I saw the match and for those that asked questions, here's the answers
- Thuram will join Juve in August in the USA (he's the only one that played the Confederation Cup from the Juve players).
- Tudor is having an individual training at the moment and not with the team. As usual some muscle problems.
- The match was obviously easy going and it was mainly a parade of the old stars, and a presentation of the new players.
- It’s difficult to say who the best players were since there were 2 teams at each half so I`ll just talk about the new ones
- Legrottaglie played in the first half and wasn’t troubled much, though whenever he had to make a challenge or start a move from defence, he always looks calm and in control.
- Maresca was the director just in front of the defence line. What I liked most about him is the confidence, cos he was always asking and gesturing to his team mates to pass him the ball, as if he was a veteran of the team. Good job.
- Appiah might not have Davids aggressiveness, but he surely doesn’t let anyone pass by him without a fight (in a good way). He even has a very nice shot and went close to scoring a really nice goal from outside the box.
- Miccoli has become the fan’s favourite. Whenever he touched the ball, all the fans would applaud and shout his name, and whenever he did a nice move (which he did often enough), the crowd would ‘aww’ at him. In fact the loudest ‘goal’ was when he scored, as everyone seemed to be waiting for that moment. Great assists, and an amazing shot; in fact from wherever he shot, he would always find the goal, and if it wasn`t for a couple of good keeper saves, he might have scored more. Btw he was very un-egoistic at one point, when he was in front of the keeper and could have scored his first Juve goal, but instead passed it to Conte who tapped it in. He’s gonna be our star player
- Olivera scored a nice well taken strong shot goal and moved quite well. Hopefully his move to Empoli will make him a better player.
- Special mention to DV who scored 4 goals from 5 shots. He’s on fire
We don't need a new striker as a backup for Trez

Of course it wasn't a serious match but it's still nice to see that the team is playing well.
