Fantastic hattrick by Trezeguet and a very good first half performance all round, with the way they were all interchanging i thought io was watching Ajax. It was nice to see Camo, Trez, Dp and Nedved interchanging positions and not sticking to the boring regimented stuff.
The only black mark is what I am seeing of Zlatan of late, whether you like him or not, if we are gonna win Cl, he needs to be in tip top condition, cos as well as Dp is playing, he does lack pace and Zlatan has that, and to be honest i cannot see us winning Cl with 1 paced players like Emerson, Dp and Vieira all in the same team . but Zlatan too has gotta cut out all the nonsense and get his act together, he has been very average this season , no matter what anyone says and yes Juve do play better as a unit with Dp in the team but like i said he cannot beat defenders for pace just skill and that sets him apart from the likes of etoo, Henry, sheva and the rest cos technically he is as good if not better than aforementioned
It was the best performance i have ever seen Trez giving, forget about the 3 goals, he was crossing the ball into the penalty area, he was on the wings, he held up the ball, he ran with the ball, he did his usual flicks and stuff and if he plays like this we stand a good chance in Cl cos that will mean all players being involved instead of 9 outfield players and Trez . He even worked harder than his strike partner which is unheard of.
Another downside is of cos after playing so well, the ref blows his whistle and the players talk to the manager, and he does his usual magic team talk and then they bore the pants of ya, in the second half. I just wish football can be like tennis where teams are not aloud to talk to their manager or coach during a game, it might be a better spectacle as surely Capello killed the game.
Another nonsense is Zlatan's non appearnace against Roma in the cup, he should have played if he was not gonna start against Ascoli after missing Empoli with suspension or maybe Dp's 2 goals against Roma changed Capello's mind
Buffon : Nothing of note to mention apart from again he conceded a goal 5.5
Zebina: He was good and played very well as a right back, yes opposition was awful but he did better than most of the guys that have asked to play right back 6
Thuram: a better performance but then again he was not playing against anyone even if Ferrante did manage to score 6
Cannavaro: ditto
Zambrotta: played very well at left back as he should, went forward well and contained that diver Foggia very well too 6.5
Nedved: very good in the first half but like every juve player subdued in second 6
Camoranesi: A performance which typifies why he is not a bona fide worldclass player and why he would always be described as underrated gem or unsung hero, he just does not pass the ball at the right time all the time, he tries to do too much at times and slows down pace of attack. If he could just improve his decision making then he would be regarded as world class no questions. No surprise he was subbed cos if i was the manager, id have done the same, he was anooying me as well 6.5
Emerson: Just glided through the game like the class player he is 6.5
Vieria: Better performance from him but how come he cannot pass the ball forward? His forward passes were just awful, he gave the ball away more than anyother Juve player and most of the time they were unforced errors. He was betaen for pace far too easily for the goal we conceded and i do wish he controls himself cos he ought to have been sent off 5.5
Dp: He should have scored in the first few seconds and perhaps again when he missed Trez's delightful cross, but his overall game was excellent and awareness his second to none. The only blemish is like i said chronic lack of pace 7
Trez: Was just a pleasure to see him play like that 8.5
Zlatan: Game was dead when he came on, still had a 1 on 1 with a defender which he fluffed and looks outta sorts, i would like to see him back with a bang as we need to be pulling togetther and he is an asset when his head is right. He should learn from Dp who has come off the bench to score, noone has the divine right to start unless you are playing well and thats what Capello should adopt if he wants to win Cl
Mutu: too late to make any impact
