Turin - On the Derby, a match in which, strangely, exactly Alex who's the symbol of Juventus, has never scored, in six seasons, Del Piero admits it's an unique match: "Maybe, if you felt bad on the match's eve, suddenly you recover. We also know that the granata are beggining to do well again and that they get to give their best on the derby". Then, still unaware of the decisions taken regarding the curva Maratona, he expresses a wish that is like a profecy: "The most beautiful thing would be the supporters of both squads fill the stadium as always".

"We're used to the external pressure. Last year it was enormous, with affairs even outside the pitch. This year, the polemics come above all because we're in the first place, but we're also stronger on the spirit, regarding last year. However we must show we're great even in the current position, the most enviable, but also filled with traps besides the consistent gain we've collected".
