Juventus midfielder Marchisio would prefer Super Cup in Italy

Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio admits he'd much prefer to play the Super Cup on home soil.

Juve face Napoli in Beijing in two weeks' time.

"It's a shame that we are not playing the game in Italy," the Azzurri midfielder wrote on his official Facebook page.

"However, I'm certain that even in Beijing there will be a lot of our fans who will charge us up with their affection."

Juventus will warm up for that match with a friendly against Benfica on Wednesday. "We have to keep working to make sure that we are in the best shape for the Napoli game."
