Gianluigi Buffon: Every Serie A Match Will Be Like A Final For Juventus
The Italian international insists that the Bianconeri cannot afford to slip-up...
Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has urged his side to treat every league match as if it were a final in order to avoid losing points to their rivals this season, starting with the clash against Chievo Verona on Sunday.
"We have to take the field in every match with the desire to not allow points for our opponents, because every point could weigh on the final standings," he explained on his own official website, gianluigibuffon.com.
"We expect 38 finals and the one with Chievo will be the first. They arrive in Turin on the wings of enthusiasms they achieved salvation last year. We should beware of their pace and [striker Sergio] Pellissier.
Indeed, the Flying Donkeys forward notched a hat-trick last season at the Stadio Olimpico in a 3-3 draw.
The Bianconeri are eager to win the Scudetto in 2009-10, after an ambitious summer transfer campaign that featured the arrivals of Diego from Werder Bremen, Felipe Melo from Fiorentina, and Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro from Real Madrid.
