Giampaolo Pazzini is fired up for Sunday’s Juventus-Inter showdown and will “continue to believe in third place until it becomes mathematically impossible.”
The Nerazzurri are struggling this season in seventh place and risk failing to qualify for Europe, which is what prompted the Juve revolution last summer.
“Motivation comes by itself in a game like this. Juventus have more to lose than us, while we want to do well, above all for President Massimo Moratti,” the striker told Studio Sport.
“The President has always stuck right by us and that is wonderful for the team, to have someone like him putting his faith in us and pushing us forward. It’s important.”
Inter are currently in seventh place, but Pazzini has not lost hope of Champions League qualification.
“We will continue to believe in third place until it becomes mathematically impossible. It’s pointless making calculations now or looking round to what the other sides are doing. First of all, we have to start winning.”
