From the papers

Alessandro Del Piero is once again the main man in this morning's papers. The question he still can't get away from? How come he isn't scoring with any regularity. "I'm still not at my best," he tells Tuttosport. "Scoring might help to give me a boost, but it's not true that I'm going through a confidence crisis and not taking my chances. I'm just playing differently."

"We are flying at the moment," the Juventus number 10 affirms in the Gazzetta dello Sport. "If I hit my best form too, then we'll stand an even better chance of achieving our ambitions." In the same paper, Del Piero admits, "I do need a goal; I've been chasing one for two or three months now. But it feels good to have the support of the club. I'll pay them back soon."

As far as Sunday's encounter against Lecce at the Delle Alpi goes, Tuttosport predicts an "ultra-defensive" line-up, with Paolo Montero likely to make a comeback. The view is less rosy from the other side: Lecce manager Cavasin is said to having a recurring nightmare. According to Tuttosport, they go by the name of Zinedine Zidane. "He is an outstanding player. We will be making special provisions for him," Cavasin promises.
