Alex keeps Scudetto faith
Friday 9 January, 2009

Alessandro Del Piero is confident that Juventus can catch Inter at the top of Serie A as they prepare to start 2009.

The Old Lady beat Milan to emerge as the Nerazzurri's main challengers for the title, but they are still six points behind the reigning champions.

Juve start the New Year by welcoming Siena to Turin this weekend and captain Del Piero is full of confidence.

“We believe that we can catch Inter,” Alex told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“We have the weapons we need to fight until the very end and one thing is for certain - it's time to step on the gas so we can reduce the gap.”

Juve are also focused on the Champions League, where they meet Chelsea in the last 16.

“The Champions League does have a unique charm,” Del Piero continued.

“We have only lifted the trophy once, compared to the several Scudetto we have won. If I had to pick, I think I would go for the Champions League.

“We really want to beat Chelsea and I feel we can do it, but I refuse to make any predictions!”
