Trez Pads His Stats In The Minors

Things seem to be going just swimmingly for David Trezeguet, he just can't stop scoring. The Frenchman's goals, which saw his total rise to five in three matches, secured the points today at Piacenza as Juventus registered their fourth straight victory. Boss Didier Deschamps said that Trezeguet's "always there in front of goal and he rarely misses a chance. As finishers go, he’s the best in the business". This all comes on the heels of the forward's call up for France's Euro '08 games against Scotland and the Faroe Islands.

As for Juve, the result moves them to 15 points behind leaders Brescia. The Serie B table toppers were only able to grind out a draw at home against Albinoleffe. The Bianconeri welcome Sampdoria on Friday for a friendly. Since a large contingent of Juve players are expected to be called for international duty next week, the October 8th game against Brescia has now been pushed to November 1st.

Juve’s demotion to Serie B could cause further problems in the future, so a meeting has been called on Tuesday. The Lega Calcio will discuss a new rule automatically rescheduling Serie B games when a team has more than a certain number of players called up for international duty.
