http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Claudio-Marchisio-c9312 has stated that Juventus must win the upcoming fixture against Shakhtar Donetsk, even though they can qualify with a draw
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 International will have to sit out Wednesday's UEFA Champions League match due to a suspension he gained in a previous match. The away match will be crucial for Juve who have not yet qualified and are one point away from
it.
Although a draw will suffice, the team are looking to walk away with a win over the Ukrainian champions. The Bianconeri are looking to top the pool, which will not be possible if they equalise.
"A draw is not what we're after. It's a risk for both teams to play for a draw. We have to go there to play our own game and try to win the match," Marchisio stated.
The midfielder warned that the Group E leaders are not to be taken lightly and are formidable opponents. The Ukrainian club has managed to defeat Chelsea who got a bit overconfident despite being notified of their opponent’s ability
to upset bigger teams.
The Old Lady won their game against Chelsea recently and are now in a good place, confidence wise. But they are not going to repeat Chelsea’s mistake. The Turin side will not get comfortable until victory is secured.
"We are aware of their quality. They sit atop of the group and are the strongest team we have faced so far. It's true that we put in a great performance against Chelsea, but we aren't there yet," commented the 26 year old.
The Hirnyky side’s biggest asset is their element of surprise, with which they have secured top position in their respective group. They are relatively unknown in the rest of Europe and that has worked to their advantage.
"It will not be an easy game and we will have to put in a performance similar to the one against Chelsea. We have to remain cautious and cannot let them surprise us," said Marchisio wisely.
The number 8 will miss this important match because of a suspension he earned through a third yellow card in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 game.
