Capello: Juve earned it
Wednesday 9 March, 2005
Fabio Capello maintains Juve fully deserved to knock Real Madrid out of the Champions’ League after 210 minutes of tense football.
“It is a deserved result and we played well against an opponent that had a real desire to get a victory here,” noted the Juventus boss after their 2-1 aggregate win.
“We also created plenty of chances, but unfortunately weren’t able to make more of them. Real’s only real opportunities were that Ronaldo upright and Roberto Carlos free kick.”
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Mauro Camoranesi and Marcelo Zalayeta were wasteful in front of goal, but substitute David Trezeguet scored the crucial strike that took this tie to extra time.
“Trezeguet still isn’t 100 per cent fit and we agreed to put him in later because he is more effective when the tempo begins to drop,” revealed Capello.
The tactician made a surprise choice when he replaced captain Alessandro Del Piero with Trezeguet after just 55 minutes of play.
“Zalayeta works harder and is a more valuable asset in the air. Del Piero did his job, just as everyone else did, as this was a game where everyone had to come together for the result.”
There are now no Spanish representatives in the quarter-finals, while Juventus and Milan could be joined by Inter when they play their second leg tie against Porto next week.
“Over the two legs I definitely think we deserved to qualify. Real play well in the middle of the park, but I’d say we were clearly the better side,” concluded Capello.
Gianluca Pessotto stepped into the full-back role so that Gianluca Zambrotta could fill in for the injured Pavel Nedved.
“The team performance was at a great level and it’s one of those nights that make football worth playing,” said the defender. “We were aware of the difficulties, but Juventus have proved they want to go all the way in this competition.”
Pessotto revealed that Capello had predicted the tie would go to extra time and his tactical plans were based on that theory.
“The Coach said that we should attack, but not leave space at the back, as this was going to be a long game and the breakthrough could come at any moment. Real still created a few chances, but I’d say Juve were a step above tonight.”
“Our patience was the key, as we didn’t get nervous as the clock kept on ticking and maintained our concentration until we reaped what we sowed. We knew conceding a goal would mean going out, so the whole team performance was magnificent.”

I don't think so.del piero played very good tongiht.we just had to put a striker , as zalayeta was doing great job, and zlatan was the bomb to explode I feel bad for Alex but he did a great job

I feel bad for Alex but he did a great job
by the way man of the match was undoubtably CAmoranesi
He ran the most. Zlatan was good too but he was so inefficient in front of goal. For a striker he should have done much better. That is the differnece between him and trez (trez is a deadly finisher, unlike zlatan who complictes things)
but tonight isn't the right time to complaint, the whole team did great
lets enjoy the victory and I have e feeling that we are going to enjoy it even more in the weekend when we win in chievo and milan are held by sampdoria
FORZA JUVE
