Gov. Nathan Deal has declared that all of Georgia is now under a state of emergency.
Gordon Hospital has taken steps to make sure all patients are safe. Arrangements have been made for full staffing of physicians and nurses throughout the duration of the storm.
All of our Gordon Physicians Group outpatient clinics and physician practices will be open on Monday morning, September 11, but for the safety of our patients and staff, they will close early at 1 pm.

Florida Legislature is attacking local progress on climate | Opinion
By Mark Paul and Sean Sellers
Special to the Sun Sentinel
Climate change doom (David Horsey / Courtesy)
Republican lawmakers in Tallahassee are advancing an alarming package of bills that will undermine the ability of local communities to address climate change and transition to renewable energy. This represents yet another step backward in a time when we need all hands on deck to cut greenhouse gas emissions as fast as possible.
For decades, Florida's GOP governors and legislative majorities have failed to address the looming climate crisis. Infamously, in a sop to denialists, the words "climate change" were reportedly banned from administrative parlance during the Scott administration. Today, even as the DeSantis administration acknowledges that sea level rise may erase $300 billion in coastal property by 2100, state-led efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are completely absent. This is despite the ominous trendline for floods, extreme heat and hurricanes in a state considered by many analysts to be the most vulnerable in the U.S. to climate disruption.
Mark Paul is an assistant professor of economics and environmental studies at New College of Florida.
In other words, Florida's government appears completely willing to dig itself — and us — deeper into the hole, even as we are desperately short on time. Reducing emissions by at least half over the next decade is critical if we are to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and avoid the worst impacts of climate disruption.
In the face of state inaction, local communities have begun to step into the breech. The cities of Orlando, St. Petersburg, Sarasota and several others have made commitments to transition their entire communities to 100% renewable energy. Far from hollow commitments, these municipalities are developing and implementing detailed plans across their communities. They understand that, while investments in climate adaptation and resilient infrastructure are absolutely necessary, they are also woefully insufficient.
In fact, a number of reports have shown that decarbonizing the country would create tens of millions of well-paying jobs, result in cleaner air — which means fewer cases of asthma and thousands of lives saved on an annual basis — and lower utility bills to boot. Here in the southeast, where we lag the rest of the country, we have a tremendous opportunity to get on the green bandwagon, saving our beloved coastal communities and improving economic opportunities at the same time.
Sean Sellers is chair of the Suncoast Climate Justice Coalition and an MS candidate at the University of Florida School of Forest Resources and Conservation.
That is why the latest developments in Tallahassee are so disturbing. Taken together, four bills sponsored by GOP lawmakers would undermine local progress and shift all climate and energy policymaking to Tallahassee, where the playing field is significantly more favorable to the oil and gas industry and their investor-owned utility allies.
Specifically, the four anti-climate bills (SB 856/HB 839; SB 1128/HB 919; SB 1008/HB 761; and SB 1236/HB 617) would preempt local energy infrastructure regulations, including citywide commitments to renewable energy; preempt local building code regulations from transitioning buildings from natural gas to renewable energy; violate environmental justice principles by allowing utilities to build solar farms in rural areas without local consent, a move which must be viewed in the cost of the investor-owned utilities' long war on rooftop solar in Florida in order to secure their monopoly power in a rapidly changing energy landscape; and eliminate the ability of state agencies to regulate carbon pollution.
Together, these bills are completely antagonistic to what conservatives supposedly stand for: local decentralized control. Notably, versions of these bills have appeared in many other states, suggesting the likelihood of a coordinated campaign by oil, gas and utility lobbyists. Preemption has also become a commonly used strategy in Tallahassee to roll back local social and environmental protections, including minimum wage hikes and bans on sunscreen and single-use plastics.
While these bills will take Florida in precisely the wrong direction, state Rep. Anna Eskamani and state Sen. Lori Berman have filed a bill that would require Florida to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2040. As Eskamani recently noted, several other states have made this commitment, too, and Florida is increasingly at risk of missing out on the significant economic benefits associated with this transition.
