Ranieri: Coppa Italia is not a meaningless competition

Claudio Ranieri insisted his Juventus side will give their all in Tuesday’s Coppa Italia semi-final clash against Lazio. “The Coppa Italia is not a boring competition and I have stressed that many times before,” Ranieri told Sky Sport Italia. “We have to fight and we won’t be holding back. I have everyone available and we will go to Rome to give 100 per cent”.

“It won’t be easy because nothing ever is in football. Lazio are flying high and this game will be more difficult than the Serie A encounter between us. Our strength is our team unit and every player can come in and do a job”.
