Alex rues Rosanero reverse
Monday 7 April, 2008

Alessandro Del Piero believes that his Juventus side deserved to take all three points away from Palermo last night.

The Old Lady were beaten 3-2 despite Del Piero’s superb double on the day he broke Gaetano Scirea’s club appearance record.

Rosanero defender Mattia Cassani decided the points in the dying minutes and it was a cruel blow for a Juve side that had enjoyed the better of the game.

“Even if it had finished as a draw, we would have had regrets,” Del Piero explained. “You can only imagine our state of mind after losing.

“We didn’t have a great first half and Palermo shocked us twice, but we managed to come back after the break and we made so many other chances.”

Del Piero saw a free-kick hit the woodwork and goalkeeper Alberto Fontana deny him a hat-trick.

“Sadly the post and then the ‘keeper and our lack of accuracy in front of goal stopped us from getting a result,” Alex said ruefully.

“The sucker-punch at the end was a shame – they scored a fantastic goal and we want home empty-handed.”
