However disappointing that 'Pool game was (oh god I still have the "if only"s in my head); I think winning the Serie A is a good step to prepare for Europe next season.

We'll trash Europe next season. I am sure of it!

This is exactly how a coach can become so overrated,
How we can possibily be sure Deschamps and Cesare Prandelli and even lippi wouldnt have won this championship with the same players?
We can only speak about Mancini and Ancelotti,
that they are inferior to cap, as cap is to benitez?

Thank u Capello, the best coach of italy!!

I believe he will do even better next year,
he now knows the team's weakneses and advantages from the inside,i believe he further knows the players and know how to boost them up and keep the concentrated, when its needed(not like the lazy and lousy pool game)
he has the time to improove our flaws and work without the title stress, wich got him here and focus on CL,
i really hope the managers will be convinced to support him
and further strengthen our team under his suggestions,
on the transfer period making the necessary replacements,
without overestimate the teams pottential,
as they did 2years ago.
Since it was prooved this year, its not up to us to win the championship, but its up to the rest to loose it.

I dont mean to take anything away from Capello. But i do believe a coach is only as good as his team. And i dont have any doubts that with a team Capello had this season, we were bound to do better than the third place we secured in Lippi's last season with us. A dramatic turnaround, if one can even call it that, has according to me been because of arrivals like Cannavaro, Emerson, Zlatan and maybe even Zebina. Sure Capello, deserves credit for getting the job done at the end of the day. But i dont think one could go terribly wrong with the starting eleven we had at our disposal. Even given the spate of injuries, I'd have to say it was more about team mentality than tactics that saw us through.

Capello smells more success Monday 23 May, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus boss Fabio Capello is already looking to the future just days after his side lifted Lo Scudetto.

The Bianconeri won their 28th title on Friday night, thus edging closer to their third star, but the tactician seems to be already plotting his next triumph.

"We’ve won the title but we must now look to the future because our objectives are clear," he told Radio Anch'io Lo Sport on Monday.

"Will I be here next season? I still have two years left on my current contract."

Capello has undoubtedly been a key figure in the championship win but he’s keen to share out the praise.

"It was a group victory," he outlined. "I also want to applaud those men with ‘smaller names’ who always gave their contribution."

The tactician was making reference to the likes of Marcelo Zalayeta and Ruben Oliveira, yet he also praised Alex Del Piero – an individual he regularly replaced during the campaign.

"He was a decisive player for us but there are times when a Coach must have the courage to make certain decisions," he added.

The Old Lady of Italian football were particularly strong defensively, a factor that the former Milan and Roma boss wanted to highlight.

"I had evaluated the problems that the defence encountered last term before I arrived," he continued.

"That’s why I asked the club for reinforcements. I think reforming the Parma trio of Buffon, Thuram and Cannavaro was the correct decision."

Juventus, who led the standings from the first day of the season, basically clinched the title with victory at Milan but Don Fabio rates another game as decisive.

"The win in Rome against Lazio was key," he added. "Milan had caught up with us but we didn’t give up.

"I’m also proud of what the club have done, especially with the signing of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. There will be no important departures in the summer either and that includes David Trezeguet."

Its always hard to intergrate new players, so that I must praise Capello for.

If we say Capello have the better team than last year, perhaps it is so. But remember that Capello chose to bring Zlatan in and insisted we get Canna.
Would Lippi have made the same transfers?

Remember our team 2 years ago?
We had a strong team, a team which probably only lost the CL finals because we were without Nedved. And remember our transfers after that season? We brought in Miccoli, Appiah, and Legrotaglie...three very prospective players at the time.
He didn't manage to fully intergrate the players.
Infact, perhaps if Lippi had THIS team, he might have regularly benched Zlatan and we would not have won anything. May be if Capello was coaching last year Di Vaio might have been our main striker and valued at more than 25million euros (considering his form before Lippi benched him).

I know Im saying a lot of IFs but you cant just say IF Lippi coached then it'd be the same result either. I dont think a coach is as good as his team rather a combination of both create success. With that in mind I just want to say both Lippi and Capello are great coaches and I dont rate one above the other unless its in terms of contribution to Juventus which ofcourse Lippi would be way ahead.

