Emerson explains winning goal
Emerson has described what happened when he scored against Werder Bremen.
Juventus midfielder Emerson has confessed that he did not know the ball was at his feet until team-mate Fabio Cannavaro told him.The Brazilian was gifted the goal by a howler from Werder Bremen goalkeeper Tim Wiese two minutes from time to send the Italians through to the UEFA Champions League quarter final on the away goals rule.
However, Emerson has confirmed he knew nothing about the fumble until his centre back pointed it out.
"I didn't see it, Cannavaro started shouting 'Puma, Puma, Puma' [Emerson's nickname] so I turned my head and saw the keeper had lost the ball," he said.
Despite the gift, Emerson believes that his side were not lucky to go through.
"If there was a team that was lucky it was Werder.
"We created a lot of chances but Wiese stopped everything.
"We are really happy, we deserved to go through and proved we were the better team."
