Kaka needs to rest. He has been playing constantly lately!
Yeah, that would be a good idea.
I think we should rest some key players for this one. Kaka, Pirlo, Paolo, Oddo and even maybe Seedorf.
We should play something like this
Cafu--Nesta--Bonera--Sergio
---Brocchi--Ambro--Yoann---
---Ronaldo--Gilardino--Oli---
I think this will be enough for Empoli, if not we have a good enough bench to inflict some damage on them.
Nesta needs to continue to regain match fitness so playing is a must. Bonera will slip back into the CB position. Sergio needs to be fit for Bayern, I think he can be decisive for us in that one. And Cafu did well against Roma and I think is enough for Empoli.
We'll basically be resting our entire midfield this way, but they need it, and we an't have them burn out before 90 minutes again in the second leg.
Gila can be supported by R9 and Oli in this one without the need of a playmaker.
If we don't manage to break the dead lock within 60 minutes then I would bring on Pirlo and Kaka, but if we manage to win without them it would be great.
