Alessandro Del Piero was visited yesterday by Dr. Steadman and he was told
that Alex could be back in 4 months-time.
Daniel Fonseca has only a contusion on his knee, so he will be back for
Sunday's match against Piacenza.
Carletto Ancelotti was introduced to the press today at noon. Ancelotti
will direct the first training this afternoon.
Juve's first lineup of the post-Lippi era will be :
Peruzzi
Birindelli Iuliano Montero Pessotto [Mirkovic]
Di Livio Deschamps Davids Zidane
Esnaider Fonseca [Henry]
The important changes is that Ancelotti will stick *only* to the 4-4-2,
placing Zizou on the left side, instead behind the two forwards with Lippi.
Remember that Ancelotti didn't want both Gianfranco Zola and Roberto Baggio
while at Parma, since he doesn't like the "fantasista" role.
Marcello Lippi is already in Viareggio with his family. He says he doesn't
want to talk for now, as he is too depressed. He made a half-promise that
he will talk one month from now.
Didier Deschamps, currently together with Zizou for England-France, says
that he will talk Thursday, his first day back in Turin. Rumors are that he
and Lippi had a big fight Sunday. Currently, all Juve players are forbidden
to talk to the press, especially regarding the Lippi-issue.
Morgan De Sanctis will start today in goal for Italy in the Under-21
friendly against Turkey to be played in Siena tonight (Raitre, 8:45 PM).
Gianluca Pessotto and Filippo Inzaghi are on Atletico Madrid's short-list,
after Arrigo Sacchi has specifically asked for them, together with Lazio's
Pavel Nedved, to president Jesus Gil.
