The hunt for a record 6th straight Scudetto starts this month. We've got some really big games coming up early in the season so it's important to get off to a good start. Two games to start the season then a week off for the international break. Serie A Fixtures Sat, 20 Aug - Fiorentina Sun, 28 Aug - at Lazio
Juve's home opener against Fiorentina is already sold out. Tickets sold out within hours of going on sale.
I still cant believe they're not fixing these stupid September International date to some other date. Every year its 2 games followed by 2 weeks of International break.
Hey guys, how do you think we will lineup this season? I have a feeling we will use 3-5-2 and 4-4-2. Right now since Marchisio is out and I think Khedira is out as well (please correct me if I am wrong) we will use 4-4-2. We have great full backs/wing backs/wingers now.
LOL. Look like our 90 million euro striker will be dropped for the first match. Piggy indeed. http://www.football-italia.net/89773/allegri-considers-dropping-higuain
I still cant believe we spent that much on 1 player. He has huge pressure on him and im not worried right now, its way too early. I just hope he's hungry enough to prove everyone wrong once and for all and score in important games. Tevez had that bad rep too and he overcame it with us, hopefully Higuain can too.
Frankly, that seems to be part of his problem so far. Hope he keeps his hunger for goals/titles, but perhaps cuts back on it a bit vis a vis his belly.
Have faith in Allegri. He will not start Higuain if he is not match fit. No need to put him on a bad start. I guess Napoli did not have any preseason expectations of their players. Un caffè e una sigaretta basta!
Here's the squad list for tomorrow's game. 1 Buffon 3 Chiellini 4 Benatia 5 Pjanic 6 Khedira 7 Zaza 9 Higuain 11 Hernanes 12 Alex Sandro 15 Barzagli 17 Mandzukic 18 Lemina 19 Bonucci 20 Pjaca 21 Dybala 22 Asamoah 23 Dani Alves 24 Rugani 25 Neto 26 Lichtsteiner 32 Audero 33 Evra 39 Marrone
