Juventus 3-0 Roma FT

Garcia: 'Roma can conquer Juventus'

Rudi Garcia assures Roma “will go to the Juventus Stadium intent on winning, because that’s what we always do.”

The top two teams go head-to-head in Turin on Sunday at 19.45 GMT in a Scudetto showdown. Click here for a match preview.

“Will this prove who is the strongest team between Juve and Roma? No, it won’t give a response to that question. Both sides have strengths and weaknesses,” noted the Frenchman in his Press conference.

“Winning games is always important, but there is still half a season to be played after the final whistle in Turin.

“We will go to the Juventus Stadium intent on winning, because that’s what we always do regardless of the opposition or the venue.

“It will be a great game between two great teams with a great referee. May the best side win.”

Garcia is still unbeaten on the Roma bench, but Juventus have won their last nine Serie A games on the bounce.

“Everyone seems to think we’re already beaten, so we have everything to gain and nothing to lose. I have only been on this bench for six months and in 2014 I want to continue with the entertaining football that has allowed us to win so far.

“We must remain concentrated for the entire 90 minutes. If we score or concede, then that mustn’t change anything. We must play the whole match with conviction and counter their strengths.

“I prefer the pressure of the big game. It means we have been doing well since the start of the season and are in a position to fight for results that count. I’d jump at the chance to always play at this level.

“So far we have done well against the big clubs. Tomorrow will be an interesting tie and we’ll see how we react to the situation. What really counts is leaving the field with our heads held high after doing everything possible to win.”

Garcia was complimentary towards Antonio Conte and the Bianconeri.

“They were programmed to win the Scudetto and perhaps also the Champions League, as they have basically two squads of a very high level to choose from. Playing on home turf is also an advantage for them.

“I only met Antonio once and we spoke for five minutes. I have a great deal of respect for his results, as two Scudetti and currently top of the table says it all. He is a very good Coach.

“Andrea Pirlo is a world class player, we all know that, but this is XI against XI and we’ll see what happens. I can guarantee that we’ll play our game.

“Francesco Totti said he believes in this team and I like that. He is like a beacon for the others and if he believes then all the others can believe too. We are hungry like the wolf and very determined, as every time we score it feels like netting in a World Cup Final.

“However, if we win in Turin then I’ll focus only on lowering the enthusiasm level around the team. If we win, then we’ll be only two points off the top and you’ll talk about the Scudetto, but there’s a long way to go yet. All that matters now is to have the best performance in Turin."

come on man up and admit a defeat bro, Conte made a good tactic dropped deep disabling your best weapon - great counter fast attacks .... If so we should have had penalty if I remember good..

the fault goes to DDR and the defender they were reds

Easy to say.. Everything good so *bleep* well for you...

Brushed aside like a serie c2 club

Which is weird, because usually Juve needs ref help to get past Serie C side

Game was over even before the red card incident i'm afraid.We had total control of the game by then.Easy to sit and blame refs,thats what cowards do.

We've never been in serie C

Stay mad homie.

On topic- Totti and De Rossi were pure shite today. Expect more from them. Especially after Roma starting so strongly but they couldn't handle us overall. So glad we ended their unbeaten streak plus that's 9 wins on the bounce.

Juve sat back with 11 men like somesort of a Chievo..

flameas you better dress warmly its -8   

Flameas please stop. Two red cards were well deserved. You can't slice someone in half like De Rossi did an expect to not get a red card. Dodo also clearly had his hand on the ball and blocked a clear goal. Besides we were up 2-0 by that point so the game was really over. Roma was tactically beat and given a lesson today. Possession means nothing if you cant use it.

8 point lead in Serie A.Lets hope we put more effort into the EL now.

I hope we win the goddamn thing !
