It was a particular day for David Trezeguet who from a merciless striker in the penalty area, moved this afternoon from the field to the centre of Turin, or more precisely to Piazza Castello to change into an orator for “Open Mind”, a project addressed to youngsters supported by the Ministry for Internal Affairs and co-financed by the European Union.
It was an occasion for a meeting which the city of Turin organized to allow youngsters to come into contact with illustrious co-citizens and ask them about their stories, the opportunities they came across, their passions and the principles which guided them in their adult life. It is a moment in the growth of these youngsters who during the Week of Citizenship, from the 27th to the 31st of October, will have the opportunity to learn from the dialogue with personalities such as John Elkann (Exor president) and Angelo Benessia (Compagnia di San Paolo president), yesterday .
David was adopted by Turin 10 years ago and he has always stressed his bond with the city besides with Juventus and hence attended the activity with pleasure. To the over 300 youngsters present, David spoke of his life, starting from Argentina and his first kicks to the ball to a goal made by two stones, up to the triumph in the World Cup and European Cup as well as of his many victories with Juventus. David then spoke to the journalists present about the current team, saying: «that the most beautiful thing about the match against Sampdoria was that the players enjoyed themselves and made the public enjoy it too». The thought’s of Trezegol and his team mates however are already on Saturday’s match against Napoli, «a good team against which we will have to field the same spirit that we had against Sampdoria». «We must not let go – ended Trezeguet – because we have many matches ahead of us».
Trezeguet speaks of himself on “Open Mind”

Serie A Table/Results
Juventus made it two wins on the bounce in Serie A with a thumping 5-1 win over Sampdoria at at the Stadio Olimpico.
Amauri (2), Giorgio Chiellini, Mauro Camoranesi and substitute David Trezeguet scored the goals as Juventus produced their best performance of the season to leapfrog Sampdoria, for whom Giampaolo Pazzini grabbed a consolation, into second place.
It was third against second in Turin, as both sides looked to chase leaders Inter. The Bianconeri ended a run of four winless league matches at the weekend, but came into this game with serious injury problems as Tiago, Alessandro Del Piero, Claudio Marchisio, Hasan Salihamidizic, Jonathan Zebina, Martin Caceres and Vincenzo Iaquinta were out. Fabio Grosso, Fabio Cannavaro, Momo Sissoko and Sebastian Giovinco returned in a 4-2-3-1.
Samp were in confident mood having thrashed Bologna 4-1 on Saturday, and could temporarily go top by winning again. The Blucerchiati made two changes as Daniele Gastaldello came in for Marco Rossi at the back, while Angelo Palombo suffered a muscular problem and was replaced by Fernando Tissone. The best strikeforce in Italy at the moment, Antonio Cassano and Giampaolo Pazzini, led the attack.
Juventus created the first opening of the game on 10 minutes as Luca Castelazzi saved well from Grosso before Diego fired over from the rebound via a deflection. From the following corner Castellazzi flew low to his right to make a brilliant stop from Giorgio Chiellini's header.
The home side were doing most of the running, but Samp fired a couple of warning signs through Marius Stankevicius and Reto Ziegler.
The deadlock was broken in Juventus' favor on 25 minutes in scrappy circumstances. A corner from the left was not cleared properly by the Samp defense, and Amauri was on hand to lash home the loose ball.
Giovinco tested Castellazzi with a long shot, and Amauri headed wide before Samp made a tactical switch on 36 minutes as Claudio Bellucci replaced Luciano Zauri and the visitors moved to a 4-3-1-2.
A second Juventus goal was on the cards, though, and it arrived on 42 minutes. Chiellini charged forward from defense, laid the ball off to Amauri on the left, and then tapped home at the back post from the Brazilian-born striker's center.
Stankevicius fizzed an effort wide before the half time whistle, but it had been Juve's best half of football this season so far.
Amauri scored two and made one
Juventus almost made it three straight after the interval, but Castellazzi saved brilliantly to prevent a Stefano Lucchini own goal.
Marco Padalino replaced the disappointing Tissone as Samp threw on their second substitute of the evening.
On 49 minutes it was indeed 3-0. Diego slipped through Giovinco, who cut back expertly to Mauro Camoranesi to sidefoot home.
Giovinco was on fire down the left, and could have made it four a few minutes later as he raced past Stankevicius before shooting into the sidenetting. Grosso also hit a 30-yard piledriver inches past the top corner.
A fourth goal was coming, and it arrived on 61 minutes as Amauri bulleted home a header into the far corner from Camoranesi's cross.
It had been a miserable night for Samp, but they at least grabbed a consolation three minutes later. Bellucci crossed from the left and Pazzini nodded into the top corner from six yards.
Juventus gave a run-out to David Trezeguet and Paolo De Ceglie, who came on for Amauri and Felipe Melo.
Trezeguet should have scored on 71 minutes as Giovinco put the ball on a plate for him at the back post, but the Frenchman fluffed his shot.
Substitute Trezeguet did find the back of the net three minutes from time as he headed past Castellazzi from Grosso's deep cross.
With this win Juventus swap places with Sampdoria and move up from third to second, one point behind Inter who play tomorrow against Palermo.

