The first match of Diego in the Serie A is much more then positive with the Brazilian champion distributing great balls and even putting in the ball for Iaquinta’s goal.
I am distrubuting the ball which is what I am here to do. We are playing well and I am sure we can improve further and do well. Our objective is to win the chmapionship.
I am feeling better even if I am not at my 100% . I must still improve but I am sure that soon I will be able to give even more. We want to do well and our will will help us achieve results.The most important thing is understand and create space.

Diego: «Our objective is to win the championship»
Cannavaro: «I saw a good Juve especially during the first half»
Amongst the players who performed excellently in the match against Chievo is another “debutant”: Fabio Cannavaro. The captain of the azzurri, returned to Juventus after three years at Real Madrid and immediately fit in with the plans of Ciro Ferrara. The defence however also saw Buffon and Chiellini in excellent condition.
Starting from Cannavaro, here are his comments:«We managed to hold the 1-0 and win the match but we must be more cruel and score more. I saw a good Juve especially during the first half with a great Diego at the disposal of his team mates. The second half saw us be a bit too long but we managed to win and that’s what is important».
The Cannavaro who played against Chievo seems to never have left the bianconeri even though he himself declared it would not be easy to get back to the levels reached in 2006. « It is hard to reach the levels of 2006 but i will do my best to be useful to the team. It was nice to come back and find the hunger for victory. It is nice to have fit into this defence. It is thanks to my team mates».
A final consideration by the defence stalwart: «We tried to keep the ball in their area. It was not easy and sometimes we risked in trying to do so».
Buffon left the field with a clean sheet (his third consecutive one in an official match since Ferrara took over as coach). «The most important thing that we did not concede goals especially after the many conceded last year because it increases self-esteem. The defence played well never giving Chievo room for initiative. Even Fabio (Cannavaro) did a few good things which stopped them from creating problems».
The second half, especially in the dying minutes saw Chievo creating a few worries to the bianconeri’s defence: «In the last minutes I think we were a bit scared but we managed to hold on to the result. Today the 3 points were important. I think we have the honesty to say that we had a good first half but the second half could have been better and this means that we still have room for improvement. At the end of the day it is the defenders who help the goalkeeper realize how happy they are».
There is room for improvement according to Super Gigi: « We must improve the team work even in the defence because in the second half we were a bit too high and in such situations a rebound can create problems».
Finally a word by Chiellini: «We are happy with this victory which allows us to start-off on the right foot in this championship. In the first half we played really well while in the second we were a bit too long and risked more but we managed to close every space».

Juventus are pressing hard on the accelerator and Chievo are finding it difficult to hold the bianconeri back and resorting to some tough tackles. On the 16th minute a Grygera cross is a bit too long for the Juve strikers. One minute later Pellissier is off-side as he shoots wide getting injured in the process.
On the 26th minute it’s time for another show of great play: great action by Amauri who feints Morero, enters the area crosses to Iaquinta who heads well but Sorrentino puts his hand in for a save.

On the 47th minute Cannavaro brings out the ball with great personality. One minute later Camoranesi puts a ball into the area towards Iaquinta who is off-side. There is no time for anything more and Juventus win their first of 38 finals (quoting Buffon) by 1-0.
