Defender Fabio Grosso may have already played 10 league matches for Juventus, but he will remember this one more vividly, as he scored his first goal for the Bianconeri, securing maximum points against Udinese.

Grosso's goal was the difference between the two teams, and kept up the pressure on league leaders Inter., who are still five points clear of the Vecchia Signora.

"This goal gave me so much emotion," the Italian international told the club's official website, Juventus.it. "Most of all because it gave us three points.

"It was particular one, as an defender made an assist to another stopper.

"After the goal, I wanted to immediately hug [Martín] Cáceres because half of the merit goes to him.

"This victory allowed us getting closer to Inter.

"We are still far away, but we know we have all possibility to do well and win the championship."

Grosso will be returning to France this week to face Bordeaux, a country where he plied his trade for several seasons.

"Wednesday in Bordeaux? I know well that stadium and that atmosphere," he stated. "It’s a dangerous team and they showed it by already qualifying.

"I don’t know if they will have important absences, there are still three days to go, and anyway, we must think only about ourselves.
