Manager Ranieri couldn't have hoped for a better reaction after the Napoli game. “His” Juventus won a difficult game, patiently taking their time after a tough first half. The Manager's analysis touched especially on this point: “It was a difficult game – he commented when interviewed by Juventus Channel – especially in the first half, when Empoli were fresher. It was hard to find a way through their defence, especially on the wings. In the second half the lads did well keeping the rhythm up and the first goal was vital, as after that it was all easy. Tiago? He played fantastically, I noticed that he was fitter and more confident in the last few days, he guided the team, worked well with Zanetti and made some great passes for the forwards. Now at last we can start to concentrate on Inter Milan, we want to try and win; we'll play a great match hoping to get a positive result”.
