Capello quashes last doubts Tuesday 4 April, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus boss Fabio Capello has selected his side which he hopes will be capable of overturning Arsenal’s 2-0 Champions League advantage.
The tactician did have a number of doubts to resolve regarding the absence of three suspended first-team regulars, but he seems to have already settled on the names of the 11 men who he hopes will keep their European Cup dreams alive.
Adrian Mutu will start on the right hand-side of midfielder in place of Mauro Camoranesi, the man who was disgracefully dismissed in the first leg.
Jonathan Zebina also saw red at Highbury which will mean that Gianluca Zambrotta switches to the right, with Giorgio Chiellini coming into the side on the left.
Emerson will be partnered in central midfield by Giuliano Giannichedda as Patrick Vieira is out after he was booked in the initial match against his former club.
Lilian Thuram was rested for the weekend’s 0-0 draw at Treviso yet will be recalled for the Delle Alpi clash on Wednesday.
Pavel Nedved takes his place on the left of midfield after he missed both the first leg and Saturday’s game because of suspension.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Trezeguet will start in attack, as Alessandro Del Piero will only begin on the bench if he passes a fitness test on Tuesday.
Juventus need to win by a 3-0 scoreline to reach the semi-finals, a 2-0 will result in a penalty shoot-out, while an Arsenal goal will require the Old Lady to net at least four!
Juventus (probable): Buffon; Zambrotta, Thuram, Cannavaro, Chiellini; Mutu, Emerson, Giannichedda, Nedved; Trezeguet, Ibrahimovic
.........all i can say is......oh dear, standard 4-4-2 with mutu out of position, we're not gna get through with this....
