octor Umberto Agnelli met the press at the
Comunale, to whom he expressed all his satisfaction for the 26th Title: "I

Will Juventus plat in Turin next year?
"If the council will give us the stadium yes, other wise we will consider
moving. The ideal would be to have our own ground, but also the Delle Alpi would
be fine, as long as it belongs to us and has the configuration and structure to
host our fans. We are still waiting news form the council".
Giraudo's future?
"Giraudo will carry on working for us for sure. We hasn't signed yet, but
we don't need these things amongst us".
Football and economic matters
"At the moment the cost to maintain these teams are unsustainable. The
incomes are going down. We know the broadcasting company's problems, which
through out these years have helped us. We must structure the company and team
that at the end of the year will have to cost less. We must invest on younger
player's".
Back to real football, did you believe in this Scudetto?
"Honestly I did have a vague hope. As my brother said I'd like to repeat
that he started in believing in it after what Sensi said! Anyway it was an
immense joy that I lived intensely"
The future?
"Our season isn't over yet, we still have the Coppa Italia final to play.
This morning I spoke with Tanzi who congratulated himself for our victory and I
told him that we want to win and will do no favours".
Did Moratti phone you?
"No, not yet"
And Sensi?
"I don't know him. Anyway both Roma and Inter deserve an applause as they
contributed to make this championship interesting and beautiful"
What would you like to say to Zidane?
"I wish Zidane, as I already said when he went away, to have professional
and personal success. We didn't win because Zidane wasn't with us, but because
the team was rebuilt in a different manner".
Is this the best Scudetto?
"The last one is always the best one, but the one that I remember with most
affection is the tenth one, as it had a special meaning".
