Juventus 4 - 2 Milan
(Xmas came early this year, wasn't it?)
Disclaimer: Apologize for minimal piccies and not so creative captions cuz I'm lazy like that :P
Rightly so, this game is worth the title Derby D'Italia parte II for two of the most decorated clubs in Calcio history.
And no player could typify the club's pedigree than these two golden oldies: Maldini & Del Piero *clutches heart*
Please not to be confused aging but classy players with useless deadwood. Kthx
Both sides are hit with tsunami of injuries & suspensions.
Juventus had to field Olof Mellberg, literally their 4th choice CB
But Melberg did really well yesterday
Not to mention providing us some good rear view *whistles*
Kaka was out so Milan's attacking prowess were left to Ronaldinho & Duckie Seedorf, who?
But Momo sissoko made sure life in Olympico will be miserable for all the rossoneri.
Midfield enforcer, yo!
If Momo is the muscle, Marchisio is definitely the brain of Juventus midfield.
Fighting like a terrier, Clever passing and distribution. Marchisio really stepped up big time *iz proud*
See? even Dinho's split could hardly distract him!
At the end of the game, dinho threw a fit to Marchisio, who acted like he couldn't care less.
"Get off, I iz not scare of your bucktooth!!"
Nedved was subbed at min 30. So entered Paolo de Ceglie.
I bet all juve fans were sweating at the sight of PDC cuz he just played as a LM in midweek game and, unfortunately, failed T_T
However, PDC totally tore up the left side this game. His speed and physical presence caused all sorts of problem for Zambrotta.
Adding insult to injury, PDC successfully got Zambro sent off amid rabid cheers from Juventini *pets Zambro*
Last but not least, the unstoppable Amauri.
Showing off some skillz.
When it comes to header, Amauri does not jump. Amuari descends. Period.
Let's move to the goals (cuz there're plenty of them *g*)
First goal courtesy of Jankulovski ADP's PK
Nailed it like a pro (Plz take note, Elfling!)
Then here came teh tongue :P
(Blame it on photog's obsession of ADP's tongue, not me!)
251 goals and counting, btchz!!
*is missing Trezeguet*
Duckie equalized 15 mins later as a welcome gesture to De Ceglie's arrival
(2nd game in a row that Juve conceded once PDC stepped in the pitch. Giovinco shall blame himself as unlucky no more XD)
But Milan only hold the balance for only 3 more minutes. Chiellini gave Juve another lead from a powerful header.
err..can someone 'splain me why the hell Milan went zonal defending during that corner?
Killini didn't waste any time celebrating.
~I believe I can fly~
that or he's making fun of duckie *g*
The roomies celebrated.
(Yup, Chiellini is PDC's roommate. Lucky bastard XD)
Awww Zebra younginz *clutches heart*
OT: I'm a little disappointed with Marchisio. I thought he would be more creative with his celebration.
Like last week when he shamelessly molested Giovinco XD
Chiellini then got team!love from teh seniors as well <333
Again, Lucky.Bastard.
3rd goal came near the end of first half.
De Ceglie sent a milimeter-perfect cross to Amauri who had no problem burying it to the net.
Oh no, the tongue syndrome is spreading *facepalms*
OK, that's more like it. THANK YOU!
Scoring against Meelan. It's that easy!
I gotta give it to Amauri for he tirelessly fighting for every chance. Like here in the 4th goal.
With predatory finishing skills to booth.
What's not to love, seriously? Well...unless you're Marcello Lippi.
"hmm..I wonder what detergent they used? Smells like victory!"
This prolly sent Juve fans in rapture, 'cept maybe Trezeguet XD
Manninger was overjoyed
"Lord, what have I done to deserve this!?"
(You sure didn't. But Galliani & Berlusconi so did >=E)
At the end, a victory well fought.
But Meelan will sure wait for their revenge in San Siro.
And being Juve, they're so gonna have a surprise fuck up sooner or later.
Until then, let's celebrate!
FORZA JUVENTUS!!
