CUPER: "WE MUST NEVER THINK WE HAVE WON BEFORE PLAYING THE MATCH."

APPIANO GENTILE - Hector Cuper press conference (5).

After two matches played together, are you expecting anything extra from Vieri and Batistuta tomorrow?
I always expect something extra. I will be pleased if they make the movements I ask of them. Then, if Vieri and Batistuta score, better still. I will be satisfied if I see that they do what I ask of them.

How's Dalmat?
If I consider Dalmat to be important for us from the first minute, in the second half or for three minutes, then he will play. However, he's well, both physically and psychologically.

Do you think tomorrow you'll be able to gain an advantage over your rivals for the Scudetto?
I'm focused on our match. Then, when we finish ours, I will ask the results of the other matches and we'll see whether there's an advantage or not. We must never think we have won before playing the match.

Will Juventus have difficulties without Del Piero?
We've had players injured for a lot of matches. Del Piero is very important and Juventus will suffer due to his absence. But when the team is in difficulty, those that go onto the pitch usually give something extra. Whoever plays in Del Piero's place will give his best.

Are you considering making any changes to your midfield tomorrow to resolve the potential difficulties?
I'm not thinking about changing the men, but rather the movements to be made.
