Catania issue Juve warning
Catania looked in good shape ahead of Saturday’s crunch match against Juventus as they trounced Eccellenza side Gattopardo in a friendly.
The Elefanti are comfortable in mid-table and will be looking for more of the same in 2008.
Boss Silvio Baldini has claimed that he is relishing the chance to take on the Old Lady and his confidence seems to be mirrored in the players.
The Rossazzurri went behind against the side from Palma di Montechiaro on a sodden pitch at the Massannunziata Sports Centre.
However, goals from Giuseppe Colucci, Giuseppe Mascara and Giacomo Tedesco made it 3-1 at the interval.
A different side took to the pitch for the second period and cruised to a 7-1 triumph courtesy of Marco Biagianti, Lorenzo Stovini, Francesco Millesi and Riccardo Nardini.
It was a confidence-boosting outing for a side that will be buoyed by Juventus’ 1-1 draw with Maltese minnows Valletta.
