Nedved: Juve 'Truly Love' Ranieri
Goal.com
After a sluggish spell, Juventus have finally returned to winning ways and Czech star Pavel Nedved explains why he gave coach Claudio Ranieri a big hug after the final whistle.
The Bianconeri were coming off a terrible run of results, including two consecutive defeats in Serie A against Palermo and Napoli and failure to register a victory since the 1-0 at Cagliari on September 21.
However, an impressive performance against Spanish champions Real Madrid in the Champions League in midweek and the Derby success over arch-rivals Torino have eased the pressure on the embattled ex-Chelsea boss.
"That hug was significant," Nedved told the Gazzetta dello Sport. "I ran toward him in order to answer all that was alleged over the past few weeks.
"We badly wanted this win for our fans and also ourselves, but most of all we wanted it for him, as he always supported us. We truly love him."
A fantastic solo effort by Brazilian hitman Amauri soon after the restart proved enough to edge out the Granata at the Stadio Olimpico, but the Old Lady continue to be plagued by injuries as Zdenek Grygera and Hasan Salihamidžic both picked up muscular problems.
"I asked to be replaced at half time, for I felt pain in my knee following Aimo Diana's foul," admitted the 36-year-old.
"However, Grygera and Salihamidžic were both injured, hence I was forced to hang on. But now I am even more eager to play in Bologna next Wednesday."

Ranieri: «We must repeat ourselves»
«We must continue earning points and recovering our injured players». According to Claudio Ranieri, this is what Juve need to come out of a delicate situation related to the injuries that have decimated the squad. Many players will be missing in Bologna too. In view of this, a question about Camoranesi was a given: «Yesterday he trained with us for the first time since the injury and he's recovering, but obviously he won't be able to play the whole 90 minutes. In periods where you play a lot, if players are missing it hits you harder. I'd like to give some rest to those who are playing constantly, but I'll be able to do so only if I realize that those who are recovering from their injuries are fit enough to play».
One of the possible names for midfield in the line-up to face Bologna is the youngster Ekdal: «That's one option – Ranieri confirmed – The lad has excellent qualities, he buckles down and has a good future in front of him. By playing more often he'd improve a lot more still, but this is the same thing I say about Giovinco: when things are going well it's easier to put the younger players in than when there are problems»
This is how the Bianconeri's Manager introduced Juve's opponents in tomorrow's clash: «Bologna are a team that get all fired up when they face the big clubs, as demonstrated by their wins over AC Milan and Lazio. The latter match for example was significant, as the Rossoblu attacked the other team relentlessly. Bologna have doubts about their strength and they want to raise their confidence. It'll be tough, but we need to go there and play like we know, authoritatively and with a strong desire to do our best to get through this delicate situation caused by all the injuries»

Ranieri expects fierce Felsinei
Tuesday 28 October, 2008
Juventus Coach Claudio Ranieri isn't taking anything for granted ahead of the Old Lady's trip to Bologna tomorrow.
The Bianconeri have just come through a tough period and are on a high after triumphing over Real Madrid and winning the Derby della Mole against Torino.
Bologna, on the other hand, were beaten by Sampdoria last weekend and have managed to pick up just six points all season.
But Ranieri, who has a heavily depleted squad at his disposal, is wary of the Rossoblu threat.
“The game against Bologna will be tremendously difficult,” Ranieri claimed.
“They are a team that fight hard, especially against the bigger teams - you just have to see how they performed away to Milan and at home to Lazio.
“Considering all the injuries that we have, the points we can get now are important,” the former Chelsea tactician continued.
“We arrive at this game after two excellent performances and we want to continue along those lines.
“Our objective remains to improve on last season's finish and to do well in the Champions League.
“At the moment we have two more points than we had at this stage last year.”
Azzurri winger Mauro Camoranesi is ready to return, but he isn't 100 per cent.
“He is in the process of recovery,” Ranieri explained. “It's good news that he is back, but he isn't in perfect condition yet.”

--------------------
The bolded part is not true at all. We played 8 rounds so far and we have 12 pts. Ranieri says that we have 2 more pts than we had at this stage last season, but these are the results of the opening 8 rounds last year :
1. H Livorno 5:1 (3pts)
2. A Cagliari 3:2 (3pts)
3. H Udinese 0:1 (0 pts)
4. A Roma 2:2 (1pt)
5. H Reggina 4:0 (3 pts)
6. A Torino 1:0 (3pts)
7. A Fiorentina 1:1 (1pt)
8. H Genoa 1:0 (3pts)
We had 17 pts at this stage last year and it's 5 pts more than what we have now. With last year's record in the opening 8 rounds we'd have been serie A leaders now.
