hi guys. i've seen that some of you have already given up on qualification in the champions league and have thrown the towel because of del piero's injury. wake up! it's true that del piero is the most influential player, but a team is made up of 11 players. this would be a challenge that lippi and the other players would relish to prove that they are a team bigger than the cirmustances and injury woes.:strong:
in the champions league we have a great chance in advancing to the quarter-finals, despite del piero's injury. 2 teams should qualify, now man utd are favourites and basel are nearly out. that leaves us with deportivo to fight out the last card. we have two 2 advantages over them:
1. a 3 point lead (we have 4pts, they only have 1pt).
2. we will play against them at our home, delle alpi.
i also think that nedved will be given a deeper role in midfield to serve the deadly duo of di vaio and trezeguet, both good finishers and also excellent headers. you haven't seen the real di vaio, just give him 2-3 matches to play and you will see him scoring like a machine - like he used to do back in parma. it's just that his matches were discontinous and this would make it hard for any player to catch his form.
if we did qualify, then del piero will be back in time to help us get to the semifinals and then hopefully the final and after that he will lift the champions league trophy along with the other players.
believe and trust in juve, we can do it!!
