Marchisio eager to see Juventus pal Tevez in derby action

Claudio Marchisio believes Juventus striker Carlos Tevez will be up for today's derby against Torino.

He can't wait to see how new teammate Tevez deals with the situation.

"Carlos has that spirit that perhaps we all need to rediscover. Seeing how eager he is to get goals reminds me of that sporting aggression we had in the first year under Antonio Conte.

"There's no point hiding it, after two years of success you run the risk of thinking it might be easier this time round. Instead, we can see there's absolutely nothing easy about it. In fact, the teams we face know us better and are able to tactically close us down.

"The Scudetto rivals are also stronger than in the past and this has to act as an alarm bell. We need to wake up."
