The Juventus central defender has remarked that the Turin outfit will be looking to impose themselves on the match, and are not participating to fill the numbers.
The Bianconeri outfit will be making their first appearance since the 2009-10 season in the Champions League, and for a side that was once famous for their European prowess and all the clubs across the continent feared facing the Bianconeri outfit in European
competitions.
For a team who have such history in the Champions League not to be involved in the premier competition of European football has been a pity. Juventus finally made their way back into the competition, and they did with great class as well.
After lagging behind the Scudetto race ever since the Calciopoli controversy rocked Italian football, Juve broke all records on their way to reach the holy grail of Italian football, Lo Scudetto. They remained unbeaten throughout the course of the season,
and were by far the worthiest team to have won it.
The might of Juventus can be seen by the fact that the desired defensive line up of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 constituted of the Turin line of defence. It was the trio of Bonucci-Barzagli-Chiellini that dominated teams from all over Europe.
Despite the history of the Bianconeri outfit in the competition, there are many players who will be looking to make their debuts in the competition. Bonucci would be one of those players looking to make their debut, and the stopper went on to state:
“It will be a dream come true. To get to play in the Champions League is an important achievement. However, it should be a point of departure and not one of arrival.”
He went on to state that they have strong belief that they can go far ahead in the competition and went on to state that they are fully prepared for the match, and remarked:
“Wednesday will just be the first game, the first experience and we’ll go to Stamford Bridge in the knowledge that we are a strong squad, but with the humility that we will have to work harder than they do to get a result.”
Juve will be going to Stamford Bridge to play their first UEFA Champions League group match.
