Albiol gives his old club an insight into beating Juventus

Now a central part of the Napoli team that were the last side to beat Juventus, Raul Albiol thinks that the club where he learned his trade will cause the Italian giants problems.

Speaking to Valencia's club website, their former player said that "Juventus will without doubt suffer at the Mestalla, I think that Valencia will have a lot of opportunities to win in their home stadium.

"They are a difficult opponent and have signed some great players this year and are one of the favourites to win the Champions League. However, Valencia will be able to create problems for them" he insisted.

When asked about the strength of the Turin-based team, the Spanish international explained that "they are a team that have an extremely solid and well-organised defence, which is their real strength. With the addition of Crisitano Ronaldo this season, they will be very dangerous on the counter-attack."

However, he retuerned to his former team, and why they have a chance of causing an upset. "Valencia have recruited well, especially in attacking areas." "In the second season under the manager, everything is more clear and the team know each other better. That continuity is good and they will for sure do well in the league this season."
