队长赛前信心十足：
Totti: We will win in Turin

Roma captain Francesco Totti insists his men are going to the Delle Alpi looking for all three points.
“We are a strong side,” he told the ‘Corriere dello Sport’, “and we have every intention of beating Juventus on their home turf.”
Morale is high following two wins from their opening games and the debuts of new buys Cristian Chivu and John Carew.
“In my opinion Roma are the favourites to win the Scudetto. We have the men to take the title and I am very happy with the squad at our disposal.”
It is certainly a change from the summer, when Totti threatened to walk away from his hometown club if they failed to bring in big name reinforcements.
Having finished in eighth place last season, tension was high within the training camp, but the 5-0 win over Brescia showed what they can achieve.
“The new trident attack system is wonderful fun,” he revealed. “We really enjoy ourselves on the pitch and like entertaining the fans.”
But reigning Italian Champions Juve are certainly not Brescia and this will be a tough test of Roma’s own title credentials.
“If I could take any player away from Juventus this weekend it would be Alessandro Del Piero,” he commented of his Azzurri teammate.
The two stars combined brilliantly on the field in their few Italy outings together, but will be on opposite sides of the pitch for Sunday’s showdown.
Roma are without defenders Christian Panucci and Vincent Candela due to fitness problems, so Jonathan Zebina steps in.