Eskamani and Berman's bill is an excellent start, but to fully address the climate crisis there are several other actions the Florida Legislature should take.
First, the Legislature should modernize the regulatory structure to incentivize emissions reductions, resilience upgrades and energy democracy. Such measures have already been tried and tested in other states.
Second, the Legislature should adopt stronger statewide building codes that will ensure that newly constructed buildings are not only hurricane resistant, but also highly energy efficient and rooftop solar-ready. This is essential since buildings account for 40% of emissions.
Third, the Legislature should address emissions in the transportation sector, including halting plans to build three massive and unnecessary toll roads through rural Florida. Other components include investments in mass transit and complete streets, electrification of public fleets and expansion of vehicle charging infrastructure.
Finally, the Legislature should restore historic funding levels for Florida's once-prized conservation programs in order to ensure that our landscapes can safeguard biodiversity, protect water resources and sequester carbon dioxide under a changing climate.
There are surely other worthy actions, as well. And we can, and should, talk about those options as we flesh out a much-needed, comprehensive plan to decarbonize Florida. The result will be a cleaner, healthier, and more economically robust state. It's time to ditch the green bashing and embrace a sustainable future we need.


Redmond High senior trio leads the way.
Redmond High's three senior captains can root for each other, inspire their teammates and poke fun at each other all the same.
That's what makes the Mustang swim and dive scene such a fun place to spend their time. Kenny Ma said that winning adds to the upbeat atmosphere as Redmond had notched a 4-2 record at the Reporter's press time.
Peter Fitch said he enjoys hitting the Redmond Pool after school, being part of a team and helping lead the Mustangs to success from his captain's spot. Jason Fu jokes that while he may sometimes get the Mustangs out of line himself, Ma is there to get them back on track.
Along with a lot of young, fast kids making waves for the Mustangs this season, the senior captains have been making their marks in the 100 backstroke and 200 individual medley (Fitch), 100 breaststroke and 200 individual medley (Ma), and Fu hopes to make some noise in the 100 butterfly. Fitch, who has been to the state meet twice, has a personal best of 1:58 in the 200 IM and 56.0 in the 100 back (he hit a 53.0 in club action). Fu, who has swam at state in the relays along with Fitch, notched a PR of 55.69 in the 100 fly last season and hopes to qualify for state in that event for the first time.
Ma said that stepping into a captain's role has been a rewarding experience.
The Reporter asked the trio a series of questions for a behind-the-scenes glimpse into their lives.
Ma: Aim high, but be realistic with your expectations.
Ma: I definitely appreciate the people around me, so my teammates, my fellow captains. That translates to just making sure that when I'm around people, I'm lifting people up the best I can. And if the people around me are feeling good, then I am, too.
Ma: I don't go out to eat a lot. Jason takes us to Five Guys a lot, that's pretty good. I love pancakes, though… anywhere with pancakes, so IHOP, we went to Family Pancake House.
Ma: I get particularly annoyed when someone might do something wrong, and then of course, a lot of people like to shrug off some blame.
Fu: Chewing with mouth open is up there.
Fitch: Mexico Beach, Florida, 'cause my uncle lives there and we've gone to visit him a couple times and that's just really fun — fishing and hanging out on the beach there.
Fitch: I guess it would be cool to fly.
Fitch: "Inglourious Basterds," it's a Quentin Tarantino movie.
Fu: I would like to learn how to backflip. It's in the realm of breakdancing, which I would like to do, but I don't think my current joints are gonna allow for that. It'd be cool, though.
Fu: I like music that kind of makes you nostalgic for something you've never had. I'm talking like "Country Roads" is one of our favorite songs here at the swim team…. "Bohemian Rhapsody." We're like a little bit past that generation. Everyone still really gets into it, and honestly, I have no idea why.
