Emo believes in Euro glory Wednesday 24 November, 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus ace Emerson is confident that his club can win the Champions’ League this season.
The Brazilian made the statement after his side maintained their 100 per cent record with a fifth consecutive 1-0 win.
"It is difficult to say who is the strongest team in Europe right now," he said following the victory over Ajax last night.
"Barcelona are probably the side that are impressing me the most but they are different to us.
"We defend very well, while Barcelona are more spectacular than us when going forward.
"I think our defensive strength is more of an advantage though and that is why we could end up winning this."
Although Juventus may not be an entertaining attacking outfit, striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic continues to impress.
"I’m satisfied with my performance against my old club," said the Swedish international. "I’m happy with my progress.
"My partnership with Marcelo Zalayeta? He is getting better all of the time and I’m happy to play alongside him."
