COPPA ITALIA: Siena - Juventus (1 Viewer)

[Stu]

Through to the 2nd round of the CL, and on top of Serie A, Juve will travel to Siena in their first Coppa Italia game of the season. Due to the fact that the CL trip to Galatasary has been postponed, we'll be the only of the Italy's top runners in action, and this could prove to be an advantage, since our opponents in Round 11, Inter, have CL responsibilities in midweek.

Marcello Lippi has promised that the players who didn't start against Modena would play in this match, so we'll definitely see Enzo Maresca, and a strike duo of either Miccoli and Di Vaio or Miccoli and Zalayeta, since DV played a part in the Modena clash.

Forza Juve! anyway, I don't know anything about the Coppa Italia-anyone care to provide background?

 

[Stu]

Well, the Coppa Italia is the Italian equivalent of England's FA Cup. Juve have won it the most times, which is 9, and I think that if we win it a 10th time we'll get a silver star. (you know how we have 2 gold stars because we've won 20+ Scudetti? apparently you get a silver star for every 10 Coppas)

 

[Zlatan]

Two gold stars and one silver above. That would look cool :thumb:

 

[Stu]

Yes, it would :thumb:

 

[Zlatan]

Sadly tho, I dont believe it will happen

 

[Henry]

That would be very sweet! I do doubt it will happen... I doubt we will win more than one trophy this year....

 

[Stu]

I actually think we'll win the treble this season :strong: We're on course to clinch our 28th Scudetto and definitely have a squad capable of going one better than last season in the CL. As for the Coppa, with players like Birindelli, Ferrara, Maresca, Davids, Olivera and of course Di Vaio and Miccoli in our second team, we should be able to bring home this domestic cup as well as Europe's elite club competition and the league

 

[Vinman]

Any television coverage ?????

 

[Stu]

Dunno about you, but I won't get to see it.

OK, let me be the first to provide a lineup prediciton.



================Chimenti===================


Biri=======Tudor==========Iuliano=========Pessotto


Appiah=============Davids=========Maresca

====================Oliveira=================

======Zalayeta===================Miccoli========



I think that we might see Benjamin's debut on tuesday as well.

 

[Stu]

Chimenti - Tudor (Birindelli), Ferrara (Tudor), Iuliano, Pessotto - Appiah, Maresca, Davids - Olivera - Zalayeta (Di Vaio), Miccoli

I'd try this:

            Zalayeta

  
  Olivera    Maresca     Miccoli

      
          Conte   Davids


Pessoto   Tudor   Iuliano   Birindelli

            
             Chimenti

 

[kaizer]

i cant see it either...no tv coverage in my country....:down:

:extatic: oliveira...! excited to hear that name mentioned

 

[Zizou]

Since someone asked, the match will most probably be on a Rai channel, since it's at 18.30 (not to clash with CL coverage) I'm guessing it will be on Rai 2.

i really really hope Benjamin makes his debut that would be awesome

Not bad Zlatan, but then again I don't know if it's worth the risk of playing Chimenti... it's not like Buffon gets injured....

Siena already said that they will take this game very seriously, and they are preparing this game with anxiety.

that woudlnt be any risk.. when we think about fielding reserve, we already prepares to lose the tournament anyway....

chimenti played for the Coppa squad last year..
