Category: <b>General</b><br><br>On the eve of the clash at the San Paolo - tonight at 9.00 pm - Didier Deschamps was quizzed on the line-up, with central defensive pairing Boumsong and Kovac, Marchionni, Trezeguet and Giannichedda all unavailable. “Unfortunately some players haven’t recovered from the game on Wednesday night; the biggest problem is in defence, where I have two solutions: bring either Chiellini or Birindelli into the middle. Although Zebina is fit again, he’s not ready for a full 90 minutes and I’m not going to play him from the start”. With Trezeguet unavailable he was also asked about the attacking line-up. “I think it’s best to have a couple that complement one another, that is, a forward and an out-and-out striker”.
The journalists asked whether a draw would do. “It’s an important game, but not vital. That’s not to say we’ll be looking for a draw. We’re going there to win. Napoli are coming into the game on the back of a negative result, the stadium will be full, the atmosphere will be tense and they will want to win against Juve”. And with a somewhat different position in the standings, do Juventus run the risk of a drop in concentration? “I don’t think there’s any danger of us lacking focus in a game like this, not with a sell-out crowd and the atmosphere which that brings; perhaps it could happen against a smaller team”.
The conference ended with a look back at the TIM Cup third round tie in August, in which Napoli got the better of the Bianconeri. “Things were very different then, for us and for them. What’s more, we got a few things wrong in extra time. I might not have everyone available, but I’m not worried”.<br><br>Source: Juventus.com
