Messi, Suarez and Neymar are like sharks, warns Chiellini

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini says Barcelona
stars Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar are
like "sharks" and has urged his team-mates to do
everything within their power to prevent the trio
from making an impact in Wednesday's Champions
League encounter.
The Turin giants hold a 3-0 lead from the first leg
of the quarter-final tie, but Chiellini has warned it
is not over yet and stressed Juve cannot afford to
just sit deep and defend.
Messi, Suarez and Neymar were all on target when
Barca produced a historic comeback in the last 16,
recovering from a 4-0 defeat at Paris Saint-
Germain by winning the return fixture at Camp Nou
6-1.
"If we can keep their key players away from the
danger areas, press them high up the field and
remain compact and organized, it will make life
very difficult for them. If we go there, sit back and
try to soak up pressure, we will lose," Chiellini told
the Juve's official website.
"Barcelona have the best frontline in the world and
their three strikers are probably three of the top five
individuals. They are extraordinary players, each
with their own unique qualities. You prepare for
challenges like this by closing the spaces and
being brave in what you do.

"These guys are like sharks; if you show a sign of
nerves, they smell the blood and finish you off.
Instead you have to push them back as far as you
can, double up when they are in possession and
shut down the lines between defence and midfield.
"If you can escape their press, Barca can struggle
with balls over the top into the space behind.
Knowing what you need to do though is one thing,
producing it when you need to is another thing
altogether."
