The big win over Napoli has focussed the spotlight on the giant Yugoslav Darko Kovacevic with manager Carlo Ancelotti clearly impressed: "Ancelotti makes up his mind: Darko to play more" is the emphatic headline in the Gazzetta dello Sport. The Milan football pink points out that not only is Darko's goal-to-game ratio very impressive indeed but he is also not one to moan when he is left out.

Tuttosport really beats the Bianconero drum: "Juve in Scudetto form" is the menacing headline as they quote a satisfied Carlo Ancelotti: "This was the real Juve capable of winning everything." Alex Del Piero has certainly quietened the critics and he now wants to repeat the dose for the national team.

The Corriere dello Sport takes a literary angle: "Godot has arrived" is the headline, of course referring to Juve's number 10. The Conegliano-born forward revealed that his home phone hasn't stopped ringing since his spectacular goal. As from tomorrow, the national team's cause will take precedence, and how wonderful it would be if Alex could repeat his Juve magic for the Azzurri.
