This year, instead of pulling in a host of players to try and build up, Juventus has decided to purchase a few key, high-caliber players that are certain to bring their expertise to the game. Given the strength that our team is dis- playing at this point, it seems like this tactic was right on the ball (no pun in- tended).

We at zeb were so excited about the launch of our first issue that you can only imagine how happy were when family, friends and members showed up at the Club Headquarters in order to show their support. There was food (thanks to Lanterna Ristorante), con- versation, zebras to colour, prizes to give away, and all around gen- eral merriment. The feedback we received was amazing - thank you! That solidified our belief that this magazine project was not only worthwhile but necessary in order encourage a closer bond between Juventus Club DOC Toronto members, juventini in general and those within our community. Thank you to everyone who came out to see us and who have read and supported zeb maga- zine!

Many organizations have ways to honour those whom they believe exemplify the traits for which the organization stands. It’s for this reason that we have now instituted a zeb magazine -Wall of Fame. Members will be able to vote for a Juventus player, past or present, who they believe shows true juventinitá, that is, passion for the game and the necessary skill to demonstrate his gifts on the field. For this issue we begin our inductee process by naming as worthy of placement on our Wall of Fame.

You can vote (and give us a reason why) for your preferred inductee on the zeb magazine-Wall of Fame by "When other players run, he stands still. When other e-mailing us at [email protected] players do the predictable, he creates. When other or mailing us at Juve Mag, 48 Sonny St., players are stressed, he keeps his cool."

Libra - September 24 - October 23

You work well within a group and you know it. Remember, though, that you can’t al- ways wait around for others to do the work for you; you must contribute your own part. Follow your instinct when it comes to relationships be- cause, even though you feel that you can’t trust your- self, you actually do know what’s better for you. You cannot hide within the group forever; it’s time to start Libras: (Oct 4), making your mark. David Trezeguet (Oct 15), Nicola Legrottaglie (Oct 20)

Scorpio - October 24 - November 22

Your mood can stretch to both extremes and that starts to worry those around you. It’s not necessary to hold a grudge; some things are just not that important. Your unique personality will draw people to you but it will ulti- mately be what pushes them away. Remember that you do not always have to be in control in order to be happy. Sometimes the happiness comes in giving others their own responsibilities and Scorpios: Vincenzo Iaquinta (Nov 1) allowing them to fulfill them for you. Alessandro Del Piero (Nov 9)

Sagittarius - November 23 - December 22

It's time that you stopped looking at people who want to be a part of your life as impediments to your independence. Independent does not have to mean alone. You can have both worlds. Talk to people with the same straightfor- wardness that you expect from them and you may be surprised at how understanding they can be. If they aren't as responsive as you would like them to be, use the power of your words to soften them and then try to find a middle ground that you can all be happy Sagittarius: with. The sharing of experiences won't mean less for you, it will mean more for everyone. Fabio Grosso (Nov 28)

Capricorn - December 23 - January 20

Just because you are always the responsible one does not mean that others cannot be trusted with their tasks. Give people a chance and you may be surprised at how capable they can be. Other people lean on you for support. Make sure that you are there for them to lend a helping hand, not to pass judgment on their failings.

Capricorns: Hasan Salihamidzic (Jan 1), Claudio Marchisio(Jan 20) JUVE FACT: Juventus was the first soccer club to wear the Golden Stars for Sport Excellence, the two stars above the team crest. The two stars represent every 10 league championships won by the team, the first coming in 1958 and the second in 1982

36 zeb 1.2

Aquarius - January 21 - February 19

You are sometimes frightened by your own spontaneity but that’s the quality that makes you so liked by others. Don’t use this as a crutch, take advantage of all that your independence has to offer. Your lifestyle enables you to harvest wisdom from those who you encounter and that will help you in all your future endeavours. Your ability to think outside the box will enable you to stand out from the crowd.

Pisces - February 20- March 20

What you crave is to escape but it’s important that you focus your energy on the here and now. Living too much in he ―what ifs‖ will lead you down a path of sure disappointment. Look to those around you to guide you because they are often more capable of seeing straight than you are. When they look to you, lend a helping hand, but refrain from making their problems your own. Eve- ryone has a capacity and you should make sure you don’t take on too much for yourself .

Aries - March 21 - April 20

You find yourself being moody and lashing out. Realize that this is because of your underlying insecu- rity and not because the world is against you. Take time for yourself instead of constantly giving to oth- ers. If you push yourself too much then you will start pulling back from everyone and then you will start feeling guilty. Your vitality is your strongpoint so use that to foster relationships and realize that you have a lot to offer.

Taurus - April 21 - May 21

You like to follow the leader but don’t use that as an excuse to shirk your responsibilities. Your reac- tions tend to be to extremes: either you blow up over it or you are frightened into passivity. It’s time that you learned to mitigate those feelings into something more productive. You have the perse- verance in you to grasp a task and stick to it and it’s time that you started utilizing that skill.

Gemini - May 22 - June 21

Now is the best time to relax and take a breather. You like to think that you are independent but you know inside that what you crave is the comfort of other people. Open up and let people in. During this period, try to keep your emotions in check because you may find that the smallest things set you off. Remember, it doesn’t always have to be a confrontation, sometimes it can be a learning curve.

Cancer - June 22 - July 22

Your oversensitivity to other people's reactions results in any criticism of you appearing harsh. It's time that you stop looking to others to validate you. You know your own worth and you have the determi- nation to make things happen. Calm your mind and look inside yourself to find what's really impor- tant to you instead of following what others say is best. Even when you know that you're right, look at situation from the other's point of you and then you might better understand what they are going through, without overreacting.

Leo - July 23 -August 21

People are attracted to you because of your vivacity and zest for life. However, your overconfidence sometimes gets in the way of your relationships. Learn to temper your attitude with some humility in order to soften your initial impression. You are always at your best when you have a project at hand so make sure to keep yourself busy.

Virgo - August 22 - September 23

You doubt other people and are skeptical of their intentions. However, what’s worse is that you doubt yourself. Stop analyzing things beyond recognition. Sometimes issues are just straightfor- ward and simple; stop complicating them. People often look to you for advise because of your logic: use that gift to help people instead of scrutinizing them.

In the past sixteen editions of the awards, it had been won by strikers and have been Gary Lineker (1991, third), Alan seven times each, making outfield players (with the exception of Shearer (1996, third), David Beckham (1999 and defenders), a more popular choice for the award. It is surmised that strikers 2001, both second) and Frank Lampard (2005, and midfielders hoard most of the glory in competitions, therefore their second). chances are higher than defenders and goalkeepers. 8.
