SERENA, CONSIDERING THAT IT WAS A PARTY, BUT THAT THE MEMORY OF ROTTERDAM'S GOLDEN GOAL IS STILL ALIVE, TALK TO US ABOUT TR�Z�GUET.
"He's someone that lives and dies by the score. He speculates on mistakes, he camps close to the goalkeeper."
LIKE INZAGHI...
"More or less, each with his own characteristics. Their opportunism and flair is the same, the Frenchman is stronger physically, Filippo is quicker. You can't expect though from David twenty goals on his first year here: the way you are marked in Italy cannot be seen found anywhere else."
A BULLY IN THE PENALTY BOX: WHAT ABOUT OUTSIDE OF IT?
He partecipates little to the play. He's not a streak of lightning. With his physique, he should defend the ball better and make the team move up. Are you familiar with Kovacevic?"
BETTER WITH INZAGHI OR WITH DEL PIERO?
"It depends."
CONVENIENT ANSWER...
"It's also a matter of formation. Take Marseille's France. Formation: 4-2-3-1. The three were Dugarry, Zidane, and Henry. In front, Tr�z�guet. In attack, only him. This is why, when you are the only true striker, you have to stay in front, otherwise you take away a reference mark to your teammates. In the 4-4-2 it's different. I played with Altobelli and Klinsmann, similar characteristics, sometimes we stepped on each other's feet, other times we didn't. When you play with two true strikers, you have to work harder on the flanks. And Juve, on the flanks, doesn't push enough. I'm thinking about the last Zambrotta, more fullback than winger. I'm curious to see Athirson play."
CAN JUVE PLAY � LA FRAN�AISE?
"As long as Del Piero accept the left flank and Zambrotta attacks more. But with the French scheme there will be two left out between Inzaghi, Tr�z�guet, and Kovacevic."
INZAGHI?
"In Cesena, against Bologna, I saw him very determined. Ancelotti tried him with Tr�z�guet, wide left. Pippo is a certainty. It won't be easy to take his spot. If he doesn't score, who will? Not Zidane, even if he's a wonderful player. Not Del Piero.
DEL PIERO?
"He has to play more with his instincts, he has to get rid of a mountain of physichological draw-backs. He has to learn from Inzaghi, who arrived at the European Championships shoaken by ferocious criticism, but he found a way to react: and indeed he did."
TO RECAP?
"Tr�z�guet is a card more, not an ace more."