Amauri returned to the starting XI, while Fabio Cannavaro and Momo Sissoko were rested.

There were reports that another defeat here could result in the sack for coach Marco Giampaolo.
There was a labored start with the first effort not being registered until the 11th minute when David Trezeguet saw a shot charged down by Daniele Ficagna.
Midway through the half there was an opening at the back post as Paolo De Ceglie found himself all alone, but the youngster slipped and sliced horribly wide.

Juventus created their best chance of the half on 41 minutes when Giorgio Chiellini headed wide from six yards from a Diego free kick.

Mauro Camoranesi was introduced to add some creative spice, but it was Siena who threatened just after the hour mark as Emanuele Calaio was denied by a fantastic last-gasp Chiellini sliding tackle.
Juventus were creating very little, but they took the lead on 73 minutes. Diego chipped in a free kick, and Amauri flicked on a header from 12 yards into the bottom corner.

There have been fresh batches of reports emerging over the past week or so, indicating Juventus’ intent on signing Arsenal’s talented right wing-back Emmanuel Eboue in the coming transfer period.
According to the very latest reports from Tuttosport, these rumors seem to have intensified recently, as the Bianconeri are said to be formulating an offer that they will present to the English club and the African born player shortly.
Eboue has a Belgian passport, which would be welcomed in Turin as he would not take up a non-EU place. Earlier reports have suggested that Bianconeri scouts have been following the African in London, and that they have reported back with some interesting news.
He is seen as a key addition to the squad, as the Italian outfit feel they are lacking in his position, with the likes of Jonathan Zebina and Zdenek Grygera who are not getting any younger, whilst the youngster Jose Martin Caceres is still seen as a gamble at this point of his career.
The player is currently contracted with the Gunners until 2011, however if there are any issues with that, then Juve may turn to their alternative option, with that being Andreas Beck of Hoffenheim.

Amauri: I'm Happy With The Goal, But We Deserved More
The hitman has spoken of his delight at having scored in Serie A after an eight month goal drought.

* Amauri
Juventus striker Amauri is delighted after getting his name back on the scoresheet, but feels his side deserved more from the 1-1 draw with Fiorentina.
The Old Lady started off brightly, but found themselves a goal down after just five minutes. Juan Manuel Vargas did the damage as he tapped home from close range to silence the Olimpico. However, Amauri, who hadn't scored since February 15th coming into the match, slotted the ball home into an unguarded net after Vincenzo Iaquinta's cross-shot found the Brazilian unmarked.
Juve had several opportunities to go on and win the game, but they were unable to turn their chances into goals. However, Amauri is delighted to have got his name on the score sheet.
"Surely I missed the goals going in, but I have always played well," Amauri told Sky Sport Italia.
"September was peculiar month for me as I went seven games out of seven without scoring. However, I am happy for the goal I scored, but less pleased with the result, we could have done better."
Juventus have not won in five matches, but Amauri is confident his side can come out of that spell.
"We don't win? Well, we have to get out of this moment. We have to think about Wednesday now in the Champions League as we have an important game and close this one."
The striker was then asked about a possible call up to Italy, and he has made himself ready.
"Italy? I play for Juve and I want to do well here. If [Marcello] Lippi gives me a chance then I will be very happy," concluded the hitman.

