the important is the goal and the victory. Maybe Alex dont play a great game, but he score the winner and that count.
Maybe Juve was some confindet about this game. The Belgians defend all the game, and they try one time i think beat Abbiati
Congratulations Alex, now you are the number one!

Another indifferent Juve performance against inferior opposition. The team just didn't seem interested in the first half and were content to knock the ball around in deep areas. Trezeguet hit the post from a lovely Chiellini cross while Nedved and Del Piero also threatened but the overall first half performance was lacklustre.
We were much better in the second half though. We completely dominated the possession and managed to create a number of good opportunities. DP missed a couple of good chances and Nedved, Emerson and Vieira saw shots go wide too but the game winning goal eventually, but not inevitably, came. Nedved's delivery from the right hand side was perfect and Del Piero headed home his 179th Juventus goal to send us through to the next round.
Our best players were IMO Zambrotta and Nedved. The former benefited from the fact that Club Brugge came to Turin to defend as he was able to get forward regularly. Combined nicely with Camoranesi, had the beating of the Brugge left back and came up with some nice crosses. Nedved was also very good and provided threats with his shooting, passing and crossing.
Trez had a pretty good first half but drifted out of the game in the second period. Only one chance fell his way and he hit the post on that occasion. DP was quiet in the first half but very active in the second half. He was our main danger man in terms of chances and got the goal. He missed the target about four times which was a positive because at least he found space and got into good positions, but negative because he was rather wasteful.
Chiellini didn't really convince me. He was pretty good defensively and crossed superbly for Trezeguet's first half header but that was his only good offensive delivery. Had some poor attempts at crosses. Camoranesi was good and Emerson and Vieira were ok. Thuram and Cannavaro were solid. They didn't really have much to deal with but responded well when called upon.
