Del Neri: 'Aquilani must wait' Saturday 18 September, 2010
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gigi Del Neri drops Alberto Aquilani for the trip to Udinese and assures “what Juventus have done so far isn’t worth throwing away.”
The Bianconeri have picked up just one point from their last three games in all competition, including consecutive 3-3 draws against Sampdoria and Lech Poznan.
“What Juventus have done so far isn’t worth just throwing away. Things are happening to us, but they are fixable,” said the Coach.
“In football there is no such thing as a game without errors. When we are a little luckier and concede fewer goals, then it’ll all pan out. I don’t have a crystal ball to tell you how long that will take.
“At this moment the table counts for nothing, just as the fact Udinese don’t have a point yet is irrelevant. We have done positive things, like fighting back to get a result.”
Paolo De Ceglie joined the injury list for two weeks with a thigh problem, though Amauri is back.
“Udinese played very well against Inter, so it’ll be a tough game, but which fixture isn’t tough in Serie A? Amauri is available along with all the other forwards.
“Aquilani? We will play with Felipe Melo and Claudio Marchisio tomorrow, as at this moment they are the most suitable midfield pairing.
“I doubt we’ll see Giorgio Chiellini at left-back, as he is so reliable in the centre and it’s not the right time to jumble everything up again. Leonardo Rinaudo played at right-back a few times for Palermo, but he’s no Douglas Maicon, so he won’t put in 10 crosses per game.
“I have faith in Marco Motta, who always has a tough opponent to deal with, as last time he had Antonio Cassano and tomorrow it’s Antonio Di Natale or Alexis Sanchez.”
Di Natale had been on the verge of a transfer to Juventus in the summer, but turned it down to see out his career in Udine.
“There is an excellent rapport with Antonio,” added Del Neri. “He made his lifestyle choice, as he is well loved in Udine and has put down roots there. We must respect it, but he did not ‘reject’ Juventus so much as reaffirm his commitment to Udinese.”
