I wouldn't say no to Bojinov honestly, especially if Zalayeta does go to Livorno. Maybe Ranieri would be the right coach for him.
Trezeguet: “We want to win the League”
Juventus is showing its aces. After Pavel Nedved, it's David Trezeguet's turn to show up in Pinzolo's press room. And the Frenchman's words - reiterating convictions already aired during the public presentation the night before - are those that every Juventus fan hoped to hear: “We have all we need to aim for victory in the League and reclaim what was taken away from us”.
'Trezegol' has stayed at Juventus for this purpose too. His first thought is for the 30 days that have passed between the end of the championship and the beginning of the camp.
Desire to stay: “My idea has always been to stay here at Juventus. That's why I'm happy to have agreed the terms of my contract renewal with the club. Before going on holiday I'd made myself clear. After the year in Serie B, the trickiest year in the club's history, I'd said I wanted to stay and play in a team able to compete at the very top and in this sense my wishes have been met. I have given a great deal for these colours and I want to continue doing so”.
Team mates and supporters: “I've also been pleased with the faith that everyone has shown in me: not only the club's management, but my team mates and the supporters too. It's true, I had some offers, but there aren't many clubs around as big as this one. My intention was to stay and I never planned to get to the end of the contract and then leave”.
Ranieri's contribution: “The Manager has been vital in my decision to stay: he called me and told me that he believed in me and this was a sign of his belief in me”.
Remarkable statistics: “I love statistics and I think 140 goals are not to be scoffed at. It isn't easy, particularly for a foreigner, you always have to show something extra”.
Records to improve: “I want to improve my records even more. I need 5 matches to reach 100 games in Serie A, 10 to reach 150 overall and in the four years of my new contract I can aim for 200”.
Working for the collective: “I'm starting this season with great motivations, to continue giving my best and I can still win a lot with this team. We have a large, high-quality squad and we really want to reclaim what was taken away from us”.
Enthusiasm: “It'll be our secret weapon. After what happened last year, we're even more willing to get back to the top. They took two League titles away from us after we'd clearly shown we were the best on the pitch”.
A competitive team: “We're training well here. Some of us have known each other longer, others have just arrived. What is certain is that we're a quality team and this is important in terms of our future”.
Winning the league? Why not: “We're Juventus, we have a lot of great players and a strong club organization. We can do very well, even win the title. We can definitely fight for it ‘til the end”.
The new arrivals: “They're very eager and they've realized they're at a club where ending in second place has no value. Everybody wants to join in and communicate with their team mates. They were immediately surprised to see so many people with so much enthusiasm”.
Andrade: “He has proven his worth. I think he'll do well, I can see he's very motivated. He's definitely an asset for us”.
Almiron: “He has Argentinean blood, like me; he's a down-to-earth kid. He has the right attributes to do well”.
Iaquinta: “He's already proven how good he is at Udinese, now he has the chance to play for a big club. We haven't tried out tactically yet, but he has the right qualities to play alongside me”.
Tactics: “I haven't spoken with the Manager about tactics yet. From what I've seen, he favours a fast, passing game, with the ball always kept on the ground. We can't as yet say we have anything resembling a real playing style. Everybody in the staff is excited and we all want to do well. We'll give everything we've got to win. Our weapons will be determination, heart and our desire to win”.
The rivals: “Inter Milan and AC Milan have teams that have been playing together longer. We've changed many players and that’s why we have to work hard. We'll be ready when it counts. We want to play in front of sold-out crowds again”.
