Del Piero: "Optimism And Determination"
"I am facing the Europa League as something new, because the last time I took part it had a different name. It is true, it’s not the Champions League, but there are teams of a very high level who perhaps did not manage to find an optimal condition at the start of the season".
"Tomorrow’s match is a clear symbol of this: Ajax is a team which is perhaps under-rated when one considers it’s history, seeing they won everything and has always brought up extraordinary players".
Alessandro Del Piero is preparing to face a new challenge, the Europa League. It is a challenge which comes at a delicate moment, during which the bianconeri managed to show signs of a comeback:
"I am optimistic. We are happy with Sunday’s victory, because it came after 2 draws, very different from another and it may seem absurd to say but we haven’t suffered a defeat in three weeks. We are approaching this match still not in the best of conditions, neither for the results nor for the players available but these must not be alibis and we must face tomorrow’s match as a very important one that can make us protagonists on a nice stage".
The victory of the competition is an objective that should be pursued with strength and the team has the means of reaching it: "A Juventus at its top under all aspects, medical, psychological and the interpretation of the coach’s ideas, can win it. Unfortunately not all these components are there at the moment but we will do our best".