Ill admit that Lippi was definitely more stubborn in his choices. And his favouritism to Del Piero was simply pathetic. Having said that, i think he was in the Juve mould of things, of going for the more underrated sort of players, rather than Capello, who imo goes for the more obvious choices, in terms of big names, as seen in the acquisitions of Canna, Emerson and Zlatan. Not that there's anything wrong with doing that, but it speaks more for his choices than it does for his abilities as a coach. I absolutely love the fact that he is our coach at the moment, and he gets the team to perform because thats all that matters. But if you look at his record, he's won trophies with teams like Milan, Madrid and Juventus. That isnt exactly the hardest thing to do. The omission from that list is Roma, and at the five years he was there, he had Batistuta, Totti, Del Vecchio and the like - the year they won the title, but really thats all he has to show for it. When that, in all honesty, was his true test.

-Do u think capello paid from his pocket money, for the transfers of cannavaro,emerson and zlatan?
Do u think lippi wouldnt want better players for our team if the managers had the money or even the lucky chance to get them?

-How can their efforts and tries can be only caps worth?
what would cap do if we didnt have the money to pay for canna,emo and zlatan?U think he would do better with emo and iuliano/ferrara in the center of our def, blasi and appiah in the midl and injured treze,old DP and a low class zalayeta?

It was some players time, not necesaraly the coaches time,
even Deshamps and prad could do better with the new players,
it doesnt mean they are better than lippi,
they would be better than lippi if they were doing better in CL since they have better players than lippi had.

-How do u know cap would have choosen DV to be our number one striker?
He did the same with montella?
Cap prefers tall and powerfull players like delvechio,zlatan and carew.


The end of lippi era:
I believe juve was backed in the wall, after a hard season with many faillures and they decided then, as they always do when its absolutely necesary to bring in some bigger names than they usualy do, to strenghen our team and help us escape the temporarily crisis
+the fact our team was tired after 2very succesfull years and many players age.
It wasnt lippi's fault, he prooved so many times what he can do with the right material in his hands,
but as a great man of honour he took a part of the responsebility on him,
an act that cause him, his seat,
maybe he was tired too from the competition,pressure and the crisis didnt helped.
He left,
a new era started and the managers signed some big names to ensure things will go better.
We sould respect lippi's work and try NOT
to reduce it to zero just to praise a yesterday enemy, today hero, with God powers.
Dont create great expectations, cause if we dont invest again there arent going to be met.

Time will be the ultimate judge,
lippi did great without great investment in the team,
i hope cap will do the same
and most af all i hope the managers will invest more to the team and bring him the tools with the great job he did, does and will do,
to obtain the results we all wish and wait.
But if we start again with the Legrot types of players,
dont hope too much.
If lippi didnt make it, noone can!
Not even capello, there is a small dif between lippi and cap
but there is a big fif between legro's and canna's

ofcourse not, I was saying that IF lippi was still in charge WOULD he have brought along Emerson and Zlatan in our team? Just merely giving a point to baggio and yourself that u cant just rate that any coach would have done good with our team when the coaches are also responsible for actually creating a team in some respects.

I fail to see ur point about money, coz Lippi had the same amount at his disposal and I dont see why its relavant with what we are talking about

It was some players time, not necesaraly the coaches time,

Cap prefers tall and powerfull players like delvechio,zlatan and carew.
Again my point was that the coaches pick who to bring in, so the thing about comparing the team of 2002/2003 and 22004/2005 cannot be without acknowledgeing that the coaches created them by picking the new players.
And about Di Vaio, I was saying that Lippi also made mistakes, like benching Di Vaio when he was REDHOT, and for who? for an average perhaps poor Del Piero (at the time). This leads to the case that Lippi even if he had brought a new striker would not have put him ahead of Del Piero no matter how good he was playing.

The end of lippi era:
I believe juve was backed in the wall, after a hard season with many faillures and they decided then, as they always do when its absolutely necesary to bring in some bigger names than they usualy do, to strenghen our team and help us escape the temporarily crisis

Nobody is trying to reduce Lippi to zero or take anything away from his accomplishments, in fact I said Lippi has contribute more to Juventus than Capello ever will. Considering that Capello is strictly proffesional and probably leave at the end of his contract.

