David Trezeguet Pleased With Goal Against Fulham

Juventus hitman David Trezeguet was pleased that his side defeated Fulham 3-1 in the first leg of their Europa League round of 16 clash.

But there is some doubt over whether the Frenchman got the final touch on the goal awarded to him.

“[Hasan] Salihamidzic claims that he touched it last, but I did not see it. If he says this, then I have faith in him. As it stands, this goal I will keep to myself,” the 32-year-old affirmed to Tuttosport. “The important thing is that the team won.

“This is a big step forward for the side. My last goal in Europe was against Bayern Munich on that fateful night, and am pleased to have scored again.

“We are going through a better period as a team, as the victory against Fiorentina gave us a lift.

“There is still a long way to go in the Europa League, but we are working towards going as far as we can. The quality of players are there, and Juventus are a side accustomed to winning,” concluded Trezeguet.

Trezeguet warns Fulham: ‘We want to end trophy drought’

David Trezeguet last night warned Juventus are determined to end their trophy drought in the Europa League this season.

Juventus are currently labouring in fifth in the table and will be without the injured Gianluigi Buffon, Giorgio Chiellini, Amauri and Martin Caceres tonight, while Felipe Melo is suspended. But France striker Trezeguet, who won the World Cup in 1998 and Euro 2000, said: “We want to win the Europa League and finish fourth in Serie A to qualify for the Champions League. “We haven’t won anything for years and it is time to show everyone we are still Juventus and a strong squad to be feared all over Europe.”
