Mascara stands up to Juve Saturday 7 February, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Catania have picked up one point from their last five games, but hitman Giuseppe Mascara insists “we do not fear Juventus.”
The two sides meet in Sicily on Sunday afternoon and the Bianconeri have lost two on the trot, but picked themselves up with a midweek Coppa Italia quarter-final win over Napoli.
“We have played well in the last three matches, but the result was the only negative thing at the end of the 90 minutes,” insisted Mascara.
“This is giving us even more motivation to prove ourselves and show we do not fear Juventus.”
It is a definite setback for Catania, who had been leading the standings at one stage of the campaign.
“We cannot throw away all the good stuff we did in the first few months of the season. Our best weapons against Juve will be the pace of our forward line.”
They haven’t beaten Juventus on home turf since September 27 1964, but that 3-1 result was followed by five draws and seven defeats.
However, the Bianconeri’s last win here was in 1983-84 and last season it ended in a 1-1 draw.

Man it seems that whenever we play against any team, they must find a representative to say something