I just was disappointed that with the scudetto people are still not acknowledging the impact he has on the team.

Lippi's era ended because he was too long at the helm, his personal opinions interferred with logics, hence Del Piero's long run in the first team when his performances didnt merit it. If he were a better coach he would have stuck with Di Vaio as his performances were better for the team than DP's. Thats why Capello has been successful, he has played the players who deserve to play regard
He was great but like all things, too long time leading a team is not very good, you need something fresh to work on, and Lippi was here for a long time, now its time for this great coach to take on other challanges. New is also good for the team.

Time will be the ultimate judge,
lippi did great without great investment in the team,
i hope cap will do the same
and most af all i hope the managers will invest more to the team and bring him the tools with the great job he did, does and will do,

but there is a big fif between legro's and canna's
Lippi had a lot of investment on the team too, what do you call buying Buffon, Thuram, Nedved.
You are comparing legro and canna right now, but if you had compared Legrotaglie of season 2002/2003 and canna of 2003/2004, many would have picked Legrotaglie, he was the Barzagli of today.
I am pointing this out just to say that u cant merely point that "ofcourse cap was success ful coz he had Canna, Lipi had Legro" While at the time of purchase of both, Legro was more potential and safe to sign than Canna. Canna was playing bad at Inter and many labelled him past it.
Just remember that the coaches have a huge vote on who to buy, that includes the purchases of Appiah, legro and Miccoli, which were all great buys but never manage to integrate in the team.
As for Miccoli, i think he would have been good with us but he wasnt given enough opportunities, and if Zlatan were treated the same way I dont think he would have been as influential.

buying big name players is one thing, but moulding them into a team is another. thats why capello is so good. he has his own system, whoever doesnt fit goes on the bench, whoever trains hard starts, whoever shows loyalty starts, etc. u can just thank they people who buy players ( coz then inter would be thanking moratti :D). ofcourse not all praise should go to capello, but he was the main difference.

I agree with u here that the coaches are responsible for creating a team and they have a large role on piching up the players,
but i dont believe we could compete with inter two years ago and buy canna (one of the best defenders of the world, the second best italian), the point that he underperformed in inter is pointless, EVERYBODY underperformed in inter, the purhage of cannavaro secured our teams defence only by his name, if moggi could do it 2years ago, i m sure lippi would have accepted canna very pleased, i dont believe there was a serius coach in europe that would have choosen legro instead of canna.
I dont believe we had the chance to buy emerson from roma two years ago, as they were still competitive and wouldnt gave him away that easy, neither we could find with the money we bought maresca someone else worldclass player like emo.

Its absolutely relevant, we never had the money, to buy great players,it doesnt means we didnt had the need too, i dont believe lippi wouldnt be pleased to buy 3world class players, one for every line, instead of 3talents.
Real Madrid is willing to spend 120mil this year, if they do better than this year, then it means that luxe did a wonderfull job?

This leads to the case that Lippi even if he had brought a new striker would not have put him ahead of Del Piero no matter how good he was playing.

Lippi wasnt responsible for the departures of DV,maresca,miccolli,
juve had two stars on the attack, the faith on DP wasnt only lippi's fault, but it was the clubs policy, also lippi believed in DP cause he saw what he could do at his best days, lippi's heart is juventino, it will always be, he understand the people who love their symbol, he benched DP and many other young players to make them prooves they arent subbs but starters,
DV failed to be much better than DP, IMO, but DV was overall a better choice than DP many times, i was mad on lippi,he was wrong here, but his actions had some motives.Since the club intented to keep DP, DV sould proove he is as good as DP potential.Same goes for maresca and miccolli, the club had great expectations from them, they were good enough, but not world class, juve can find talents every year and juve is a club that risks and bring in new talents,if micolli and maresca prooved to be world class, as zidane,Dp ands davids prooved when they came, they wouldnt have left and not for fiorentina.its not lippi's fault they failed to be world class,noone can see the future and know how a player may develop,
they were promissing and good enough for us, in our eyes, but trust moggi knows more,anyway it wasnt lippi's choise that they left, he might had plans with them, esp if he is the one responsible to get them in the first place.

