Farina Is The Best Referee

Juventus and Torino will face off at the Stadio Olimpico this weekend in a highly anticipated Turin derby.

With the refereeing controversy theories in Italy rampant after last week's 3-3 draw between Inter and Roma, Torino coach Walter Novellino has supported the decision that official Stefano Farina be put in charge of this upcoming intense match between the Turin-based sides.

"I am pleased we have been assigned Farina, he is the perfect choice. He is a good judge and has both character and charisma".

Torino are still in the midst of the relegation battle and a result against the Bianconeri could be vital for their survival hopes.

"We respect everyone and fear no one. In order to make up for [Juventus'] technical ability, you will see a group that is ordered, determined, and focused," explained Novellino.

"I don't need to charge anyone up because we are all aware we are facing a great team in a different kind of match and need to add points to our ranking."

Juventus won the first match between these two sides 1-0 in the first half of the season, courtesy of a goal from Amauri.
