Deschamps pleased with victoryJuventus boss Didier Deschamps was happy with the performance of his team following their 2-0 victory over Serie B rivals Napoli.
“I never said that a draw would suit me,” said Deschamps.
“I always set out the side to go for all three points. You could see that in our attitude from the start, as we created plenty of chances and kept the pressure up all over the pitch.”
He added: “In the big games, the champions always make the difference,”
“I did not need to motivate my men, if anything I had to maintain calm and sharpness. We really wanted to prove ourselves in front of a quality opponent and did far more than Napoli today.”
Deschamps went on to praise man of the match Pavel Nedved saying: “If I could clone Nedved, then I would do so immediately. It is difficult to find players with this kind of mentality.
“As for Del Piero, he played a great game, especially towards the end. He held up the ball and allowed the team to take a breather when they were in 10 men. I didn’t have many options at that stage, as they passed to the 4-4-2 and I could only leave Del Piero alone upfront.”
