Juve chief cautious as Trez rejoices
David Trezeguet believes that Juventus’ draw with Roma proves the Bianconeri’s Scudetto credentials, but President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli isn’t so sure.
Trezeguet hit his 100th Serie A goal as the Old Lady grabbed a 2-2 draw with Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.
Claudio Ranieri’s men needed a last-gasp Vincenzo Iaquinta header to restore parity and could have been made to regret Alessandro Del Piero’s missed spot-kick in the 50th minute.
However, the Cadetti champions were the happier side after taking a precious point back to Turin and Trezeguet was understandably upbeat.
“This was a very important draw,” he enthused. “We came to Roma uncertain how the trident formation would work and we have sprung a surprise.
“We played well against the squad who play the best football in Italy. We kept believing right until the end and it was motivation that earned us a point.
“We have an excellent squad and we should fight for the Scudetto to the end. We don’t have European competition so we can work undisturbed in the week.”
Despite the buoyant mood at the final whistle, Juve chief Cobolli Gigli was keen to play down any talk of title aspirations and instead chose to praise the under-fire Del Piero.
“To win the Scudetto would be a miracle,” he insisted. “Del Piero missed a penalty, but he has scored so many in the past.
“He did so much right in the game and one spot-kick doesn’t change that. He has given, is giving and will always give his all for Juventus.”
Roma chief Rosella Sensi was less satisified with the result after seeing three points turn to one in the dying seconds.
“We were altogether the better side so there’s some disappointment at the draw,” she lamented.
“We need to learn from this as we had far more chances."
