The number of Juventini playing at this Euro perfectly shows the difference in quality between Juve of 2007/08 and the Moggi era Juve.
Juventus participated with only 5 players. Buffon, Del Piero, Chiellini, Camoranesi played for Italy while Grygera played for Czech Republic.
Compare this with WC 2006 where only in the final there were 8 Juventus players (Buffon, Del Piero, Camoranesi, Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Thuram, Vieira,Trezeguet ).
Plus Robert Kovac, Pavel Nedved, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. There were 11 Juventini at WC 2006.
In 2004, at the Euro in Portugal, we had Buffon, Di Vaio, Camoranesi, Del Piero, Zambrotta, Tudor, Thuram, Trezeguet and Nedved. 9 Juventus players.
In 2002 there were 8 Juve players (Thuram, Trezeguet, Carini, Montero, Buffon, Del Piero, Iuliano, Zambrotta )
In 2000 there were 11 Juventini, 8 of them playing for the EC finalists (Ferrara, Conte, Inzaghi, Del Piero, Pessotto, Iuliano, Zambrotta, Kovacevic, Zidane, Davids, van der Sar)
In 1998 there were 8 Juventini (Pessotto, Torricelli, Del Piero, Di Livio, Inzaghi, Deschamps, Zidane, Davids )
And the Juventus players were always the leaders of their national teams. This time we had Buffon as the only player with a guaranteed spot in the team. Chiellini and Del Piero started as reserves while Camo lost his place in the starting XI. Grygera was ok, but he played for an average team.
In the past almost the entire starting XI was playing at the euro's or world cup's. This time not even half of our starters made it to the euros.
