Sissoko: I’m better than Mascherano
Friday 8 February, 2008
Juventus new boy Mohamed Sissoko has struck back at claims he was a consolation prize in the transfer window.
The Cadetti champions were targeting Sissoko along with Liverpool teammate Javier Mascherano, but reports suggest that their finances made Sissoko the only choice.
Sporting director Alessio Secco met with criticism for opting for the Mali international, who was seen as a cheap alternative, but Sissoko is adamant that he is a better player than his former colleague.
“Trust me, I am better than Mascherano,” he told Tuttosport. “I will win titles.”
The 23-year-old made his Juve debut in last weekend’s disappointing 1-1 draw with Cagliari when he replaced Tiago Mendes after 67 minutes.
Sissoko could start his first game for the Old Lady this weekend, as they take on Udinese in a crucial Champions League qualification battle.
Cristiano Zanetti will return from suspension and could play alongside the former Valencia man.
Mauro Camoranesi is fit and ready to start, but Azzurri goalkeeper Gigi Buffon looks almost certain to miss out with a persistent back problem.
