There’s a land traditionally close to blackandwhites: it’s Sicily. When Juve arrives in the Mediterranean Island, it’s overwhelmed by the love of its many supporters. Every match becomes a real party. Like in 1997, February the 2nd, when Marcello Lippi’s team won the European Supercup (against the French team of Paris Saint Germain) in a stadium, the Palermo’s Favorita, full of enthusiast blackandwhites’ supporters. Or like two years ago, when in Catania, blackandwhites made thousands of supporters, came to Cibali Stadium, happy, beating in a friendly match the spanish team of Rayo Vallecano
A lot of enthusiasm for the blackandwhite colours. A wonderful feeling to be returned. That’s why Juventus has chosen Sicily for its final friendly matches of the summer. Marcello Lippi’s team will face two teams ready to play in Serie B, Catania and Messina
On Thursday, September the 5th, the first match will be played in Catania against the local team, to re-live a match seen many times at the beginning of the 80’s. On Saturday, September the 7th, the second match will be playd in Messina. Three days to watch from close your idols and to bring back the “Scudetto” to the South of Italy, where, at the moment, Reggina is the only team playing in Serie A. Both games, the first at 21.00 against Catania, and the second at 18.00 against Messina, will be broadcasted live on La7 TV, the channel which accompanied Juve in the triumph of the Italian Supercup played in Tripoli.
Also Juventus.com will follow closely the two events and it will do it with a special program. From the beginning of next week, infact, we’ll re-live together all the most exciting moments of the matches played in the past by Juventus in Sicily.
