Second day of the Champions League Matchday 5 and now it's time for Juventus to rock on.....

 Great news for Juventus fans seeing the return from injury from Captain Alessandro Del Piero and ready to battle in the Champions League against Bordeaux.  True, guys, Del Piero is still not in his top and will need to play more. So, it is not sure whether Juventus coach Ciro Ferrara will include him in the starting lineup.  Del Piero is conscious of his situation as expressed during the Press Conference on the eve of the UEFA Champions League Group Stage A, Matchday 5 against Bordeaux.


Del Piero declared, «I feel well, I have recovered and after nearly three months without playing it was not easy to get back. I am happy I had the right spirit and attention. I am convinced that my fitness will improve».

 Alex Del Piero, after his return to the championship, is also ready for his European debut of the season: «There is no impediment, neither physical nor mental, why I should not be ready. Obviously, it would be my second match after a long time. It depends on the coach’s decisions and whatever the decision is it will be respected» underlined the captain. With regards to his position on the field, Alex is open to novelties: «Since July I did not always train with the team, the coach tried the rhombus formation, the 4-2-3-1 and the 4-3-3 and there were never problems from my side. There was no constraint with regards to  my position on the field».



Regarding Bordeaux not feeling the pressure because they are already qualified to the final 16 round with two games in advance, Del Piero commented:

  «It is not a surprise but nearly, because when you think of the group, at the beginning, you would have thought it was more balanced and one would have though that until the very end the two qualification spots would have been in contention». On Wednesday night there is also the possibility of qualifying as group winners:

 «Coming first is important for the tradition, but relatively important to go through to the final 16 round, where in any case will play against very very strong teams».

Del Piero also responded on the question regarding the suspension from Inter defender Maicon for 2 games after Serie A Week 13, meaning he will miss the match against Juventus.    «The difference is that Maicon told the referee “to go” while I said “I’ll go”, and therefore I think he felt exempted. Joking apart, I think that they are two different cases: my curse was not addressed to the referee but to the fact that I wa shown a yellow card which I deemed unjust».
