Anybody remember this match?
The other day I was browsing through my collection of old Juventus matches, found this gem, and decided to put this one in my VCR for my viewing pleasure. This was a pretty interesting match considering the league position we were in at the time -- if I recall correctly, six points behind Roma, just a year after we squandered a nine point advantage in 2000.
We were running the 3-4-1-2 under Carlo and had the Zidane e Davids connection in midfield, probably my favorite midfield duo in the history of the game because they were just so sly and smooth. I also loved big Igor Tudor in that team, scoring off the Del Piero cross for the first goal, celebrating through some fist-pumping action that still sends me into oblivion even today. That was a pretty cool team. Shame we didn't win much.
Hopefully the combination of Melo and Diego can provide that creativity and slyness we have missed throughout the past 8 years.
Anyways, I just wanted to highlight that match before we begin the new season. Hopefully we learned some lessons from those point differentials in 2000 and 2001.
