    OK guys, the first friendly match of the season is set to kick off in about 30 minutes I believe, and it will be against Valle d'Aosta. I can't wait to see what formation Lippi is going to use.

    Can someone please translate this:

    Nel giorno dell'80° anniversario dell'ingresso della sua famiglia nella Juventus, Umberto Agnelli non ha voluto mancare alla prima uscita della squadra di Lippi e si è presentato allo stadio Perucca di Saint Vincent. Il Dottore ha raggiunto la tribuna a metà del primo tempo, quando i bianconeri erano già in vantaggio per 3-0.

Al termine del primo tempo della sfida con i dilettanti del Valle d'Aosta, al Perucca di Saint Vincent, bianconeri avanti 5-0 con doppietta di Del Piero e reti di Davids, Trezeguet e Nedved. Nel giorno dell'80° anniversario dell'ingresso della sua famiglia nella Juventus, in tribuna c'è anche il Dottor Umberto.

    It says that on the day of the 80th anniversary since the introduction of the Agnelli family at the helm of Juve, Umberto Agnelli didn't want to miss the first game of the season.
