Trez targets Platini total
Posted by Alex | Football Italia
David Trezeguet is looking to score more goals for Juventus than Michel Platini did – but will he be at the club for long enough to do so?
"It is my dream to outscore Platini," said the 26-year-old striker. "I’ve been in Italy for three and a half seasons and I’m already on 67 goals.
"Platini scored 104 during his time in Turin. I think that I can realistically look to go past that total."
However, the former Monaco man will almost certainly require to extend his stay at the Delle Alpi to overtake his legendary compatriot.
And it is no secret that talks over a contract renewal are nowhere near being concluded which has led to speculation regarding his future.
"I still have a year and a half to run on my current deal," explained the international. "Negotiations have yet to take place over an extension.
"We’ll probably have to wait and see what happens at the end of the season."
Trezeguet was in action over the weekend where he scored twice as European champions France beat Germany 3-0.
"I’m proud to have scored because that was the first time I’ve played against the Germans," he added.
Trezeguet also commented on the Golden Ball as he made it onto the 50-man shortlist last week.
"It is pleasing to be there and it is the dream of every footballer to win after the World Cup," he said.
"However, I do find it hard to understand why Raul of Real Madrid still hasn’t won it."

Platini scored 104 in 5 seasons, that means Trez has a lot of netting to do to complete the feat in the same timespace.