Capello is a coach wich prefers a strong,tall forward as a target man,
he was also wrong for benching delvecchio instead of montella, far greater mistake and difference for me, than the DV-DP mistake.(i never believed Delv had more talent than montella,but if DP managed to find his form back, then he would be better than DV)
On the other hand, the totti-cassano admirer probably hater of DP, always doubt his potential(a natural thing since his players were the direct opponents of him and DP was the symbol of traditional enemy)
Great Avocato isnt here to dictate DP sould be a starter anyway
and DP didnt had a title on his back when capello arrived.
So capello had the right to choose and the power to bench DP.
He would anyway choose a tall zlatan-delvecchio type of player istead of a montella-DP type of player,
thank God zlatan althought tall, is a very technician player and with more talent and potential than both DV and delvecchio.

Ancelotti had much more time with milan,wenger and ferguson too,
big teams who want stability and dont like to be like inter, need to trust their coaches and keep them a long period of time for the good of the team,
because if a new coach comes every 3 years untill he will build something and start to make the necesary replacements,then another will come, with a new conception and he will choose to make other changes and then another and another, finally noone will never manage to create the team which has in his mind,
cause u cant change eleven players in a year,(unless if u have chelsea's or real's money, barca,milan and inter to follow)
Lippi loved our team, capello is a mercenary, traditionally enemy of juve,
he came in because he needed one more title for his trophies collection,
he will not hesitate to leave juve for Real next year if he prooves his name with another scud or even CL tittle, without careing what will happen to juve after this,i want to see u then to be around here, saying he is the best coach juve had last years.

Lippi had a lot of investment on the team too, what do you call buying Buffon, Thuram, Nedved.
You are comparing legro and canna right now, but if you had compared Legrotaglie of season 2002/2003 and canna of 2003/2004, many would have picked Legrotaglie, he was the Barzagli of today.

As for Miccoli, i think he would have been good with us but he wasnt given enough opportunities, and if Zlatan were treated the same way I dont think he would have been as influential.
Buffon, Thuram, Nedved was more of a swap for zidane,
but considering their age and the need of the team, u can call it the biggest investment juve did the last years,
only canna,emo and zlatan can compare with that but cant match it.
As i said earlier back then and now the team was in crisis,
big names were needed to come in and insure the future of team and the end of crisis, i consider it a normal thing to happen and i dont believe the coach is the one responsible for this, but the managers, the coach doesnt pay the bills, he cant decide when big transfers will take part,
if it was by his hand, he would probably ask the same every year, as capello did to roma, most of the teams cant handle this, neither juve can,
so indiferent the current coach, juve will never spend big every year, (unless our resources grow).
We did the changes as a club, because it was absolutely necesary the time being.
The team got stronger back then with those names as the team got stronger now too.The succes was a naturaly thing to come, with a great coach like lippi or capello or however of their level.
With ur point of view it was lippi's win, mine's dont.
As it isnt cap's now.
I believe, the win with big names is overrated,
try to do with Greece what Great Otto did,
with porto what Jose did,
try to beat juve with Pools material,
Real+milan with juve's material,
then u r a coach.
Ofcourse even if u have great material its some times very dif. to manage it
and cap is in the top5 of the world on this,
he can be a winner when he have the better material,
he prooved this(putting aside liverpool), even if this material are as problematic as totti and cassano might be,
but its not the case with juve,we most of the times luck the better material in our direct adversaries,we need someone who can do the dif with less material, this is a great chalenge,i hope cap will make it,
lippi did, cap is in a good way, but he didnt prooved that to me yet,
we hired him for a purpose(CL final tittle), i hope he will make it,
i m sure mistakes like the one with liverpool wont happen next year,
it was just because of the coach change(thats why i m against it),
lippi new our players cant beat an English team on the air,
why? because he tried that and failed, cap didnt, he now knows,
if he leave us a couple of years later, then deshamps might have to learn that too, got my point?


