[Coppa Italia] Juventus - Fiorentina (4 Viewers)
- Thread starter swag
- Start date
buffon
balza------gladstone-----canna--------zambrotta
oli--------blasi/gianni----------emo----------mutu
-------------trez---------dp------------
i also want gladstone OR criscito to play... (poor kids!)
oli and criscito were on the bench saturday, so they shud be given a chance here.
mutu is on fire and he should continue cutting in the middle, so no, juve do not play as a flat 4-4-2!
buffon must have a clean sheet to regain confidence and I'm hoping for a DP goal to get us through the next round

Cap said Buffon, Balzaretti(on the left), Vieira or Emerson, Blasi, DP, Zalayeta, Nedved, Camo or Olivera will start for sure.
Could be like this:
--------------------Buffon---------------------
Zambrotta, Thuram, Cannavaro, Balzaretti
---Camoranesi, Emerson, Blasi, Nedved---
-------------Zalayeta, Del Piero-------------

Capello: "We want to get through to the next round"
"Buffon is back between the posts, then we'll have Balzaretti on the left and Del Piero and Zalayeta up front. One midfielder between Emerson and Vieira will be out, the other will play next to Blasi. Nedved has recovered and will be on the playground." Fabio Capello, for the first time, announces the line-up, leaving only few doubts: apart from the uncertainty of choosing Emerson or Vieira and between Camoranesi and Olivera, the team that is going to play against Fiorentina is virtually complete. "Those who will get on the pitch will play to win - continues the Bianconeri coach. We want to go through and even if the first-leg draw is a very good result for us, it won't be easy as Fiorentina are a very good side, with top quality players."
More room for Del Piero against the Viola too "He's working well and he’s in a top shape" Capello confirms, and for Gigi Buffon who’ll be back to his place between the posts: "He's fully recovered even if, of course, he needs to get back to playing. Like every sportsman coming back from an injury, he’s got great motivations and he’s looking forward to being a protagonist on the playground again.” The Bianconeri want to confirm the extraordinary moment they’re having in Serie A also in the Italian Cup: “We have to face every match with the same attitude we had against Palermo. It was important not to give up during the Christmas break and we came back with great determination. What have Juventus got more compared to last year’s? We’re aware of our own worth, the players know each other better and most of all we have a wider squad that allows us to make up for the absences and face all the engagements in the best of ways.”
I hope that Criscito or Gladstone get some minutes!
