Thuram: "We have to concentrate"
Lilian Thuram today spoke to journalists about Juve's preperation for their challenge with Arsenal on Wednesday night, and was typically confident in his response: "It will be difficult but not impossible. The beautiful thing about football is that nothing can ever be taken for granted, there's everyhting still to play for. We have to try and score as early as possible, then we must concentrate and pay a great deal of attention." Above all, Juventus must not lose their focus on Henry: "He is a fantstic player when he has space, we must try and give him the least possible."
He was also keen to stress that it was the team as a whole and not one individual player who would have to be on form if Juventus were to overcome their 2-0 deficit: "The difference won't be made by one player but by the whole group, the spirt of the squad."
This spirit was perfectly summarised by Del Piero. Although he will be unavailable for this match, he took Thuram to one side in after training and simply said:
"See you in the semi-final..."
I just simply love dp! Come back!!!
