Del Piero expected Juve win

Alessandro Del Piero insists he was not surprised that Juventus defeated Roma and moved to within a point of second place.

“We were convinced that we would put in a great performance and that proved to be the case,” smiled the captain.

He scored the only goal of the game in Turin with a powerful free kick, a result that takes the Bianconeri right into the thick of the fight for a second automatic Champions League spot.

Coach Claudio Ranieri had said throughout the campaign that his team lacked the quality of the other big sides, but so far they are undefeated against the other giants.

“It is not true that we don’t have quality in midfield. It is true that we have played worse games than this, but over the course of a season it can happen to have highs and lows,” continued Del Piero.

“The important thing is to always pick up points, even when you aren’t performing at your best.

“Our match against Roma was excellent not only in terms of our football, but also our temperament.”
