Conte: It's tough for any team to play against this Juventus side
The Bianconeri boss has expressed his satisfaction with his side's victory over Roma, and feels that any team will have a difficult game against the Old Lady when they're on song
Antonio Conte has voiced his delight with Juventus' 4-0 Serie A win over Roma on Sunday evening, and is of the opinion that the Bianconeri can compete with the best teams in the world on their current form. The Turin giants moved three points clear of second-placed AC Milan in the league table following this weekend's results, while also securing Champions League qualification, much to the coach's satisfaction.
"We played a great game, with the attitude possessed by great teams. The team played with a manner and authority that deserved the victory," Conte said at a press conference.
"It’s tough for anyone to play against a Juve side on this kind of form. It was an important victory and we’ve taken a little step towards a dream that we’re all chasing together.
"We’ll now start to think about Cesena, a game in which we’ll have everything to lose. But for now we’ll enjoy the fact we’ve managed to directly qualify for the Champions League, our first target of the season."
Juventus lock horns with Cesena on April 25 in their next Serie A game.

Brescia's Omar El Kaddouri interested in Lazio but dreaming of Barcelona
The former Anderlecht midfielder has been linked with several Serie A sides in recent months and he freely admits that he now feels ready for the top flight
Brescia's Omar El Kaddouri has expressed his interest in a move to Lazio, but admitted that he dreams of one day playing for Barcelona.
The 21-year-old Brussels native is considered one of the most promising young players currently plying his trade in Serie B and his performances this season have reportedly attracted the attention of the Biancocelesti, as well as Juventus, Roma, Napoli and Palermo. El Kaddouri is doing his utmost to just concentrate on his football but admits that he is flattered by talk of a move to Lazio.
"It's nice," he told Corriere dello Sport. "I do not know if the rumours are true or not, but for now I'm focused on the present at Brescia.
"But we're talking about beautiful and important stages to play on; of clubs at which you can continue to develop and Lazio are one of those clubs."
El Kaddouri revealed that he now feels ready to make the step up to Serie A, while at the same time confessing that he hopes to end up at Camp Nou sooner or later.
"My dreams? One is to play for Morocco at the World Cup; the other is to play for Barcelona, which would be fantastic," he enthused.
"I have no fear but I'm not presumptuous sort. Football is a sport, it's fun. Serie B is not easy, though. But it helps you grow. I have played nearly every game this year, so I believe that I'm ready for Serie A.
"My future will be decided at the end of the season with the club. Until then, I must think only of working and growing [as a player]."
El Kaddouri, who arrived at Brescia from Anderlecht in 2008, has been capped at Under-21 international by Belgium.

Lazio's Klose insists he's not putting country before club
It has been claimed that the German's priority is being fully fit for Euro 2012 but he insists he is desperate to aid his club's attempts to qualify for the Champions League
Lazio forward Miroslav Klose insists that he is doing his utmost to return to action before the end of the Serie A season.
It was reported earlier this week that the Germany international is reluctant to rush his recovery from a thigh problem as he does not want to jeopardise his hopes of being fully fit for Euro 2012.
However, Klose claims that he is determined to play some part in the Biancocelesti's push for a Champions League place.
“I’m doing everything to return," the striker is quoted as saying by Gazzetta dello Sport. "The healing process is progressing in a very, very satisfying way."
“But I have my training program, which I will stick to, and I won’t make the mistake of trying too much too soon; only when the doctors give the green light will I again return to the field.
“Before my injury I was in excellent shape and I’m benefiting from that now.”
Klose, who arrived at the Stadio Olimpico on a free transfer from Bayern Munich last summer, had netted 13 times in 26 Serie A appearances for Lazio before injury struck.

