19th August 2001

Italian Super Cup

Angelo Peruzzi decided not to play in this match… so we suffered a heavy defeat against our southern rivals.

26th August 2001

Tough first game of Serie A. We managed to salvage a point, but the team hasn’t got off to a great start this season — Juninho included.

9th September 2001

In the second match, we played a bit better and beat La Lupa. Juni provided an assist.

14th October 2001

Big win for Juve at Bergamo. Juninho scored his first goal of the season…

but it’s not a free kick. I hope it won’t be another season without free kicks.

23rd October 2001

Huge victory against Red Star but this is without Juninho…

3rd November 2001

Crucial 3 points against Milan. Juninho for Thuram.

After nine matches, we are unbeaten and 5 points clear of Napoli.

Perfect run for Juventus for the moment in Europe.

Juninho and Luizão’s Brazil just qualified for World Cup 2002. Will Juninho play in his first World Cup?

20th November 2001

For the first match of the second phase of Champions League, Juventus crushed Heerenveen. Juninho made an assist and scored…

a diving header.

24th November 2001

Another big win for bianconeri. Juninho is the man of the match with one assist and one goal…

which is his first free kick of the season !

1st December 2001

Another game with a lot of goals scored and a clean sheet. Juninho scored his 5th and 6th goal of the season and, above all, his 50th goal for Juventus. First time he has reached that number with a club.

9th December 2001

With this victory against Napoli,

with two assists by our protagonist,

we are now 8 points clear of our southern rivals.
