Marchionni: "I Have Won Juve Back!"

Amongst the secrets of Juventus of the 2008/09 season there is definitely great team spirit with each and every element giving an important contribution. This aspect emerged with the cycle of consecutive victories – the one between October and November and the in the past few matches – which were both registered notwithstanding the many injuries.

Claudio Ranieri could always count on the contribution of his boys. Amongst these, one of the symbols is definitely Marco Marchionni. After the first two seasons characterized by too much bad luck, the wing from Rome is living a great year in which he managed to show his great talent which landed him in Juventus:

"This year I managed to win Juve back. I really wished I could do so and show my worth and I am really happy with the contribution I managed to make. I was disappointed with this slight injury which made me miss the Champions League match but now I have recovered and am well".

Marchionni is one of the team members who are back. In a week during which the national teams are giving everyone the possibility to win back their breath, the bianconeri are preparing the final sprint for a championship which nobody thinks is over:

"Within ten days we will have everybody back and we will have abundance problems – confirmed Marco – and this can not but make us hope for the best. Obviously we still believe in it otherwise we would not be here. We want to continue bothering Inter. We are happy with what we are achieving even though we know that seven points are not easy to recover but we still have the direct match to play at home".

The big match against Inter is like a crossroad in the championship but before the encounter with the nerazzurri, the fixtures foresee two matches which Juve must win to reach the match in best condition. Marchionni is a good incarnation of the Juve mentality:

"We will continue thinking of one match at a time. After the break we must play against a recovering Chievo and then against Genoa. We must win and hope in a slip by Inter. Otherwise we will try to cut down on the points margin in the direct encounter which is the most important thing, knowing that very often in the last few matches everything changes. There is also the Coppa Italia which is within reach".
