Trez supports goal-hungry Ibra Wednesday 28 September, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
David Trezeguet has defended Juventus teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic from jibes that he was too egoistic in the 3-0 win over Rapid Vienna.
Boss Fabio Capello was annoyed by the Swede’s selfish play at times last night, as he looked for his first Champions League goal since his arrival in 2004.
But Trezeguet insists that goal droughts are problematic periods for a forward to continue playing in.
"If a striker doesn’t score then he has just one thought in his head and that is that he wants to find a goal," the Frenchman stated. "He therefore sees things a little differently."
The former Monaco striker netted his 101st goal for the club on Tuesday, before being joined on the score sheet by Adrian Mutu and then Ibrahimovic.
"We didn’t play that great at the start of the game as we were a little tired from the Parma trip," added Trezeguet.
"But Mutu and Zlatan managed to get their first goals in Europe for us and this is very important for the rest of the season."
Juventus, who have a 100 per cent record in all competitions, are now focusing on the big Serie A clash against second placed Inter on Sunday.
"They are a team who are doing very well," noted Trezeguet. "They are the most in-form side along with us.
"Inter also have some very good players in their team. Let us hope that it is a good game."
