Juventus ace Marco Di Vaio is ready to again take a seat on the bench despite his stunning strike against Milan.
The former Parma forward netted a wicked volley in the 1-1 draw on Saturday but he knows he’s not guaranteed anything in Turin.
"I accept Marcello Lippi’s rotation system," said the player who has now netted five League goals this season.
"In many ways this is our secret weapon. The Coach has many options in attack and is getting the best out of us all."
Lippi has chopped and changed his attackers in recent weeks as David Trezeguet, Fabrizio Miccoli and Di Vaio have all been given a chance to shine.
However, competition for places is set to increase with Alex Del Piero now on the verge of returning from injury.
"Having Del Piero available will complicate things but we are at the beginning of a long season," added the Italian.
"We have the Scudetto and the Champions’ League to take into consideration. Everyone will need to catch their breath so I’m happy with the situation right now."
Asked to comment on his superb strike against Milan, Di Vaio admits he didn’t think twice about going for goal.
"It was all instinctive," he added. "Even if I have to admit that I was maybe a little lucky that it went in."
