Super Alex keeps Europe alive

It's been a little while since I last wrote. The depressing results mixed with a busy schedule have made it hard for me to sit down and write. However just like Juventus, this past week has rejuvenated me. The 2-1 win was the result of two wonderful goals. First Milos Krasic with an excellent volley. Over the last few games he has returned to the form that the tifosi loved so much early on in the season. The second goal came from none other than the capitano himself. Super Alex with a wonderful run down the middle of the field finished with a superb left footed shot finding the back of the net. His reaction says it all. One could not help but notice the look of pure determination and joy as he banged on the glass in front of the fans. After once again been forced to prove himself to the coach, Alessandro Del Piero did not disappoint. With Iaquinta out, we can expect Alex to see much more playing time. His age may be a point of concern but I predict a much more energetic Juventus going through to the end of the season with him on the field.
It is sad that the state of Juventus has reached a point where a win against lowly Brescia is something to rejoice about, but this is the state of the club. No game is guaranteed and neither is Europe. I will not say that everything is going to be fine from here on out and that after next match Europa league will be only two points away. That is false. There are still some games to be played and the club needs to focus on winning each week. Hopefully, either due to the lack of strikers or last week's performance, Del Neri will finally realize what he has been missing by not playing Del Piero or only playing him in moments that are irrelevant (what was he supposed to do in the last ten minutes against Milan). Juventus can win out, it is not impossible, however to do so everyone must play to the best of their abilities. Forza Juventus.
