Again an excellent Del Piero. At Juve’s fourth official match, Alex scored his third double, in Empoli. Just like last week against Atalanta. A great start, similar to last year’s one: “Yes, these matches went quite well. I think that in comparison with the previous years, we’re scoring more goals. I’m happy about that. Three forwards? It’s one of the many solution we can use, I’d say we can be satisfied”.
Lippi used three forwards: Del Piero, Di Vaio and Salas all together at the Castellani stadium. It was a solution that surprised many people and the coach explained : “I’ve been thinking about it the last two days. I wanted to play an aggressive match, trinyg to keep Empoli on the defense. I’d say we haven’t run many risks during the match. In the first half, apart from the goal, we had other chances for scoring. The second half was nearly the same. A good match. The important things was the result, because it won’t be easy for anyone to come and win here We have to go on like this, with the same enthusiasm”.
Enthusiasm is the key word among blakcandwhites. It can be noticed from the performances of the team, which never gives up and that always tries to win: “The psychogical approach is important. Winnig the Scudetto gave us enthusiasm and a lot of self-confidence. Then, this year, we started straight with the Supercup and other good matches. This group has a prerogative: it never loses the will of doing important things and, above all, of working hard”.

Among the many noteworthy things of Juventus, there’s surely the great job made by the defense. Two matches without conceding any goals, to be added to the five and a half of last year’s Serie A campaign , making that a total of nearly 700 minutes. And, if the defense plays like this and Del Piero and the other teammates score, Juventus will keep on flying. Mark Iuliano is aware of this. “We, the defenders, have known each other for a long time, we’re close friends even outside of the football ground and this is a fundamental thing to give our best also on the pitch. I was coming back from injury and my teammates have helped me a lot. If we are aware of our strenght? We’ve always been.”