On the other hand about the big transfers;
i dont know if lippi choosed then, but who ever choosed, choosed very wise,
because those changes manage to keep us on top for many years,
the choises done know wont,
we need aditional big changes the year to come,
if this is ur way to judge a coach, then cap looses again!
Juve doesnt make additional big changes every year,
if capello manage to be in the CL final, win2 champiponships in3years,
with the same transfer policy juve had on lippi era,
then he can be compared with lippi.

like I said before, Cannavaro didnt play well at inter, who knew that his best would come back? so u cant directly compare legro and canna, coz back then many saw legro with the potential to replace aging defenders like canna.

Real Madrid is willing to spend 120mil this year, if they do better than this year, then it means that luxe did a wonderfull job?
I meant its not relevant in comparing Capello to Lippi coz they both had about the same amount at Juve

Lippi wasnt responsible for the departures of DV,maresca,miccolli,
juve had two stars on the attack, the faith on DP wasnt only lippi's fault, but it was the clubs policy, also lippi believed in DP cause he saw what he could do at his best days, lippi's heart is juventino, it will always be, he understand the people who love their symbol, he benched DP and many other young players to make them prooves they arent subbs but starters,
DV failed to be much better than DP, IMO, but DV was overall a better choice than DP many times, i was mad on lippi,he was wrong here, but his actions had some motives.Since the club intented to keep DP, DV sould proove he is as good as DP potential.Same goes for maresca and miccolli, the club had great expectations from them, they were good enough, but not world class, juve can find talents every year and juve is a club that risks and bring in new talents,if micolli and maresca prooved to be world class, as zidane,Dp ands davids prooved when they came, they wouldnt have left and not for fiorentina.its not lippi's fault they failed to be world class,noone can see the future and know how a player may develop,
they were promissing and good enough for us, in our eyes, but trust moggi knows more,anyway it wasnt lippi's choise that they left, he might had plans with them, esp if he is the one responsible to get them in the first place.
I never said Lippi was responsible for the departures but he played a part in taking away their opportunity to become better players. DP zidane and davids all were given enough opportunities under Lippi.
To make an analogy u can imagine what would happen to DP if Lippi decided to play Baggio eventhough lets say he was playing poorly for a few seasons, would DP be the man he is? It takes talent, determination and opportunity to become great players.

Capello is a coach wich prefers a strong,tall forward as a target man,
he was also wrong for benching delvecchio instead of montella, far greater mistake and difference for me, than the DV-DP mistake.(i never believed Delv had more talent than montella,but if DP managed to find his form back, then he would be better than DV)
On the other hand, the totti-cassano admirer probably hater of DP, always doubt his potential(a natural thing since his players were the direct opponents of him and DP was the symbol of traditional enemy)
Great Avocato isnt here to dictate DP sould be a starter anyway
and DP didnt had a title on his back when capello arrived.
So capello had the right to choose and the power to bench DP.
He would anyway choose a tall zlatan-delvecchio type of player istead of a montella-DP type of player,
thank God zlatan althought tall, is a very technician player and with more talent and potential than both DV and delvecchio.
I dont get the totti cassano lovers and DP haters. To me there is nothing wrong with having preferences for the team u coach.It may be bias but its a strategy, and a clear one. Better than benching an onform striker for an out of form star, here there is no indication of preference of strategy.

Ancelotti had much more time with milan,wenger and ferguson too,
big teams who want stability and dont like to be like inter, need to trust their coaches and keep them a long period of time for the good of the team,
because if a new coach comes every 3 years untill he will build something and start to make the necesary replacements,then another will come, with a new conception and he will choose to make other changes and then another and another, finally noone will never manage to create the team which has in his mind,
cause u cant change eleven players in a year,(unless if u have chelsea's or real's money, barca,milan and inter to follow)
Lippi loved our team, capello is a mercenary, traditionally enemy of juve,
he came in because he needed one more title for his trophies collection,
he will not hesitate to leave juve for Real next year if he prooves his name with another scud or even CL tittle, without careing what will happen to juve after this,i want to see u then to be around here, saying he is the best coach juve had last years.
I said its not too good to have a coach lead a team for too long of a time, because thenu tend to get complacent with your own team. Thats when a new atmosphere is best, like re generation.

When Capello leaves I will be here, you can even PM me, because I see you did not read my posts, from the very first one I have said Lippi has contributed more to Juve than Capello ever will My arguments were not to prove that Capello is better for Juve, rather that Capello is as good (as a coach) as Lippi. talking about coaching abilities rather than their contribution for Juve.

