Christian Vieri

“I said it at the beginning of the year,”

Vieri told

Asked about Juventus’ performance, Vieri responded:

“Juve must play better. Period. You can win or lose, it’s part of the game, but they must play better.

“In Naples you can’t play these games. They must win and play good football. And this doesn’t mean being Barcelona or Ajax….

“In teams like Juve you have to give something more, that’s why the shirts are heavy.”
