"Another record, but I’m not getting used to it. And I don’t believe I’ll never will, because for me these are not celebrations of what I did, but only the stimulus to do even better. Vs. Genoa I collected presence number 445 with Juventus jersey in championship. A day to remember started with the applause the audience at the Olimpico tributed to me when vice general manager Roberto Bettega gave me the jersey bearing number 445 and the commemorative plaque".
"I was so happy to receive that applause before the match start, in a moment in which supporters had a little to celebrate, considering the difficult moment, with the victory that was missing since January 6th. They went beyond delusion. I’m happy I had the chance to repay them at the end of the match".
The one with President Boniperti is a comparison that allures the captain: "With this match I overcame Giampiero Boniperti in presences lists, that’s why it’s an important target. Once again my career crosses the President’s one who took me to Juventus, the man who made the Club’s history on the pitch and then in the Club".
"I heard him some time ago, and we joked about matches: he played 444 all in Serie A, while me among mine 445 I’ve played also 31 in Serie B… But joking aside, for what they meant for my career and for Juve, those presences in B are source of pride!"
Del Piero then goes back to the match vs. Genoa and to one victory arriving just at the right time:
"I’m very satisfied of having celebrated such an occasion by a victory we chased till the very last moment, strongly desired, with determination and pride, being able to suffer and catch up as we never did in this season. We really wanted to. It was good scoring two goals in front of my family, who exulted with me on the stands. What a day!"
Finally a deserved applause for Primavera boys who triumphed in Viareggio: "I remember that the first time that I wore Juventus jersey, during season 1993/94, I was a player in Primavera and that year I won Viareggio tournament with my mates".
"It’s good to see that, many years after, Juventus keeps on winning: mister Bruni’s Primavera conquered Viareggio Tournament, for Juve is the second consecutive victory. I know that boys very well, because they often train with us in Vinovo. I’m really happy for this success, to them and to the staff my best compliments".
