Chiellini's Christmas Wish? Nine Points For Juventus
A good Christmas run in both Serie A and the Champions League are on the defender's wish list...
Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini is looking forward to finishing the year with a flourish by racking up as many points as possible from now until the Christmas break.
Lecce, Bate Borisov and Milan are Juve's next three opponents, and Chiellini is hoping his side take all nine points.
The fixture which sticks out is a showdown with the Rossoneri. Both the Old Lady and Diavolo will fight against each other and Inter this term as they aim for the Scudetto.
Chiellini is well aware that failure to beat them could mean the end of his title ambitions.
“The game against Milan is impotant for us and I hope it doesn't end in a draw because this will favour Inter,” Chiellini told Juventus Channel.
“I don't think Milan are in crisis. It will be hard as usual. Our objective is the Scudetto and we have to get as close to Inter as we possibly can by racking up maximum points from now until the break.
“Now we have to think about the Lecce game at the weekend.”
Europe is also playing on the stopper's mind and he insists a first place finish in group H of the Champions League is vital.
“We cannot fail against Bate. It would be like committing suicide if we fail to finish in top spot,” concluded Chiellini.
