Buffon sees super Juve
Gianluigi Buffon is confident Juventus will challenge all the way for the Champions League and Scudetto.
A full two years after the Calciopoli scandal and their demotion to Serie B, the Bianconeri are back in the thick of the action.
“I am convinced we’ll battle for the Champions League and the Serie A title, as these are objectives Juventus have always gone for,” said the goalkeeper.
“It is going to be a long and very intense year, so we have to start preparing for it as best we can right from now, with the Champions League preliminary round.”
The fans have protested against what they see as a substandard transfer campaign, as Christian Poulsen, Olof Mellberg, Dario Knezevic and Amauri have not convinced everyone.
“The grit and willingness to fight for ambitious objectives have always been present, even if in the last few months we weren’t quite on a par with some of our opponents,” mused Buffon.
“Now we have reinforced the squad and because of that have absolutely no excuse to be anything less than 100 per cent convinced of our potential.
“That is a quality that has always stood by Juventus and we should always hold it dear.”
General manager Jean-Claude Blanc confirmed that Juve will only be signing one more player this season, a second choice goalkeeper to act as Buffon’s understudy.
The latest names circulating are Antonio Chimenti and Siena’s Alex Manninger.
