Iaquinta’s Azzurri joy Tuesday 25 March, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus striker Vincenzo Iaquinta is relishing the chance to play for Italy against Spain tomorrow night.
The former Udinese man has struggled to find first-team football in Turin this term due to competition from Alessandro Del Piero and David Trezeguet.
However, Iaquinta has excelled when called upon and still seems to be in pole position for a place at Euro 2008.
“I’m very happy with this recognition,” he enthused. “It means that the Coach still thinks highly of me.
“I hope to continue doing well and to be a part of the squad two months from now at the European Championships. Hopefully we can add the European title to our World Cup.”
Some sources suggest that Iaquinta’s reluctance to play the role of substitute may lead to the 28-year-old quitting Turin, but he seems calm and settled with the Bianconeri.
“For the moment I am happy with what I am doing,” he stressed. “Next year there will be more matches to play so there will be more space for me.
“My future is still with Juve and
I have a contract until 2012 to respect.”
