Palladino seeks Juve launch pad
Raffaele Palladino believes a good performance for the Italy Under-21s could see him break into the Juventus first-team. The striker is battling for a place in Didier Deschamps' Juve side and is currently behind Alessandro Del Piero, David Trezeguet and Valeri Bojinov in the pecking order.
The Azzurrini face Spain in a two-legged play-off for the European Championship next summer, with the 22-year-old Palladino their chief goal threat.
"I can only convince Deschamps by playing two great matches against Spain," said Martins.
"It will be a really hard challenge, but I think we can see them off and can win the European Championship."
Palladino was heavily linked with a move to Serie A side Udinese in the summer, but was eventually convinced to stay put by Deschamps.
He said he had no regrets but warned he would look to find alternative employment if he did not receive first-team football.
"I want to make it clear: I am proud to be at Juve and I dream of playing more matches. For the moment it is not easy, but in August Deschamps persuaded me not to go," he said.
"I feel a good Under-21 performance could be the launch pad to finding a place in the Juventus first team.
"Otherwise in January we will evaluate the possibility of being loaned elsewhere."

Even if I do understand what he meant, I think is very... wich word should I use... "unwise" for him to say this, why? two reasons:
1- Media will make him look bad saying that he wants to leave Juventus and that he is threating to leave. They will twist his words arround to make him look bad.
2- At the moment he hasnt show anything that proves that he should be in the starting line up, at the moment Palladno is just a "promising youngster" who is he to say something like "If I dont get to play I will see my options", you keep your mouth shut, you earn your rigth to play and if you are not happy with the time you play you ask the management the posibility to go on loan, but you do it inside the club, you dont make it public caue you will look bad to the fans.
Anyway, I hope he can earn more time play in Juve.
