http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gianluigi-Buffon-c14833, the experienced goalkeeper of Juventus, has warned their opposition in the UEFA Champions League to expect a tough fight in their midweek clash.
The captain of the Turin giants has gone on to confirm that his side have matured and have enough quality about them to contest at the highest level of competition available to European teams. Asides from his claims that the team have gone on to perform
to the best of their abilities in their matches so far, the experienced goalie has been around enough times to know the ill effects that complacency can have on a team.
The Turin giants did not go to the great start that was expected of them in the UEFA Champions League, as they drew their first three games in their group stages. However, after the third match in the Lega, they went on to up the ante, and made a great comeback
into the group stages with a thoroughly convincing victory over Nordsjaelland.
They went on to perform exceptionally well in their fifth group stage match as they performed superbly against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, defeating them by a 3-0 score line. They have clawed their way back in the group stages, and are very near to the finish line.
The Bianconeri outfit only need a point to guarantee their inclusion in the knockout round of the Champions League. Buffon was talking to the press and during his conversation with the media, he remarked that the team would be looking to keep up the pressure
against the opposition and also reflected that Shakhtar would not be complacent, as they are not playing under pressure.
He also voiced his concerns over the match and was quoted to have said:
“The biggest danger behind a game like this is that the third result emerges, the one that wouldn’t make us very happy. More than anything else, we know the quality of our opponents and we respect them a great deal. It’s true they have already qualified,
but it’s also true that in these situations a team has nothing to lose and feels no pressure.”
The Turin giants will be travelling away to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 to secure qualification into the next round.
