Alex angered by Juve collapse
Wednesday 22 April, 2009

Juventus skipper Alessandro Del Piero has confessed his frustration at the Scudetto slipping away and claims he has no say on transfer policy.

The Bianconeri could only grab a draw against Inter in the Derby d'Italia and trail their rivals by 10 points with six games remaining.

The Old Lady are expected to invest heavily in the summer to try and usurp Inter next term.

“It's not as simple as just bringing in two or three champions,” Del Piero explained to Tuttosport.

“There are lots of other factors involved. For example, we played several games at night in the winter this season.

“On these evenings it was very cold or humid, which didn't help and then there were the refereeing errors that influenced results.

“But it was our fault because defensive and attacking mistakes stopped us achieving what we could have. We need to put that right because I don't want to finish second or third again.

“As far as transfers are concerned I have never vetoed any swoop,” Alex continued.

“The reason for that is very simple. I don't talk to the club about the transfer market and they don't ask for my opinion.”
