Gigli applauds Tiago

Juventus midfielder Tiago Mendes enjoyed a rare start last night against AS Roma and president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli admits it was his best performance ever as a Bianconero.

The Old Lady eased past AS Roma at Stadio Olimpico, running away 2-0 winners thanks to a magnificent Alessandro Del Piero free-kick and a goal by Marco Marchionni in the second half.

"It was truly a great game and our players gave their all also in the second period, despite our midweek efforts at the Stadio Dall'Ara in Bologna", Gigli told Sky Sport after the encounter. "I saw great football tonight and I have to compliment all the lads."

Coach Claudio Ranieri's side had been badly stuttering in recent weeks. After the away win at Cagliari on September 21, they had picked up two draws and as many defeats in Serie A and the ex-Chelsea boss' job seemed on the line.

"I think that we have definitely improved now, and things are also getting much better on the physical front", continued the Juve president. "However, it is amazing, as we take to the pitch every 3 days, but all the players were in exceptional form tonight."

"And I want to congratulate Tiago in particular, as he had his best game in a Bianconeri shirt today. Will he be confirmed then? I don't know, it is too early to talk about this, but he really contributed to the side like I wanted him to."

Andrade To File Damages Claim

Andrade moved to the Turin giants last summer from Deportivo La Coruna for a fee in the region of €10m, but he fractured a kneecap in a match against Roma last September and has been out of action since.

This summer, it looked like he was on his way to recovery, but then suffered a repeat of the same injury and is unlikely to feature at all this term.

There were reports in September that the Bianconeri directors were seeking to rescind his contract, which runs out in 2010, as the stopper’s deal contains a clause that allows the unilateral termination in case he is on the sidelines for more than six months.

But his attorneys have now struck back and have sued the Old Lady, as his salary has apparently been frozen since July.

Even though Juve maintain they can annul the deal after six months, the 30-year-old’s lawyers have replied that the Bianconeri made him resume training too early, therefore the required six months have yet to pass.
