Marcello Lippi was quite serene and confident when he entered the press room the day before the start of the Serie A. There’s the desire of beginning a season in which the blackandwhites will play in different competitions and with the “scudetto“ on the shirt to be defended.
As usual, Marcello Lippi spoke to the team and, when he arrived in the press room, he spoke of his sensations to the journalists: “I tried to express to the players the trust I’ve got in them. I told them that we’ll have to play a beautiful and difficult season, to be faced with the usual formula: humilty, participation and having the same goals. I don’t know if we are the strongest or the most spectacular, but for me it’s important for Juve to be concrete, to be able to play good football: these things have always been the best “weapons” of my Juve. All the players are really important, we have to be aware of our abilities. If we’ll understand all these things, at the end of the season we’ll obtain something important, as it happened in the past.
About the team for tomorrow’s match the coach from Viareggio had no doubt :”It’s the one I tried during the training. In the offense Del Piero and Di Vaio will be the starters . I spoke with Salas, he’s doing well and he’s getting better but he lacks something and it wouldn’t be right for him to be a starter because he hasn’t got the resistance for the whole 90 minutes and during the match it may happen I have to do three substitutions. So I can’t risk”. Lippi can’t count on Davids, disqualified, nor on the injured Conte, Iuliano, Olivera, Pessotto, Trezeguet, Tudor and Zambrotta . The young Paro will go then on the bench.
Lippi introduced this way Atalanta, which played quite well in the pre-season: “It’s enough to say that Atalanta beat both Roma and Inter in friendly matches, playing in the same way with different players. That means Atalanta is a team which can use different solutions”.
