Well, let's get the tournament losses out of the way now so that we don't have to worry about them later in the season... :undecide:

    Napoli win after those penalties from distance, where the player dribbles from distance. Zambro and Mutu miss and Napoli score both (3 penalties per team).

    I'll try to comment all the players' average performance in these two games.

    1 Buffon - Didn't play

    6 Kovac - Played the second game and did it decently. Looks solid and experienced. A good backup. Had a handball in the penalty area though, luckily the referee missed it.

    7 Pessotto - He's past it. He plays with heart but brought a Napoli player down which resulted in a penalty, because of his lack of pace. Rarely went up to help in attack.

    8 Emerson - Much like last year although more active in attack. I believe he'll be even better this year.

    9 Ibrahimovic - Scored after a minute, and netted a free-kick. Was both effective and creative until he was knocked down by Materazzi and walked out with an injury. Nothing serious though.

    10 Del Piero - ...

    11 Nedved - Links up well with the rest of the team and never stops running. Not very involved in the passing though and didn't show much creativity.

    12 Chimenti - He's not bad, just not Juve quality at all. For someone with his age, he looks very insecure. Time for a new backup perhaps?

    16 Camoranesi - One of the best in the first game. He showed some nice technique, passing and Juve loses a complete dimension of creativity whenever he is not on the field.

    17 Trezeguet - Was involved in the first goal vs Inter, otherwise invisible.

    18 Mutu - Very positive surprise. Runs, dribbles, passes, crosses. One assist and a shot on the bar. Achieves more than Nedved.

    19 Zambrotta - Solid performance as usual. Could be more attacking though.

    20 Blasi - Wow, is this the same Blasi we saw last year? He dribbled, passed, helped out both in offense and defense. His versatility will prove to be useful this season.

    21 Thuram - Very solid performance in the back as usual.

    22 Bonnefoi - Didn't play.

    23 Giannichedda - Works very hard and doesn't try to do things he is incapable of. Perhaps he should stop fouling whenever he loses the ball though.

    24 Olivera - Bah.

    25 Zalayeta - Scored a goal, missed an absolute sitter. Not a bad performance from the 5th forward. Is involved in the game, unlike Trez and DP.

    27 Zebina - Plays with emotion. Mixes fantastic play with Zebinates. Slapped a Napoli player.

    28 Cannavaro - See Thuram.
