Del Neri: Ignore Inter, focus on City
Juventus coach Luigi Del Neri wants his side to focus fully on Thursday's Europa League clash with Manchester City - and ignore Inter Milan.[LNB] He is hoping they will play to their maximum and put thoughts of Sunday's Serie A match with Inter on the backburner.[LNB]After managing only a home draw against Lech Poznan in the opening group game, Del Neri knows there is little room for error.[LNB]He said: "I am only interested in the game against Manchester City not the following match. We will see then if we have improved.[LNB]"A new team always make mistakes. You not only need to fix the problems but also to focus on what you do well."[LNB]Veteran striker Alessandro Del Piero expects a rough ride from City, who started with a win against Salzburg, at Eastlands.[LNB]The 35-year-old has vast experience of playing against English sides over the years.[LNB]And he knows City will be fired up for the first leg in front of their own fans.[LNB]Speaking ahead of a training session, he said: "Manchester City are in excellent shape and it will be very hard for us. It always is when you are in England.[LNB]"They have invested heavily and one of the reasons they can be successful is that they have a great squad of players."[LNB]Juventus, like City, are in transition with a new coach in Del Neri, and are struggling to get going in Serie A.[LNB]Del Piero added: "We have a good base to build on and are at the beginning of a journey. Hopefully we our results will improve as time goes on."
