Pepe interview

-he said-

Conte: 'Not good for my arteries!'

Antonio Conte was not entirely happy with the Juventus performance against Novara. “There was a negative aspect…”
The Bianconeri dominated the game and won 2-0, but wasted numerous scoring opportunities before Fabio Quagliarella put the result beyond doubt.
“There was a negative aspect to this match, as we left the result in the balance to the very end,” said the Coach.
“It’s not a good situation for my coronary arteries! Above all, we run the risk of conceding a goal. Then again, we cannot sit back and defend a lead. I prefer to win less and always play good football.”
Quagliarella had a rare start and scored his first goal since that devastating injury a year ago.
“Fabio is a player who I always considered to be important. I give gifts to nobody, as I always send out the best XI for the circumstances.
“Gigi Buffon is the best goalkeeper in the world and I always counted on him. Besides, he needs to justify his wages!”
Conte was also asked about the reported Juventus offer for Martin Caceres, currently at Sevilla.
“Do I like Caceres? I prefer women,” joked the tactician.


Pepe: “Another hurdle overcome”

Simone Pepe capped off a fine performance against Novara by netting his fifth goal of the season. The winger also provided the assist for Quagliarella’s second-half header. But while the 28-year-old will enjoy today’s success, he is already looking ahead to Juve’s next encounter.
“We’ve overcome another hurdle,” stated the midfielder. “We were perhaps less composed in front of goal, but we showed a great intensity from start to finish. Now we’ll face a really tough test against a team who play good football and know how to win. Udinese gave me a lot, it’s a city that is dear to me and in which I managed to break into the national side. If I’m now at Juve it’s thanks to Udinese, however we’ll do all we can go obtain a positive result.”
Juventus could end 2011 at the top of Serie A, with defending champions Milan trailing behind. “Perhaps they’re more technically equipped,” explained Simone. “But we’ve got great hunger and this could make the difference. Personally speaking, I’m fine but I don’t like to speak about my moment. It’s the team who help individuals to do well.”
This afternoon’s win over the Biancoazzurri saw Quagliarella and Del Piero return to the starting line-up. “They would be in any side,” underlined Simone. “We’ve got an important squad and there’s no difference if those who have played less take to the field. Alex has yet to score? Well, it means he’ll do it next time, perhaps with a goal that clinches all the three points.”



Quagliarella, one year on

19 December 2010. Fabio Quagliarella scores in Verona with a fantastic overhead kick. But his wonderful strike was followed by a cruel injury picked up at the beginning of the year against Parma - subjecting the striker to a long and difficult road to recovery.
18 December 2011. Fabio Quagliarella returns to the starting line-up for a Serie A fixture. His header saw Juventus stave off any hopes of a Novara fightback, but above all ended his long barren run in front of goal.
And following the game, Quagliarella expressed his happiness: “364 days have gone by since my last goal, but that was also the last time I started a championship game. When I knew that the manager had included me in his starting line-up, I was only focused on my performance and I think I showed to be in good shape. My goal was the icing on the cake and I dedicate it to Storari and Toni who predicted it before the match. I’ve gone through difficult months, but I’ve always felt trust from our manager and the club. It was just up to me to show my value with facts, the rest was just talk.”

FORZA JUVENTUS..!!
