Juve to remember boys
Monday 18 December, 2006
Juventus will face Bologna on Tuesday night with special shirts to honour the memory of the two youth players who died on Friday.
The club are currently in mourning after the loss of Alessio Ferramosca and goalkeeper Riccardo Neri, both aged 17, who drowned in a freak accident at the club’s training ground.
As a sign of respect to the pair, Juventus – who cancelled Friday’s game against Cesena – will face Bologna on Tuesday with shirts that will have the names of the boys on them.
“We will do all that we can as a club to help in the investigation,” stated Juventus President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli. “I’ve seen the pain that their families are going through.”
Juventus have endured a terrible year, one of the darkest in their history, but Cobolli Gigli put everything into perspective.
“Losing a Scudetto is nothing compared to this,” he stated. “To lose two boys at that age is a tragedy for their family and us.”

how you think will be our formation tomorow?
im hoping
buffon , zebina, kovac, boumsong, chiellini, camoranesi, marchisio, zanneti, palladinio, del piero , trezeguet ( altough i think trezeguet will start on the bench) ...
what do you think about birindeli? i hope he doesnt play altough it has never happened this year strangely enough... nothing against him but his perforamnces havent been so convincing in my opinion

Why wasn't De Ceglie called up?
DD said earlier that he almost wont start with trezeguet coz he isnt fit completely!!! so i guess he is gonna start with alex,zalayeta and palla in the place of neddy 
na i still think he will start trez just because its bologna were playing. either that or he'll start bojinov because as we all know zalayeta is coming off injury and isn't match fit.......
Press conference : Didier Deschamps
Deschamps was still visibly upset as he gave his pre-match press conference at the Olimpico this afternoon, following on from the team’s training session there ahead of tomorrow’s away trip to Bologna. The coach was asked whether the tragedy of Friday night has affected his side’s concentration: “Despite carrying out our preparations for the match - replied the Frenchman - it’s normal that we think of the grief the families of these two boys are going through; we’ve all been struck to the heart by this tragedy, these have been difficult days. In moments like this, football counts for very little”. The journalists then turned their attention to football, and the clash with Bologna: “In my opinion they are better than both Napoli and Genoa. Tomorrow’s game is certainly a real head-to-head, although I don’t know whether it will give us any concrete indications for the future; it will be more an evaluation of the form these two teams are in at the moment. Bologna are well-organised, they have experienced players capable of making a difference, they’re in good shape mentally and their results are there for all to see. It’s a team that’s confident in its own abilities and the fact there’s going to be a sell-out crowd tomorrow will give them an added boost. Bellucci is in great form, it’s not for nothing he’s the leading scorer in Serie B; we need to keep him under control throughout as he has good movement, an accurate shot and he’s very quick”. And how are Juventus from a physical point of view? “This weekend we did our best to work hard, despite everything that’s happened. Trezeguet is available, although he’s still not quite 100%, the same story as Friday night. Del Piero is in a better condition than him because he’s played at least half an hour. With the game called-off on Friday, Zebina has had more time than predicted to recover his strength”. And Chiellini, who was set to play at centre back on Friday? “Friday night’s choice was down to an ankle problem with Kovac, but it’s a valid solution never the less. Chiellini has the right qualities to be a centre back, even if he’s played more as a full back up until now. Having a left-footer at the back also helps when taking the ball out of defence”.
On the field for Alessio and Riccardo
On occasion of Juventus’ trip to Bologna, the Bianconeri have requested permission from the Lega Calcio to observe a minute’s silence before kick-off and to play the match wearing black armbands in memory of Alessio Ferramosca and Riccardo Neri, who tragically lost their lives last Friday. Before the game, the Juventus players will wear white shirts bearing the names of Alessio and Riccardo.

The lineup for the Cesena game was supposed to be: Buffon; Birindelli, Boumsong, Chiellini, Balzaretti; Camoranesi, Zanetti, Paro, Palladino; Zalayeta, Del Piero.
The reason for not playing Kovac was because he didn't speak Italian. :| That's almost as good as playing Kovac instead of Thuram because he passes the ball better to the strikers.
