ZENIT (4-3-3): Malafeev; Anyukov, Lombaerts, Krizanac, Sirl; Denisov, Tymoshchuk, Zyrianov; Danny, Progrebnyak, Arshavin.
Here is the starting eleven formation for Juventus by Coach Claudio Ranieri:
JUVENTUS (4-4-2): Manninger; Grygera, Mellberg, Chiellini, Molinaro; Camoranesi, Sissoko, Marchisio, Nedved; Iaquinta, Del Piero.
Surprise for Juventus with the decision of Juventus Coach Claudio Ranieri with the turnover of using forward Vincenzo Iaquinta over Amauri. Del Piero as expected leading the troup as Captain and symbol of Juventus. I am happy to see Mauro Camoranesi in the startig lineup too in place of Marchionni.
Guys from Zenit the one I fear is Arshavin!
Whatever happened on the way from Italy to Russia with goals? Well, guys, it seems that arriving in Russia converted Juventus hot goals into FROZEN ice creams. Despite trying and hitting the post, Juve could not score.
Yet, I don't panic and you should not be worried either because Juve showed a great match and goalkeeper Alexander Manninger kept a clean sheet. Juventus is still the leader of the group with 11 points.
