“This is a victory by Antonio Conte and for Antonio Conte,” said Giuseppe Marotta shortly after the final whistle. His words sum up Juve's latest triumph perfectly, three months on from the Scudetto success.

The absence of the coach, who was in the stands due to suspension, provided added motivation for the players as they overcame Napoli at the end of a hard-fought encounter. Marotta also commented on the Partenopei's decision to abandon the award ceremony on the pitch in Beijing: “We were hard done by in the Coppa Italia final, with that penalty that wasn't given to Marchisio, yet we didn't kick up a fuss, we accepted the defeat. But the only thing we're interested in today is this win. An impeccable victory that was prepared for impeccably throughout the week by our coach. Are we still on the hunt for a top player? That's just a term people use. How would you define players like Asamoah, who scored a fantastic goal today, Pirlo and Buffon? We're working hard to strengthen the squad that won the league last season and who have lifted the Super Cup today.”

This guy has done an outstanding job! Along with Conte, he has taken us to the top of Serie A with a squad that other coaches only dream of. With a few good additions here and there, in a few years teams will tremble to face us in the Champions League and Serie A will still be a walk in the park. In regards to signing our 'Top player', there is only so much he can do. Serie A has lost its charm and with Conte's ban, it won't be easy to attract players like Van Persie, Dzeko etc..

It is easy when you have the money, and we do have the money to sign top players.

We've spent around 40 mil this summer and 80 mil last, add another 60 mil for 2010/11 season and that will take the total to 180 mil in just 3 years !

Both Madrid and Barca haven't even spend that much in the past 3 years, only City, PSG and Chelsea have spent more in Europe.

I don't care what the situation is in Serie A these days but as long as a club has the money (PSG for example) they can sign almost "any" player out there. As simple as that.