Giovinco will play for a big club next season, declares agent
The Italy international, who is co-owned by Juventus, is attracting the interest of several top Italian and European sides, according to his representative, Andrea D'Amico
Sebastian Giovinco's agent has claimed that the Parma attacker will be playing for a "big club" next season. The Italy international initially arrived at the Ennio Tardini on loan from Juventus in 2010 but the deal was made permanent last summer. However, the Bianconeri retain a 50 per cent stake in Giovinco and his representative, Andrea D'Amico, has admitted that even if he a mooted return to Turin does not materialise, his client will leave the Gialloblu this summer.
“His ownership has to be sorted out between Juventus and Parma,” the agent told Radio Lombardia. “It seems to me that Juve are not in a hurry to do so; otherwise they would have already met with Parma.
"The guy is tempting a lot of big Italian and European sides and Parma would be in a strong position if they go into talks with Juventus backed by an important offer from another club.
“But whatever happens, Giovinco will certainly be playing for a big team next season."
However, while D'Amico claimed that Giovinco will be on the move, he insisted that AC Milan forward Maxi Lopez, signed on loan from Catania in January, is going nowhere.
"He will stay at Milan," the agent added. "He has proven that he is a player who deserves to be with the Rossoneri."
Milan had hoped to pick up Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez during the last transfer window but were ultimately forced to settle for Lopez.

One of the late midfielder's former clubs have made the decision of withdrawing the number he wore during his first spell with the Biancorossi

The 25-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest after 34 minutes of Livorno's clash with Pescara and was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital. On Sunday, the club made the following statement: "To honour the tragic death of former player Piermario Morosini, Vicenza have decided to withdraw the No.25 shirt. "We feel that it is a gesture of respect for the memory of a beloved and unfortunate athlete."

Leonardo unsure about PSG future: 'I don't know if I'll stay here for 10 years or until June'
The Brazilian conceded he does not know whether he will remain with the Parisians on a long-term basis, but did reveal that he has not been approached to make a return to Inter
Leonardo has admitted that he is unsure about what the future holds for him at Paris Saint-Germain.
The former Inter and AC Milan coach was snapped up by the Ligue 1 giants last summer to become their new sporting director, where he helped spearhead the club's expensive recruitment drive, but reports in Italy have begun to circulate that he is keen to return to the preninsula.
He told French radio station RMC: "I have great relationships with my former clubs but I am not in contact with Inter to go back and work there.
"It's been 23 years since I left Brazil, and I have never left a country for personal reasons.
"I am very happy in Paris, but I don't know if I'll stay at PSG for 10 years or until June."
Before his move to PSG, Leonardo spent two seasons in charge of Milan and Inter with varying degrees of success, including a Coppa Italia victory with the Nerazzurri last term.
However, Inter president Massimo Moratti also remained tight-lipped on the subject of his former coach returning to San Siro for a second stint.

Bologna Vs Cagliari football liga match preview
Last weekend's goalless draw at bottom-side Cesena moved Bologna to 15th place, six points clear of the drop zone with seven games remaining. Di Vaio, who has been an inspiration for the Rossoblu so far, will miss the encounter on Thursday through suspension. The Italian forward has scored 10 goals in 31 league appearances.
Cagliari travel to the Renato Dall' Ara stadium also looking to take a big step towards Serie A safety. The Sardinians moved two places and one point clear of Bologna after last weekend's 2-2 draw against Inter Milan. The result followed their 2-0 triumph over Atalanta. Cagliari have lost just one of their last four league games. The visitors will have to do without striker Mauricio Pinilla, who must serve a one-match ban.

