Secco: «The players showed great motivation»

Satisfaction returned on the face of the Juventus sports director, Alessio Secco, following the great performance by the team on the first match as coach of Ciro Ferrara.

The words of the sports director reflect the outcome of the match: «Finally we had a great match and a good result which puts us directly in the Champions league and joint second with Milan. We must work hard during this week to try to end the championship as runners-up which would be a rather good result when one takes everything into consideration».

The team seemed to have gone an impressive change in the last week returning to be the Juventus which we saw during most of the season: « The players showed great motivation. The results on Sunday reflect the work done during the week. The team seemed tranquil even though it is not easy in the situation we were but they managed to find the right mentality once again».

Del Piero scored twice and gave the winning ball to Marchisio for the second goal: «Alex played a good match, scoring the opener with one of his free-kicks and scoring a good second goal by going round the goalkeeper».

The victory does not mean that Siena let go: «Siena played a good match and so the victory is even more important. The heat obviously left its effect but Juventus came to the stadium very determined».
