From the papers

Trouble at mill yesterday at the Comunale, where Juventus coach Carlo Ancelotti and his players spent over half an hour in the presence of Luciano Moggi, the club's general manager. Moggi tells Tuttosport: "Our present problems will help unite us," while one of the recipients of Moggi's dressing-room tirade, midfielder Zinedine Zidane, was less sanguine: "The Lazio defeat could affect us physically and mentally," he reveals, " although they have the Cups to worry about too."

News of the purported rift between strike pair Alessandro Del Piero and Filippo Inzaghi dominates today's issue of the Gazzetta dello Sport. Juventus have consistently denied all such talk, but according to the Milan-based paper, it's time for the two players to put their differences behind them. "Ale, Pippo. Enough!" reads the headline.

In today's Corriere dello Sport, meanwhile, Roberto Bettega sounds the title charge, the vice president declaring that Juventus have nothing to fear from second-placed Lazio. "It's far better to be chased than to be part of the chasing pack," reasons Bettega. The former Juve striker also denies that the Romans have the easier run-in: "The fixture list is all relative anyway, as they have lost to teams from the lower echelons of the table before. I am sure we won't throw the title away."
