What an incredibely nerve-wrecking game.. We made it though, amazing game!
My ratings:
Buffon: Solid and did not concede, didn't make that much of an impression on me as he looked a little nervous at times.
6.
Thuram/Cannavaro : Simply Impregnable. Where were Ronaldo, Raul, Owen and Figo??
8.
Zebina : Good match, very lively and active. Made some very good interceptions. Unjusftully critisized on this forum.
7
Zambrotta : Not his best match, but still very stable and he woke up in the second half
6.5
Emerson : Kind of the defensive midfield. He had the a pure defensive role opposed to the first leg, but he really excelled in this role. Good passing as well.
7
Pessotto : Though normally a flank player or a fullback, he had more of a central midfielder role, who drifts to the side. Some good combinations with Del Piero and Zambrotta. Plus, he completely nullified Beckham!
7
Camoranesi : Who is this player? My absolute man of the match, he was amazingly lively, hardworking, everywhere on the pitch, great passing and crossing, easy and swift dribbling, playmaking and good decision making. Most of our attack were through him.
Dare I say he was as good or even better than an in-form season 02/03 Nedved?
8.5.
Tacchinardi : Did well in his destroyer role when he came in do protect the lead, got himself a stupid card and than got himself send of though. Which ofcourse down his grade, It would've been a lot better if he hadn't been sent of.
5.5
Del Piero: Did well and looked threatening. Some good play, was surprised and a little angry at why he was subsituted so early. Capello's subs packed out well though. The eternal question can be raised then, how good would Del Piero have done; had he stayed on?
6
Zalayeta: Zalayeta does it again, zalayeta the saviour! Wasn't that involved at the start but looked threatening through the match and did his best. And the goal ofcourse..
Why was(is) is this guy mainly a bench player?
7
Ibrahimovic : Started out decent, but not greatly. Good ball skills, combined with his long legs and strength. Needs to work on his decisions though and shooting. He looked a lot better after he was Playing out wide on the left. Plus he provided a good assist.
6.5
Trezeguet: Was a little invisible at the start, but he did his very best and some SMART moves. Amazing goal as well ofcourse! I tend to critisize him often, but bravo Trezeguet!
7
Capello:
I disagreed with the early DP sub, but it turned out fine. Capello's gameplan was perfect and exactly as it should have been. Amazing.
