I do, I also remember this after one other Milan game:




DP/Trezeguet partnership was one of the most successful duos in the history of this club. I can understand you have a different philosophy of how football should be played, but not appreciating such an important duo(both of them, not just DP) is not understandable to me.

Why not understandable? With Amauri the duo would be more successful...maybe even to WIN that champions league where all the Trez did: miss the penalty. I don't blame him for that.....I balme him cuz he touched the ball twice in 120mins. There are some times that your teammates cannot bring football in front of the open goal,those times you have to do something to help your team aside standing in front of GK and wanking for a decent chance. This is what seperates great players from average ones. One word from some member described him the best: too predictable.....

Wow to say Trez did nothing is rediculous. When is Dp at his best? When trez pushes the defense vertically and Dp sweeps in front and creates huge gaps. Amauri is better and could win us a CL? yeah he showed he is awesome in the CL this season with all those goals. And dont say he doesnt have the same service bc as a forward you cant depend on anyone else to create for you. By the way this is the exactly against the principle of what made us great. Every player was responsible for his duties on the field and had to execute it or he let the team down. Trez was our finisher and he did that perfectly.

Amauri will be Italian in September

Juventus striker Amauri will apparently receive an Italian passport in September, making him eligible for a call up to La Nazionale.

The 29-year-old was born in Brazil, but has lived in Italy for nine years and has an Italian wife.

Having never been selected for Brazil he decided to apply for Italian citizenship to increase his chances of international football.

Missing paperwork has considerably delayed the process, which has been ongoing for over 18 months.

“On the first of September I will have an Italian passport and this for me is already and honour, because I have lived here for 10 years and I am happy,” he said.

“Then, as Lippi has said, once I have the citizenship I can be taken into consideration.

“To play for Italy would be a way to pay this country back for all it has given me.”

Speaking in La Gazzetta dello Sport, Amauri then discussed his emotions after watching Brazil beat Italy 3-0 in the Confederations Cup.

“I didn't support either team. I supported football and who played well. Brazil won and entertained me,” he said.

“They are two prestigious nations and when they meet it's a guaranteed spectacle.”

When asked if the difference between Brazil and Italy is really as a great as the scoreline suggests, Amauri replied: “The results today say so.

“Hopefully within a year it will be different.

“Contrary to Italy, Brazil are in a great moment of form. All the players are well.

“With respect to Lippi, who is trying to introduce new players, Dunga has the advantage of having working with the same group for two years.

“Three years ago, Lippi won the World Cup with a team few believed in.

“He has the experience and is trying to carry forward certain ideas, because he knows that in the future they could bear fruit. Let him work, he knows his job,” Amauri explained.

The former Palermo striker then denied Italian football is poorer without Kaka.

“Serie A has lost Kaka, it's true, but it has contracted another champion like Diego, who compensates for the loss.

“Diego called me a lot in the days when he was closing a deal with Juventus. He wanted to know about the city, the team and the club.

“I advised him to come here with a sense of calm, because this is a very serious club, among the most prestigious in the world.

“I said to him: 'Torino is the right choice for you and we need your qualities.'” Amauri revealed.
