Ranieri urges Seba patience

Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri has discussed the possibility of Sebastian Giovinco stepping in for the injured David Trezeguet.

Trez underwent surgery on both knees earlier today and isn't expected to return to the pitch before the end of January 2009.

“They tell me that his operation went well and that makes me happy,” Ranieri said.

“I knew that he had a problem with his other knee as well and it's not for me to ask about the nature of the procedure.”

The loss of Trezeguet could hand Azzurrini starlet Sebastian Giovinco a chance in the first team.

“His (Giovinco) time will come slowly but surely - we shouldn't wait for him like a Messiah,” Ranieri asserted.

“We have to see him as a lad who needs to be slowly integrated and we have to take a responsible approach.

“I have never said that he poses a tactical problem. He is just developing as a player - he always played in the centre and then he was on the left at Empoli.

“I brought him back to be a back-up to Pavel Nedved but that doesn't mean that he can't be used in attack.

“I have a lot of faith in him. He works hard and he has great quality but let's give him some time.”


Juventus currently lead Serie A along with Inter and their next test is a home game against Catania.

“It's too early to talk about a title race with Inter,” Ranieri stressed. “It's an open championship and Milan, Roma and Fiorentina are still in it, as well as Lazio, who have started well, Napoli and Sampdoria.

“Now I am expecting to face a Catania side looking to build on their performance at San Siro.

“They troubled us twice last term when we won 1-0 and when we needed a last-gasp Alessandro Del Piero penalty to get a draw.

Ranieri is an asshole. He ruined today's game with his fucked up substitutions.
thats the dumbest thing i've ever heard

how the fuck can you blame CR when our offense had numerous chances to double up the score? his subs didn't affect the game negatively, they were brought in to strengthen the push forward to try to score.

Giovinco got cramps. He took him out so he doesn't risk injuring him, thus missing out on more matches, instead of mere 12 minute, but you idiots obviously can't think ahead and are looking for any excuse to bash Ranieri.

Right, and if he had left Gio on and the latter pulled a muscle or something and as a result needed to be sidelined for a month, I'm sure you'll blame Ranieri as well.

I thought the formation was great today, and CR did well to sub Gio. In addition to tough luck, our attackers didn't convert the multitude of chances, it's as simple as that. I thought Ranieri did okay tonight; let's be a little objective, can't we?

In football the coach is always the scapegoat. Sadly but that is a law

All these chances were before Giovinco went out.
so what the fuck is your point?

are you saying that after CR subbed Seba that all our chances of winning the match diminished?

what about our great leader ADP or our overpaid "goal machine" amauri??

ADP didn't do shit the entire match

amauri is debated to be better than trez because he can create his own chances and chances for others as well. so i ask you where the fuck were they???

i highly doubt that Ranieri told our team to keep attacking but lay off goal scoring after going up 1. we are offensively and defensively deficient. its partly the coaches fault but not today, that was not CR's objective.

Giovinco got cramps. He took him out so he doesn't risk injuring him, thus missing out on more matches, instead of mere 12 minute, but you idiots obviously can't think ahead and are looking for any excuse to bash Ranieri.
exactly

well put

Your quite right, he is an asshole but you cant blame him at all for yesterdays result, the blame lays purely at the feet of the players, they wasted so many opportunities and it is because of them we drew, not because of the asshole claudio

:agree: we need some 1 who knows how to deal with young talent!

someone like prandelli!
Wenger :p
