Juventus wins the 2002 edition of the Valle d'Aosta Trophy. The bianconeri confirm last year's victory when they beat Napoli and Atalanta.
This time Juventus' opponents are Reggina and Al Ittihad. Victory against the Lybian (goal by Conte), and victory against Reggina at the penalites.
From the penalty spot, Trezeguet, Salas and Davids made no mistakes and Chimenti completed the task by saving the last kick from Savoldi, after Vargas and Mamede have failed their shots.
After the first match between Reggina and Al Ittihad, won by calabrian for 1-0 (goal by Bodgani), Juventus made its debut against the champions of Lybia. Marcello Lippi fielded Buffon as keeper, four defenders Zenoni, Iuliano, Fresi and Birindelli, Zanchi before the defensive line, supported by Conte and Baiocco, Camoranesi behind the strikers Del Piero and Zalayeta.
At 10', great header by Conte, assisted by Baiocco. Bianconeri ruled the game and Buffon had to do only two saves. Good impression by Baiocco and Camoranesi. The game ended and Juventus got the first three points.
In the last and decisive match, Lippi changed the whole line up. Always with the 4-3-1-2 roster, with Chimenti as goalkeeper, defense with Thuram, Ferrara, Montero and Moretti, midfield with Matteo Brighi, Tacchinardi and Conte, Nedved behind the strikers Salas and Trezeguet.
The regular time ended at 0-0 and the trophy was decided by the penalities. From the 11 meters Trezeguet, Salas and Davids made no mistakes.

Marcello Lippi's Juventus started on the same way as it ended last year: with a victory. The Valle d'Aosta trophy is the first title for a season that everybody wants as glorious.
Twelve months ago the bianconeri won in Saint Vincent. A superstitious victory? Lippi thinks like this: "Its not a single victory to be important anyway, as we won last year here, let's hope it is a lucky win even this year. It's always a pleasure to win".
"These matches are important to get datas, to make experiments, to find solutions. As example we tested Camoranesi behind the strickers and I have to say that he did a good performance. I know the value of my guys but today's game confirmed my feelings".
