The manager insists that the Juventus visit is a big occasion for the club, and the team is fuelled to give the league leaders a run for their money.
Attilio Tesser has revealed that his lads are already breathing in the atmosphere ahead of the game, but insists that the team must focus completely on the competition with the Italian giants.
Juventus are currently placed at the top of the Serie A points table, three points clear of AC Milan, while Novara are placed deep into the relegation zone with little hope of survival.
There is a lot of excitement surrounding the local derby that has not occurred for 55 years. The occasion has been made extra special by the expected visit of Juve legends Platini and Boniperti, who will grace the stands during
the match as their families originate from Novara.
Tesser stated that everyone is basking in the excitement surrounding the game, and the venue is expected to be jam packed during the match. However, he insisted that the players cannot let the excitement divert their focus from
the crucial game.
The chief insisted that he has big plans for the clash, and hopes that they will come true on the day. The manager insisted that their desperate situation in the league, will only serve to fire up the players with even more motivation.
He went on to state that the game could mean life and death for the team in Italy’s top flight.
While talking to the press, the Novara tactician said:
“There is the atmosphere of the big occasion around this game and the stadium will be packed out, while you can already breathe the air of excitement in the city. However, we must not be touched by that. We hope to make our intentions
become real on the pitch. Facing this team, at this stage of the season and with everything this game could be worth, fires us up to a remarkable degree.”
