Juve Supporters Abandon Del Piero


Juve Supporters Abandon Del Piero

Juventus fans have been selecting their preferred starting XI for next season, and there is no place for symbolic captain Alessandro Del Piero.

The readers of Juventus fan website VecchiaSignora.com have been having their say again ahead of the new season.

With Claudio Ranieri and the club hierarchy having announced that the summer spending, barring a reserve goalkeeper, is now over, the supporters have been voting for who should be in their preferred starting XI.

Unsurprisingly, Buffon is chosen as goalkeeper, with Chiellini winning most votes in defence (25%), partnered by Legrottaglie (17%), with Grygera at right back (11.5%) and De Ceglie on the other side (12.5%).

In midfield, Sissoko wins the most votes (25%), with Zanetti as his right hand man, the veteran boasting a narrow 1.5% advantage (15.5% to 14%) over new signing Poulsen.

On the flanks Camoranesi has a monopoly on the right (17%), with 36-year-old veteran Nedved (11.5%) on the left.

The remainder of the midfielders only picked up a handful of votes; Marchionni (0.5%), Giovinco from trequartista (4%), Tiago (1.5%) or Marchisio (1.5%).

The biggest talking point is upfront where symbolic captain Del Piero (29%) is snubbed in favour of a forward partnership of Trezeguet (35%) and Amauri (30%). Fourth attacker Iaquinta picked up just a miserly 3% of the votes.
