«We must not think we are already on holidays and we must do all we can to win. To end the year in a right way would give us more energy for restart». Del Neri wants to end 2010 with a success. Juve comes from two consecutive victories in Championship and achieving another one tomorrow in Verona, vs. Chievo, would be the best way to leave this season first part: «On the last month we achieved many victories: four matches, with three successes and a draw are quite a positive sequence, I believe. We can get another victory, facing Chievo with deep respect. You don’t stay in Serie A for such a long time if you don’t have any qualities, and I’m sure we’ll find an aggressive attitude from their part, so we’ll need the best Juventus».

Del Neri hopes he’ll recover Aquilani, while is a little more skeptic concerning the possibility to have Marchisio back: «At this point, considering that Melo is disqualified, midfield central couple could be Aquilani-Sissoko, otherwise Giandonato will play. Bentegodi ground? It’s particular. It has been really exploited, by two teams, by rugby… I know Chievo has done it all to fix it».

Going back to the ending year, Del Neri analysis cannot be but positive: «I have reached important targets, like Champions League with Sampdoria. We hope we’ll end this year in the right way. The best year of my career? Well, living in Serie B with Chievo and then, the following year, be at Serie A’s top, it’s not that bad. It means they made the right choices, then. In Verona I found new friends, lasting relationships and an important feeling with the city».

Coming to the last part of 2010 and to the months with Juventus, Del Neri is satisfied with progresses, but he is completely pleased: «In soccer there’s no end to improvements and must be continuous in all areas. The defense suffers less because midfield is filtering more, but we must keep on growing. Whom would I give the Oscar of the year to? At the President, who made Juventus rise and to Beppe Marotta who, with his collaborators is doing a great job. I’m part of this project, but if everything is going in the right way, is also thanks to Melo improvements, and to Del Piero availability… What I did, I did it for my players. I just put my experience and professionalism know-how at Juventus disposal».
