图拉姆表示尤文图斯会全力夺取冠军,对于托蒂之前发表的言论,图拉姆说,“我们不需要争论。托蒂和卡萨诺都是很有实力的球员,他们会在比赛中给我们带来麻烦,不过我认为大家应该把注意力集中在比赛本身,而不是说些刺激球迷的话。” 德罗西则表示“和尤文的比赛的意义不同寻常,罗马有能力取得四连胜。虽然联赛暂停了两周,不过我们依旧要在比赛中发挥出最佳水平。和上赛季相比,我们能够获得更好的结果。”此外,德罗西还提到了托蒂,“成为父亲使得托蒂在比赛中更加冷静了,目前他正处于一个极佳的状态。” 【channel4】Thuram ignores Roma jibes
Lilian Thuram has dismissed the ill-feeling dominating the build-up to Juventus’ visit to Roma on Saturday. With the temperature already rising fully four days ahead of the visit of Fabio Capello’s men to the Eternal City, Thuram claims to be unaffected by the back-biting emanating from the Roma camp. "We are a big side," said Thuram. "We manage to keep our concentration on the pitch, as big sides should do." Thuram’s subtle dig at Roma, whose occasional indiscipline tends to manifest itself during high-pressure matches - such as the away game at Inter last month which saw Francesco Totti sent off for ungentlemanly conduct - may be designed to infuriate the Giallorossi still further. "We don’t need controversy," added the France defender. "Roma can do what they want but we are concentrating on the Scudetto." Totti openly criticised Capello and former Roma teammate Emerson in an interview recently, making no secret of his disdain for either, and his comments are sure to ramp up an already-excitable home crowd when the two return to the Stadio Olimpico this weekend. "The match will be difficult because they have players like Totti and Antonio Cassano," said the Juve full-back. "Let’s just hope they respect the rules of the game and that they don’t adopt a bad attitude which can affect the crowd." Roma are in a rich vein of form at present and could do without losing their focus themselves. Luciano Spalletti’s men have won three games on the spin and Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi knows they could really turn their season around by beating the Italian champions. "It is never a normal match against Juventus," said De Rossi on Tuesday. "But we could do with a fourth win. "We will have to play well and not be affected by the two-week break. We want to perform well especially as it went pretty poorly last year." Last year Juve won both meetings between the two sides, but De Rossi is confident that this time it will be a different story. Indeed he feels that, despite Totti’s bad Press, his captain will rise to the occasion after scoring five goals in 10 appearances already this season. "Now that he has become a father he will be a lot calmer," he added. "He’s already having a fantastic season." |
