Trez eager for Cagliari chance Saturday 15 January, 2005
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
David Trezeguet made an impressive comeback midweek and claims he is ready to start against Cagliari on Sunday evening.
“I will definitely be in Sardinia and I certainly expect to play at least some of the game,” explained the Juve striker.
He had not stepped on to the field since undergoing shoulder surgery in early October, but has lost none of his spark by scoring one goal in the 3-3 Coppa Italia tie against Atalanta and seeing another incorrectly disallowed.
“I am at Coach Fabio Capello’s full disposal and I’ll accept any decision he makes. He knows I am ready to play when he thinks the time is right.”
Trezeguet’s return to full fitness will bring up some issues for the Coach, such as how he’ll fit into the system with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Alessandro Del Piero, or if the Italian will be benched altogether to make room.
“I can assure you the Atalanta game did not tire me out and I feel good,” assured Trezeguet. “A couple of days are more than enough to get my energy levels back up. It was the comeback I was hoping for, with a goal and a good overall performance.”
Juve squad: 1 Buffon, 4 Montero, 7 Pessotto, 8 Emerson, 9 Ibrahimovic, 10 Del Piero, 11 Nedved, 12 Chimenti, 16 Camoranesi, 17 Trezeguet, 18 Appiah, 19 Zambrotta, 20 Blasi, 21 Thuram, 22 Bonnefoi, 23 Kapo, 24 Olivera, 25 Zalayeta, 27 Zebina, 28 Cannavaro
