Ferrara: «Against Samp we have to be a top level Juve»

Having returned to victory, thanks to the two 1-0 wins against Maccabi and Siena, Juventus wants to extend the series, just like at the start of the season when a poker of victories in the championship gave out an important sign.

A victory against Sampdoria, the next opponents at the Olimpico, will have a double weight. First of all it will weigh on the table since it would mean Juve overtaking the blucerchiati and a guaranteed second place. It will also show that the unhappy moment of Juventus is definitely over.

In Turin, Del Neri’s team is expected with the knowledge that it is doing well and which is in great shape. To beat the blucerchiati, knows what is necessary: : «We need a top level Juve to beat the team which is in most in form at the moment. To win we must play a great match. Decisive match? Here they are always decisive and we must try to take advantage of the home stadium. Cassano? He is strong this year as he was in the last year or when I played against him as a player. He is decisive and fundamental but Sampdoria had an excellent game organization which allows even other players to do well».

To face a well launched Sampdoria, Ferrara would have liked to have a complete squad, however after Iaquinta he also lost Caceres (nose fracture) and Felipe Melo received a blow in the last training session. All this, however, does not frighten the coach: «I am hopeful about Felipe. I think he can recover without any problems. Injuries and suspensions are part of the job. The important thing is knowing how to manage these situations. Nonetheless I have an excellent and numerous squad at my disposal. I have faith in those who will be playing and Samp at the moment is capable of motivating the team».
