Juventus boss Del Neri defends Del Piero treatment

Juventus coach Gigi del Neri insists he was right with his treatment of skipper Alessandro del Piero.

The Bianconeri picked up one point from four rounds, but finally got a victory over Brescia thanks to their captain's goal.

"We worked well and didn't allow Brescia anything today, aside from a cross for their goal that saw us get distracted," said the Coach.

"Del Piero is in good shape now, but I do not regret leaving him out for five games, because he participated anyway."
