The year is about to come to an end and for Momo Sissoko this is certainly not a bad thing. 2009 was not one of the luckiest for the Mali midfielder, who was forced to stop for many a month due to the fracture to his leg suffered in march and a series of minor injuries, the last of which on the eve of the match against Bayern.
Out of the match on Sunday against Catania and even of the charity match on Monday night at the Olimpico, for which he took part in a presentation press conference this afternoon, Sissoko is already thinking of the new year.
"I want a great 2010 both for Juve and for me. I hope to be able to play many matches and not to have injuries. It is hard to be out and not able to help your team mates. If my absence was determinant? I don’t think so because in a team each and everyone makes a difference, not only me".
Next January, Momo will be celebrating his second year at Juventus. Two years in which he often made a difference. He adapted very quickly and as from the first few matches was well integrated with the team and with Italian football. To whom is now criticizing some of his team mates like Diego and Felipe Melo, the Mali player defends his team mates and answers:
"I immediately felt at home here and never thought of leaving. If Juve decided to invest on Diego and Felipe Melo it is because they are champions. Everybody may go through difficult moments, but we are all sure that they will give us a hand during the rest of the season".
Finally a though about racism. The charity match on Monday night, which will see a selection of European players play against a selection of African players, is an excellent point to start speaking of a subject which is too often linked to football:
"I don’t like certain attitudes at the stadium – concluded Sissoko -, also because matches are also followed by children and this is not a good example for them. We are all equal, black or white, and we must live together. However, more then racism, I would say it is a matter of ignorance".
