Juventus defender Benedikt Höwedes is getting ready to make his debut for the Bianconeri since joining the club on loan this past summer from Schalke 04.

The German international defender spoke to the club's official homepage stressing how eager he is to make his debut: ""I'm ready, and I feel happier than ever. It hasn't been easy to start my adventure at a big club like Juventus with an injury, but everyone has been supportive of me these last few months, and in the meantime I've been learning some Italian! But now I'm focused with getting back onto the pitch and helping my teammates, starting with the next match."

Höwedes then went on to focus on the team's upcoming matches stressing that "The next game at the Marassi, against Sampdoria will not be easy, but we are Juventus, and we want to win. We have had some great results so far, and although I know that some of the players will be disappointed with the result of the Italian national team, they are all very experienced and professional so I'm sure that they will handle it. After Sampdoria we face Barcelona, and we know that it will be a very difficult match but we mustn't worry. We have played in two finals in three years, so we know that we can win."

In conclusion Höwedes spoke about Juventus coach Allegri sayin that "Allegri is very intelligent, he has won so much. For me it's a great opportunity for us to work together, he is a very happy person."
