Second Pre-Season Game This Evening
The Pinzolo training camp is about to end. After 10 days of work, Juventus are about to assess the situation so far. After all the hard work on the pitch and the first friendly last Friday against Mezzocorona (see relevant article), Ranieri's men will face their second pre-season test. The Bianconeri will play against Piacenza at the Briamasco Stadium in Trento at 8.30 pm tonight, with exclusive live TV coverage on Juventus Channel.
On paper, this looks be a more demanding test than the first one, considering the opponents' superior quality. Claudio Ranieri, as announced yesterday, should be playing the same starting-line up as he did against Mezzocorona. During the match, Trezeguet, Tiago and Marchionni, who have all recovered from their injuries, will come on alongside Mellberg and Grygera.
The team reach tonight's game after a last training session this morning in Pinzolo and especially after a very special evening. An evening... at high altitude. The whole squad went up 2,100 metres by cable car to reach the magnificent FIAT Chalet (Dosson mountain resort, above Madonna di Campiglio) where they had a traditional local meal in the stunning picturesque setting, just as they did last year. It was a chance to bond together before facing what promises to be a long and tough season of football.
