Ferrara demands Berlusconi win Sunday 16 August, 2009

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus boss Ciro Ferrara targets another victory over Milan in Monday’s Trofeo Berlusconi. “Taking part is not enough.”

The Bianconeri are fresh from winning their first ever Trofeo TIM, a mini-tournament of 45-minute games that saw them beat Inter on penalties and the Rossoneri 2-0.


This is another traditional pre-season test at San Siro, albeit one with a 'curse’ attached, as rumour has it the team that wins will go on to lose the Scudetto.


“This is a game it is always best to win, as with all friendlies, because that has to be our approach,” said Ferrara.


Taking part is not enough, we must always win and this is why we are not prioritising certain competitions. We want to battle to the end on all fronts.”


Amauri pounced on a late Nelson Rivas error to secure the 1-1 draw with Inter on Friday night, going on to win on penalties.


“Inter proved, if it was still needed, that they are sill a very strong side and they set the bar for those who follow.


“Milan had several problems in pre-season. I am certain they will get back on track and soon we will see a different team. After all, they are eager to impress their own fans and President, but so are we.”


Juventus will make their Serie A debut next Sunday against Chievo in Turin.


“It is good to work in a climate of enthusiasm, but we must also keep our feet on the ground. We know that we must work hard and improve some things.”

Ferrara targets European glory



Ciro Ferrara has set his sights on winning the Champions League in his rookie season as Coach of Juventus.

The 42-year-old former centre-back took over from Claudio Ranieri as a caretaker in May and was handed the role on a permanent basis a month later.

Asked to choose between winning the Scudetto or the Champions League, Ferrara replied: “Juventus have to play for both until the end.

“As a player I liked winning the Scudetto, but I know the fans really want the Champions League as they have won 29 Scudetti.”

Reflecting on the title race, Ferrara told Tuttosport: “Teams have strengthened well and they have Scudetto ambitions, but all those who finished behind Inter last year know they have to chase them.”

Asked if something had changed in the dressing room, Ferrara replied: “I haven't been here in the last few years. I cannot judge.

“I know what I am looking to do, but there will surely be difficult moments and there we will see the unity of the group.”

Looking forward to this weekend's match against Roma, Ferrara said: “They are one of the candidates for the Scudetto.

“It's the first away game of our championship and it's also tough because the Giallorossi will want to make a good impression after having lost to Genoa.”

Asked if he would have one eye on the Milan derby, Ferrara replied: “Sincerely, I am only thinking about Roma-Juve.

“I will watch the game, but at the moment the result of the derby has little importance,” he concluded.

No Ciro, no. You can't aim for the CL league with Grygera and Zebina. You would be lying to yourself and the fans.
