JUVE
are back
at the top
where they
belong
It was a satisfied Didier Deschamps who commented on the victory against Lecce: “I was really pleased with the team’s attitude. It’s great to see De Ceglie score, Venitucci play with personality and character… The youngsters and the champions together form a formidable group.
Apart from Bojinov and Palladino, who have already played in Serie A, you need to let the youngsters grow with patience”. And speaking of Bojinov: “The first goal gave him confidence, seeing as he’d had a few problems in the first half. He’s young though, he just needs to improve his build-up play”.
An analysis of the game: “We had a couple of chances in the first half. Lecce showed they are a quality side which likes to keep possession. We had the right mentality out there and after going a goal down, we believed in ourselves and turned things round”. Deschamps looked forward to the trip to Genoa. The journalists asked whether he’d have any players back in time: “I don’t think so, I’d say we’ll have to wait another week”. Then a run-down of the Bianconeri’s next opponents: Genoa create a lot of play, they conceded three goals from three shots last night but they dominated the game. Even if they haven’t had positive results of late, it’s a technical side that plays well”.
Tribute to Romeo the Kit Man
And finally a thought for Romeo, our kit-man who passed away two days ago: “All the players that knew him, including myself, will remember him with great affection. He’s someone who dedicated their life to Juventus, and as a person, he was extraordinary”.
