The Old Lady midfielder not impressed with the dropped points against Bologna; believes that his team can still overcome the threat of AC Milan.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Claudio-Marchisio-c9312 is still upbeat of his team’s chances of winning the Scudetto, stating that the Turin giants will present a tough challenge to AC Milan.
Juve were held to their 13th draw of the evening, as Mirko Vucinic’s late winner secured a point for the Old Lady against Bologna on Wednesday, March 7. The Turin giants now sit two points behind league leaders, AC Milan, having played the same number of games.
Marchisio is upset with the draw against Bologna, but believes that the team is in the right shape to challenge AC Milan for the title. He believes that the Old Lady played great football against a motivated Bologna side, and coped well after being reduced to ten men.
While talking to the reporters, Marchisio said:
“We are two points away from Milan and we gained a point on [third-placed] http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775. The team is in good shape, we’re running hard and we didn’t lose our shape even after we went down to 10 men.”
The Italian international is still hurt with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marco-Di-Vaio-c23689’s goal in the 17th minute, stating that the goal should have been avoided.
Juventus were without the services of their preferred centre-back partnership of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-Bonucci-c22064. The 26-year-old refused to blame the injuries for his team’s dropped points, insisting that there is enough depth and quality in the squad to make for the absences.
“It was like being slapped. But we mustn’t make excuses and it shouldn’t take a goal against us to wake us up. Bologna are in very good shape and played a great game. We can’t think about the absences. The squad is competitive and that’s already been seen. We’ve got confidence in ourselves and in the group, this was also made evident this evening.”
The former Empoli star also praised goal-scorer, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mirko-Vucinic-c26024, and believes that the strike will do a world of good to the Montenegrin’s confidence.
Juventus will face Genoa in their next game at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Sunday, March 11.
