Our biggest problem was that for most of the match we failed to adapt to Lazio's pace...not only that, we freely allowed them to dictate the tempo for 80% of the game and were forced to release the ball much earlier than intended alot of the time, resulting in mediocre passes.

I was particularly pissed at Thuram and Zlatan, the former giving the goal away with an amateurish mistake, deciding to outfox two opponents barely 10 yards away from goal. Zlatan gave the ball away far too often and his passing was horrific, not to mention those incessant and unneccesary fouls that impeded our play.

That said it was a pretty foul-tempered match and there were niggling fouls on both teams every few minutes that in a way prevented us from taking the match by the scruff of the neck as the Lazio defence coped very well with the long balls we dished out from the resulting freekicks.

Personally I thought it was a fair result, not too upset about getting only a point but more about the performance and not deserving more.

Capello rues errors in Rome Saturday 17 December, 2005

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

Fabio Capello concedes that Juventus made costly mistakes in the capital, while Lazio are celebrating this impressive result.

“We played against a good team that were very aggressive and showed great intensity, especially in the opening 20 minutes,” pointed out Capello after tonight’s 1-1 draw.


“We didn’t make the most of some of our chances and Lazio punished us for that. Had we gone into the lead, then perhaps the game would’ve been different, but we certainly gave the Biancocelesti a helping hand. We gave away an incredible goal.”


Lilian Thuram was caught in possession at the byline and Tommaso Rocchi took advantage to fire in from eight yards. David Trezeguet put the final touch on a looping Pavel Nedved header to equalise.


“Trezeguet and Zlatan Ibrahimovic worked well together, so the fact there weren’t more goals is down to Angelo Peruzzi’s fine saves.”


It was a particularly tense and fiery encounter with over 50 fouls and Lazio midfielder Valon Behrami stretchered off. Initial reports suggest a sprained right knee with possible ligament damage, but further tests are underway in hospital.


“We kept the tempo high and put Juve’s creative centres under pressure,” explained Biancocelesti boss Delio Rossi. “With a bit more luck we would’ve won, but these lads deserve credit for a wonderful performance. I honestly thought we’d have more trouble tonight.”


Meanwhile, all eyes were on Paolo Di Canio after last week’s Roman salute to the far-right Lazio fans. The veteran repeated the gesture when he left the field to be substituted by Goran Pandev, but then turned it into a wave to stave off accusations of bringing politics into football.


“I do not consider his actions to be racist and, without wanting to justify his gesture, I don’t want this club and its fans to be considered political extremists or racists,” added the Coach.

Zlatan was poor in the first half, his second half was much better. Did you watch the match?
Yes, I've watched the match, Zlatan's over all first half as I remember was better than his over all second half. Zlatan totally disapeared in the last 15 min of the match. He did give trezeguet an amazing pass over the deffenders head though.
And in my opinion, Zlatan was not poor. He seemed tired. He played an ok game the midfield was not supporting very much.

And he 's repeating that from game to game.:sick:
it is really sick, my brother had teped the highlights for me from italian Tv, and I saw the Lazio President defending Di Canio :shocked: . and there was another idiot who compared this story with the story of suspending Iran from World cup. he said blatter says that sport has nothing to do with politic and this is the same story with di canio. I just can not belive this.
this is not normal and it is very bad for the image of serie A

Somebody must stop this
