[Coppa Italia] Parma 0-1 JUVENTUS (January 28th, 2015) (6 Viewers)

Incredible as it seems, Parma considers Juventus their biggest rivals in Serie A (like all the other 18 clubs - that's how it works when you are the undisputed biggest club of the country(.
Also they know they already fucked up in Serie A, so they will probably go with everything for this game. This is the equivalent of a scudetto to them.
And I really don't understand how the hell they have 9 points. I mean, look at their squad. It's a decent squad for a small club.
Paletta, De Ceglie, Cassani, Francesco Lodi, Jose Mauri, Galloppa, Cristian Rodriguez, Varela, Cassano, Belfodil, Donadoni as the coach.
It's an expensive team for a small/medium club in Italy.
So we should definitely not take this game for granted.
Allegri already said Pirlo will play this game.
So we could go with:
Storari - Caceres, Bonucci, Ogbonna, Padoin - Pirlo, Vitale/Mattielo, Pereyra - Pepe, Coman, Llorente.
We must rest Chiellini and mainly Pogba, Vidal (coming from sickness) and Tevez. Pogba and Tevez play almost every match. They need a break.

They lost at home to Cesena so that sort of goes without saying 
But if they have the balls to sack Donadoni we've all seen teams go through some crazy form for a couple of months at least. With him and no new ideas and players I just can't see them having a chance. 9 points from 20 games is criminal.

The funny thing is though that Parma are seeded higher than Juve in the coppa Italia due to their history in the cup hence why this one is played away. Totally wrong way of doing it imo

Parma, from top quality strikers in Asprilla, Zola, Crespo, Inzaghi, Chiesa.... To Cassano and relegation 
Parmalat left both Parma and Palmeiras in the shit. But damn that sponsor built some amazing teams in that 90's period.

Yes, i know. I liked 90's Parma though. They weren't as cunty as Fiorentina.

That club, with the aforementioned strikers, were in consecutive European competitions for over a decade, which unless you are Juve, the Milan clubs, or Roma, is nearly unheard of. What they were able to accomplish, given their status, was pretty amazing.
It shows you what money can get you. Parmalat was too rich. Every team that wore their name on their shirts had quality in abundance. Imagine a Palmeiras with Roberto Carlos, Cafu, Rivaldo, Edmundo, Evair, and too many more top quality to name. Not to mention Penarol, Boca Juniors and of course Parma.
I remember they used to have their own little cup with all the clubs who represented them. It involved some Brazilian club, one Argentine, one Uruguayan and of course, Parma and others i won't remember.
When people say that Serie A was still strong in the early 00's i tend to disagree. From 85 to 98 is when it really was the best. When you had teams like Parma, Fiorentina, Torino, Sampdoria with WC players and at least 2 or 3 more fighting for the title.
