Rizzoli‎ Attendance: 42000‎ Moggi: AC Milan did nothing but run around against Juventus The ex-general director has not held back with his scathing remarks regarding the Serie A champions' dismal performance against his former employers. Oct 3, 2011 Luciano Moggi has been highly critical of AC Milan's performance in their 2-0 loss to Juventus on Sunday night, stating that the Serie A champions did nothing more than run after their hosts for 90 minutes. A late double from Claudio Marchisio proved to be the difference between the teams on the night, but the former Juve general director feels that there was more to the game than that. "I saw a team that did more running than playing," Moggi told Il Sussidiario. "Milan did nothing, and so the result was inevitable." The 74-year-old then spoke about Inter's 3-0 loss to Napoli, which saw referee Gianluca Rocchi come under heavy fire after wrongly sending off Joel Obi and awarding the visitors a questionable penalty at San Siro. "Rocchi got it all wrong. He made a mistake with Joel Obi and then again on the penalty," Moggi said. As a result of their poor start to the season, Inter currently sit 17th in Serie A, one point off the relegation zone.

Barzagli delighted by Italy recall after three-year absence The World Cup winner is glad to be back playing for his country and feels his good form in Turin has allowed him to unlock the international door. Oct 3, 2011 Andrea Barzagli has praised Juventus for his return to the Italy squad after three years of being in the international wilderness. Coach Cesare Prandelli recalled the 2006 World Cup winner for their upcoming Euro 2012 Group C qualifying fixtures against Serbia and Northern Ireland. Speaking during a press conference at Italy's Coverciano training base, the defender could not hide his delight. "If I am here with Italy then it is because of Juventus. I am happy with what I am doing, but I can never be satisfied," Barzagli said. Barzagli played in Juve's 2-0 win over AC Milan in Serie A on Sunday. The result allowed his club side to move back to the summit of the table, but the 30-year-old is keeping his feet on the ground. "We are certainly not the favourites and we must remember just five games have been played so far," he said. "We are on the right path, but it is hard to say who will be fighting for the title at this stage." Italy are already through to the tournament in Poland and Ukraine having sealed qualification against Slovenia last month.

Oct 3, 2011 Marcello Lippi has said former clubs Juventus and Napoli are good value for winning the Serie A title this season. Both teams signalled their Scudetto intentions over the weekend and held the two Milanese giants at their mercy. Napoli beat Inter 3-0 on Saturday while Juventus brushed aside AC Milan 2-0 on Sunday. "I think Juventus and Napoli will both fight to win the title this season," Lippi told Ansa. "However, Milan, Inter and Udinese are also there. Udinese never cease to amaze me." Lippi went on to speak about Roma who clicked into gear with a 3-1 win over Atalanta on Saturday. "Roma have an excellent project and champions like Daniele De Rossi and Francesco Totti." Juventus are joint top of the league with Udinese, one point ahead of Napoli.

Oct 3, 2011 Juventus coach Antonio Conte has voiced his delight with the 2-0 victory over AC Milan in Serie A on Sunday evening. The 42-year-old was full of praise for his players following the important win at the Juventus Stadium and stressed that his squad have what it takes to become champions. "To win these games, you must win as a team. This year, the good players have to be champions. We have players who can learn to be champions," Conte told Tuttosport. The former Juve captain tempered his praise with words of advice for his men in the coming weeks, urging them to be humble and never to forget the failures of last season. "It is too early to lose the humility which reminds us that last season we finished in seventh place. If we had failed [to remember to be humble] we would have been massacred by Milan." Juventus will look to maintain their unbeaten start to the Serie A season when they face Chievo after the international break.

Oct 3, 2011 Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio believes his side have what it takes to challenge for the Serie A title in the wake of their 2-0 home win over AC Milan on Sunday. Antonio Conte's men picked up the full three points courtesy of a brace from Marchisio at the Juventus Stadium and now sit joint top in Serie A with Udinese after five games. "It was a great match and an important victory. We now have two weeks to train hard [during the international break] and work toward the Scudetto," the 25-year-old was quoted as saying by Sky Sport Italia. "I've got belief, as we had belief in the team's championship prospects at the beginning of the season. "I am happy for the goals, but more importantly with the victory. We wanted to stay ahead of Milan and Inter and we did it."

Oct 3, 2011 Gianluigi Buffon has compared Antonio Conte's Juventus to the sides built by Marcello Lippi in the 1990s and Fabio Capello in the following decade, as he feels the Turin giants have the potential to fight for major trophies again. Juventus sit joint first in the Serie A table after beating AC Milan 2-0 in Sunday evening's league encounter at the Juventus Stadium, and Buffon is convinced that the club is on the right track again under Conte. "This Juve is in the process of becoming a team of value, just like that of Marcello Lippi and Fabio Capello. Everyone assumed those teams would fight for the title and could win the Champions League," he declared to Tuttosport. "We're a good team that's capable of fighting for top honours again. We're on the right track." Juventus had to settle for seventh spot in the Serie A table in the past two seasons, but they are desperate to challenge for the Scudetto again this term and secured the services of players such as Andrea Pirlo, Mirko Vucinic and Eljero Elia in order to do that.

"Winning the Scudetto? I'm keeping my feet on the ground. We are aware of our strength and we're top of the table now. However, it won't be easy to stay up there," he told Tuttosport. Vucinic then stated that he was pleased with his display against Milan and underlined the significance of the win. "I felt very well out there, especially after the final whistle. We will celebrate this important victory."

Oct 3, 2011 Giorgio Chiellini has praised Antonio Conte's role in Juventus' 2-0 Serie A win over rivals AC Milan at the Juventus Stadium on Sunday evening. Conte decided to use Chiellini at left-back with Leonardo Bonucci starting alongside Andrea Barzagli at centre-back, and the former Livorno star feels the defensive reshuffle paid off. "Conte wanted us to be more physical in defence. We worked on Saturday afternoon and I realised I was going to play there [left-back]," Chiellini was quoted as saying by Juventus Channel. "Paolo De Ceglie was not well and couldn't play, but Bonucci was good and could help us in defence. "There was a desire to create a magical evening. We ended up exhausted, but still finished the stronger team." The victory puts Juventus joint top of Serie A. They are now level with Udinese on 11 points from five games - six points ahead of Milan.

Oct 2, 2011 AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri believes Juventus fully deserved their 2-0 victory on Sunday evening, and branded his own side's performance as the worst of the season so far. The Serie A holders were unable to take anything from their trip to Turin as two goals from Claudio Marchisio decided the match in the dying stages. Allegri conceded that the hosts were the better team and noted that fatigue took its toll on his men. "Juventus had a great match, while we were not up to the task," he told Sky Sport Italia. "I am not happy with the result, but they did more than us. "It is a shame to concede four minutes before the end - despite our poor performance we were hoping to bring home one point. "It is normal that after a month and a half with the same players they get tired." The 44-year-old added that Milan had their share of chances on goal, but admitted his side were far from their best. "We had some chances to score, we could have secured the draw, and it is a shame things did not work out that way," Allegri said. "This was our worst performance this season, Juventus deserved this victory." AC Milan are now 15th in the league's standings, with just five points from as many games. This was the club's second defeat in Serie A this season, following the 3-1 loss at Napoli last month.
