Before the match was played between Juventus and Lecce at the Stadio Via del Mare "November 14, 2004, Fabio Capello is convinced that this would be an important stage for the rest of the season for Juventus, as it happened just when the league began to gain momentum. Waiting there were the Salento Madama led by Zdenek Zeman, enemy par excellence of the company away from Turin 1998, when he publicly denounced a world of football that made excessive use of pharmacies, citing Juventus Alessandro Del Piero and Gianluca Vialli as examples of players who had clearly increased their muscle mass during their career, sparking the inevitable hornet's nest of controversy. " I never talked about doping " he said, "but drug abuse. I did not have and do not have it with Del Piero, players are the victims of this system: the fault, if anything, is the medical . "And so, as Vialli had long since hung up his boots, just happened to Del Piero another chance to take a personal revenge against Technical Bohemian. The twelfth day of the qualifying round and then put in front of the class combined with the concreteness of the weapon and the swagger of Lecce Juventus, loaded on the eve of the words of his coach: "We will play to win keeping our balance: if my team scores more goals than he suffers, means that it is balanced. And if ever we win 5-4, we finally arrived first . "To add further salt A party who would be held shortly thereafter, Zeman also tried to poke the same Capello ( I'd be curious to see what he would do to drive a small team ... "), receiving - in return - a dry response from the technical Friulian ( now I have passed the age to make that experience ). The storm that hit on
Lecce since the day before the meeting (with a brief stop on Sunday morning) and lasted for the whole 90 minutes of the match turned the pitch into a quagmire. Contrary to the good intentions of the coach owners adopted a cautious attitude, adding to the midline on the right side drawers, in apparent intention to stop the offensive flurries Juventus left-back Zambrotta and contain advanced Olivera, the opportunity to substitute the suspended Nedved. By using this device with the 4-3-3 tactics which he used to deploy on its training camp quickly turned into a classic 4-4-2. Since the early minutes of the game Zlatan Ibrahimovic went up into the limelight for having put his paw in all major actions of Juventus. At 2 'could not realize a clear scoring chances despite the fact that he had come to find only in front of Sicignano, thanks to an inviting ball received from Emerson, quick free-kick to beat a surprise in his favor. Subsequently (at 14 ') freed on dexterity Diamoutene to give an assist to Del Piero, positioned inside the penalty area Lecce: the number 10 black and white was good at controlling the ball, avoid surgery and achieve the goal Stovini 1 -0. Having taken the lead Madama had to undergo one of the few offensive sorties of Lecce: 20 'Buffon pushed a header from Bjelanovic in an action arising out of the corner beaten by Ledesma. Thuram and Cannavaro then shook the mesh of the defense in an attempt to limit the dangers to the number one white. Ibrahimovic was still towards the end of the first portion of the game, to devour another goal after collecting a ball respinta di Sicignano su un tiro scoccato da Pessotto.
All’inizio della ripresa lo svedese, di testa, porse un pallone a Olivera, la cui conclusione venne neutralizzata dal portiere dei padroni di casa. Le manovre di entrambe le squadre si svilupparono prevalentemente nella zona centrale del campo, dato che ai lati l’alta concentrazione di pozzanghere impediva ai calciatori di muoversi liberamente con il pallone tra i piedi. Il solo Camoranesi, autore di giocate sopraffine, dimostrò di essere l’unico tra i presenti a non risentire eccessivamente delle difficili condizioni ambientali.
Guidata dalla sapiente regia di Emerson, cui Capello affiancò per l’occasione Appiah nel cuore della linea mediana juventina, Madama riuscì to block supplies to Bjelanovic and Bojinov, the attacking duo of yellow and red. Zeman did not alter neither the structure nor the starting lineup for almost the entire duration of the race, while the Old Lady had to do without Del Piero (released in 14 'of the shot to a tight left adductor) replaced by Kapo. Curiously, the accident involving the entertainer took place within the same minute in which the first portion of the game had made its network. Blasi for Appiah and Tudor Pessotto instead of just completed changes available to Capello. The technician Bohemian, meanwhile, waited until a few moments before the end of the game to enter Eremenko and Vucinic, author of the latter, at 44 ', of a dangerous conclusion that Buffon was very good to raise over the bar.
After the meeting the result of 1-0, Del Piero did not hide its satisfaction at the decisive implementation of the network: " I am not the type who lives looking for revenge, but when it happens to me I take . Zeman complained to the conditions of the pitch (" not talk about football when you play on a field in this condition, more correct to speak of a lottery. You should just play "), while Luciano Moggi - with a clear reference to the title by Juventus lost under the deluge of Perugia in May 2000 - approved the choice of the director notice: " The truth, of course, is only one: it is only fair play if Juve lose .
Madama thereby gaining another three points: on thirty-six available until then, he had accumulated thirty-one well. Capello was right: the league began to gain momentum.
And it was the Old Lady started the run to the title number eight. Article published on
