Deschamps: “Happy for Alex”
“In the first half we made a lot of mistakes. We improved in the second half though and the players that came on gave the team a great boost”. Didier Deschamps was delighted after the victory over Frosinone, secured late on by captain Del Piero’s 200th goal for Juventus. “I’m really happy for Alex. He’s been looking for this goal for a while and with it he handed us the win. When a player like him takes to the field, you can always expect something which will have a positive outcome on the game”. The journalists had a whole host of questions for the coach, most of them relating to Alex and his latest record. “It’s right it should be like this - commented Deschamps - He’s a champion with a very public appeal and this can occasionally weigh him down. But as long as he responds with performances like this, that’s fine by me”. With yesterday’s arbitration and the win against Frosinone, the Bianconeri suddenly find themselves with an extra eleven championship points. “As it happens, I’ve never collected so many points in just two days - smiled the boss – The outcome of the arbitration clearly demonstrates that the original sentence was too harsh. Our jump up the table might have more of an effect on the other teams than us, as we perhaps weren’t as feared before the reduction”. Wednesday night’s clash with Brescia will be this season’s first direct encounter with one of the top teams. “Yes, but now our position has changed somewhat, we can approach the game with a different spirit. Before we would have had to win at all costs, without any margin for error. Now it’s an important game which of course we’re looking to win, but which is still worth 'only’ three points”.
