Pavel Nedved: «We should've finished them off and gone 2-0 up. In any case, I liked how the team handled a very tough game, showing no fear and with a great spirit». (juventus.com)

Gigi Buffon:

Gigi Buffon: «We were tasting victory already, but in the last year and a half we've come to understand that you always have to wait before celebrating when Fiorentina are involved. We have to give credit to the Viola, they never give up, but with one man more than them the game looked over. The goal we conceded? Lately I've been letting in some beautiful goals». (juventus.com)

Camo: Viola aren't contenders

Camo: Viola aren't contenders
Monday 1 September, 2008

Mauro Camoranesi doesn't believe Fiorentina can challenge for the Scudetto on the evidence of yesterday's draw with his Juventus side.

Azzurri winger Camo was Man of the Match at the Stadio Artemio Franchi but he could only watch as the Viola stole a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw.

“We though we could get the win,” the Argentine-born star explained. “We controlled the game to a certain extent and they didn't look like scoring.

“After we went 1-0 up we were in charge and I'm disappointed that it ended level.”

However, the fiery midfield talent doesn't believe the Gigliati will be able to join Inter, Milan, Roma and Juve in the title struggle.

“We will fight to the wire for the Scudetto, but that seems too much for Fiorentina because they are still a young side.

“The Viola will grow over the next two or three seasons but their target should be the top four.”

Both Fiorentina and Juventus will need to juggle the demands of the Champions League and Serie A this season after securing their spots in the Group stage.

Legrottaglie: It's Like We Lost

Legrottaglie: It's Like We Lost

Juventus defender Nicola Legrottaglie was disappointed that his side gave up the lead in Florence to draw 1-1 and he remarked that it felt like they had lost the match...

Legrottaglie and the Juventus defence had held off La Viola until the 89th minute, when striker Alberto Gilardino turned Legrottaglie's central defensive partner Olof Mellberg and found an important equalizer for the home side.

Speaking to Controcampo, Legrottaglie confessed his regrets: "There is great disappointment that the goal was conceded in the last minute, it's as if we lost the match.

"In the final minutes, after they were reduced to ten men, we lowered our guard a little bit," Legrottaglie clarified, describing the entertaining match which featured plenty of chances for both sides in the second half.

Legrottaglie has been re-called to Marcello Lippi's national team squad alongside Fiorentina goal scorer Gilardino and commented on the striker's finish against Gianluigi Buffon.

"In the area, Gilardino used his skill well in protecting the ball," explained the ex-Chievo player.

Ironically, Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli had earlier stated that the last gasp equalizer was like a victory for his side. Juventus' next Serie A match will be against Udinese at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin.

Ranieri: «This is a disappointing draw»

Ranieri: «This is a disappointing draw»

It's a different season, but the feelings coming out of the Artemio Franchi are the same as last year. Juve did well and would've deserved a win, but in the end only gained one point. Last year it was a Mutu penalty, this time a personal effort by Gilardino. Claudio Ranieri has something to recriminate about yet again.

These were the Manager's remarks after the match: «We accept the draw but it's disappointing for us. We'd controlled the game and had chances to finish it off with Amauri and Del Piero. Shame about that goal we conceded, an experienced team such as ours can't concede a goal like that, even if Gilardino did well with one of his typical moves. At the end we tried to win it instead of slowing the pace down. In any case I'm pleased with how the lads played and for how they interpreted the game play. I liked the new signings, they showed they've settled in immediately, that's another reason I'm happy about the work we've done so far».
