Amauri Will Force Out Trez Or Del Piero – Antognoni

Former Fiorentina and Italy legend Giancarlo Antognoni has commented on Juventus’ imminent signing of Amauri, and believes that the Brazilian will force out either Alessandro Del Piero or David Trezeguet.



Amauri is on the brink of completing his long drawn-out move to Turin, and the deal could be completed by the end of today.

While some believe that the 27-year-old will be an excellent acquisition, others have questioned the signing given the brilliant form of this season’s forward partnership of Del Piero and Trezeguet.

The duo scored 41 goals between them in Serie A to finish in first and second place in the race for the Capocannoniere crown. Antognoni believes that the signing of Amauri will see either Del Piero or Trezeguet dropped to the bench.

"The fact that Juventus has gone for Amauri means that he will take the place of one of the two,” the former midfielder exclusively told Goal.com.

“I am convinced one of them will be left out, and I do not believe that all three will play together as it is difficult to place them simultaneously on the field.”

Antognoni is worshipped like a God in Florence after a 15-year career with the Viola from 1972 to 1987. He played 73 times for Italy, and was a key member of the 1982 World Cup winning squad.

Three Camoranesi's in a row

 

[Maher]

IMO Amauri Will Force Out Trez or iaquinta but not DP.

 

[Cuti]

He'll force Iaquinta out of the bench?

Three Camoranesi's in a row

 

[cunninlynguists]

He won't be 'forcing' anybody out. Ranieri is not Capello and will play the people on-form.

 

[S.Giovinco]

u forget we are talking about the tinkerman, he can find a place for 20 strikers.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Anto is just trying to gain some attention using Amauri's deal! ignore him! Amauri will do just fine and wont force anyone out! especially DP or Trez.

I know, i read j1897 also
His origins are from there according to that R-Style guy.

Damn it, now I can't pretend to be well-informed anymore.

Malta may be small but there are over 400,000 people, hard to know them all

I thought that there's no more than 4000 people on Malta.

haha, he didnt even play for Juventus. im sure he knows that if we sign amauri trez or del piero will be forced out of our squad. he might even pick our first team next season.

 

[Arvin]

i think CR is gonna go after 4-3-3 next season..

 

[Djabrail]

mmmm, would it ever become official?

 

[Osman]

Ranieri will play 4-4-2 most of the time, and even if I really hope Iaquinta sticks around I doubt out.

And Antognoni isnt saying anything special. Amauri is a quality player, its likely he might bench one of our strikers. It depends entirely if he continues on his clinical ways of this spring. Then its likely Trez is the one who might lose his place. Amauri functions well with a smaller forward, from Miccoli to Pellissier.


P.S Amauri should be on the Brazilian NT already, but good form with us should seal the deal with the stubborn Dunga.

i think CR is gonna go after 4-3-3 next season..

that would be a mouth-watering proposition....it can work because Camo has shown that he is still dominant in central MF role and if we can get Xabi Alonso, he can also do his part in the defensive dept....but for that idea to be entertained, we need a very strong defence with absolutely no weak points

 

[Marko]

Official!

Amauri signed a bill after lunch in some Turin restaurant.

 

[Fred]

Even if Ranieri were to use a 4-3-3, the front three cant be DP, Trez and Amauri imo. who are you going to stick on the wings??

another twist in the Amauri saga.

 

[Lion]

Yeah, you would need Giovinco or Camo to play as wing forwards
