What it basically says is that Vieri , Pizarro and Vieira all proved that they are quality players and can make a difference in their new environments. Del Piero, Stankovic, Rui Costa and Cafu also impressed.
Inter - Pizarro and Stankovic could be key men for the Nerazzurri in the coming season and along with Veron form a very good midfield.
Milan - Vieri was average against Inter but came to life in the Juve game. Gives Milan another option upfront which will certainly be utilised at some point in time as the season is a long one. Rui Costa and Cafu continue to impress even though they're nearing the ends of their careers.
Juve - Vieira could very well be the difference maker. He adds a bit more balance and fluidity as well as extra solidity to the Juve midfield. Del Piero? Delightful. Though only a friendly, Ibrahimovic showed that there are parts of his game that need work as he fouled frequently and lost possession trying to do a bit too much. Lastly, Trezeguet failed to contribute to the build up once more but still popped up and scored a good goal.
