Giorgio Chiellini: Juventus can stop AC Milan & Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Posted Saturday, October 01, 2011 by YAHOO Sport
Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini is ready to throw a blanket over Zlatan Ibrahimovic and keep him under cover when AC Milan arrive on Sunday night in Serie A.
"When you play against a player as good as Ibrahimovic then you have to be prepared, not just individually, but as a team," Chiellini told Juventus Channel. "It will be great to play against a champion like him, even better if we win."
Ibrahimovic scored a penalty and assisted Antonio Cassano's goal in the 2-0 midweek win, all the more reason for Chiellini to express concern.
Antonio Conte's men are not top of the table without reason, and Chiellini feels they can compete for the Serie A title.
"The intensity is always growing and we have plenty of will to show that we can fight for the title and hold our own on matters," he concluded.
Kick-off at the Juventus Stadium is at 15:45 p.m. ET.
