[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss, SunSans-Regular]Del Neri: 'We'll go out like that'
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Gigi Del Neri blasted his Juventus side for their attitude in Salzburg. “If we play like this, we’re going out of Europe.”
[/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]The Bianconeri were extremely sluggish in the first half and deservedly went a goal down, but Milos Krasic came off the bench and scored the equaliser immediately.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Only a spectacular Alex Manninger save from point-blank range in stoppages made sure it was a third draw from as many Europa League group games.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]“Any team will cause you trouble if you are not prepared to face them in the right way,” warned a furious Del Neri.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]“Several players are behind in their fitness levels, such as Amauri. In the second half we played with more conviction.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]“The introduction of Krasic brought a more vivacious spark to our football.”
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Before this match Salzburg had not scored a single goal or picked up a point in the Europa League.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]“Evidently these games ought to act as a lesson for us. If we play like this, we’re going out of Europe.”
