Nedved: Juve need a shrink
Pavel Nedved has an unorthodox solution to Juventus’ European-Serie A split personality: call in a psychologist.
“Perhaps we should sign a psychologist instead of new players,” joked the Czech this afternoon. “There is no logical reason for the differences in our results in the Champions League and domestically.”
Although the Bianconeri are eight points clear at the top of the Serie A table and look set to celebrate their second consecutive Scudetto, the European stage has proved much more difficult.
Fabio Capello’s men went out against eventual winners Liverpool with a sluggish quarter-final performance in Turin and look set for another humiliating exit after losing the first leg 2-0 at Arsenal.
“I think that in Europe we are the victims of a psychological block. I can’t see any other reason for it. However, it’s not over yet and we’ll do everything we can to overturn this result.”
Nedved was suspended for that match at Highbury and will return for next Wednesday’s decider, but teammates Mauro Camoranesi, Jonathan Zebina and Patrick Vieira will sit out bans.
Alessandro Del Piero is also a major injury doubt, although he has resumed light training and could potentially feature at the Delle Alpi.
