Juventus coach Ciro Ferrara has admitted his relief after his side edged out Udinese 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico tonight.

The Old Lady were far from their best, but a goal early in the second half from Fabio Grosso was enough to win all three points.

“We won a very difficult match and these are going to be three very important points,” said Ferrara.

“It’s true we struggled a little to find space, especially in the first half, but the only thing that counted tonight was to win."

Ferrara also was happy to see second half substitutes Alessandro Del Piero and Momo Sissoko return successfully following injury layoffs, while he looked ahead to Wednesday's Champions League tie against Bordeaux in France.

“It was also positive to see Del Piero and Sissoko back in action, they helped contribute to the victory," continued Ferrara.

“Inter? Right now I am more focused on Bordeaux."