Player Ratings: Juventus 1-1 Fiorentina
After Juventus played out an entertaining draw with rivals Fiorentina, Goal.com's Anthony Wright was on hand to rate the players.
Oct 17, 2009 2:40:21 PM
JUVENTUS
Buffon: 6 – He was exposed by his defense for the first goal, but had little else to do.
Grygera: 5.5 – Caught out of position for the goal and was struggling to cope with Vargas and Jovetic in the first half.
Cannavaro: 7.5 – He kept Gilardino very quiet and dove-tailed very well at the back with Chiellini.
Chiellini: 7.5 - Made some crucial headed interceptions and used his strength to prevent Gilardino from being a threat.
Grosso: 6 – The left back tried to get forward but his delivery into the box was frequently poor.
Melo: 7 – The former Fiorentina man put himself about and bossed the midfield in the first half. Should have been punished when he tried to take the ball out of defense on a number of occasions by himself.
Sissoko: 7.5 – Early dive put him under pressure for the rest of the game but even though he was not 100 per cent fit, his physical presence played a major role in Juventus' dominance of the midfield.
Poulsen: 7 – Not as physical as his midfield partners but was more creative as he linked up with Diego and Grosso.
Diego: 7.5 – Showed his class with some clever touches, dictated the tempo in the midfield and was always looking to let the strikers in.
Iaquinta: 5.5 – He did well to get into the right positions but he was wasteful in his finishing, particularly when he volleyed at the 'keeper in the 15th minute. Unselfish to set up the crucial equalizer.
Amauri: 6 – Couldn't miss for his goal, but should have had more as he had several headers that were directed straight at Frey.
Substitutes
Camoranesi: 5.5 – Did very little in the time he was on.
De Ceglie: N/A – Given too little time to adjust to the game's tempo.
Trezeguet: N/A – He was brought on too late in the day to make an impact.
FIORENTINA
Frey: 6 – He made a good stop from Sissoko in the first half, but was otherwise rarely tested. Could do nothing for the goal.
Comotto: 6 – Got forward well and was putting himself about. However, he was poor in possession and his crossing was all over the place.
Gamberini: 7.5 – Heroic last-ditch tackle to deny Sissoko getting a free shot away in 14th minute, and made some crucial interceptions to keep the hosts at bay.
Dainelli: 8 – He was the rock on which numerous waves of Juventus attacks were broken up, and he put his body on the line for his team on a number of occasions.
Gobbi: 6 – Picked up an early knock and looked shaky at times, but tried to support the visitors' attack when possible.
Montolivo: 6 – Dominated by the hosts' midfield and had little influence on the game until late on when both sides were beginning to tire, but rarely gave the ball away.
Zanetti: 6.5 – Grew into the game in the second half and was doing his best to break up the unrelenting Juventus attacks.
Marchionni: N/A – He was replaced after 24 minutes due to injury.
Jovetic: 7 – Delivered a perfect pass for Vargas’ goal and was showing quality during the first half. His influence faded during the second period and was eventually replaced.
Vargas: 7 – Took his goal well and was causing problems with his set pieces. Should have crossed for Gilardino early in the second half but dallied on the ball and the chance to take the lead was gone.
Gilardino: 5 – While he had little service, he was virtually anonymous for most of the game and was disappointing when he had a couple of opportunities near the end.
Substitutes
Santanta: 6 – Not as active as Vargas on the opposite flank, but always looked to trouble Grosso and tested Buffon with a shot from range in the second half.
Mutu: 6 – Did his best in the short time he was given, getting involved in the play and managed to take more shots in 20 minutes than Gilardino did in 90.
Pasqual: N/A - Not enough time to make a real impact.

