What is wrong with you guys saying that we don`t deserve to win, our midfield sucks and even some of you says Fvck Capello fvck Juve
You can`t call yourself a supporter if you praises the team if they win, and claiming that they suck if they loose. Why are u saying those things? Sure if Juve win the scudetto or the cup or anything I will celebrate but I don`t say that my team sucks just because they don`t win. If you do that isn`t you a real supporter, you are a glory hunter. You don`t care about the team the only thing that means something is winning. But don`t get me wrong the best thing is to win, but loosing isn`t the end of the world you can be sad and you can even cry but if you love the team then don`t say they suck.
They won`t suck to U as long as you love the team and the way they play......

In comparison with the first leg, this time at the Olimpico Juventus must be different. The Bianconeri played a two-face match in December: little concentrated in the first half and aggressive in the second, Capello’s squad successfully reacted after Pandev’s goal and had a precious comeback thanks to goals by Olivera and Ibrahimovic.
However, this time Juventus must be themselves, that is to say determined to win, from the very beginning of the match. Lazio have changed their manager and most of all their attitude. Papadopulo’s arrival has given the Biancocelesti new enthusiasm, which had its climax in winning the derby, and more accuracy in defence, making Lazio redoubtable opponents again.
In the matches played so far in Rome, there’s balance between Juventus and the Biancocelesti: the home side won 24 out of the 61 matches, compared to the 22 for the Bianconeri, who met some difficulties at the Olimpico, especially in the last few years. However, this time seems to be the right time to change the course.

David Trezeguet denies the declarations he was attributed: “Concerning the declarations appeared on the Sun and reported by press agencies and Italian newspapers, I deny I have ever talked to the newspaper at issue and therefore that I have ever released any declaration where I affirm I want to play for Arsenal. I’m at Juventus and I want to stay at Juventus.”
Fabio Capello has urged the Bianconeri to use their anger at the series of setbacks that have befallen them in order to beat Lazio tonight.
“We will take on this match with the right spirit,” said the Juventus Coach. “Lazio are not an easy customer by any means, so we have to make the most of our anger and drive. Without that, you won’t get very far.”
Juve’s three-point lead at the top of the table lasted just three days and the team is decimated for the trip to Rome. Emerson, David Trezeguet, Jonathan Zebina, Ciro Ferrara and Paolo Montero are injured, while Stephen Appiah and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are suspended.
“We will appeal against the three-match ban and I am confident of having Ibrahimovic back for the Milan game. In any case, we have done well without Zlatan in the past and will be fine now.”
As both Alessandro Birindelli and Gianluca Pessotto are struggling with muscular problems, we could see a new face in the line-up.
“I have not yet decided whether or not to field youth team player Masiello from the start,” revealed Capello. “He did well for a period against Inter and is confident of his own abilities. We will evaluate everyone’s fitness on the day and it’s a shame that Emerson’s hip problem is persistently troubling him.”
Gianluigi Buffon has not been on his usual form of late, though Capello stood by the World’s Number One goalkeeper.
“Gigi is a great ‘keeper who makes very few mistakes and is his own harshest critic. It is only normal that he always feels he can do better, as he is accustomed to performing the impossible.”
