Del Piero eyes triple trophy haul with Juve and Italy
Capello: 'We deserved to win'
Juventus striker Alessandro Del Piero has set his sights on a treble of Serie A, Champions League and World Cup titles after scoring the winner in a 2-1 victory over Inter at the weekend.
The 31-year-old Italy international curled in a free-kick in the 85th minute of the game at the San Siro stadium to give his side 66 points from 25 matches, 12 points more than Milan and Inter.
"They are all achievable objectives," he said yesterday.
"I'm really delighted at how I've been playing in the autumn of my career - as someone defined it."
Del Piero spent long periods on the bench during the early part of the season as Juve coach Fabio Capello fielded a strike pairing of David Trezeguet and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Gradually, however, he has reclaimed a regular starting place.
Last month he became Juve's most prolific striker of all time, surpassing Giampiero Boniperti's record of 182 goals.
The goal against Inter took his tally to 190. Sunday's match was the third occasion in four weeks that Del Piero had proved decisive following goals in 1-0 victories against Udinese and Reggina.
With 13 matches left to play, the chances of either Inter or Milan prising the title away from Juventus are growing increasingly remote.
"I don't know if the goal against Inter was the one that will decide the title. We have still got quite a few matches ahead of us," Del Piero said.
"But without doubt it is a great advantage. From now on all we've got to do the thing we do best: keep our foot on the pedal."
Juventus coach Fabio Capello was happy with the team's performance but was cautious in his comments.
"We are delighted. I think we deserved the win for the way we played against Inter," Capello said. "What pleased me the most is that we never stopped trying to go forward. We never tried to settle for a draw.
"We have a big advantage now but we still need to be careful. There are several dangerous teams still to come. Just look at Roma - they've won nine games in a row now."
During Sunday's match, Inter briefly thought they had taken the lead three minutes before half-time when Adriano hit a free-kick past goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
However, referee Gianluca Papa-resta signalled that the free-kick was indirect and no player touched the ball except for Adriano before it entered the net.
