A year after, it’s once again a 19th of October with Champions League in their minds, waiting for an essential match for “bianconero” path.
If in 2008 everybody was waiting for Real Madrid to arrive to Torino, now Juventus is waiting for Maccabi Haifa, a less titrated team but against which Ferrara’s team wants to achieve a victory that would be fundamental.
First of all to gain three golden points for run-up to knockout round, but also for putting an end to a particular period, during which success is missing since five official matches.
A situation that, partly, recalls one year ago situation. At least in Giorgio Chiellini’s head, who confessed in exclusive for Juventus.com: «Also then we were in a particular period.
Championship was going worse than that because we already suffered two defeats and we were even more behind in standings. Moreover we were in emergency due to the many injuries. The victory vs. Real Madrid represented the turning point and immediately after that we centered a series of victories that re-launched us. It must be the same also this time».
From Real to Maccabi. Israeli won’t have the Spanish’s potential, but they are opponents to be faced with necessary concentration. Chiellini knows main pitfalls:
«Wednesday we’ll have to play with the same intensity we had one year ago vs. Real.
We must absolutely win this match and the following one in Tel Aviv, in order to arrive at our best to the last two matches of the round. We do not know much about Maccabi, I know forward Dvalishvili, because I faced him one month ago with the Italian National Team vs. Georgia. It’s about a team to respect also for what they did vs. Bayern Monaco and Bordeaux, when they were beaten only at the end».
