Here is the team of the week from Septemeber 14th and 15th: GK Zeljko Kalac (Perugia) D Salvatore Lanna (Chievo) D Matteo Ferreri (Parma) D Paolo Maldini (Milan) D Dario Simic (Milan) M Pavel Nedved (Juventus) M Andrea Pirlo (Milan) M Enzo Maresca (Piacenza) M Alberto (Udinese) F Alessandro Del Piero (Juventus) F Filippo Inzaghi (Milan) Player of the Week: Inzaghi Planet Football Four rossoneri on the team, not bad.
Juve's new right wing, his name starts with a C, well he was outstanding on sunday, and scored in CL.
3a Giornata TOW Here's the Best 11 for this past round of games, Ballotta (Modena) Mihajlovic (Lazio) Maldini (Milan) Kaladze (Milan) Seric (Brescia) Maresca (Piacenza) Appiah (Brescia) Doni (Atalanta) Baggio (Brescia) Del Piero (Juventus) Hubner (Piacenza) Maresca got their nod as player of the week.
I'm pretty sure it's a loan deal, but only because I doubt Juve would sell a young player with such promise. But I'm not 100% on that.
They should have kept him because they really don't have any creative central midfielders besides Davids. And it's a long season with three competitions to deal with. It's always better to have have too many options than too little.
Yeah, but I think Camoranesi is better than Maresca. ... Davids, a creator?? Everybody said Juve was in really bad shape before last season when they lost the key creative influence of Zidane in their midfield. Yet somehow they managed to win the Scudetto.
I think Camoranesi plays on the wings while Maresca plays more centrally. I just think it would be good to have a big squad for Juve to challenge on all fronts. Nedved and Camoranesi are Juve's creators from the wings but Davids is the only player Juve has that can create something from the center. Unless you think Tacchinardi or Baiocco can do this, which I do not.