Buffon, Thuram, Nedved was more of a swap for zidane,
Like Zlatan, Emerson for Miccoli, Chiellini, Maresca, Di Viao. Theres no difference, Juve never was a club with BIG money out of nowhere, it has always been profit through our transfer policy and organization.
A real swap is Cannavaro for Carini :D.

but considering their age and the need of the team, u can call it the biggest investment juve did the last years,
only canna,emo and zlatan can compare with that but cant match it.
As i said earlier back then and now the team was in crisis,
big names were needed to come in and insure the future of team and the end of crisis, i consider it a normal thing to happen and i dont believe the coach is the one responsible for this, but the managers, the coach doesnt pay the bills, he cant decide when big transfers will take part,
if it was by his hand, he would probably ask the same every year, as capello did to roma, most of the teams cant handle this, neither juve can,
so indiferent the current coach, juve will never spend big every year, (unless our resources grow).
We did the changes as a club, because it was absolutely necesary the time being.
The team got stronger back then with those names as the team got stronger now too.The succes was a naturaly thing to come, with a great coach like lippi or capello or however of their level.
With ur point of view it was lippi's win, mine's dont.
As it isnt cap's now.
I believe, the win with big names is overrated,
try to do with Greece what Great Otto did,
with porto what Jose did,
try to beat juve with Pools material,
Real+milan with juve's material,
then u r a coach.
Ofcourse even if u have great material its some times very dif. to manage it
and cap is in the top5 of the world on this,
he can be a winner when he have the better material,
he prooved this(putting aside liverpool), even if this material are as problematic as totti and cassano might be,
but its not the case with juve,we most of the times luck the better material in our direct adversaries,we need someone who can do the dif with less material, this is a great chalenge,i hope cap will make it,
lippi did, cap is in a good way, but he didnt prooved that to me yet,
we hired him for a purpose(CL final tittle)
, i hope he will make it,
i m sure mistakes like the one with liverpool wont happen next year,
it was just because of the coach change(thats why i m against it),
lippi new our players cant beat an English team on the air,
why? because he tried that and failed, cap didnt, he now knows,
if he leave us a couple of years later, then deshamps might have to learn that too, got my point?
Cap wasnt brought in to win us the CL cup, he was here to start a regeneration, and Im satisfied he did it in a short time.

And coaches have a lot of influence on who comes, ofcourse the board will give him a budget and the board will negotiate the price, but it is Coaches who makes shortlist of who they want on the team.

And I get your point on changing coaches, but its not like if they dont coah Juve then they dont learn anything, Cap probably did know about winning in the air and stuff, but if u take a look at our team offensively able to play against Liverpool u can see Capello didnt have much creative options. His mistake was to be too careful in that game, or may be it wasnt a mistake. May be liverpool made us look bad because they were good, thats why they won the CL cup.

On the other hand about the big transfers;
i dont know if lippi choosed then, but who ever choosed, choosed very wise,
because those changes manage to keep us on top for many years,
the choises done know wont,
we need aditional big changes the year to come,
if this is ur way to judge a coach, then cap looses again!
Juve doesnt make additional big changes every year,
if capello manage to be in the CL final, win2 champiponships in3years,
with the same transfer policy juve had on lippi era,
then he can be compared with lippi.
Yes, atlast you get my point, Lippi made many wise buys also, this is why I said you cant simply say if Lippi had this team then... ... ... because the coaches pick their team.
I think you dont understand what Ive been saying so, I never said we needed big changes or anything like that. And I cant believe you think Lippi was given only a little bit of money during his era and that he didnt sign big names.
And if you know, we have always had the same transfer policy then and now, so Capello is not given an advantage.

Let me just make a conclusion because from reading ur post I think u dont understand what I am agruing and what I think:

Lippi = Great Coach, Loyal to Juve
Capello = Great Coach, Profesional

So they are both great and nothing should be taken away from Capello's good first season, not even saying that sure Lippi would have easily done the same. Because Capello is not overrated, success has followed him where ever he went, sooner or later.

