Here is Agnelli's interview to Repubblica.
"Victory is connection between past and today's Juventus. That's the important thing. I don't know how many times we came second, I don't count failures. If we were second last year it would be a bad result. In modern football being second or third brings you financial gains but for Juventus it's not enough. The aim is to win and ensure financial stability. If you're winning than you are important. When I came here in 2010 the entire management was compromised except projects for a new stadium. Today the club is powerful again as well as the squad. But without results the word power is the abstract one. When certain decisions are being made Juventus is asked about them. Scudetto without loss we can repeat but not more than that. This year our confidence is back, belief in what Juventus represent in more than a 100 years of history. Our destiny is a beautiful one: winning. We have been playing 4 months without a coach and it all seemed normal. Now Juventus is asking for a certain things to change, reform. In football and sports in general the change is needed. The priorities are stadiums, our product is football match. So perfect package is what we need. Without a theatre there is no play. SKY an Mediaset agree with us, the average viewer will change a channel if he sees an empty and ugly stadium. Stadiums can be built even without a new law. We made it. That model is connected with sponsorship agreements and loans. Smaller clubs can also take advantages of those agreements. The whole system is in need of a reform. The problems are not 20 Serie A clubs but 102 professional ones."
Damages from FIGC:
"The procedure is taking it's course. We should wait for the third degree justice procedures to finish and it takes more time."
Act 39th of sporting justice related to revoked Scudetti:
"The law prescribes that we can use this act only once. As I've already said we must wait for all procedures related to Calciopoli to finish."
About league's president:
"Current accordance about Abodi is positive one and it shouldn't be abandoned. Possible reform would include B sides to take part in professional competitions. We are for it because in that way youth players would gain experience and would have a chance to compete for the first team place."
On relationship with Moratti:
Our rivalry is an eternal one and we will never agree on things which happened in 2006. But it doesn't mean we can't cooperate in development of football."
On imminent future:
" Juve-Celtic, we were hoping for this kind of adversary and after all I want to see Celtic Park. We will try to stay in CL as long as we can, we are Juventus. We are entitled to this dream but first we have to defend the title and it doesn't happen so often."
On Del Piero:
If some movie director was picturing perfect captain's farewell in his stadium while lifting a trophy many would declare him insane. When Ale was brought off the pitch nobody was looking what is happening in the match. All the eyes were on Del Piero. It was the perfect end."
