Champions League: Juventus - Maccabi 1-0 Interviews and players rating

BUFFON:
We wanted the points and we got them, speaking as you would but we played good football and had various goal scoring chances. In the Champions League it is normal to concede a few opportunities but not on the 93rd minute with the opponents down to 10 men!

CHIELLINI:
I'm happy with my first goal in Champios League!

TREZEGUET:
Winning was the main thing for us, but we must work harder.

FERRARA:
This team played using a 4-4-2 formation for many years and therefore it is natural that we need time to adapt to these new tactics. Tonight I opted for one striker and three good players when it comes to attacking and it turned out well.
Today I liked the way the lads played in the way they interpreted the match even though I would have liked to bring it to a close earlier, considering the fact that we played with one man more.
Diego? He played an excellent match. He played well between the lines, looked out for his mates and ran a lot.

PLAYERS RATING:

BUFFON 8:
Decisive in at least two occasions. Simply the best goalkeeper in the world.

ZEBINA: 5.5
Start pushing on the right wide, less accurate then other times, as usual, the trouble muscles.

CACERES 5 (from 35')
Too much innacurate, some throwing wrong of 10 meters, on his side almost Macccabi reach the draw at the end.

CANNAVARO 6 +
Start stretch, see the opportunity granted to Dvalishvili in the early minutes, it redeems in the second half.

CHIELLINI 7
First goal in the Champions League, always careful in defense.

GROSSO 6.5
Pushes a lot about the band, good cross, should be more careful in defense.

MELO 6
More carefull than other times,always,I expects from him to do more to turn the team goes. Out through injury at 60'.

POULSEN 6 (dal62 ')
Improves as much as possible, careful in its balance test with some good success launch. Even with him, the team seems more balanced.

SISSOKO 7
Fights, try to fit in, also seeks the goal for all 90 minutes although the second game after seven months out. Bravo Momo.

CAMORANESI 6.5
Wrong too many cross and supports, not by him,, though not lacking the desire and the class is infinite.

DIEGO 6.5
Vote for the commitment,him potential would be great but do not pass the ball and is not effective near the net, and sometimes he may passes to Giovinco unmarked!

GIOVINCO 7
With his invasions forces at yellow card Maccabi's half team, always purposeful, as usual, fails to be effective in net area.

TREZEGUET 6
Near the goal on two occasions, the rest is either absent or unreachable for his teammates, though steadily improving since last year.

AMAURI SV (by 81 ')

FERRARA 6.5
System of play that I should try again, can give us satisfaction with Iaquinta contenton a wide. We must work on defense fases.
