Appiah ready for emotional return

Juventus midfielder Stephan Appiah says it will be emotional facing his ex-Brescia team-mates at the weekend and has vowed not to celebrate should he score.

The African star also added that wearing the colours of the Bianconeri carries a huge weight but he has faith in his own ability to succeed in Turin.

"It will be special and emotional going back to Brescia and seeing the supporters," he told Il Giornale di Brescia.

"Juve's jersey weighs a lot. If you don't believe in yourself then you fear you are going to play bad, things get complicated.

"It's not easy playing in Turin. Anyway I feel confident, I have grown. Not because I feel most important, but I feel a big responsibility on my shoulders."
