One year ago, in these days, Marcelo Salas became a Juventus’ player. A pearl in the most expensive balckandwhites market ever. The first matches and then the injury, at the of October, that closed early his first season in Turin. That’s why, twelve months later, El Matador is approaching to the new season with a renewed enthusiasm to give his help for the new Juventus’ victories.
This summer has showed the growing physical condition of Salas, well determined to be ready at the right moment: “I feel better and better in every match – the Chilean confirms – The knee isn’t bothering me anymore, I’ve only got to keep on growing in the physical condition. Anyway, I’m tranquil”.
The Matador wants to be a protagonist right from the beginning. On Sunday Juventus will play the Supercoppa Italiana, in Tripoli against Parma, and the Chilean striker or Zalayeta will replace the injured Trezeguet. Maybe he can give to the team his fame of “winner”, that allowed him to win this competition in other circumstances: “I won it twice when I played with Lazio. The first time here in Turin against Juventus, the second time against Inter in Rome. We care a lot about this competition. We want to start the season with a victory. Tripoli? We’re curious to live this experience that will surely be peculiar, also because we’ll fly there with the Parma team, in the same airplane. Surely it won’t be an easy match, we know the Emilian team very well. A guy to look after carefully? Di Vaio”.
To start in Tripoli a new winnig season: this is the goal of Marcello Lippi’s team. To win the Supercoppa and, later, to give everything in the other competitions, the Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the Champions’ League. “We spoke a lot among us in these days and it’s well known that we want to go on winning. We’ll obviously try to win everything, even if we know it’s going to be difficult. Anyway, we have got a winning mentality. The Champions’ League is the most important competition? I don’t know, we surely want to do well in it. Last year we went out in a particular moment and this year we don’t want to make any mistake. I succeded in playing only two matches and so, for me, it’s a nearly new adventure”.
