Serie A: Atalanta vs Juventus [April 20 , 2008] (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter JCK
- Start date
Atalanta will have to do without their best player, captain, playmaker and top scorer Cristiano Doni, who is suspended.
Most probably they'll be without their second best scorer Langella, who was injured 6 days ago and the initial reports were that he'll be out for 2 weeks.
Atalanta do not need the points at all, while the win isn't a must for us either, even though a win will secure top 4.
But it's Juve playing in Bergamo and Atalanta will not just give up. They'll try to impress.
I expect an interesting match with lots of chances and hopefully many goals and Juve win.

Actually, even though many won't agree with me because it's not Juve style to think that way, if Roma beat Livorno then i think we're chanceless, considering Roma's schedule.
Even if we beat Atalanta, Roma winning vs Livorno will keep them 7pts in front of us, with only 4 matches to go. I doubt Roma will fuck up 3 of the 4 matches.
That's why maybe it will be smarter to give a rest to our best players after we secure top 4.
That way they'll have 1 month rest compared to the others who are still fighting for something in serie A.
I really don't know what's smarter.
With the EURO just around the corner it will be too much if we play at 100% till late May, then play the EURO and then play CL qualifications in August.
Opinions?

Hehe, you guys know Glenn? 
If they have so key attacking players missing Alen, is there any chance Paolucci might play? Floccari and Pippo jr are still available, but I havent noticed Paolucci play even once in 4 months for them.

Actually, all i know is that he was in the predicted line-up before the match, i don't know if he played.
I'll check.......
...i checked, he played until minute 68 and then Simone Inzaghi replaced him.
Btw, the match date is 4/20.
Who understands understands, who doesn't...well...
