I've won the treble. I managed exactly 100 points in the league, beating second place Milan by 21 points, beat Sampdoria 5-2 on aggregate in the Coppa final, and won the CL against Milan. Just like the 2003 final in real life, the match went to penalties, but instead of Milan being victorious, Buffon saved their first three kicks to lead me to a 3-0 penalty shootout win. The match had ended 1-1, and I thought it was extremely suiting. With Cannavaro and Tudor out injured and Kompany cup-tied, the legendary Ciro Ferrara was given the nod to start alongside Thuram in central defence. He scored Juve's only goal of the game and slotted home a penalty too. In his final Juventus appearance (v Bologna) he also got on the scoresheet. Grazie mille, Ciro.
It has really been a season to remember. During the course of the year Alex Del Piero won 5 awards and scored a whopping 38 goals in 38 starts and 2 appearances from the bench. To add to that amazing tally of goals DP was the second highest assistman in the team with 16, only Pavel Nedved had more. Olivier Kapo won the Foreign Player of the Year award while Zlatan Ibrahimovic picked up the Young Player of the Year award. Thuram was Defender of the Year, Buffon was Goalkeeper of the Year and I was Manager of the Year. DP won the following awards: European Player of the Year, World Player of the Year, Serie A Player of the Year, Italian Player of the Year, Serie A Striker of the Year and he was of course the capocannoniere. He finished the season with an average rating of 8.35.
So, it's time for whole sale changes. Chimenti, Iuliano, Montero, Legrottaglie and Appiah have left already. Ferrara and Pessotto will leave as their contracts have expired and Birindelli could be set for an exit too (is Miguel any good?). There's no room for Tacchinardi or Blasi and Camoranesi has been transfer listed along with Zalayeta and Trezeguet.
