Zambrotta not playing is a huge blow to our aspirations of progressing to the quarter finals. But hopefully the boys will be up for it and show the usual Juventino passion and spirit.
I don't think we will go all attack against Depor since that would be suicidal, 1 goal scored against us and our mission would suddenly be compounded. I think we should defend well and carefully build our attacks from midfield. We really need to control the match. If we score an early goal and finish the first half 1-0 up, then we can go for the all important second goal in the second half and still be careful in the back.
This Depor reminds me of Arsenal of 2001. Extremely strong at home but very poor away. Results in La Liga and the Champions League Group stage prove that:
Home:
vs PSV (2-0)
vs Monaco (1-0)
vs AEK (3-0)
Goals Scored (6) / Goals Against (0), GD = +6.
Away:
vs AEK (1-1)
vs Monaco (3-8)
vs PSV (2-3)
Goals Scored (6) / Goals Against (12), GD = -6.
Pre-match Comments:
Luciano Moggi - 'We always suffer against Deportivo, but we always succeed in eliminating them in the end. Deportivo are one of the best Spanish teams but we will do our best'.
Javier Irrureta - 'If anything, we deserved to lost in the first leg match due to our bad performance. But this time we are coming to Turin to win. We will be looking to score at least one goal to make sure of blowing Juve and advancing to the next stage.'
It's showitme !!

here is what Lippi said today:
Ahead of tomorrow's Champions League against Deportivo, where Juventus needs to overturn the 1-0 deficit of the first leg, Marcello Lippi hopes his team can play a great match without over exposing itself.
The Tuscan coach said: "We need to play a great match and score so we can at least go for the penalties. In this sense we must make use of the charge that the second half against Brescia has given us. In any case we shall need great attention and balance. We shall not go gung-ho forward."
i think he is right!
my line up:
Buffon
Thuram-Legro-Montero-Ferrara/Pesotto
Camo-Tacci-Appiah-Nedved
Di Vaio - Del Piero
but many alternatives lippi doesn't have!!
i think also this squade can beat them!!!

Alessandro Del Piero will remember the match at Riasor Stadium of La Coruna, as an important event for his career despite the final result. At La Coruna match he signs his 88th presence in international cups, entering in the guinness Juventus book as the player who has collected more international games.

ROME, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero says his team remain Champions League contenders despite their 1-0 defeat at Deportivo Coruna in the first knockout phase.

'We could and should have done much better. If we want to qualify (for the quarter-finals) we'll have to do much more in the second leg,' Del Piero was quoted as saying in Corriere dello Sport on Thursday.
'We can still turn the contest around.'
The return leg will be staged at the Stadio delle Alpi on March 9.
Wednesday's result continued Juventus's poor record at the Riazor Stadium, where they have drawn twice and lost twice in the past four seasons.
Del Piero and European Footballer of the Year Pavel Nedved gave below-par performances and Juventus's evening was made worse by a shoulder injury to striker David Trezeguet which is expected to keep him out of the return leg.
Trezeguet's replacement, Fabrizio Miccoli, insisted that it would be a mistake to count Juventus out.
'One-nil was the worst result we could get here, but I believe we can come back,' he said. Their disjointed performance, however, raised questions over whether they are capable of repeating last season's run in the competition, when they finished runners-up to AC Milan.
Though currently third in Serie A, six points behind leaders AC Milan, Juventus have struggled against direct title rivals and suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat to second-placed AS Roma earlier this month.
