better
Yes, a hell of a lot better.
But if Nedved leaves, which he might have to for a monetary purpose, then I think Maresca should be tried out in his place on the right.
I remember watching Juve play Arsenal in the second round of the Champions League back three years ago, when the game did not mean anything for Juve since they could not go through to the next round. I remember watching Maresca for the first time that day, and he totaly impressed me. Enzo was playing a right-sided attacking midfield role, and he was causing havoc for the Arsenal back line. He was dribbling around everybody; he almost even scored after dribbling past three players. And the score would have been more if there were better players than Guzman and Zalayeta up front. But I think Maresca could provide us with attacking flair on the right, like he did in that game.
