Canna: Juve can win it all Saturday 8 October, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fabio Cannavaro claims that Juventus can win everything this season with the winning mentality that Inter sorely lack.
“This year we can triumph in every competition and we know that, but it’s still early to say,” assured the defender.
Juventus are on stunning form this term with six consecutive wins in Serie A and two in the Champions League, opening up a five-point lead over Milan and Fiorentina.
“Patrick Vieira has given us extra quality, quantity and a few more goals, but he’s not the only one who has made the difference. Juve’s strength above all the others is a winning mentality.”
The 2-0 victory over Inter last week highlighted the Bianconeri’s capabilities and Cannavaro believes it also showed who will be the real Scudetto contenders.
“Milan are a very strong side and play good football. Despite the fact they’ve stuttered a little to begin with, I think they remain the ones to beat in Serie A. Inter have a squad of remarkable quality, but perhaps they are a little weak on a psychological level.”
Cannavaro is also the captain of the Italy side that will face Slovenia this evening in a crunch match to qualify for the World Cup.
“I think that the Azzurri are winning new fans as time goes on, especially with good results, and we are here with the aim of winning every encounter,” he continued. “We still have to fight for our ticket to Germany, but we must maintain the concentration we have shown recently. It would be very satisfying to ensure our place a round early.”

Camo sees Juve-style Azzurri Saturday 8 October, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Azzurri XI set to face Slovenia this evening has Juventus stars in key roles and Mauro Camoranesi feels the same team spirit here.
“This Italy squad resembles my club side,” said the Argentine-born midfielder. “It has a winning mentality, several Bianconeri players forming a solid nucleus and a Coach with a Juve past. This is a team that has good feet.”
Lippi is ready to adopt a 4-4-2 system for tonight’s World Cup qualifier, and has already confirmed he will move Gianluca Zambrotta over to the right-back role.
He’ll be one of several Juve players along with Fabio Cannavaro, Camoranesi and possibly Manuele Blasi and Alessandro Del Piero. The former Verona man believes that above all the major change has been one of approach.
“There is more quality in the international set-up now, but more than anything else, before Lippi we used to focus on our opponents’ style more than our own.”
Juventus are flying high in Serie A and the Champions League, with their Coppa Italia experience still to begin, and Camoranesi is eyeing The Treble.
“I really can’t think about the World Cup yet, as there are eight months to go and anything can happen in that time. Besides, I have three club competitions to win first and the most important success would be in Europe.”

Trap hails all-conquering Juve Friday 7 October, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Giovanni Trapattoni believes Fabio Capello’s Juventus can do The Double and follow the path set by his reign in Turin.
“This Juve reminds me of my own side,” said the Coach who won six Scudetto titles, a European Cup, Intercontinental Cup and two UEFA Cups with the club.
“I effectively had four different Bianconeri sides. The first was purely Italian, the second more workmanlike with Domenico Marocchino and Pietro Paolo Virdis, the third characterised by Michel Platini and Zwibi Boniek and the fourth with Roberto Baggio, Andy Moeller and Gianluca Vialli. All of them won.”
Capello won the Serie A title with Juventus at his first attempt and is currently on target to make it two in a row, as his side is the only one in Europe to have a 100 per cent record in both its domestic League and Europe at this stage in the season.
“Today’s line-up is like a tank, with great physical power, technique and convinced of its own abilities,” continued Trapattoni, who is currently Coaching German outfit Stuttgart.
“My first Juve side with Antonio Cabrini, Roberto Bettega, Claudio Gentile, Gaetano Scirea, Marco Tardelli and Franco Causio was extremely strong. Capello’s team may well be its equal and this year it can prove it.”
