Lippi backs Italian trio
Monday 3 April, 2006
Italy boss Marcello Lippi has confidently predicted that all three Italian teams will progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League this week.
While Milan and Inter can be considered as in a strong position to reach the last four, the tactician has backed former club Juventus to defeat Arsenal on aggregate.
“Juventus are capable of anything,” said the Viareggio-based tactician on Monday. “Therefore, they could overturn Arsenal’s lead.”
The Premiership giants are in pole position for qualification after winning the first leg 2-0 at Highbury last week.
To make matters worse for the Turin giants, Juve are without the suspended trio of Patrick Vieira, Mauro Camoranesi and Jonathan Zebina.
The London club have also been boosted today after Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Eboue both travelled to Turin today despite injury fears over the weekend.
As for the two San Siro giants, Lippi believes they should progress past Villarreal and Lyon on Tuesday night.
“I think that Milan and Inter have what is needed to get through to the next round,” continued the Azzurri boss.
Milan face Lyon at home after the 0-0 draw in France last week, while Inter take a 2-1 advantage to Villarreal. |
