Marchisio: “Alex and Gigi helped me relax”
Claudio Marchisio made his first start in Juventus colours this evening, helping the Bianconeri to a 2-0 defeat of Brescia. “My actual debut was on Saturday, even if it was only for five minutes. I knew it was going to be a tough match, Brescia are a good side, but Alex Del Piero and Gigi Buffon helped me relax and focus on my game”. The game had added significance with Juventus celebrating it’s 109th birthday today. “It was an emotional day, not just because of the party. The Primavera were awarded at half-time for the titles we won last year, and it was strange not being there, strange for my Primavera team mates as well. It’s a dream to play for the first team”.
