Player Talk : Del Piero



Olimpico Del Piero's favourite ground again

A missed penalty three months ago against Roma has to be considered just an “episode”. Against Lazio, Alessandro Del Piero was once again man of the match at the Olimpico. He struck in the same ground where he won his first Champions League when he was 22 years old and in the same net where he gave us one of his first masterpiece goals back in 1994.

Two almost identical goals: two perfect long passes from Zanetti, two dazzling runs and winning left footers from the captain; most importantly, two decisive goals allowing Juventus to beat a tough Lazio side and to climb to a temporary second place in the League.

At the end of the game, the Captain remembered the great goal scored 13 years ago and there was no shortage of similarities: “Like tonight, back then my goal allowed us to win, even if by a different score [Lippi's men had won 4-3 that day]. But it gave us a nice boost and we ended up winning the League that year. I hope it has the same effect this time. I'm twice happy today: for the two goals and because we hadn't won away from home for ages”.
