Zanetti Out For The Season

By: roberto | February 1st, 2009

In an interview at end of the match Riccardo Agricola, head of the Juventus medical team spoke of the injuries suffered by Cristiano Zanetti and Giorgio Chiellini. “Zanetti’s injury does not seem to be encouraging. The player left the pitch suffering from a sharp pain. He will have to undergo other tests but the things seem to be rather complicated”. “With regards to Chiellini, the defender felt the beginning of a muscle strain and decided to stop rather then force it. However, Giorgio seemed alright after the match even though we have to confirm this”.

‘Does not seem encouraging’? Well thanks doc’ I could’ve told you that. What tipped you off? Was it the way he took off his jersey and sat there wincing? Or maybe it could’ve been the sight of him in a stretcher holding his face in his hands. In any case, C4 has taken Agricola’s remarkably diplomatic statement and translated it into a fairly less bullshit explanation: Juventus will be without Cristiano Zanetti for the rest of the season. I don’t even want to think about Chiellini right now.

IERI… OGGI… DOMANI… SEMPRE JUVE!!!

i cant believe he thought there was only 115 minutes?!!! hes only ever watched a league match or something
adam

Lol did anyone realize Delacamera thought there was only 115 min of extra time. At 115min he's like any second now the ref will blow the whistle, this tops FOX's commentators.

adam

That was a goal, falg should of stayed down!
MIkeDG

4 minutes injury time, still 0-0 with juve looking worse and worse
alex

whats the point in sissoko he cant even tackle properly!
MIkeDG

momo almost killed lavezzi, and got a yellow for it
MIkeDG

napoli just ate a golden opportunity with two (TWO!) players missing easy tap-ins across the face of the goal.
MIkeDG

juve's making silly mistakes all over the field. napoli's knocking on the door, with better and better chances to score... i got a bad feeling about this.
adam

Great were out of subs and Sissoko is down, lets hope he gets back up.
MIkeDG

nice. delacamera called Nedved the "best player on the planet." LOVE IT.
MIkeDG

MIkeDG

Woa, what the fuck happened to Amauri's face?
MIkeDG

3zegol is coming on! his mom just threw a garbage bag of confetti into the crowd, and the juventini are singing King David's song.
adam

Bad sub by Ranieri, should of taken Marchionni out and moved Iaquinta to the right.
MIkeDG

3zegol is coming on!!!
adam

Why do we keep trying to cross to Iaquinta when he's surrounded by 3 defenders?
adam

molinaro seizes to amaze me
MIkeDG

jesus. lavezzi dribbles past our whole defense only to get an unlucky deflection off his shot. that was CLOSE
roberto

hahah no don't do it MikeDG... it's pure gold
MIkeDG

half time.

my synopsis: juve's playing good, napoli's playing counter, the officiating is poor, and the napoli fans are pretty fkn loud for traveling ultras.

oh, and announcer delacamera is really outdoing himself. he constantly mistakes player names, he frequently contradicts himself, and he tried to make a racial joke about juve's jersey saying "you can't discriminate against black" (in reference to the ref mistaking molinaro's handball for lavessi). im switching to SAP.