ALWAYS HUNGRY DEGREE
April 2008, supporters of the defeated Juventus polled fans on the club website, VecchiaSignora.com. The result, 83 percent of fans want the Old Lady Alesandro Del Piero Juventus become future leaders. That is, he wants players who addressed that Alex stayed at Juventus when it was decided to hang the shoes.
"I'm really honored. However, this time I have in mind is to restore the glory of this club before I retire from the field. About my future at the club management level, wait another 2-3 years "explains Del Piero.
Career looked Del Piero, Juventus fans desire is natural. Since joining in 1993, he had never changed the club. Totality and fidelity deserved thumbs up. Not only that, he always proved himself to be successful is difficult to replace players.
Two seasons ago, before Juve degraded, the sharpness was Del Piero had decreased. During the season 2005 - 2006, scored only 12 goals. But, Del Piero did not despair. He believed, this is just a matter of time.
The conviction was proved. In the next two seasons, a player who is married to Sonia Amoruso rose. Appearing in Series-B, he scored 21 goals. Productivity continues as Juve return to Serie-A, the exact season from 2007 to 2008. The Prince also scored 21 goals. Nicks which makes him the title capocannoniere.
"He was a champion who has a remarkable technique and great characters. He was watching her strength. Although rarely played, she never revealed mengecawakan each time coach. He is an example to us all, "piji Italian coach, Marcello Lippi.
For European pebola size, posture Del Piero relatively small. But he had many advantages that are not didmiliki players - other players. He was a hard worker, talented, creative, have high intelligence, honest (do not like to do diving), emotionally stable and easy to close with anyone.
"Del Piero has become an example for us. Hard worker and did not talk much, "explained the former Juventus striker is now costumed Fiorentina, Adrian Mutu. "He always showed the best quality. Too excited. When you first costumed Juventus, I saw he was very qualified. beselang five years, he's still the same quality, "said Juve defender, Nicola Ligrittalie.
Haus Degree
Current age Conegliano Veneto-born striker was already 34 years old. For a professional player, this obviously very risky. Logically, it is difficult for strikers to compete with the players - another player who was much younger.
But, in the eyes Juve, Del Piero is still convincing. "Alex is right - really world-class player. I was told Arsene Wenger that Del Piero as wine. The older the better. He has reminded me of the figure of Gianfranco Zola. Remained good despite the age of 38 years, "said Claudio Ranieri.
Del Piero confirmed that assumption. Until now, there are no plans to end a career. Ligament injury which kereap membekapnya, not the big reason for hanging shoes. As long as the body is still strong, says Del Piero, he was not going to pensions.
"I do not know when to retire. As long as I can control the ball, I'm still playing. Maybe up to 6 - 7 years longer. Always wanted to be the best is my motivation, "added Del Piero.
In a statement, April 2008, Del Piero expose logical reason to survive in the top Serie-A. "There are many reasons why I could fine performance like this. I'm doing this because it is very hungry with success, that's what distinguishes, "said the player was nicknamed Il Pinturicchio.
Simple principle is what makes Alex stable. He does not like to spit boasting - boasting sweet about appearance in the field. But the striker who plays just 175 cm was successfully proved its capacity in the field. Source: (Juventus reborn. Soccer series in 2008)

Permainan yang ditampilkan Juventus sangat bervariatif tidak monoton. Sebagai salah satu klub professional Juventus tidak melupakan peremajaan pemain, hal ini bisa dilihat dengan munculnya wajah-wajah baru pada skuad Juventus di seri-A musim 2008-2009. Mulai dari Claudio Marchisio, Sebastian Giovinco sampai Paulo De Ceglie. Masih ada pemain muda Juventus yang dipinjamkan ke klub lain bahkan jadi rebutan klub-klub elit Eropa mulai dari Lanzafame yang bermain di Palermo sampai Sculli yang bersinar bersama Genoa. Namun wajah baru dari skuad Juventus B sudah siap menanti skuad inti Juventus, mulai dari Falque, Cristian Pasquato sampai Pausto Rossi.
Beberapa data pemain yang ada diatas merupakan salah satu dari perjuangan Juventus untuk menciptakan skuad yang terbaik di Eropa bahkan sampai Dunia. Sehingga usaha-usaha yang dilakukan Juventus dalam perebutan pemain bintang diawal musim seri-A 2008-2009 selalu kandas. Mulai dari mendatangkan Arda Turan, Lucas Podolski, Bastian Schweinsteiger sampai David Silva tidak menghasilkan sama sekali.
Sehingga pada seri-A musim 2008-2009 Juventus hanya diperkuat oleh beberapa bintang dari Italia. Dan bahkan hampir setiap lini Juventus hanya diisi oleh pemain-pemain Italia seperti komposisi pemain dibawah ini:
Penjaga gawang : Gianluigi Buffon
Belakang : Cristian Molinaro, Chiellini, Nicola Legrottaglie, De Ceglie
Tengah : Camoranesi, Marchisio, Cristiano Zanetti, Sebastian Giovinco
Penyerang : Alex Del Piero, Vincenzo Iaquinta;.
