| | Palla awaits Old Lady encounter |
Wednesday 12 November, 2008 |
| Genoa striker Raffaele Palladino is preparing to play against co-owners Juventus and admits the game has a special significance.
The Azzurri marksman left Juve for the Grifone in the summer after failing to secure a regular first-team place with the Old Lady.
On Thursday evening, Palladino will have a chance to prove a point against the Bianconeri, who still own 50 per cent of his rights.
“This match is not like all the others - I can't deny that,” the Neapolitan star confessed.
“Juve's main strength is the old guard and youngsters find it hard to come through there.
“But that isn't something I need to think about because I am completely focused on Genoa at the moment.
“We are on great form and we shouldn't fear anybody. We will go out there with a winning mentality and must avoid mistakes, striking at the right time.
“Juventus are also playing great, just look at Alessandro Del Piero, who is impeccable with free-kicks. I have a very good relationship with him and we often talk on the phone.”
