JUVENTUS 3:0 ROMA
Come with me if you will to January 24, to the Coppa match against scary A.S. Roma. The Giallorossi had just come off a 5-1 pounding of lowly Cesena whereas the Zebes were worried that their non-losing streak might come to an end. Some of us hoped that we might see some lost boys in the line-up, given that it was a Coppa match. However, Bunny favorites Vincenzo and the Green-Eyed Gorilla of Love were nowhere to be seen in any of the photos of the January training sessions, so it looked unlikely that either would appear. Would Conte play to win?
