[Serie A] JUVENTUS 1-0 Chievo, August 23rd 2009 (2 Viewers)

[El Santo]

Melo is suspended. Sissoko is injured. Camoranesi is unlikely to be match fit. Who do you propose we start in midfield besides Marchisio, Diego, and Tiago? Almiron? We could go with Poulsen, but why not give Iago a chance to deputize for Camo. I doubt Chievo will be pressuring us that much, especially if we have players who can keep hold of the ball and distribute it well.

Why do so many people have this "Italian Mentality" which dictates fear of giving opportunities to players simply based on the fact that they are presumably unaccomplished or have not yet established themselves?

It is our first game of the season, and we can play him for one half, if he screws up badly. The season is still long, and the risk is minimal. It's not like this is a big match against Milan or Inter, a game in the CL QF Knockout stages, or even an elimination game in the Coppa Italia.

Iago not a center mid. he is a trequartista. But i do agree of giving him a chance, hopefully we could be leading by a huge margin so he could play. and dude i know all the juventini in the world believe this first game in this new season is very important, of course nothing like a final, but it is the beginning of our new Juve and we want to impress.

Cause this is Juventus man, every single game we have to play for a win. The fans are not as forgiving as the Gunners for example.

Football Italia has Melo listed as able to play, and have Tiago listed as injured.

[petersmit]

diego wil rape them...

 

[NitK]

Hopefully Diego can keep his current goal to game ratio the same throughout this season.

 

[Brixity]

So..No Tiago, Melo, Camo and Momo. Plus Diego doesnt have 90 mins in him yet
That leaves Marchisio and Poulsen only..unless Marrone or Almiron are gonna be involved

I'm not so sure what to expect now coz it has the looks of a game that will need some grinding to get a good result

Morning in Vinovo, -4 to the championship

The run up to the debut in the championship is in full swing. With four days to go until the match at the Olimpico against Chievo Verona on Sunday night, the team worked in Vinovo on what was a very warm morning.

Chiellini and Camoranesi trained regularly with the group. Del Piero, Zebina and Tiago, who are on their way to recovery, took part in a separate session. Giovinco worked in the gym while absent were Sissoko – who is undergoing therapy in France- and Caceres still on leave.

As on today, definitely absent from the match against the Veneti will be Sissoko, Giovinco and suspended Felipe Melo.

The group worked on the field. After a warm-up session, they proceeded with technique exercises under Dodo Sormani. At the end of the session, Massimiliano Maddaloni worked on attacking schemes with the participation of four Berretti players.

In view of the debut, the weekly schedule foresees another 3 morning sessions: the one tomorrow – Thursday 20th August – will be followed by a press conference by Alessandro Del Piero, which will start at 12:30 and transmitted live on Juventus Channel. The press conference on Saturday, the eve of the match, will take place at the Stadio Olimpico.

No reason to risk Camo yet. Let him start on the bench.

 

[NitK]

Looks like everyone, bar Momo, Gio & Melo, are available for squad selection.

Anyone know what Caceres is on leave for?

brazzo-poulsen-marchisio

What the hell is going on over this dude called Yago, Iago or don't know what, WTF!! I saw the dude playing couple of times and he is ok but nothing fancy!! guys the season didn't even started, it is our first game, reality says that we are still second favorites to Inter and we wanna gamble already!!!!!!!!!!
now if this is the Italian Mentality then I am HUGE FAN, and I would play with the strongest squad I have

 

[abejaa]

I prefer yours but it could be this too

----------Tiago------------
Poulsen-------------Marchisio
------------Diego--------

I never seen poulsen playing right midfielder!

we may not play 4-3-1-2 !!!!

 

[The Curr]

I never seen poulsen playing right midfielder!

we may not play 4-3-1-2 !!!!

It's where he played against Cisco and when he came on in the Berlusconi Trophy.

 

[abejaa]

Since Melo is suspended and Camo may not make it:

Buffon

Zebina - Canna**** - Chiellini - DC

Marchisio - Poulsen - Tiago

Diego

Amauri - Del Piero

very realistic. Just sali instead of DC....

Anyone know what Caceres is on leave for?
