I kinda think so too because DP won't be under pressure if he plays in the Gala game because we've clinched qualification already, but if he screws up against Modena the critics will eat him alive.

Another point though is that Gala are a dangerous team to play against and since they still have a chance to qualify they will be giving their all, and we don't want Alessandro to risk another injury.

sallyinzaghi · Nov 17, 2003

oh wow, i totally forgot we have galatasaray. :embarass: yeap, dp should play the gala game, but I still think he should start against Modena too, but be substituted in the second half.

IceBlu · Nov 17, 2003

Yea, its not worth risking DP for the Gala game. In fact, i think even Nedved should be rested for the Gala game. Its too risky. Theres no point ... Even if we lose, its fine coz we can win the game at home vs Olympiakos and still top the group comfortably.

Having said that, i want our unbeaten run to continue - and its not worth losing it to Galatasaray of all the clubs.

So anyway, i think im getting ahead of myself. Back to the Modena game, heres my lineup

--------------------Buffon----------------------

Thuram-------Tudor------Legro------Zambro

Camo-----------Tacchinardi-----------Appiah

---------------------Nedved---------------------

---------Del Piero---------------Di Vaio--------

Ivy · Nov 17, 2003

Yes, but right now the most impt is that DP isn't at his best fitness. We could stand a loss for a match, but to loose DP to another injury in the Cl when were already through would be awfull.

Like you said, Gala are more dangerous and they will be giving their everything.

sallyinzaghi · Nov 17, 2003

good point... gala would go in for the kill and dp just might be afraid being getting injured again and play badly

but the game is stress-free for us so even if we lose its no big deal, DP still should start.

for the modena game i think DV should come in only on 2nd half and hopefully if we already have the lead i'd love to see some miccoli and maresca :greedy:

Good news in that Trezegol and Di Vaio both scored for their respective national teams during the weekend (Treze 2, Di Vaio 1), it would be like a breath of fresh air for them before engaging in club commitments yet again soon ..

But I came across a stupid comment from Totti (Azzurri captain after Cannavaro was subbed) - when he said that he would have preferred to have created an assist for 'his buddy' Cassano rather than for Di Vaio to score !! How lame is that, when playing for the national side, club colors and rivalry between clubs should be put aside and teammwork between all players should exist instead .. the Italian 'Goldenboy' should've known better ..

As I was reading the formations for the Modena match I noticed some have included Appiah in them .. I'm not sure if he would be in good physical shape as he already played in the Ghana-Somalia 5-0 win on Saturday (WC 2006 Africa Qualification match) and is expected to play again in Somalia on Wednesday before flying back to Italy ..

Yeah, that's stupid alright.

KB824 · Nov 17, 2003

Do you have a link to that comment?

I'm just wondering if it was a translation or if it was written in Italian, that way I can judge for myself.

Thank you.

Stu · Nov 17, 2003

Typical Totti :totti:

gray · Nov 17, 2003

What a complete wanker, imagine Alex saying something like that...no way. Even if Carsten Jancker found out that his parents were Italian and started playing for the Italian NT, Alex would be glad to give the guy assists, just to help out his country.

If Totti becomes the next NT captain after that kinda bullshit, it's gonna be a bloody outrage. What an utter tosser

:groan:

Gandalf · Nov 18, 2003

that's Totti.. That's how Roma players are.. f**king Bastards.. and some people blame me for HATING them.. :groan:

anyway.. back to the subject, I think we should play like this..

---------------------------Buffon
----------------Legro-------------Juliano
Thuram------------------------------------Zambro

----------------------Tacchi
------------------------------------Davids/Maresca

Camoranesi-------------------------------Nedved

---------------------------------Miccolli/DP
-------------------Trez/DV

I really like to see miccolli and DV start the match..
I hope we can manage to give a good match and get a good result out of it.. after all its Modena.. No Offence..I know we should not under-estimate our opponents but, we also should not over-estimate them..

sallyinzaghi · Nov 18, 2003

well for me, I consider ALEX as italy's golden boy. unfortunately trap doesnt think so eh? :groan:

i hope davids will play this time. i hope iuliano can play in this match , he did quite well against udinese.

Vinman · Nov 18, 2003

DV is in such good form right now, I'm afraid that overplaying him right now will get him hurt .....

MCPIERO · Nov 18, 2003

Yeah DV is on fire. His confidence is up and I will hope that Alex starts this game and DV could be rested. It depends if Ale plays badly then DV may come in to replace him. I wish Piero scores. Whatever the frontline Juve got it locked baby

Ez

sallyinzaghi · Nov 18, 2003

we're playing modena first, then only gala right? so i reckon we should go for dp-trez start and let dv come in second half. iuliano too should start

i dont know why im so eager to see him play.

Zizou · Nov 18, 2003

Of course it counts. Milan-Juve was played on Saturday because Milan had to play on Tuesday, so unless Modena have a CL match on Tuesday, then it's us who have the match on that day

Zizou · Nov 18, 2003

Wait a second, about Totti...I saw the match, and I saw the interview in which he said it. The interviewer told him "wouldn't you have preferred assisting you friend Cassano rather than DV to score that goal?". The journalist put the words into his mouth, Totti was actually shying when he said it.

sallyinzaghi · Nov 18, 2003

who cares, he shouldn't have said yes anyway

thanks glenn for the saturday-tuesday explanation, never knew that.
