i'd love to see legro score (currently hes my fav player) .. will dp start for the match, or will he be a substitute and will play later in the game?

i think its gonna be miccoli-trez! does that make sense...

Dp is gonna start. Lippi said so and he's in Gazzetta's probable line-up. This is the formation on their website:

Buffon
Thuram Legrottaglie Montero Zambrotta
Appiah Tacchinardi
Miccoli Nedved Del Piero
Trezeguet

My prediction: Juventus 4-1 Udinese
Scorers: Miccoli, Del Piero (penalty), Trezeguet, Trezeguet

Hmmm I think so too, but as I said before, I'd love to see:

Miccoli Nedved Del Piero
---------Di Vaio

:thumb:

good one but it lacks a finisher like trez.....a hitman. of course they all fine players but will it work being together?! i mean i remember the first match of the Seria A we played poorly the 1st half when miccoli teamed up with DP and Trez and when Camo came in the match just turned around. but hey it always good to try.

dont you think that di vaio was rather better of a hitman than trez recently?

no doubt about that ....i'm sayin that in term of positioning u'll always find trez up there where a striker should be and that could be usefull instead of 3 players with simillar style( DP, DiVaio, and Miccoli) they all try to drop back to the midfeild, get the ball and make their way through.

Yes but they are not robots you know....

If you say to divaio to play as a striker.. he will do it.. and stay in the "Trez" zone.

i think fantasista's formation is the best. DV needs to be rested... and.. Miccoli~

@Fahad: Did Legro and Zambro train in the gym because they aren't fit or is that a normal thing? Will Montero be available on Sunday?

Birthday boy Del Piero raring to go
Friday 7 November, 2003

Alessandro Del Piero admits he is chomping at the bit to make his comeback and celebrate his 29th birthday in style.

“I simply cannot wait until Sunday,” he told his official website. “I am continuing to train and prepare myself, but wait impatiently for November 9.”

The date of his return to the playing field is a particularly apt coincidence, as he will celebrate his birthday during the match with Udinese.

The Juventus captain has been out of action since tearing a calf muscle during the 2-2 draw with Roma on September 20, but the team has done well in his absence and this week qualified for the second round of the Champions’ League.

“My teammates brought back a wonderful souvenir from San Sebastian,” he noted of their crucial 0-0 draw with Real Sociedad.

“Now we must take advantage of this secure spot and concentrate on the Serie A Championship.”

Marcello Lippi also confirmed that Del Piero is ready to step back on to the field during Sunday’s encounter.

“He is fit for selection,” revealed the Coach. “His return gives this already confident group another boost.”

However, Del Piero will not be picked for the November international friendly games against Poland and the Czech Republic.

This is a tough one........remember last season it was 1-0 (89-minute goal from salas at delle alpi and 0-1(Trez winner in Udine).

Benjamin - the young Primavera star - joined the complete training session through orders from Lippi

Btw cos I haven't checked lately, how is Benjamin doing in the youth team? Last I checked he scored 7 goals in his first 3 games.

Really impressive.

 

[Zizou]

As of October 21st, Benjamin had 10 goals and had scored in every game he played up to that point.


He didn't score in the derby against Torino, but Juve won 2-1.



Why on earth is Fresi on the Primavera squad??

Isn't he 30??

 

[Zizou]

Wow 10 goals!

Well it's the only way we can play Fresi

 

[KB824]

Yeah, but he's 30 years old.


If there's no place for him on this team, why bother with him at all?

BRILLIANT ! best news so far. I would love to see him play finally. Maybe he could explode onto the scene in the Champions League (but i dont think thats gonna happen, since the 2nd stage is a knockout.

 

[KB824]

Yeah, but Ice, they still have two more matches in this stage.

What kind of message do you think that will send Oliveira and Zala-sitta-on-the-bench??

Let me guess, you're on borrowed time here, Boys??

All players are expected to be fit for Sunday .. Legro and Zambro are expected to train with the whole squad tomorrow I guess, and take part later in the Sunday match .. it's just a precaution because Zambro's knee needs to be rested
