Manninger: «We want to win on Saturday»

«I don’t think I’ll be available on Saturday. I am training well but there is no hurry. The other goalkeepers are well and therefore it is not the case of taking risks». Alexander Manninger will not be amongst the players called-up for the match against Inter but is nonetheless a valid witness of the spirit with which the bianconeri are preparing for the big match: «We are behind them in the table – declared the goalkeeper on Juventus Channel – but the weight of the game does not change. We are similar in a level sense and managing to beat them would give us an extra charge for the end of the season. This season we hardly needed anything else but there were some bas matches which cost us a number of points. Our second place however is well deserved and we don’t want to lose it».

Besides the runner-up position there is still the Coppa Italia to play for and the second leg of the semi-final against Lazio is drawing near: «Yes, but before there is the match against Inter and it will be one to fight for. They are the strongest, they have been in the last few years but this does not mean that we can’t beat them. We want to give them as much trouble as possible until the end».

Manninger then took part on Filo Diretto, the Juventus Channel programme which puts the supporters in contact with the Juventus champions. Many were the questions sent through www.juventusmember.com The video with Alex’s answers is on-line on the Juventus community website.
