Camo can't wait for Madrid Saturday 12 February, 2005
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mauro German Camoranesi claims Juve will find it easier to score against Real Madrid and Udinese than Sampdoria.
“Our only problem over the last few games has been our inability to score more than our opponents,” said the Italian international after two consecutive defeats to Palermo and Samp.
“While we were winning 1-0 everything was fine, but now we let in goals and can’t seem to break down teams who put 10 men in defence. Sampdoria won without really playing football and I hate facing those types of sides. I’d rather play Real Madrid 20 times in a row, as at least they give you a chance.”
Camoranesi will have the opportunity to test out that theory later this month, when the Bianconeri travel to the Bernabeu for their Champions’ League clash.
Meanwhile, Juventus must end their Serie A slump and welcome third-placed Udinese to the Stadio Delle Alpi on Sunday afternoon.
“They are a dangerous opponent, among the best sides in Italy right now. Udinese combine entertaining play with good results and fully deserve to be up there just behind Juventus and Milan.”
The Friuli outfit will consider itself a good bet for victory after Juve’s recent form and their own run of two consecutive victories.
“We have too look forward now, as the points are gone and we can’t do anything about that. We are still ahead of Milan, albeit by just two points, and winning every game is the only way to ensure it stays that way.”
Pavel Nedved had hoped to recover in time for this tie, but it seems as if the former European Player of the Year will again be sidelined by that knee injury. Alessandro Del Piero is pushing David Trezeguet for a starting spot, but Camoranesi returns from suspension.
“I am happy that the Press thinks Nedved and I were missed,” said the former Verona winger. “Those who replaced me did well enough, but I am satisfied with my performance this season. It is important to have a selection of options for each role.”

Camo seems to be excited about crushing Real already.

“I saw on television Real’s match at Pamplona. They were quite lucky, even though they did play well. The sum of these things has made them psychologically stronger lately.”
