Buffon eyes Anfield win Monday 4 April, 2005
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon is looking for his team to net a healthy advantage in the first leg of their Champions’ League tie at Liverpool.
The Bianconeri face the Premiership side at Anfield on Tuesday and the shot-stopper is keen to gain an instant grip of the quarter-final tie.
"It is important that we get a good result away from home so that we can be calm going into the second game," said the Italian international.
"They will have a few selection difficulties but the fact that they have reached this far in the competition proves that they have a strong squad."
Juventus will go into the game just hours after their weekend trip to Fiorentina was postponed following the Pope’s death.
"That won’t affect us," assured the former Parma man. "An important man has gone but we are professionals and we know what we must do."
Liverpool don’t bring back happy memories for Jonathan Zebina, Emerson and boss Fabio Capello after Roma were defeated in controversial circumstances back in 2002.
"It will be a totally different game," stated the French defender. "But that memory will obviously act as an extra stimulus to do well."
Tomorrow’s match is also set to be an emotional occasion, given that the two sides meet competitively for the first time since the 1985 Heysel disaster in which 39 fans died.
"We must keep learning from that event to make sure that it never happens again," stated director general Luciano Moggi.
