Trezeguet: I Want To Score For My Mother
Juventus striker David Trezeguet aims to celebrate his mother’s birthday by scoring against Roma on Sunday.
The Bianconeri travel to the Eternal City in a much anticipated clash between two of Italy’s most bitter rivals.
“I want to give my mother a gift for her birthday and score against Roma,” Trezeguet told La Gazzetta dello Sport. “Two years ago I scored two goals here and it is a game I have been dying to play for a year.”
Trezeguet stayed loyal to the Bianconeri after they were relegated to Serie B for their part in the Calciopoli scandal in 2006. The Frenchman admits it is good to be playing the top teams again.
“These kind of games we missed last season - playing at a stadium like the Olimpico against a spectacular squad who are aiming to win the Scudetto,” said the Frenchman.
Trezeguet also offered his views on his controversial substitution in last week’s disappointing defeat against Udinese. The ex-Monaco hitman was replaced by Vincenzo Iaquinta early into the second half.
“When I was substituted I did not want to come off because we were losing and I wanted to help us get back in the game. However I think Ranieri took me off because I had played a full game for France in midweek. Unfortunately we did not find the equaliser,” concluded Trezeguet.
