Juve receive Diego boost
Monday 14 September, 2009
There is good news for Juventus fans after it was announced that Diego will only be sidelined for seven days – rather than the 15 originally predicted.
The Brazilian limped out of the club’s 2-0 win at Lazio on Sunday with injury and it was feared that he would miss four games.
However, the Turin giants have this afternoon released a statement which has eased anxiety amongst the Bianconeri faithful.
“This morning Diego underwent magnetic resonance tests under Professor Faletti at the CTO of Turin,” read an official note.
“The tests did not show any muscular lesion to the right thigh but a simple semi-membranous muscle strain which entails seven days of recovery time.”

'I want to write history at Juve'
After three seasons thrilling Werder Bremen fans Brazilian playmaker Diego joined Juventus in the summer and has picked up where he left off at the Stadio Olimpico. The 24-year-old scored twice in victory at AS Roma and has been drawing favourable comparisons with some illustrious Bianconeri names of the past. Diego is ruled out of side's UEFA Champions League opener against FC Girondins de Bordeaux but, in a wide-ranging Q&A with uefa.com readers, insists he is looking to the future: "I would like to write my own history at Juventus."
What do you think about Juventus's Champions League group?
Peter Randazzo, 16, Partanna, Sicily
Diego: We're going to face some good teams, and for me there will be a special challenge: Juventus will play Bayern München so I will be going back to Germany to play against an old rival. I know that game – and the others – will be hard, but I believe we are going to do well and go far in this competition.
How will it feel to face Bayern in the Champions League?
Sambid Adhikari
Diego: They have a very good team and for me they are going to represent a special challenge. It will be nice to face my old rivals. I respect Bayern as a great team, but I am going to go there to win.
Are Juve strong enough to do well in both Serie A and the Champions League? Can we win one or maybe both of them?
Ádám Hámori, Juventus fan from Hungary
Diego: We are going to do a good job – the team is strong and motivated and those skills are important if we're going to compete in and win both of the competitions. But we are focusing on one game at a time.
What are your impressions of Juve coach Ciro Ferrara?
Gianluca, 33, Venice, Italy
Diego: He's a very talented coach and knows how to extract the best from each player. He really welcomed me at Juve and has made me feel comfortable on the pitch since my first training session at the club. I admire him and I'm learning a lot.
You've recently been mentioned alongside some Juventus greats such as Platini, Baggio and Zidane. Which one of those players is your favourite and which would you most like to emulate?
Ali, 20, Trinidad
Diego: I've always admired these players and I feel happy and proud about these comments. I cannot single out a favourite: all have somehow inspired me and helped me develop as a player. But I would like to write my own history at Juventus.
How is the style of football in Italy different from the Bundesliga and what adjustments have you had to make to your game?
Vashish Sohodeb, 14, United Kingdom
Diego: The biggest difference is the team's organisation. Here, defences are tighter and teams usually play more defensively. In Italy you have to be more creative to break down the defensive systems.
Do you feel under pressure to fill the boots of club legend Pavel Nedvěd?
John Kerr, 17, Glasgow, Scotland
Diego: I don't feel under pressure. I've always really admired Juventus and since I was a child I've followed the Italian championship. Now I am a part of this championship, wearing Juve's shirt. It is a childhood dream that is reality now. I only hope I can help the team as much as Pavel did.
Who is your best friend at Juventus?
Theodore Kokkoris, 9, Mytilene, Greece
Diego: At first, I was closest to the Brazilian players. That's natural because of the common culture and language. Now, I am getting to know all the players better and they are becoming good friends too.
Italy is a great country. What do you like the most about it?
Etuna Machavariani, 16, Georgia
Diego: I am feeling extremely happy and motivated here. I am doing a good job for Juventus and the supporters are giving me much more back. Plus I now I feel I have connected with the other players and I am starting to really feel at home. As far as the lifestyle goes, I like the weather and the Italian character – people here are friendly and open.
Do you enjoy playing football in different countries, adapting to a different styles and cultures?
Craig Hodel, 22, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada
Diego: Every time you move to a new country it's a challenge and it is an extra motivation for me. I like to meet people and learn more about different cultures and football gives me this chance. We usually travel to play around the world, in international competitions and also we have the chance to meet players from all continents.
What do you miss about Bremen and Germany?
Clemens Christ, 19, Offenau, Germany
Diego: I'm trying not to think about things I will miss. Bremen is a nice place, Werder are a great team and I made good friends and had a great time there. Those people will always be my friends – it doesn't matter that we can't meet up all the time the way we used to. Your feelings don't change. I feel the same about Werder's supporters. But I'm building a new life and it's a new time in my professional career. I'm happy in Turin. The tifosi are enthusiastic, and I'm playing for the team I used to dream about when I was a child.
When you played for Bremen I really liked your celebrations where you fly kick the corner flag. What is the reason for that celebration?
Atif Hussain, 27, Thornton Heath, England
Diego: It's hard to say. The moment when you score is always an explosion of feelings and I just celebrate it!
How many hours a day did you train when you were younger?
Papa Amoah
Diego: I've loved playing football since I was very young. Back then, sometimes I was practising but other times, I was just playing just for fun. I used to play with a football for three or four hours every day. I always loved playing and I took it seriously. I became a professional at 16 and I won a Brazilian Championship at 17.
What skill do you most need to improve?
Paolo, Turin, Italy
Diego: I always would like to do better in general. For a good player it is not enough to be good at just one skill.
Different players have different ways of handling butterflies in your stomach prior to entering the pitch. You seem to handle pressure well. What routine or methods do you have for controlling stress and using it in your favor?
Angelo Salonitis, Athens, Greece
Diego: I love playing football and I am doing what I love. It takes the edge off the pressure. But I try to relax and don't think too much about the game so that I sleep well the night before. That helps.

Good job your not then 
maybe we should play 2 4 4 gung ho. 
Seriously though if both players are injured then 44 2 could be an option as can 4 3 3.
What would you play against Livorno if Giovinco gets injured tonight and Diego isnt ready?
Camo or Tiago as the 1 in a 4 3 1 2?, Remember Alex is injured also so hes out.
The 4 4 2 is a very effective formation, its just that we didnt have the players to play that way the last couple of years cos our wing backs and wingers sucked.
I could live with playing at home against Livorno with
Buffon
Zebina Canavarro Chellini Caceres
Camo Melo Marchisio De Ceglie/Grosso
Amauri Iaquinta
