Chievo goalkeeper cautious despite lofty position
The Flying Donkeys have enjoyed an excellent start to the season and sit proudly in second place after three matches, having thrashed Empoli and Lazio before earning a draw at the Juventus.
However, Bizzarri isn’t letting such success get to his head, and is instead still aiming to pick up as many points as possible to maintain a comfortable distance from the drop zone.
“Aside from the result, we have emerged as a more confident team after the match against Juventus,” he told Tuttosport with regards to the 1-1 draw at the Juventus Stadium.
“Not everyone can play so well in the most difficult stadium in Italy.
The shot-stopper then looked ahead to Sunday’s clash with Inter.
“I do not simply want to beat Inter just to overtake them in the league standings.
“Instead I see a victory as a step further from the relegation zone.”
Bizzari also commented on Chievo’s reputation for stifling the top clubs.
“We are seen as a ‘pain in the arse team’ to the bigger sides, but to stand for anything else would be the first step towards the bottom.”
