Capello eyes Euro glory Tuesday 2 August, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus boss Fabio Capello has again underlined that his club are focused on winning the Champions’ League this term.

The tactician has won numerous honours in recent years at Milan, Real Madrid, Roma and now Juventus.

But Capello, regarded as one of the best on the planet, hasn’t tasted a Champions’ League Final for over 10 years – since Milan’s 4-0 destruction of Barcelona.

"We want to reach the final in Paris," said the Coach. "However, that is a desire shared by the other great European clubs.

"Winning the European Cup is a target wanted by the likes of Milan, Inter, Real, Barcelona and Chelsea.

"But you can’t just focus on one objective," he added. "Especially when you take into consideration the squad which is available to you."

Meanwhile, the Old Lady of Italian football continued their pre-season with a 6-2 win over Biellese.

David Trezeguet grabbed a hat-trick, Alex Del Piero netted a brace with one penalty, while Adrian Mutu got the other.

There are also whispers in Turin this morning that star midfielder Emerson wants to extend his contract at the club.

He was again linked with a move to Real Madrid this summer but the Brazilian, signed from Roma last term, sees his future at the Delle Alpi.

Winning the Champions' League would be a dream, what we really need is luck, above all else.

The luck of the draw especially.

Capello and I are eyeing the same thing it appears.

Yeah, luck does play a part, though I just hope moggi gets us that creative spark we still need + a bit more pace in the side, then I'd really be optimistic about our chances.

welcome JRulez...I'm sure you will enjoy more if you post here

I saw an interview with Cap about 2 years ago on newspaper that he said at the begining of the season he thinks he just wanna win the CL but during the season he feels that he don't mind winning it just if his team win the Scudetto.

Ideally we'll win both, but damn I want the Champions League!

Not as weird as the pointless annual "Your priority: CL or Scudetto?" question that all the coaches of the best Serie A teams get asked and have to answer year after year after year.

This dance is so old, it's not even worth bothering with anymore.
