The President of the Italian Soccer Federation Luciano Nizzola steps in once again to defend Juve and Italy's player Alessandro Del Piero, who managed to yet again miss another easy net in last night's Champion's League game: "I think that Alex played a good game last night against Hamburg. As for the goal he missed" - adds Nizzola- " let's not forget that Alex ran for over 20 metres bringing the ball forward and then he found the goalie practically on himself before he had the chance to coordinate his movements for a better shot."
