Capello: Trezeguet who?
Monday 1 November, 2004
Juventus boss Fabio Capello is happy that the absence of star striker David Trezeguet is not affecting their campaign.
The Bianconeri have won every game since the Frenchman was told that he wouldn’t feature again until the New Year because of a shoulder injury.
The latest victory came on Sunday when they won 3-0 against Chievo to make it eight wins and one draw in their first nine games – a Serie A record.
"If there are no more serious injuries then there will be no need to buy in the January transfer window," stated the tactician.
"We are in good shape as we are. I have a big squad and sooner or later, everybody will get a chance to play. We also have some interesting youngsters."
One man who is catching the eye is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as the summer signing from Ajax has now scored four goals in the top-flight.
"Ibrahimovic scores but also allows others to score," added the Coach. "I’m happy for him and for us."
The Bianconeri have had an amazing start to the season when you consider that they have also won all three of their Champions’ League games.
Now Capello wants that record to continue on Wednesday when they travel to Bayern Munich.
"We need to keep going down this path and concentrate on Europe now," he noted. "But we are only at the beginning."
Pavel Nedved is also eyeing up the three points in Germany. "We are going there in order to wrap up qualification," said the Czech.
"We won again on Sunday even though we were without players like Emerson, Zambrotta and Zebina. That illustrates how strong we are."
