Legrottaglie: «Seven games without conceding goals»
If one were to ask a bianconero what was the greatest satisfaction of the 2007/08 season, most probably it would be an easy answer: the victory away to Inter. A precious victory which served as a launching pad for the grand finale which landed Juventus in the third place and a place in the Champions League preliminaries.
It was the 22nd March 2008, thirteen months ago. Today the conditions seem to be similar with Juventus forced to follow Inter from a distance but still determined not to give up. The words of Nicola Legrottaglie exclusive to Juventus Channel, sum up the best mission statement: «We know we are about to play a great match and we know how much it is worth. Last year, winning in n Milan was really helpful for us. Now we want to repeat this to win 3 prestigious points and reduce the margin back to 7 points».
Beating Inter may not be enough to re-open the title race but it would be an important present for the supporters and especially to bring an immediate end to this not so satisfactory period with regards to the results obtained. For the defence it is also an occasion to cancel the goals suffered against Chievo and Genoa. Legrottaglie is ready to launch the challenge for his mates in the defence: «For a great part of the season we were the least beaten and these six goals risk ruining all the good work we did. For this reason, we want to get back immediately to our level and try to concede no goals in these last 7 matches remaining».
A defence which is once again unbeatable would be fundamental for Juventus who still have important objectives to reach. The championship must be respected till the very end and mathematics has not yet awarded the scudetto to the nerazzurri. Besides, there is always the Coppa Italia to play for: «If we had to end as runners-up in the Serie A and win the cup it would surely have been a great season and nobody would be able to say the contrary. I think everybody would be happy. Therefore all that is left is for us to do it!»