Capello unveils new Juventus Friday 27 May, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus boss Fabio Capello has revealed his club’s summer transfer plans and objectives for the new season.

The tactician confirmed that the outfit would be looking to buy quality players in the hope of mounting a serious Champions’ League challenge next term.

"We already have some clear ideas," he told the Tuttosport newspaper. "Bringing back the European Cup to Turin is our principal objective for next season.

"We are looking for players who can make a 10 percent difference to the side rather than just two percent. Seeing as we are not starting from the bottom, this will be very difficult to do.

"I’ve asked the club for a rich squad even if we know that the money box is closed and we can’t violate the books. We’ll do our very best."

Juventus have been linked with Roma’s Antonio Cassano and Alberto Gilardino of Parma, but their arrival would seemingly only occur if the club sold first.

One man who has been linked with a ‘sacrifice’ is Real Madrid target Emerson, even if Capello has rubbished that claim.

"He is not going to leave," added the former Roma boss. "He is one of the best midfield players in the world in my opinion, if not the best."

Capello led Juve to the title at his first attempt but he has been criticised this term over his continual substitution of Alessandro Del Piero.

"Alex’s conduct was extraordinary, as a captain and a professional," noted the Coach.

"I said that he would one day thank me and he returned to the champion he is in the closing stages of the season.

"He is an important player and I don’t enjoy substituting anyone. I just do my job, the one which I am paid for."

Juventus have undoubtedly been solid this season, rather than entertaining, and Capello expects that not to change in the 2005-06 campaign.

"Winning gets people talking and remains in the record books. Entertaining play is forgotten and only relative," he defended.

The master tactician concluded by commenting on Milan’s extraordinary collapse to Liverpool in the Champions’ League Final.

"I thought it would be all downhill for the Rossoneri after Paolo Maldini’s goal," he said. "The blackout in the second half was incredible, even if luck wasn’t on Milan’s side either

Vonam and Baggio you have made some very interesting comments there but of cos they are wroing imo as you seem to be overlapping 2 seasons

You say Lippi showed blind faith in Dp by playing him when he should have been playing a "redhot" Di Viao but of cos the season you are talking about we won the league.
The season which was 2 seasons ago in which we came third, Dp played very few games, started even less and Di Vaio was simply hopeless
Now the so called red hot boy has gone to Valencia and hom many has he actually scored compared to much maligned Ronaldo and Owen, Forlan and other strikers in a league its easier to score in
Where did Valencia end up? A pathetic 6th, not his fault of cos but was Dp there to block his progress too?
Did Miccolli set seriA alight this season at Fiorentina or did Dp block his progress as well?
The fact still remains whether you like him or not every time Dp scores a reasonable amount of goals we have gone on to win serieA .
As long as he has played well and not blighted by injuries we have won the damned thing , not my rantings , just fact.

Now to Capello and Lippi

Yes Capello brought on 3 good players to form a new backbone for us this season but thats becos we lost the league

Vonam says would Lippi have been able to integrate this 3 players so quickly

Well lets take a walk down memory lane, Lippi comes in 1994, we have not won the league for like forever, Maifreidi and Trapatoni amongst others had tried but failed , then along comes Lippi, he brings along Deschamps, Sousa, Ferrara, Fusi, Tacchinardi etc and these guys integrated so well that we won the league, well maybe except for Deshamps but he was injuerd for most of it, but Sousa was fantastic and his contribution was far more impressive than what Emerson did this season

2 seasons later as we lost the league to milan but won the cl, Sousa, Ravanelli and Vialli were discarded for Vieri, Boksic, Jugovic, Zidane amongst others , we were the dominant side in
Europe.

Fast forward to after Ancelotti lost the title twice , Lippi comes back and we bring in Buffon, Thuram and Nedved and guess what happen we win the league twice in a row

So like Juve always do when they win the league they just fine adjust and they decide to bring in Miccolli back from loan and Leggrotaglie but it backfired spectacularly as noone would have predicted that long chunks in the season, the defence will collapse spectacularly, Dp and Trez will miss so many matches , Miccolli did not live up to expectation but was also injured and Di Vaio will only wanna play well when Dp is either on the bench or he knows is about to come back from injury

Lippi has proved so many times that he can in fact integrate new players
