First of all good news for Juventus:
http://www.juventus.com/uk/news/det...1370000&ID=7426
Giraudo, Moggi and Bettega are staying in the club, and now it's official.
Over to the match tonight:
Roma has had many faces this season and it's no secret that they're currently playing inspired and very good. They've won 11 matches
in 2006 and it all started after Cassano left for Real Madrid.
Spaletti has managed to get Perrotta to play better, he also works more than he used to earlier this season. There are some problems
in Roma currently, and those are that they've got Totti, Montella and De Rossi injured for this game. In my oppinion, two very
important players are gone in Totti and De Rossi, they're also the leaders of the team, Montella is ofcourse very important to, he can
always step up, play well and produce goals.
There are some other things that has to be mentioned, Roma is playing well, but it seems like they're going to get some help if
Capello doesn't start with the best players. The reason he wouldn't do this is because Juventus has got a very important Champions
League-game around the corner against Arsenal in England. But I hope he will start with the best players, so we can play good and win
this game early, so they can rest. Also, I would start with Zlatan Ibrahimovic instead of Del Piero, he's worth the chance now when he
has to prove himself. But I suspect Zlatan is going to play against Arsenal because he's physically stronger than Del Piero, I
wouldn't say that's a good thing when he played like shit last year against Liverpool, also a strong english team.
Blasi may be playing tonight because Capello could rest either Emerson or Vieria, most likely Emerson. The Juve-defence is most likely going to be Cannavaro & Thuram, but it may be Cannavaro & Kovac in the middle or Thuram & Kovac. He could be resting one of the middefenders because of the important Arsenal-game on Tuesday. Zambrotta is back on the team and he has recovered from his injury according to club doctors, this may give him the chance to play and this would most likely mean that Balzaretti would be on the bench, don't know the condition of Chielini, but I think he's healthy, because we're in need of a player on his position, if he's healthy, then he's most likely going to play to. Jonathan Zebina has injured his toe a little and he's not available for this games.
There's one key to win this game, the midfield. Nedved who can't sleep at nights because of the Champions League paranoia, needs to prove his capacity once again and with help from either Camoranesi or Mutu on the other side of the pitch, they may win this game for Juventus. Emerson/Blasi and Vieria has to take a lot responsability to prove this and help us to win over Perotta on the midfield.
It's looking pretty promising, and we've met Roma three times before this season:
Roma vs. Juventus 1-4 (Serie A)
Juventus vs. Roma 2-3 (Coppa Italia)
Roma vs. Juventus 0-1 (Coppa Italia)
Noticable is that neither team has won a game at home which makes it only away-wins.
Forza Bianconeri.
