The tactical decisions http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo took for yesterday’s game were beneficial to Juventus in the opinion of the assistant manager Angelo Alessio
The two strikers for Juve during Tuesday night's match were http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mirko-Vucinic-c26024. Despite Vucinic having a question mark before the game on account of his ailing condition.
“Antonio chooses the strikers based on form and the characteristics of the opposition,” said the  assistant manager.
The unplanned deflection that the ball took off Quagliarella’s boot was wide enough to beat http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Petr-Cech-c29837 who dived to his left but in vain. This is becoming some what of an unlikely trademark for the side as an almost similar incident
occurred when Juventus were playing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 on Saturday.
“Deflections are not practiced. On Saturday Marchetti did well to deny it, but this time it was a little wider and he was able to score.” observed the assistant manager.
The game went according to plan for the Italian club as they pestered and pressed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 all night with their offensive pressure. This sort of play obviously invites counter attacks but except on a few occasions Chelsea were not
able to stir up any sizable trouble.
Juventus is set to face Shakhtar Donetsk next, who have already qualified ahead of the other teams in the group. A draw in this up coming match would mean that both teams get to qualify with Shakhtar Donetsk in first place and
the Old Lady in second.
Although qualification through a draw is a comfortable way to go about handling things, but Juventus would like to go for all the available points. That would be a good confidence booster for the team going in to the top sixteen.
When asked about the decision of leaving http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 out of the starting XI the Juventus assistant manager had this to say.
“Shakhtar and Chelsea are two great teams and have champions with real technical quality. Tonight we faced a Chelsea side without a reference point in attack and perhaps that helped us tonight.”
The Turin crowd was as loud as always, cheering on the home side and enjoying every second of their club’s victory. Alessio graciously acknowledged the support by saying “I want to thank our marvellous fans who accepted Antonio’s
invitation to create a cauldron in the stadium and we dedicate the win to them.”
