"Max is right...". Juventus - Tottenham, no dram according to Marcello Lippi. The former bianconeri coach has faced two Champions League games that difficult, getting back on track against all odds. Lippi is on Allegri's side: "I totally agree with him - has he told Tuttosport -. Max is right and it's good he pulls clearly off all the negativity coming from outside. Winning is no guaranty in Champions League. Tottenham is an excellent side. If the 2-2 came with the bianconeri getting back to the score, scoring 2 goals instead of taking these goals, everyone would give another speech regarding the return leg. There's a bit of bitterness after the way the game started but it's not over yet. There's another game, they won't fail at Wembley.
It's not only about getting a win, they could get to the next round with another 2-2 and an additional goal after the 90 minutes. There are some analogies with our quarters of final in 2003. We drew 1-1 against Barcelona in Turin and then got to Camp Nou to get to the semi-finals. We got there thanks to Nedved, Xavi equalized and played with 10 men after Davids' red card. In the additional time, Birindelli crosses and Zalayeta scores. We destroyed the Spanish teams during that Champions League campaign. We won against Deportivo La Coruna before Barcelona and have Real Madrid out of the tournament in the semi-finals".
"Did Buffon make a mistake? Does it make sens to criticize Buffon? Absolutely not. He's been in the middle because he might have expected a shot above the wall. If he didn't do it and Eriksen would have shot in that way, everyone would have then criticized him for that".
The whole interview is in today's Tuttosport.
