Yeah, and he has been very good since he left Parma, helping Bologna to some very valuable points. We've got to keep a close eye on him, Dalla Bona (if he plays) and Locatelli because with space and time they could hurt us.
Against Reggina yesterday Lippi tried out the Micco - DP tandem for the first time. DV started with Alex upfront but wasn't very good and was subbed. I didn't watch the game, but I heard that Micco and DP formed a pretty good partnership so maybe we'll see that from the start against Bologna.
What's the situation with our injured players? I know that Biri is still out, but what's up with Camo, Treze and Tudor? Here's what I'd play:
Buffon
Zambrotta Thuram Legrottaglie Pessotto
Conte/Appiah Tacchinardi Maresca
Nedved
Miccoli Del Piero
That's the defence that worked so well against Reggina so I'd give it another shot. With Maresca, Nedved, Miccoli AND Del Piero in the squad we're bound to create alot more chances imo. After hitting the crossbar three times against Reggina, DP will undoubtedly be hungry for a goal. I think he'll get it.
Prediction: 2-0 or 2-1
