Del Piero: "I had a good start"

Everybody had their eyes on Del Piero.

After the Avvocato's words, which incited him to wake up, and the arrival of Marcelo Salas at Juventus, the special star to be observed on the Berlusconi Trophy was"Pinturicchio".

And the fantasista didn't let anyone disappointed: having scored the only goal from open play, he played a good match, showing a good shape even though he missed his penalty kick during the shootouts.

"I had a good start, I quickly scored - Del Piero said - we all played well and won: we couldn't have wished a better start".

Of everything that has been said about him and his new responsibilities, Del Piero doesn't bother: "I feel very calm, I am physically and psychologically well".

About Salas' coming up for the attack, Del Piero has his own thoughts: "A great player like Kovacevic has left, and another great one comes, Salas. Now it's up to Lippi to find the right duos for the attack".
