World Cup 2010: Iaquinta Hints At South Africa Place
Iaquinta has two objectives: Ending his career in Turin and securing a World Cup place with Italy.
Dec 12, 2009 3:46:57 AM
Juventus striker Vincenzo Iaquinta is planning to stay at the club for the rest of his career as he eyes a World Cup place with Italy.
The Italian has just returned to training after spending six weeks out on the sidelines with a knee meniscus injury. Having had surgery, his recovery is progressing well and he hopes to make a speedy return as he pledges his allegiance to the Turin-based side.
"Will I end my career here? I really hope so. Juventus are a massive club and it's every players dream to wear the shirt," he told Sky Sport Italia.
"I hope to get to 2013 with this shirt."
The 2010 World Cup is just months away, and Iaquinta is hoping to play a part in South Africa with La Nazionale. The striker appears unsure over guarantees, but he has devised a plan - a hard slog and faith.
"I'm not sure if I am certain to go [to South Africa]. It all depends on how I do for Juventus," he added.
"Football is difficult. You just have to keep your feet on the ground and work hard. The decisions are always made by the coach."
