Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci has hailed his team’s surprise win over reigning Serie A champions Inter Milan.
Bonucci says that it was a very important victory for the Turin giants who have seen a big dip in form in the past few Serie A games. Bonucci added that he was delighted with the fact that Juventus were able to hold a clean sheet at home and said that the
victory was even sweeter for him because it was against their bitter rivals.
“This victory means a lot to the team,” said the defender while talking to the Italian media. He also said that the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrea-Barzagli-c5669 from German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen has provided Juventus some much-needed assurance at the back.
In the last few games, Juventus did seem to lack in performance but now it seems that they have finally got their act together.
Juventus manager Luigi Delneri praised his team’s mental strength against an in-form Inter Milan team that has also started playing some attractive football under new manager Leonardo.
Delneri was keen to praise new signings http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luca-Toni-c22526 and said that these players have given the side
an extra dimension.
“We are taking things one match at a time, being attentive to the game's needs. We may suffer on occasions, but we obtain what we require,” added the former Fiorentina man.
However, he remained calm about his side’s victory over archrivals and said that his aim is not to be a rival to Inter Milan but to do well at Juventus and give joy to the fans. He was surprised that Chiellini did quite well as a left-back and also praised
Sorensen’s work-rate to counter Samuel Eto’o.
Alessandro Matri put Juventus in front in the 30th minute of the game when Sorensen’s superbly measured cross was headed in by the 25-year-old striker.
The match could have been a 1-1 draw in the 89th minute when Eto’o found himself just 4 yards from a simple tap-in but the Cameroonian international somehow managed to put the ball out for a goal kick. That was one of the misses of the season
and it might turn out to be a big blow for Inter’s chances of regaining the Scudetto.
The win now takes Juventus from 7th to 5th place in the Serie A standings. They now travel to Florence to face Fiorentina next.
