I think he's proud of himself for catching Udinese off guard with his 3-4-3, and he's trying to catch Messina off guard aswell. I don't really see how playing with 5 defenders is going to get us a goal within 36 seconds like last week, but.. he's the coach

Give Olivera another chance:
buffon
zebina thuram cannavaro zambrotta
Camoranesi Emerson Blasi
Olivera
Ibrahimovic Del Piero
Anyway, Trezeguet's injury might be a blessing in disguise. I prefer Ibra-Del Piero upfront anyway and with Trezeguet injured Capello doesn't have much choise to field otherwise.

I'm not 100% sure that he's injured but he didn't play in the game between ranks at training yesterday (the partitella as they call it) and on Wednesday he trained by himself. His omission from the squad for Saturday's game leaves me to believe that he's struggling with a slight injury, but I don't know for sure.
16 febbraio 2005 - Nedved ha tolto il tutore e stamattina ha corso e calciato senza problemi. Oltre al ceco hanno lavorato a parte anche Trezeguet e Emerson (che si è poi unito al gruppo) mentre non si sono visti Ibrahimovic e Camoranesi. Dopo una lunga seduta in palestra (tre quarti d'ora circa) i bianconeri sono scesi in campo senza Capello. In partitella hanno giocato Zebina, Thuram, Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Olivera, Emerson e Blasi da una parte con Birindelli, Ferrara, Montero, Pessotto, Tacchinardi, Appiah, Del Piero e Zalayeta dall'altra.
Nedved, Trezeguet and Emerson trained by themselves.
17 febbraio 2005 - Nedved ha lavorato a parte col pallone ma senza calciare; il ceco sembra risentire ancora della botta al ginocchio sinistro, stamattina soltanto corsa leggera e niente partitella. Mutu è rientrato dopo le due settimane in cui ha seguito un programma di disintossicazione dalla cocaina in una clinica inglese, si è allenato a parte con Ibrahimovic. Assente Trezeguet, in partitella Capello ha provato una difesa a 5 con Zebina, Thuram, Montero, Cannavaro, Zambrotta in difesa, Camoranesi, Emerson e Blasi a cantrocampo.
Basically says that Nedved is still struggling a little and isn't comfortable kicking the ball at full force yet. Trez didn't play in the game between ranks.

Actually, Trez has a fever:
Trez and Nedved sidelined

Leaders Juventus will face Messina on Saturday without both David Trezeguet and Pavel Nedved.
The pair have been omitted from the squad for the Week 25 clash, escalating fears that the Czech ace will also miss the Champions’ League game against Real Madrid on Tuesday.
"Trezeguet currently has a fever and he won’t travel to Messina, but we are optimistic that he will be fine for Madrid," stated boss Fabio Capello.
"Nedved hasn’t made it either and he is a doubt for Real. At this moment in time he won’t play, even if we might still take him to Spain to see whether to risk him for part of the game."
The midfielder has been on the sidelines with a knee injury since the victory over Brescia on January 23.
Although the Bernabeu clash is undoubtedly the club’s biggest game of the season so far, Capello wants his side to focus on one match at a time.
"Messina will be very difficult," he stated ahead of the Stadio San Filippo tie. "They are a side to be feared at home.
"We are now not thinking about Real because we can’t afford any mistakes if we want to maintain our Serie A leadership."
It is unclear at this stage what sort of side Capello will select tomorrow, but Alex Del Piero will probably partner Zlatan Ibrahimovic in attack.
The tactician is also likely to revert back to a 4-4-2, despite using a 3-4-3 against Udinese and testing a 5-3-2 in training this week.
Squad: Buffon, Ferrara, Tacchinardi, Montero, Pessotto, Emerson, Ibrahimovic, Del Piero, Chimenti, Birindelli, Camoranesi, Appiah, Zambrotta, Blasi, Thuram, Bonnefoi, Olivera, Zalayeta, Zebina, Cannavaro.
