Melo expects to upset Juve
Thursday 22 January, 2009

Fiorentina midfielder Felipe Melo believes the Tuscans can bring down Juventus, as long as the referee does his job.

The Gigliati travel to rivals Juve for a bitter encounter looking to erase memories of last weekend's 1-0 defeat at Milan.

Fiorentina drew 1-1 with the Old Lady at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on the opening day of the season.

“Juve are stronger than Milan and it will be a hard game for us,” Melo admitted in Tuttosport.

“But if we play like we did against the Rossoneri and the ref has a good game then we will win.

“Winning against Juventus would be great for us players and for the fans.

“They will have a few players missing, but they have still shown their true ability this year.”
