Juventus team manager Gianluca Pessotto is convinced the Old Lady can overcome Chelsea in the Champions League last 16.
The Turin giants ended a successful 2008 on a high and are sitting in second place in Serie A.
Although the Scudetto race remains a priority, Juve are also hoping to return to the summit of the continental game and need to see off Chelsea if they are to do so.
“I hope Juventus restart the season with the same determination they showed at the end of last year,” Pessotto told Sky Sport Italia.
“They showed such willingness to overcome the difficulties in their path and that, coupled with the talent in the squad, makes it possible to obtain good results.
“We knew that we need to make a great start to 2009 so that we can be properly prepared for the very important date with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge,” Pessotto continued.
“Chelsea absolutely can be beaten, not necessarily because we are much stronger than them but because each game is there to be played.”
