Kalulu makes Juventus promise after costly red card in 1-1 Lazio draw

Pierre Kalulu has promised that he will be the team’s ‘number one supporter’ from the sidelines when he serves a two-match suspension after a costly red card during his side’s 1-1 draw with Lazio in Serie A over the weekend.

Kalulu was sent off after an incident of violent conduct, which has earned him a two-match ban which means that his 2024-25 season is now over.

Juventus were 1-0 up at the time of the Frenchman’s second-half dismissal, and eventually conceded a late 96th minute equaliser, which briefly lost the Bianconeri control of the race for the Champions League places.

Fortunately for the Old Lady, Atalanta’s 2-1 win over Roma means that Juventus remain in fourth place in the Serie A standings, albeit with four teams still within two points of the final Champions League spot with two games left to play.

What Kalulu said after Lazio 1-1 Juventus sending off

Kalulu, who will not be eligible to play against Udinese or Venezia in the next two matches, has written a message to the Juventus supporters on Instagram following the confirmation of his ban earlier this week.

“Not the way I wanted to finish this season,” Kalulu wrote.

“What’s certain is that even on the sideline, I’ll be the team’s number one supporter. Let’s finish the job together. Forza Juve.”
