Overrated. Hot, has got to be Ale's ex chick. What's her name again? The really voluptuous TV presenter he dated!? Valeria?!?
This girl is too young to be Ale's ex :D

Perhaps you mean Valeria Marini (Cecchi Gori's longtime companion) as I somewhere read something about her brief relationship with Del Piero in the late 90's.

The header from that fabulous Caceres cross in the first was so lame...at first I thought Cesar made a great save then I saw that Matri did so well to head a lame ball.

I don't want to mention the other misses.

showed why he isn't a clear starter for a weak italy side. Isn't a goal machine like cavani, higiaun. If we can replace him with a goal machine we should do that without a doubt.

I think Conte has destroyed his confidence. Give this guy unlimited credit and always play him, he'll repay in goals. This was the kind of treatment a striker like Trez needed as well. The confidence of always playing, he'd get a goal sooner or later.

:agree:

You can see it in his face as well. He is lacking confidence and most of that is due to Conte not showing enough faith in him and picking the useless Borriello over him on one too many occasions.

This guy still has plenty of goals left in him, he just needs to be played constantly and be given adequate service.

Anyone else remembered Trezeguet when Matri fired that low cross to the stands during first half?
Yes I thought that too. And after that I thought we need a new poacher next season.

Funny how people always defending to say he had no service and :blah: but he had service last night and screwed up two big changes. In cl you only get one change and you need to score simply.

Agreed. He should have played Coppa instead of Boriello and many other matches. How Boriello was ahead of him in some matches is beyond me.

But then again, Boriello was ahead of Del Piero too :lol:

:howler:

I see you've found a new player to moan about.
no i don't I never rated Matri that high as some of you do here. The new trez :rofl:. For me it is clear if we had someone like higiuan, cavani that we would had easily be on top. No defense in serie shit their pants of matri. and people defending him that he didn't get service and that :blah:
in fact he is average and his stats of this season showed that. 10 goals in one the most attacking teams of serie A :seven:.

He's always looking for Conte's approval. Unfortunately he's lost his rhythmn and confidence. And it's really sad to see that fucking Borriello has affected not only our ability to score, but our leading goalscorer as well. I hope Conte reinvests some faith in this guy because he's a handy player to have around. Lets see what happens.

He's a good player Bezz. His game is optimised in the box. Its just that I personally don't think jts helped to rotate him at a time when he was scoring. His appearances have not had continuity since Borriello's arrival. And anyone in his place would suffer in the same way that he is. There's no doubt that he's a goal scorer, but I personally feel he's better suited to having Alex or Quag besides him than Vucinic, because Vucinic drifts a lot wider, while Matri needs somebody to play off. It also has to do with the fact that we play the 433 and it doesn't necessarily suit our attacking line. Save Vucinic of course.
