Amauri: Ronaldinho Doesn't Frighten Me!
Juventus striker Amauri is confident that he will finally achieve tangible success with his new club, and insists that the prospect of facing Ronaldinho does not frighten him.
Amauri insists that he is adapting well to life at Juve, and is working hard on forging links with his new striking colleagues, Alex Del Piero, David Trezeguet and Vincenzo Iaquinta. The ex-Palermo hit-man claims that there is a healthy rivalry among the forwards, but they are all determined to move the club forward.
He told Corriere dello Sport: “It’s new to me but I have already adapted. It’s not important who plays, it’s important to maintain Juve’s high levels."
The Brazilian will come face-to-face with his compatriot Ronaldinho next season; the ex-Barcelona superstar has signed with Milan. However, Amauri is not daunted by the prospect of squaring up to Ronaldinho and insists that the threat to Juventus’ ambitions will come from elsewhere.
He continued: “Ronaldinho doesn’t frighten me. Milan are strong, lots of people say that they are stronger than us but I am convinced that it’s not like that. There is also Inter and Roma to consider."
Amauri is optimistic that he will land trophies with his new club. Juve officials convinced the 26-year-old that success would finally come his way after a hitherto barren career in Italy. He also revealed that the Juve tifosi are expecting success this year.
He said: “I’ve never won anything in my life and I wanted to come to Juve because they convinced me that I would be playing in a team that would finally win something. I don’t want to tempt fate, but the feeling I get from the supporters is that this year we will win something. Scudetto or Champions League? I don’t know.”
