PETR CECH |
| Often tagged as the “second-best keeper in the world” (now down to third with Casillas, get over it Chelsea fans), Petr Cech has now the opportunity to go neck-in-neck with the nº1 guy, aka Gigi Buffon. His season so far has not been absolutely stellar, but the Czech keeper has made some key saves for the Blues and put his darkest moments of form behind him. Now he will have to face off against the headers of Amauri and the free-kicks of Del Piero. |
| GIANLUIGI BUFFON |  |
| After putting 2008 (and all the associated back strains and muscular problems behind him), Buffon took back his nº1 spot between the Bianconeri posts. And Juve will need every ounce of his talent, because every intervention, anticipation, save and mistake can be capital for the final victory. |
 |
JOSÉ BOSINGWA |
| Felipe Scolari may be gone, but the right-back he left to Guus Hiddink is among the world’s elite in that category. Bosingwa can push forward, cross, and even shoot from the distance. Sometimes however he falls asleep during the defensive phase, especially on man-on-man marking instances. |
| ZDENEK GRYGERA |  |
| Now steadily employed by Ranieri as right full-back, the Czech player distinguishes himself essentially with his reliability: this star may not shine very brightly but it rarely has had any “off” days. And we can’t really expect him to play like Maicon, but Grygera be put to many other uses (including playing on the left or in the center). |
 |
JOHN TERRY |
| Despite still solidly occupying the heart of the Blues defense, the Chelsea & England captain hasn’t been playing his best season (at least so far). And one has to wonder whether all of his Champions League appearances aren’t still marred by that penalty miss in last year’s final. |
| NICOLA LEGROTTAGLIE |  |
| Through his top-notch Bianconeri performances Legrottaglie has also conquered the Italian national team back. Years may be going by, but his physique, experience, and spiritual faith (yes, religion) are helping him keep his playing level to high par. With Chiellini, he makes up one of Serie A’s most solid defensive pairs: a good test against the likes of Drogba & Anelka. |
 |
RICARDO CARVALHO |
| Much like Terry, this hasn’t been Carvalho’s best season (a few injury & teamwork problems during the Scolari era are to blame). He’s still one of the world’s best center-backs though, and if he’s healthy the Bianconeri strikers will have one hell of a time against him. He will skip the first leg at Stamford Bridge though. |
| GIORGIO CHIELLINI |  |
| His return to full fitness is absolutely fundamental for Juve’s qualifying chances: “Keyser Giorgio” often provides an insurmountable obstacle for opposing attacks. With great personality & intelligence, he dominates his center-back position and is likely to do so for many years to come also in the Italian national team. |
 |
ASHLEY COLE |
| Offensively, Ashley Cole’s performances have always been quite satisfying (both with Chelsea & the Three Lions). Defensively however, the ex-Gunners wing-back has been accumulating a few mistakes too many, and Blues fans are still waiting to see the player that was roaming and dominating his wing during his time at Arsenal. |
| CRISTIAN MOLINARO |  |
| Debates on this Salernitana youth-team product are raging and the verdict’s far from being out: some think he’s not Juve material, others praise his recent progress, physical efforts & defensive work (I am in the latter category). The match against Chelsea is a good opportunity to prove what he’s worth. |
| GIANLUIGI BUFFON | |
| After putting 2008 (and all the associated back strains and muscular problems behind him), Buffon took back his nº1 spot between the Bianconeri posts. And Juve will need every ounce of his talent, because every intervention, anticipation, save and mistake can be capital for the final victory. |
