Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero talked about yesterday's 1-0 victory over Atalanta, which came courtesy of a late goal by Pavel Nedved. There's always talk surroundig the transfer market and new players, but at Juventus time and time again it's the old guard that ends up being decisive for the team's victories. The most recent example of this came only lasst weekend, when a strike from distance by midfielder Pavel Nedved a few minutes before the end of the match against Atalanta handed the Old Lady a 1-0 win.
Captain Alessandro Del Piero, who started from the bench yesterday, commented his performance: "I'm happy about my performance, but I'm especially happy for Pavel and that he scored the winning goal: the match was very tough because Atalanta were well organized and showed they deserve to be in the position they are now."
Meanwhile, Inter are continuing to win and are 8 points ahead of Juve, although both Roma and Fiorentina have slowed down. But Del Piero thinks the victory against Atalanta can give the team a big morale boost for the remainder of the season.
"We only broke the deadlock in the final minutes against Atalanta, but this is a victory that gives us confidence and morale for the rest of the season," he concluded.
