Five thousand Juventus fans showed up for the traditional inter-squad friendly at Villa Perosa and were in good spirits as the Juventus A team won 8-0 over their younger B team rivals. Christian Pasquato was the star of the show with six goals, while Amauri grabbed a brace for good measure. However, after the match Ranieri suggested that the fans will have a big hand in Juventus' results as well. "I thank all these people for the reception they gave us. Our fans are important and we will really need them this season," claimed the former Chelsea tactician. Ranieri said both the team and fans must do their part: "The team on the field always gives the maximum, but I am sure that all this passion can bring us at least three or four points higher in the championship!" Before leaving, Ranieri briefly spoke about Tuesday's match with Artmedia Bratislava and the day's hero Pasquato. "We'll go there to secure qualification, knowing that we must have the same determination we showed in Turin." "Pasquato? He would lose a year if he stayed on our bench, he must get experience to become an important player." Juventus' Alessio Secco also confirmed Pasquato will be leaving on loan this season. Juventus won the first match 4-0 against Artmedia Bratislava at the Stadio Olimpico and look certain to advance to the next round.
