Juventus - Livorno Preview: The FIRST OFFICIAL JUVE OFFSIDE SERIE A PREVIEW!
By: gianfranco z | August 25th, 2007The start of a new era begins today, one in Torino at the Stadio Olimpico and one here in the states at the Juventus Offside headquarters. We both are embarking on a new journey into Serie A. After already watching Bologna-Rimini, Arsenal-Manchester City this morning, followed by Lazio-Torino, I can not WAIT for the Juve match to begin. Bologna-Rimini was horrible, Manchester City did not deserve to lose, and Lazio-Torino well, I dont realy like either team. Onto the good shit, of course injuries surround us like crazy, but im glad we get our first crack against possibly the team I hate most right up there with Inter, the Commie fucks themselves AS Livorno. Politics aside, here are my projected starting line ups.
Juventus- 4-4-2
Buffon; Zebina, Andrade, Criscito, Chiellini; Salihamidzic, Almiron, Nocerino, Nedved;Trezeguet, Del Piero. Bench Belardi 12, Molinaro 28, Boumsong 18, Zanetti 6, Tiago 30, Palladino 20, Iaquinta 9
Livorno - 4-4-2
Amelia; Grandoni, Knezevic, Galante, Pasquale; E. Filippini, Pulzetti, Loviso, A. Filippini, Tristan, Tavano. Bench- 14 De Lucia, 32 Pavan, 69 Balleri, 9 Bergvold, 78 Volpe, 20 Rossini, 23 Diamanti
We are without Grygera who was injured in national team duties last week and will miss up to a month, Camoranesi is still not 100% match fit, Marchionni of course out, other then that its pretty much set. The anticipation of this match is huge as we look to set the tone in serie A and get off on the right foot. Chiellini and Criscito playing next to eachother is going to be sick, Nocerino and Almiron, I cant wait. Our opponents lack a lot, and will be battling for relegation this season if Tavano can show any form after a wasted season last year he may be a blessing, Juve youngster Francesco Volpe is a sparkplug off the bench for the Livorno attack, but other then that, can you be excited about a midfield consisting of Giuliano Giannichedda and the Filipini brothers all year? ha
Sorry for the short preview but I need to make in time to watch the game.
Prediction - 2-0 for Juventus

Nice win today. Very strong first half, with a great debut for Almiron and Nocerino. Second half was a weaker show, despite the 4 goals… Livorno shut down the field until the penalty forced them to open up, but I thought we looked tired.
Vinny with 2, Trezzie with 3… Let’s not get our hopes up, but it was nice to see us give those socialists a fkn good kicking.

I’m very happy with Juve’s performance today! Salihamdzic finally stuck his head out of the hole and remembered what a soccer player is, Iaquinta finally understood what we bought him for (i.e. to score GOALS), and Chiellini and Trezeguet have buried the bad blood created with their attitude/transfer rumours for good. The season will be long, but we set off on the right path!!
We are back baby!!!

Totally agree with all the posts. One thing to add though is that Zanetti worked really hard and played the role of the rock or defensive midfielder. It was obvious during the friendlies that a Tiago-Almiron or Nocerino-Almiron combination will expose our defense.
Great game all in all. Hope to see Palladino play next time. Our youngsters did really well and Nedved, who turns 35 in four days, played like a 21 year old…!
