Juventus coach Conte delighted with Borriello capture

Juventus coach Antonio Conte is happy with their loan signing of AS Roma striker Marco Borriello.

Conte believes Borriello has the potential to offer the Bianconeri something different and compared his arrival to that of Andrea Pirlo in the summer.

"What do we see in Borriello that Milan have not?" commented Conte. "Maybe the same things we have seen in Pirlo.

"Behind every choice there is always a lot of reasoning and evaluation. The choice of Borriello is shared between the club and me and I do not understand those who emphasise the problems of an overabundance.

"Juve are a great team and must reason as much - no one should be afraid of competition."
