Despite scoring in Juventus’ 4-0 thrashing of the Chinese Olympic side on Sunday, captain Alessandro Del Piero claims there is work to be done.
“Today’s game was a step in the right direction and I’m happy with how things are going so far, but I still need to improve,” the 32-year-old told gathered reporters after the game.
The talismanic Bianconero has been blighted by injury problems this summer, but he shrugged off any niggles to play a key role in the Old Lady’s comfortable victory over weak opposition.
“It was a good way to finish the camp in Pinzolo,” Alex continued. “Inter scored three against this side, so I’m hoping that when we play the Nerazzurri it will be 4-3!”
Meanwhile, out-of-favour midfielder Giuliano Giannichedda is reportedly close to sealing a move to Livorno.
The ex-Lazio man controversially stormed out of pre-season training after he wasn’t selected for Sunday’s match and is believed to have already agreed personal terms with the Labronici.
