October 28th 2009, Juventus v Sampdoria 5-1
What a victory!
The match against Sampdoria brought back great optimism, the team did its best and the result compliments the performance, the engagement and the play itself against very difficult opponent. Now, further on, to the match against Naples. I rejoiced at their victory on the tribune, but soon, very soon I'm going to celebrate on the pitch with my team mates.
Three points gained in the match against Sampdoria arrived at the very important for society moment. This has been the week of handing over between Cobolli Gigli and Blanc. In his last speech to shareholders Mr. Cobolli remembered his early days in Turin, in the rather stormy period and in the first place he wanted to say 'thanks' to us, players.
I would like to express my gratitude and to thank him for everything he has done in these far from easy years, for fighting next to us to obtain the best results and leave behind the difficult period in our history. I would like to thank him for supporting me, personally, during these three years.
Jean Claude Blanc, who took over from him, also has been with us since B category. He will surely manage to join the new position of president with those he had before, working for Juventus.
I would like to wish good luck to the new president and to all his staff, may they reach the targets we all have planned in and out of the pitch. With a great hope that everything will always work as on Wednesday night....
See you soon, Alessandro

Del Piero dreams of Scudetto
Juventus talisman Alessandro Del Piero says it would be a dream to win another Scudetto and also revealed his nostalgia for the World Cup.
The 34-year-old has struggled with a series of niggling injuries so far this season, playing just seven minutes against Bologna earlier this month.
However, he is fully fit now and could feature in Juventus' hotly anticipated match with a resurgent Napoli at the weekend.
“The game against Sampdoria makes us look to the future with great optimism, the team has given its best and the result rewards the performance, the work and the play against a very difficult opponent,” Del Piero said.
“And now onwards with Napoli. I have celebrated from the stands, but it's too soon. I want to do it on the pitch with my team-mates!
“Moreover, the three points against Sampdoria accompany a very important moment for the club,” Del Piero explained reflecting on the changing of the guard in the boardroom.
Giovanni Cobolli Gigli stepped down earlier this month, and Del Piero had a few words to say on the man who guided Juventus out of the abyss after Calciopoli.
“It has been the week of the handover between Cobolli Gigli and Blanc. In the last shareholders' meeting, Cobolli recalled his first day in Turin, the storm that was engulfing us, and he wanted to thank the players again.
“I would like to send back these words, and give a big thanks to him for what he has done in these difficult times, for having fought at our side to achieve the best results and helping us come out from the most difficult period in our history, and for having personally supported me in the last three years.
“Blanc will succeed him. He has also been with us since Serie B, and he'll know how to inherit Cobolli Gigli's position, uniting the role of President with the others he has held up until now.”
Finally Del Piero gave his thoughts on next summer's World Cup, remembering the goals he scored in 2006.
Asked to recall the best goal of his career, he replied: “The one I am most tied to is that against Germany in the World Cup Semi-Final. I believe it was a very beautiful goal. And then I can't forget the one against Fiorentina many years ago.”
