Juventus’ Carlos Tevez looks forward to next Saturday's game against Milan, and considers the responsibility of his No 10 shirt.
The Old Lady comes up against a debilitated Rossoneri contingent, but the Argentine has warned against lowering their guard.
“It's true that this isn't going to be the best Milan side, but it's a Clasico, in Italy it's always a game,” said Tevez in an interview with JTV.
Juventus’ Carlos Tevez looks forward to next Saturday's game against Milan, and considers the responsibility of his No 10 shirt.
The Old Lady comes up against a debilitated Rossoneri contingent, but the Argentine has warned against lowering their guard.
“It's true that this isn't going to be the best Milan side, but it's a Clasico, in Italy it's always a game,” said Tevez in an interview with JTV.
“I think this game is different from the other, it's an Italian 'Clasico' and we can't let go of it.
“We know they're going through a particular moment but we've got to do our job. In the first round I scored, let's hope I can repeat myself on Saturday.
“This year's championship is tough. We know that every game is going to be hard. But we have fun in every game. We are very close-knit and every time you can see a real team coming on to the field.”
The forward discussed taking on Alex Del Piero’s famous shirt number in Turin.
“I never asked for the No 10 shirt, they gave it to me for my personality. I think the club wanted to give me this responsibility because they knew I could wear it and do well with it.
“But as I always say, the responsibility comes when you wear the Juventus shirt with its emblem. The No 10 shirt is important for the tifosi, for the people and for the club.
“For me, personally, when I wear the Juventus emblem I'm filled with a positive feeling, a drive to defend the emblem.”
A number of topics were discussed in Tevez’s interview, including the Ballon d’Or award.
“It would be hard to win the Ballon d'Or because there are great players like [Leo] Messi and Cristiano [Ronaldo], every Sunday they score two or three goals and it's hard to keep up.
“In Italian football scoring isn't easy, it's a different type of football. I see the prospect of a Ballon d'Or for me as very distant.
“The passion for football is always the same in South America. As for the Italians, everyone has their own way of living football, but I think in South American they have a stronger passion. We're always on our feet and jumping.”
