I don't get the recent hype about Pepe here. All the matches he started he failed to beat his man. During the Milan match he couldn't get past Bonera ffs. He adds nothing offensively, really nothing. The guy is a below average player. When the shit starts where will players like Pepe be then?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Marchionni
During the 2007–2008 Serie A return season, his second with Juventus,
Marchionni suffered an injury filled season, keeping him off the pitch for most of the season. He only managed to start one game, but played a total of eleven league matches, scoring one goal.
During the pre-season to the 08-09 Serie A campaign, Marchionni was in excellent form playing in all of the friendly tournaments and matches. He will be hoping to stay in stunning form, and keep injury free for this season's Champions League, Serie A, and Coppa Italia with Juventus.
In the 08-09 Serie A campaign, he had been quickly introduced into the Juventus squad as the first choice winger Mauro Camoranesi was forced off the pitch due to injury problems. He handled this brilliantly with a handful of great performances, including the match against A.S. Roma where he scored a goal.

What hype? Who is hyping him? He is a good squad player. That isn't "hyping" someone. The guy does well when called upon. Everyone knows he isn't brilliant but beating the man is something he has done before but he has other qualities that make him useful and a nusance to play against.
He has outperformed the "hyped" Krasic so far this season.
