Alex is ready to move on
Monday 24 November, 2008

Alessandro Del Piero is convinced that Juventus can recover from their Derby d'Italia defeat against Inter.

The Old Lady were beaten 1-0 at San Siro to bring a superb run to an end and leave the Turin side six points behind their old rivals.

Now the Bianconeri must pick themselves up for a trip to Zenit St Petersburg in the Champions League.

“Any result could have happened on Saturday,” Juve skipper Del Piero explained.

“But they were three points that won't prove vital in the outcome of the championship.

“Our objectives haven't changed. We will continue as we were and will be able to repeat the good results that we were getting.”

A magnificent Del Piero free-kick earned the three points when the two sides met in Turin.

“Those kinds of things don't always come off, but luckily it allowed us to get a fundamental win in the home game,” Alex said.

“Obviously I will try and do it again tomorrow, but we are facing good and dangerous opponents.

“Zenit may have struggled in the last part of the season, but they will be tough.”
