Del Piero Invites Juve To Play Perfect Match
3/7/2005 4:42:00 PM
The Bianconeri’s captain encouraged his team mates to play their best game of the season against Real Madrid on Wednesday night.
For Juventus the Wednesday night match at the Delle Alpi will have a fundamental effect on the remainder of the season. A win could be a great boost for the final rush both in the Scudetto and Champions League, whilst a defeat might be detrimental for the morale of the squad.
Alessandro Del Piero has therefore come out to motivate the Old Lady ahead of this all-important clash by inspiring his team mates to play the game of the season.
“We are called to give our best and even more. Qualifying for the next round will only be possible with a perfect match.”
‘Pinturicchio’ also commented on last Saturday’s ‘battle’ between Roma and Juve at the Olimpico, which produced a very technically poor encounter due to the high tension on the pitch.
“The match was nervous and there were too many fouls. The expectation and tension on the pitch produced 72 fouls in the end; too many for a football game.”

David Beckham is a doubt for Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League clash in Juventus.
The Spanish giants hold a slender 1-0 advantage from the first leg in Madrid but may have to face the Italians without the England captain.
Beckham was substituted during the second half of Real's 1-1 draw in Valencia on Saturday night due to a back injury - which could rule him out of the big game in Italy.
"Today [Saturday] I woke up and I could feel my back," said Beckham.
"For some reason I had to have a lot of work and injections on it before the game.
"I didn't have full movement before the game started.
"We'll have to see how it is tomorrow and take it from there."

do you think it would be better for juve to go 1-0 up in the first 10 mins or so or take later in the game after the hour mark, because maybe if we score to early we sit back and give real a chance to control and come at us, but if we score later maybe we push on for the win, just wondering what people in here think
