Ficcadenti ready to test Juve
Reggina boss Massimo Ficcadenti is looking to exploit Juventus’ defensive woes to take an unlikely point in tonight’s Turin clash.
The Calabrian minnows travel north yet to win this season after two draws and two defeats and are expecting a bitter relegation struggle this term.
However, inexperienced Coach Ficcadenti is still optimistic at the Amaranto’s chances and welcomes the challenge of facing an unbeaten Juventus oozing confidence.
“Juventus are very tough opponents and they are on form, but we will play our game as always,” the ex-Verona man insisted.
“We need to try and take advantage of their recent problems in midfield and their depleted defence, even if the replacements are good players.”
Reggina were comfortably beaten by Udinese last weekend, but can take haert from their gutsy performance against Roma in Week 3.
“We didn’t play as well in Udine as we had for the previous three games, but we can put that right straight away here,” Ficcadenti coninued. “All the players are fit and the squad is developing well.”
The minnows’ tactician must choose between Brazilian hitman Joelson or Fabio Ceravolo to play alongside the trusty Nicola Amoruso, who plays against his former employers.
“I’ll decide the formation at the last minute, but whatever side I put out there it will be a more determined Reggina with character,” he concluded.
