Pessotto Fresi Conte Miccoli Zalayeta Mirante
who do you think the starters will be? i think that lippi will want to rest a few of the players.... cause of the euro2004 games. And also for the game against galatasoroy..... why arent they showing that game on espn 2??? lol
I would be happy with La Gazzetta's lineup. I guess the only real change might be to start Davids over Appiah but considering all the recent drama and the good form of Appiah it seems unlikely.
Yesss !!! Juve have won ! Leggrotaglie scred agasint his former club Trezeguet scored a nice goal too 2-1 to Juve after being a goal down. Zambrotta was man of the match for me Davids was brought on as a sub late in the 2nd half and he got booked after being on the pitch for just 5 minutes or so. What a stupid character. He could have been sent off too for another challenge. I hope Juve get rid of him ASAP.
best players of the match: 1. Zambrotta- awesome on the left great cross for trez!!! 2. Nedved- ran whole game with nice touches, unlucky to hit post 3. Legrottaglie- Played absolutely solid in the back and wonderful header agnist his old club 4. Buffon- Mesmerizing stop to deny the chievo player on the 1-on-1 unlucky on the penalty Davids came on as a sub and played really well only thing was the yellow otherwise he played great and he mesmerized some cheivo players, with some delicious footwork...... KEEP HIM HERE FORZA JUVE!!!

Anyone see the game? Did the formation change when we made substitutions? Just curious how it evolved. Also, 34,624 is a huge crowd for Chievo. Even if there were probably a lot of Juventini it's still pretty impressive.
after the substitutes came on they just sat back and kept absorbing everything that was thrown at them basically...and had a few chances on the counter. The defense looked pretty good and Zambrotta was easily the best player at the back....and he looked very good going forward.
Zambrotta's recent form should certainly put to rest any thought of bringing back Paolo Maldini for Euro 2004. Unless he wants to be a squad player.
