2003 have started and Serie A is reaching an important moment, the end of the first leg: from now on all the matches will be more and more important. A sensation that is felt by all the teams, Juventus included.
“This is the moment where we feel some kind of sensations – Marcelo Lippi confirmed – I feel them and I try to pass them to the guys. And, infact, I bothered them quite a lot in the last days. It’s the moment to “slap”, not “being slapped”, obviously speaking with a “football” meaning. We’ve got to give everything we can. We have to start giving answers to ourselves to understand if we can win again this year. Each Sunday the Serie A asks who’s going to win the league, each week there’s a poll and we want to answer”.
The bianconero coach will look for the first answers at Bentegodi. The first leg of Serie A for the Bianconeri will end in the stadium of a team considered by everyone a team able to win the Scudetto, Chievo. A team quite respected by Lippi: “I confirm what I already said before: Chievo is neither a miracle nor a phenomen. It’s the result of hard work and good planning. They’ve been working a lot in the last years, even before Del Neri’s arrival. The players, the ones of the last two years, are very good. And the coach is able to obtain the best from them.Through planning, seriousness, work, competence of the coach and skill of the players it is easy to reach good results”.
“The team plays quickly and is good in conquering the spaces on the pitch – Lippi added – This year the team is a bit different, more careful in defence, with taller players and that’s why they allow less goals and score some more in comparison with the last year. They’re more practical, with another year of experience, they know how to deal with certain situations. They’ve surely grown alot and when a team have these features, you can’t expect an easy game”.
