Ranieri Talk

Ranieri: «Three points worth double»

«When I have all my lads available, I can't fail but be happy» were Claudio Ranieri's words at the press conference on the eve of the trip to Udine: and those words really hit the spot. Juventus, at full ranks again at the Friuli, got a vital win in view of qualifying for Europe.

All this for the joy of all the Juventini and, naturally, the Rome-born Manager himself: «We must pay tribute to Udinese because they're a great team, but also to my lads who never gave up and today earned three points that are worth double and allow us to start off well this cycle of games in which we'll face all the big teams. We suffered in the first 20-25 minutes, when they were quicker than us. Gradually we got possession of the ball back and in the second half they couldn't keep such a high pace up and by believing in it, we got the win. Camoranesi coming back? Important, just like Buffon, Chiellini and Zebina coming back too. When you have players such as mine there are no problems».
