The moment of the last official match at Delle Alpi in 2003 has finally arrived. After the victories over Olympiakos in Champions League and against Parma in Serie A, Juventus is ready to play the second leg of the Coppa Italia second round against Siena, beaten in the away match for 2-1, thanks to the goals scored by Benjamin and Zalayeta.
For the game against the Tuscan team, Lippi will pick up Del Piero and Trezeguet as starters. “We’ll start the match with an important team which shows the richness of our group– Lippi said – We’ll face a team that rested last Sunday and that will be unwilling to lose”.
After the victory in the away match, the final result of the second round may seem to be certain but Lippi knows the risks of matches like this and revealed the secret to face the game against Papadopulo’s team.
”The important thing is to find the proper concentration in order to obtain the pass for the quarterfinals and use this match in the best way. We have to remember that an official match is always better than any training. So I expect Juventus will play in the proper way, showing that the bad moment we lived ten days ago is now over, both psychologically and physically, as we already saw on Sunday”.
