2nd Pessotto!!! we have to wait then for another 10 years of Balza serving this black and white jersey calmly and without the least of complaining before we can judge...
Well at the moment so far so good. And I juz make a prediction, not a judgement
Who knows what will happen then?

zlatan needs a break he will be ok for the milan game.
if emerson can hold midfield and control volpi and with flachi suspended the old partnership of dp and trez should be enough to give us 9 wins from 9 and set us up perfectly for milan.

trez has a good record against samp.

juve 2-0 samp

trez and Dp

any news on vieira s recovery will he be back for milan

Ibra rested for Sampdoria Tuesday 25 October, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus will have to beat Sampdoria on Wednesday night without the assistance of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Swede, widely considered as the club’s most important attacker, has been omitted from the squad ahead of Saturday’s clash at Milan.

Ibrahimovic picked up a minor leg injury at Lecce, but he should resume training on Thursday morning.

In his absence, Alessandro Del Piero and David Trezeguet are set to lead the line as the outfit look for a record ninth consecutive League win.

But boss Fabio Capello is remaining cautious given the ability of Walter Novellino’s side.

"I’ve played alongside Novellino in the past, he’s a good Coach and has done well where ever he has been," the tactician stated on Tuesday.

"They are without the suspended Francesco Flachi, who is an important player, but they have some good back-up options.

"The game could be similar to last year’s when they punished us on the counter-attack in the 1-0 win."

Capello has used the rotation system with success so far this term and expect a diverse Juve again at the Delle Alpi tomorrow night.

"I’m forced to make changes because we have a lot of games to play in the next 10 days," he added.

"Take Fabio Cannavaro for example, he needs a break and there will be room for everyone in the squad."

Lilian Thuram is thus expected to partner Robert Kovac in defence, while Manuele Blasi should replace the injured Patrick Vieira in midfield. Adrian Mutu may also fill in for Pavel Nedved on the wing.

Capello concluded by commenting on the fact that nine of his players are up for the Golden Ball.

But he was surprised that Gianluca Zambrotta and Alex Del Piero were not amongst them.

"I’m stunned that they’re not there because they have done well and are important players," he noted.

"At the end of the day though it is down to you journalists. Who should win it? I don’t look at the number of goals scored, I look at the overall player. Therefore, I’ll say Paolo Maldini."

Juventus probable: Abbiati; Zambrotta, Thuram, Kovac, Chiellini; Camoranesi, Blasi, Emerson, Mutu; Del Piero, Trezeguet.

according to the statements made, it will be a very different squad than the one we saw against lecce.

The thing that concerns me is center backs.We will see how will they do without the great Canavaro.

Also i would like to see a more defensive minded LB than Chiellini, he is good.But sampa are a very dangerous team.And i think Diana is going to be on the right and he is a very dangerous player on the flank.So if Giorgio was to play he should be given specific instructions abt limiting his runs forward.

I think its a very well balanced team, and we could take the fragile sampa defense easily....if the players kept their concentration i guess.

Don fabio is going to need to think really hard abt the tactic and the positioning of the players, as Novellino isnt an easy coach to beat tactically.

with the new defensive combinations am guessing we will concede i just hope we score first
2-1 juvee
forzaa juvee
