Momo uses English experience
Wednesday 19 November, 2008

Momo Sissoko has compared Saturday's Inter-Juventus epic to playing for Liverpool against Manchester United.

While a number of Juve's stars are away on international duty, Sissoko has been training at Vinovo ahead of the weekend's big match.

The ex-Liverpool man is yet to score for his new employers, but he is settling in and is relishing the prospect of playing in Italian football's most hotly anticipated fixture.

“It's always nice to have the support of the fans,” Sissoko told Juventus' website.

“Some of them have even asked me to make sure we beat Inter and told me to score.

“I am more excited about this game than last year because we are right up there challenging this season and it will be a special derby.

“I played for Liverpool against Manchester United and that game had a different level of importance compared to the battle against Everton.

“It's the same thing in Italy and I am more excited about playing Inter than Torino.

“We are going into the game with a positive attitude and everyone is fired up. I think we want this more and that will make a difference.”
