Vucinic ready for Chelsea test

Juventus forward Mirko Vucinic says the Serie A champions hold no fears over their Champions League clash with Chelsea on Wednesday.

Chelsea won the Champions League in May and currently lead the Premier League, but Vucinic feels the west London side are a weaker proposition than they were last term.

Vucinic told reporters: “This is not the same Chelsea as last season because in the last few weeks they have failed in several matches and that increases our chances for Wednesday.

“Will we play for a draw? Never. Our challenge is to win three points. We are the best team in Italy and it’s a matter of pride for the players.”

The Montenegro international stressed the Turin giants will arrive in London high on confidence.

“Stamford Bridge is not the best place for us to open the group but there exists no fear,” Vucinic said.

“We are the champions of Italy and that gives us a prestige we need to exploit. This is our return to the Champions League and very special.

“Chelsea are European champions and deserve our respect, but we go to London without fear and with a lot of confidence.”
