Good result from a match which was more intriguing than exciting.
The 2 teams perhaps showed way too much respect to eachother and kinda nullified eachother .
Both defences were excellent with messrs Canavaro, Thuram, Fringes excelling
Kahn had relatively nothing to do apart from completely fumble a mishit by Emerson to Dp, who missed just as much as incredibly as he did in the Euros against Bulgaria
These 2 superpowers had never met in competitive football and it was disgusting to hear just 18,000 turned up
Napoli are in serie C1 and for 3 consecutive weeks 61,000 have turned up to watch them while Juve are serieA leaders and attract that kinda crowd against the biggets team from Germany (shameful).
I cannot understand why I am reading in some places like footballitalia that Zlatan was impressive, imo he was hopeless, I am not talking about the offsides, but also the unnecessary fouls, the less that impressive touches which were unhelpful, the laxy wayward passes and not one attempt on target in 90 mins and he is a striker, who also missed a sitter.
Zebina played well whilst brining the ball forward but he showed yet again he has no brain cells with the silly fouls he kept on committing which on another day would have caused us a penalty and playing with a man down
Cannavaro is a superb defender but I always get scared when he has the ball at his feet
Thuram is sheer class except when the ball is in the air as he tends to misjudge it
Zambrotta has been subdued in the last two matches
Blasi for all his faults was our most impressive player as he fought , won the ball and actually passed it better than in any other game i have seen
Camo just annoys me every time I see him nut at least he has spared me the agony of seeing him in a ponytail but for god's sakes man, try and keep is simple or do they not tell you off
Nedved again apart from the goal was anonymous but of the midfielders he at least comes forward
Emerson was poor, forget about the stuff that he was invisible, doing his work quiietly, no way, he failed to impose himself on the match
Dp was not too bad, not that good either, but hey, you have a team who prefer to hoof the ball in the air, rather than play in on the ground and his off the ball movement which so many ppl do not appreciate was good
It used to be 1-0 to the arsenal is now 1-0 to the juve