Fiorentina Vs Palermo football liga match preview
Fiorentina coach Delio Rossi hopes his team's triumph at AC Milan last weekend will be a turning point in their season and spark a successful bid to avoid the drop.The win - courtesy of Carvalho Amauri's late winner - was significant considering it halted a five-match winless run for the Viola and marked Fiorentina's second victory on the road this season.The result lifted the Viola to 15th place, five points clear of the drop zone, ahead of tomorrow's game against Palermo.
Palermo head into the encounter in Florence on the back of Saturday's 2-0 loss to Juventus.The result dropped the Sicilians to 11th place, four points clear of Fiorentina.The visitors will be bolstered by the return from suspension of defender Matias Aguirregaray, midfielders Massimo Donati and Edgar Barreto as well as striker Abel Hernandez.
Catania Vs Lecce football liga match preview
Catania finally lost a game after almost 2 months going unbeaten. The team could have finished with the good performances this season, and could start making gifts to other teams. Catania style of play resembles Roma to some extent, and we know what happened to Roma 3 days ago.
Lecce does not beed much more motivation, knowing they are 4 points to safety. The team does not have any absentees, the defense is the regular. Lecce will crowd up the midfield and defense in order not to allow too many goal chances to Catania. And of course the away team will use the fast Muriel and Di Micchele to make killer counters.
Stramaccioni: Balotelli is an asset to football but he is a Manchester City player
The striker has been linked with a return to San Siro after his current boss, Roberto Mancini, admitted that the English club will probably try to sell the player in the summer
Inter coach Andrea Stramaccioni believes Mario Balotelli is extremely talented but refused to be drawn on the club’s rumoured interest in re-signing the Manchester City forward.
Balotelli left the Nerazzurri for Eastlands in 2010 but his future in England is now in doubt after City manager Roberto Mancini admitted that the club will probably try to sell the volatile striker following his dismissal against Arsenal. That prompted immediate speculation of a return to San Siro, but Stramaccioni was doing his best to dodge the issue during his pre-game press conference ahead of Wednesday’s Serie A clash with Siena.

AC Milan will battle with Juventus right until the end, says Zanetti
The veteran believes that the Rossoneri will bounce back from Saturday's loss against the Viola, and feels that the Nerazzurri deserved better against Cagliari
Inter skipper Javier Zanetti is of the opinion that AC Milan have what it takes to get back to winning ways after their surprising 2-1 Serie A defeat at home against Fiorentina earlier this week. The Rossoneri lost first spot in the table to Juventus following the Bianconeri's 2-0 win over Palermo, and Zanetti expects the two Italian giants to fight for the Scudetto right until the end.
"I honestly didn't expect Milan to lose against Fiorentina, but I think it was hard for them to come to terms with getting knocked out of the Champions League," Zanetti was quoted as saying on the Inter website. "They are still a great team, though, and I think they will do battle with Juventus right down to the wire." Zanetti then looked back at his side's 2-2 draw against Cagliari, and feels that the Nerazzurri deserved better. "Looking at the results at other grounds and considering what we did ourselves, maybe we deserved a bit more. We created a lot but we accept the draw, even though it harms our chances. We're already looking ahead to the next game." Inter's next match is the Serie A game at home versus Siena on Wednesday.

Speculation is rife that the Gialloblu attacker will return to Turin in the summer but, according to his representative, the Blaugrana are also keen on the Italy international
The agent of Sebastian Giovinco has claimed that Barcelona are interested in signing the Parma forward.The Italy international has been heavily linked with a return to Juventus, who retain a 50 per cent share in the 25-year-old attacker, and Giovinco admitted on Tuesday that he would be open to rejoining the Bianconeri in the summer
However, the player's representative, Andrea D'Amico, has now claimed that the Turin giants are facing competition from the Blaugrana for his client's signature. "The interest of a club like Barcelona is always nice," the agent is quoted as saying bySportal.it." Giovinco is now a major player of great talent and great technique who is now realising his potential, so it's normal that there is interest." "As for his future? First we must find a solution regarding the ownership between Juventus and Parma. I think this is a necessary step." D'Amico added that he believes that the race for Giovinco's signature will intensify after Euro 2012. "He's doing very well and will go to [Poland and Ukraine]," he argued.

De Rossi: Possibility to finish third an extra motivation for Roma
The Giallorossi had a difficult start to the 2011-12 campaign, but have steadily improved throughout the season and have now set their sights on Champions League qualification
Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi has stated that the possibility to qualify for next season's Champions League serves as extra motivation for the Giallorossi to continue to fight for the remainder of the season. Luis Enrique's side initially struggled to meet the high expectations in the opening months of the 2011-12 campaign, but have climbed to sixth spot in the table after the winter break, trailing third-place Lazio by only four points with eight rounds still to go.
"The fact that Lazio and Udinese lost at the weekend is a bit of a boost," De Rossi said toTeleRadioStereo. "We have an extra motivation to keep on going now. We are close [to third spot] and can't give up. "We have to keep believing in ourselves and see how far we can go." Roma resume Serie A action on April 7 when they take on Lecce.
