Sunday will be an important day for Pirlo, when his former club AC Milan play his current side Juventus in a crunch match for the Italian league
The Old Lady recently added another feather to its cap by defeating the reigning European champions http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786. Not only did they defeat the men in Blue but they did so by quite a margin.
Not only has the Italian club increased it's chances of progressing into the knock out stages of the tournament, but have also made a massive statement to all their rivals by delivering this hammer blow to Chelsea.
"That was a great evening and we needed a victory like that to take a step towards qualification, even if we know that the last game with Shakhtar will be decisive,” Pirlo told the press.
“Beating the reigning European Champions gave us further belief in our own strength. We have always believed, but now we do even more.”
Milan have their own little motivational stories to help boost their morale. First the terrific points saver of a match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 where they equalized the game where initially they were 2-0 down. The second one more recent,
when in Wednesday’s match they defeated Anderlecht 3-1 which is a minor statement of intent in itself.
This string of successes should pull the Rossoneri out of the rut they have been stuck in lately. This just brings more excitement to Sunday’s game with both teams treating it as the ultimate test of dominance.
This Serie A contest is expected to be a good one given the fact that both teams will constantly try and outdo each other throughout the match. Pirlo is hoping however that the match will result in a Juventus victory.
“Facing Milan is special for me, but I just want Juve to win and continue playing like this. So far we have done well and Milan have had a few problems, but we only want to look at our own progress.”
The interest in the match is growing and if the hype is to be believed it promises to be a thrilling and adventurous night.
