Chiellini: I don't have any problem with Suarez

Posted Wednesday, May 20, 2015 by Marca.com

Giorgio Chiellini has revealed his strategy for dealing with Barca's attacking trio and insisted that the battle to contain Luis Suarez will be nothing personal in reference to their run-in at the World Cup.

Juventus's international centre-back, who will wear the captain's armband in the likely event of Gianluigi Buffon being left on the bench for the Italian Cup final against Lazio, took a leaf out of Diego Simeone's book by refusing to look ahead to the Champions League final against Barcelona.

"Our strength lies in taking it game by game. We are not thinking beyond tomorrow, not even about 6th June. We want to beat Lazio and then we'll see. There's a long way to go before we can talk about the treble", he said.

Chiellini would only be drawn to comment on Barca's attacking trio: "It's hard to choose between Barca's three strikers. As I said last week, I don't have any problem with Luis Suarez. I'll be marking Suarez just as I did Benzema, I'll do the same with Messi as I did with Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar will get the same treatment as Bale".

The 'Azzurri' international stressed the importance of Juventus lifting the Coppa Italia: "This final is special because we haven't won it for 20 years. We have only played in one final since I've been with Juve and we lost. We really want to win this".
