Ranieri awaits Marassi battle
Friday 26 September, 2008
Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri expects a tough game against Sampdoria but believes his side can build on the positives from their draw with Catania.
The Old Lady travel to Marassi to take on a struggling Sampdoria side, who are yet to register a League win this season.
But Ranieri's men are also determined to get back to winning ways after a frustrating draw with Catania in mid-week.
“We drew but that doesn't mean that this game is a must-win,” Ranieri insisted.
“We must stay calm and regain the energies and motivation without playing with apprehension.
“Perhaps the game against Catania was two points lost but we made lots of chances and the goals will surely come in future.
“I don't want to look for excuses, but the pitch didn't help - maybe rugby players would be happier on that surface.”
This weekend provides the Bianconeri with the ideal chance to put pressure on Inter, who face Milan in a derby.
“Of course I will be watching but I won't be supporting anyone,” Ranieri said. “I will just be an interested spectator.”
Jose Mourinho has caused controversy in the peninsula by sending assistant Beppe Baresi to conduct Press conferences after the last two games, a practice that Ranieri doesn't approve of.
“It's hard to stay more than an hour after a game to give interviews,” he admitted.
“I have joked with Jean-Claude Blanc that I should be paid double because I have another game after the final whistle.
“However, I think that being in a Press conference is seen as a form of respect to Italian fans
“It's a part of our job and it's only right to satisfy the curiosity of millions of people.”
Ranieri concluded by refusing to accept the favourites' tag for the trip to Liguria.
“There are no easy games and everyone is very even,” he insisted.
“Lecce did well at San Siro, Genoa are in great form and likewise Sampdoria are always a strong team to play against.”
The history books show that Juve have won this fixture 49 times to Samp's 21 with 32 draws - including last term's 3-3.
