Giovinco: Am I Scared? No Way!

Juventus starlet Sebastian Giovinco has revealed that he is not at all scared by the competition he faces at the club this season, despite the presence of the likes of Alex Del Piero, David Trezeguet, Amauri and Vincenzo Iaquinta.

The 21-year-old Giovinco is one of the most exciting talents to have come out of Italy in recent times, and many experts believe he is a superstar in the making.

The fantasista, who grew up in the Juve youth team, spent last season on loan at Empoli, but he has now returned to Turin for the new campaign.

Some people have expressed fear that, with the likes of Del Piero, Trezeguet, Amauri and Iaquinta about, Giovinco may find it hard to break into the team, but the ‘Atomic Ant’ is not all flustered.

“It will be a pleasure to play alongside so many champions,” he declared.

“I am sure I’ll be able to earn my space throughout the campaign. I’m not scared of competition.”

Giovinco is currently preparing for next month’s Olympic games with the Italy Under-21 team. The youngster is being tipped to be one of the stars in Beijing, and he will be hoping to have the same impact as he did when he helped lead the Azzurrini to the Toulon Tournament trophy in May, being named Player of the Tournament in the process.
