Momo's advice for Amauri
Juventus midfielder Momo Sissoko has given an extensive interview and has advice for teammate Amauri on his international dilemma.
The Bianconeri have a daunting trip to Catania this weekend and know that they can't afford a defeat, which would allow Inter to extend their seven-point advantage.
“Let's just hope we win the match against Catania,” Sissoko stressed.
“It will be a very difficult game, but I don't think we are in crisis. This is just a time when the team are struggling - that happens in football.
“We have to get back into the rhythm we had before Christmas. For now we mustn't think about the Scudetto. We have to take each game as it comes and see what happens.”
Sissoko missed a penalty during Juventus' Coppa Italia quarter-final shoot-out win over Napoli on Wednesday evening.
“I was convinced that I would score, but I missed,” the former Liverpool man winced.
“However, we still won the match in the end and I'm happy. I only want to play with determination so that everyone is satisfied with my contribution. After my experiences at Liverpool and Valencia, I want to be important at Juve.”
The midfield talent was eligible to play for France or Mali on the international stage, just as teammate Amauri could represent Italy or Brazil.
“I chose Mali because my heart is there,” Sissoko recalled. “I made the decision for my family and for myself.
“For Amauri it's a difficult choice because Brazil and Italy are both great teams.
“He has to choose for his own good and he must listen to his family too.”
