I'm quite gutted our youngsters aren't inthere, would've loved to see a bit more of Yago and/or Marrone. Good to see Diego is back and ready for action though.
At the end of the Sunday session, Ferrara announced the list of players called-up for the Trofeo Berlusconi which will see the inclusion of Marchisio, Trezeguet and Zebina who returned to working with the group. Diego is also included after having had a good training session and playing the mini-match as joker.
Tiago will not be part of the expedition, after having suffered a muscle strain to the right thigh which will be examined on Monday. Other players which have not been called-up are Camoranesi who will continue with his recovery following the injury suffered with the national team, Caceres who was granted a day off, Chiellini who will be rested as well as the injured Giovinco and Sissoko. The Mali midfielder is at St. Rapahel at the Cote Azzure at the centre where he had formerly undergone the post-operation rehabilitation programme: the medical treatment is being carried out in accordance with the Juventus medical staff while the athletic preparation is being followed by Gaudino.
We don't want any more injuries...but at the same time, its a prestigious match, against our second main contender for the title. So it makes sense to put out a strong team. A decent victory will add confidence to the squad as a whole, and will further deaden the tone in Milan.
Only Diego I feel should be used sparingly if at all. The rest can be as strong as possible...
Continuity and mental advantage are the prizes on offer for victory. And also, an addition to the levels of match fitness.

It's our last friendly, which means that Ferrara will quit experimenting with the youngsters and field the best possible starting 11 and simulate a major champions league match. He is determined to win it after all and most probably he will push the team to do so. In short, we can either crush them completely with a large score or end up a disaster injury wise.
But fuck curses, they are for the weak. FORZA JUVE, LETS BURY THE RED SHIT :theflag:
