Secco: We can conquer Chelsea
Thursday 5 March, 2009

Juventus sporting director Alessio Secco has faith that the Old Lady will vanquish Chelsea in next week's Champions League clash.

The Bianconeri lost 1-0 at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of their last 16 encounter but they will have the advantage of a passionate home crowd for the return game.

Guus Hiddink's men will be tough to crack, but Secco believes the Bianconeri have what it takes to progress.

“If I were to make a summary of our season so far, it would be a positive one because we are on course on all fronts,” Secco said on the Juventus Channel.

“Now we need to deliver in the derby so we can continue to challenge for the Scudetto.

“As for the Chelsea clash, the result from the first leg gives us hope and we played well in London.

“I think injuries to certain players took their toll in that game because some lads didn't have time to reach 100 per cent fitness.

“But Claudio Ranieri knows how to handle these problems and he will know how to deal with the second leg,” he concluded.
