What is the point of posting if you are not willing to hear what other people have to say?

There are others who have followed Ranieri for a long time.
Because its the same old same old juve_red. He's great coach, he won many games including the milan and real madrid games and we're still in the race for both titles in europe and in italy those who are against him know nothing about the game we've heard that a thousand time in this forum.

But the guy can't see the obvious, if you're insisting on keeping you're most talented youngster on the bench and keep playing a player that we all love "nedved" but he's clearlly can give nothing anymore just because you don't have the balls to try something new i call him chicken.

It's not about this game alone (one game means nothing throught a long season) but these things keeps happening over and over again.

Ranieri encouraged by draw Sunday 18 January, 2009

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Claudio Ranieri sees the Olimpico draw as a positive result and trusts Juventus can catch Inter at the top.

A win against Lazio would have closed the gap to just one point after the Nerazzurri's shock 3-1 loss at Atalanta, but the 1-1 draw means there are three points between them.

“It is a long season and we want to chip away at their lead. We knew it wasn't easy for us to come to Lazio, we played well and picked up a point. We must keep fighting and see what happens,” said Ranieri.

“All teams have ups and downs. When Inter had injuries to their defence in the early weeks, they still got points, while we struggled during similar problems and paid a heavy price for that time.

“Now we are back on our feet and are closing the gap, so we keep hoping that we can catch them.”

Cristian Ledesma's free kick caught out Alex Manninger, but Olof Mellberg nodded in the equaliser.

“Lazio went at quite a pace and we tried to play our game, but we struggled to fight them as they were good at keeping the pressure up.

“I think it was a very entertaining match in which Lazio did a great deal in the first half and the second was more in our favour.”

The Bianconeri were without Giorgio Chiellini, Gigi Buffon, Dario Knezevic, Zdenek Grygera, Mauro Camoranesi, Jonathan Zebina, Hasan Salihamidzic, Vincenzo Iaquinta and David Trezeguet.

Ranieri gave 19-year-old youth team defender Lorenzo Ariaudo his Serie A debut as centre-back.

“Last year when I let him play in international friendlies, he always seemed confident and secure. He did very well in the Coppa Italia against Catania.

“I was a little unsure, but I told Mellberg I didn't feel like changing the shape of the defence and was convinced he'd do well against Zarate, as he already impressed me against Real Madrid when faced with Drenthe.”

Next week Juventus take on rivals Fiorentina in Turin, but will be missing the suspended Momo Sissoko and Christian Molinaro.

“Honestly it could start to weigh on us, but we have been in an emergency situation for three months and the replacements ensure the big stars are not missed, so now everyone is a first team player.

“I believe whoever will replace Molinaro and Sissoko on Saturday will do a good job.

“We do not need to go on the transfer market. Ariaudo is doing well and we are 99 per cent sure that there will not be any signings.”

Buffon was meant to make his comeback this evening, but pulled out after the final training session with a flu virus.

“I saw him yesterday before we left and he could barely breathe, he was really bunged up and had a temperature.”

Juve are in good form going towards the Champions League second round clash, but opponents Chelsea are struggling.

“Chelsea are going through a shaky period, but that worries me because there's a while to go yet and they can easily turn a corner in that time.”

With all the talk of Kaka's move to Manchester City, Ranieri confirmed he was asked to join the Eastlands club.

“There was another owner, a former Prime Minister of Thailand, and we talked when he was still in the process of buying City. But I could not say no to Juventus.”

As much us I like Nedved, I agree with you 100%. Ranieri should find some other solution, because we need better play on right side. I will try with DC, but I'm not coach and he should know the best solution.

Ranieri apre le porte al brasiliano Diego: "Lo stiamo seguendo, ma dovremo valutare bene - dice - è chiaro che mi piace, è fortissimo, ma dobbiamo pensare anche all'equilibrio della squadra. La Champions? Per andare alla finale di Roma pagherei di tasca mia, ma prima dobbiamo affrontare squadre fortissime".

Claudio Ranieri fa il punto in vista della sfida di sabato sera con la Fiorentina: "Non abbiamo trovato un motivo particolare per tutti questi infortunati- dice a Juventus Channel - l'anno scorso non ne abbiamo avuti di grossi, non avevamo tante partite ma facevamo tanti allenamenti. E la preparazione non è cambiata. Marchionni l'anno scorso era martoriato. Quest'anno tocca ad altri. Sono mesi particolari. Tutte le squadre hanno avuto infortuni, l'Inter in difesa, la Roma con Totti e Aquilani... Il problema c'è e cercheremo di risolverlo. Zanetti da una botta ha avuto una serie di ricadute. Chiellini pure ha un leggero fastidio. Così come Camoranesi, eppure le ecografie ci dicono che il muscolo sta bene. Speriamo di recuperarlo presto, sta facendo tutto il lavoro in palestra. Deve migliorare nella corsa. Ha recuperato anche Zebina e mi auguro di averlo a disposizione in 15 giorni. Chiellini domani stesso andrà a fare un ulteriore controllo. Tiago aveva solo la febbre e anche Knezevic sta recuperando. Sono un pò fatalista e dico che meno male che chi li sta rimpiazzando sta facendo un ottimo campionat

Ranieri: «We will have back our champions in the decisive moments»

«The match against Fiorentina will be a difficult one. We will be playing against a good team which is having a great championship. Brick after brick they are becoming a splendid reality and we were very clever to have obtained better placing in the table even though we had just been promoted from the Serie B. Also last year though, they beat us in Turin. I remember it clearly and the boys are on the alert». Claudio Ranieri spoke of the match against Fiorentina with Juventus Channel. A complicated match but for which Juventus are supposed to have back important players: «the clinic is slowly being emptied and this is good but first and foremost hats off to those who played up to now and who managed to bring Juventus to such a position notwithstanding the absence of so many champions. Our champions will be back in the decisive moments ».
