Sissoko stays in Scudetto hunt

Sissoko stays in Scudetto hunt
Friday 5 December, 2008

Momo Sissoko has faith that Juventus can claw back Inter's six-point lead at the top of Serie A.

The Old Lady lost the Derby d'Italia to Inter but have been on positive form since a slow start to the season.

“We are doing well and are on good form at the moment,” Sissoko told ESPN Soccernet.

“We have got over the defeat against Inter and we are right up there. A six-point gap isn't much and we believe we can catch up.

“It is a long championship and we are right up there. My personal philosophy is to take each game as it comes and see what happens.

“I don't believe that teams like Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio are out of the running for the title. That's why we must continue winning, starting from this Sunday.”

Juventus travel to minnows Lecce and are favourites to pick up all three points against struggling opposition.
