Just several weeks into the summer transfer window Juventus sealed the deal for Swiss defender
Stephan Lichtsteiner from Lazio for a fee of 10 million euros. Although the other summer signing,
Andrea Pirlo, has received most the praise so far this season, Lichtsteiner has arguably been the
more consistent of the two.

San Siro on Wednesday night. Max Allegri's side enter this match on the up after their impressive
3-0 win over Palermo last weekend. Robinho's return seemed to help dispense with the lethargic and
predictable side we had seen in the [.
Few would have thought before the season started that come round 6 Milan would enter the match
against Palermo in 15th place on the table while the Sicilians – Javier Pastore-less – would be
sitting pretty in fourth. But, so it is after the club's worst start to the Serie A since 1997. Max

club competition, the Champions League. The greatest recent memory was the year of 2007. Italian

league. Forget the Azzurri's triumph in [.
Pre-season fun and games AC Milan defender Gianluca Zambrotta likes to do his bit to help his
team-mates get ready for the knocks and bumps of the forthcoming campaign. With that in mind, the
veteran full-back was only to happy to blast the ball at fellow defender Mario Yepes from
point-blank range during their training [.
In what has become a habit for Juventus, the Bianconeri dropped two points and settled for a
draw with Catania. Juve could not defend a 2-0 lead over the visitors who have yet to register

when the legendary but aging Alessandro Del Piero is the main source of creativity for the
team.

named a 19-man squad for the tie.
Allegri is without Gianluca Zambrotta, Massimo Ambrosini, Andrea Pirlo and Filippo Inzaghi,
while former Spur Kevin Prince-Boateng will also miss out.
The Milan chief has stated that he respects Spurs and is wary of the threat that they pose:
"Aaron Lennon is a very quick and intelligent player, Peter Crouch is a good player too so we will
need to be careful.
