Samp thrash Juve 4-0
Friday 6 October, 2006
Juventus missed their internationals during today’s 4-0 friendly defeat to Sampdoria, but there was good news from Gianluca Pessotto’s visit.
The Bianconeri were without their top stars, such as Gianluigi Buffon, Alessandro Del Piero and David Trezeguet, for the test in Alessandria.
Francesco Flachi is sitting out a two-match ban for a betting scandal, but fired in Angelo Palombo’s cross in the first minute to open the scoring.
Fabio Bazzani was left unmarked for their second, Fabio Quagliarella’s angled drive made it 3-0 and Da Mota’s tap-in sealed the scoreline.
Juventus may have floundered with essentially their youth team on show, but there was reason for celebration in Turin.
Former Bianconeri defender and director Pessotto paid a visit to the club headquarters from the nearby Fornaca clinic where he is continuing the recovery process.
Pessotto was fighting for his life over the summer after falling from the roof of the Juventus offices in a suicide attempt.
He arrived in his wheelchair accompanied by wife Reana and friend Marco Durante before meeting directors Blanc, Giovanni Cobolli Gigli and Alessio Secco in the trophy room.
