Capello considers trident attack Wednesday 4 May, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus continue their Press silence while testing out new tactical solutions, but patron Lapo Elkann admits he’s expecting an entertaining game against Milan this Sunday.
“I’d prefer to sit down and watch Milan-Juventus in the San Siro stands rather than talk about it,” revealed the heir to the FIAT empire.
“I think it impossible to make a prediction right now. The important thing is that both teams could not be more motivated and it will certainly be a difficult encounter. I also expect it to be a spectacular one.”
The two clubs have been locked together at the top of the Serie A table for months now and Sunday’s showdown at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza could decide the Scudetto race.
Juve have decided to best prepare for this most important game of the season by refusing to speak with the Press, as they claimed in a statement last weekend that there was a plot to “damage the club” in this delicate time.
Prying eyes are nonetheless keeping close tabs on the training sessions to work out how Fabio Capello will set out his squad, especially in the absence of the suspended Zlatan Ibrahimovic and injured Jonathan Zebina.
Lilian Thuram and Alessio Tacchinardi did not take part in training today, but should be fit enough to resume activity tomorrow.
With David Trezeguet returning to full fitness, it is rumoured that the Frenchman will start in place of Alessandro Del Piero, as Marcelo Zalayeta represents a more tactically versatile figure.
Another option he has tested out this week is the trident attack with Del Piero countering Marcos Cafu and Zalayeta running at Paolo Maldini.
The Bianconeri have started with three upfront in five occasions this year and all of them – including the trip to Roma – saw them emerge with maximum points. However, when introduced during a match, it has only earned two draws and a defeat.
Juventus haven’t conquered the San Siro since a crushing 6-1 victory in 1996-97, followed by five draws and two Milan wins.
