Chiellini's Scudetto dream
Wednesday 2 April, 2008

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini hasn’t given up hope of the most unlikely of Scudetto triumphs.

The Old Lady beat Inter in the Derby d’Italia a fortnight ago and have closed the gap on the leading duo.

The newly promoted side trail second-placed Roma by seven points with a game in hand and are 11 points from the top.

“We have closed the gap and there could be surprises to come in this race,” Chiellini declared on Sky Sport Italia. “We are close to Roma and not even too far from Inter.

“Our duty from now until the end of the season is to try and win every game and see what happens.

“Our rivals are fighting for first place but I would like to stun them. But I can concede that it won’t be easy, in fact it is nearly impossible.

“But it costs nothing to dream and sometimes they come true.

“For me, things aren’t finished. We have a tough fixture list but it’s the same for them, so we will have to see. Here at Juve we are used to fighting to the bitter end.

“Who am I backing between Roma and Inter? I don’t support either – I am only a Juventus fan.”

The Bianconeri travel to struggling Palermo this weekend and then host Milan in Week 33.
