With Juventus Champions League clash against west London side Chelsea just a day away, Bianconeri striker Amauri has spoken of it as the biggest game of his life.
The forward told Il Corriere dello Sport, In the Champions League, the team that wins is the one with most determination and will to do so, and we have those things.
The Brazilian, who may soon become Italian, spoke of his emotion and joy when playing in Europes premier competition, Its like another league, he said, You can be doing really badly at home, and yet do superbly in Europe, they are two completely different and separate things.
For me, its incredible to be here, at this stage in my career. A year ago, I used to watch [Frank] Lampard and [Didier] Drogba on TV, now I will face them.
There have been comparisons between the man from the Ivory Coast and Juves forward, with some even going as far as calling Amauri, The white Drogba, but the Old Ladys striker said he was only flattered by such statements.
For me, it is a great honour to be compared with someone as impressive as Drogba, but this is certainly the biggest game I have played in since arriving at Juve, and I just want the whole team to do well.
