Ranieri: We have enough quality Thursday 10 July, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri is sure the Bianconeri are strong enough to excel and calls for patience from striker David Trezeguet.

The Old Lady’s French striking ace Trezeguet admitted yesterday that he was hoping for more new recruits to improve the squad.

However, Ranieri’s main priority was Palermo hitman Amauri and he has belief in the men at his disposal.

“This Juventus side is good enough,” the former Parma tactician told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Players that don’t have quality don’t have a place in this squad. We are setting our sights high.

“Trezeguet knows that you can’t create a side with 13 absolute champions overnight,” he continued.

“That will take several years, but we will return to the top. Last year we took the first step when we got to the Champions League preliminaries and now we must take the second step by getting through.”

Midfield misfit Tiago Mendes is being linked with German side Wolfsburg and is widely expected to leave after a miserable maiden season in Turin.

“Tiago is a big player and that’s why we signed him,” Ranieri maintained.

“I want to have an embarrassment of riches. If Tiago asks to stay, I will greet him with open arms.

“I am waiting for his decision and I have the greatest of respect for him.“

«My Juve? A solid chameleon»

From today, the football vocabulary is ready to include a new word. «My Juve? Like a solid chameleon». This is how Claudio Ranieri replied when asked how he expects his team to be in this 2008/09 season. Juventus' Manager is fired up after the first few days of work, and curious to see his “creature” in a proper match, such as tomorrow afternoon's first friendly against Mezzocorona (kick off at 5 pm).

The match will allow him to verify the progress made in just six days of training. And it’ll be the first chance for the fans to cheer their team in a real game, while they wait to see the rest of the players, i.e. the internationals and the last few signings planned by the Club, join up with the squad. The players here for the moment are working well and looking promising. «We are not lacking in quality – Ranieri commented -. All the lads are quality players; they wouldn't be at Juventus otherwise. They're all determined and humble and they all want to bring the team up to the same level as the great Italian and European teams».

A “solid chameleon”, but also a “tree that grows day after day”; Juventus' Manager likes to use quirky comparisons to describe the team. «We took a first step last year, now we need to go the rest of the way, starting from the Champions League preliminary rounds. The tree we planted has taken fine, thanks to its solid roots: the fine players and the Club. We have new young branches this year and that's how we'll face another long and difficult winter».

The side being built in the Val Rendena will have an added weapon: its flexibility. «Chameleon-like or solid? I want Juve to be like a solid chameleon: able to change its skin but tough too. When we signed Amauri, we considered his ability to adapt his style of play to all the other forwards in the team. And we're using the same criteria to choose the midfielder we're after».

Just another few days and the name of the new signing could be announced. A name that will help further strengthen a squad that has done very well and that wants to improve still, which pleases Claudio Ranieri no end. «I like having abundance problems. I want to have a lot of great players at my disposal, who aspire to win and who know that there'll be space and chances for everyone here. We expect to be playing a lot of games, all important as they’re all worth three points. Last year we did very well with the big teams and lost a few points with the small teams, we have to improve under this point of view now».

this is actually sophisticated coaching jargon believe it or not, started out here in the US lookig at one's roster and comparing it to a natural phenomenon or entity and how it deal with adversity.

"coaching" is one of the area in which we lack quality BTW.

 

[Ahmed]

Ranieri must be on LSD...."a solid chameleon???"

I dont buy it....RUINeri is just an idiot

 

[CalcioJuventus]

"coaching" is one of the area in which we lack quality BTW.

He has done well enough so far. It is not like we can afford Mourinho. I think this season will be his make or break. I think everyone is way to critical of him considering what was at his disposal last season.

The club let him down by signing plays such as Tiago and Almiron who failed miserably. Considering Nocerino, Molinero, Grygera and Leggro were thrown into the starting line up cuz of a lack of options and we still beat Milan and Fiorentina.

 

[Ahmed]

I don't buy that for a sec...ppl said we can't afford the big-name players, and we spent 43 million Euros in the last mercato season, more than anyone else in the big 4

 

[Amaurisimo]

yes, and club bough all players which "they" been targeting already.
Even there was one player from M era

CR's only request was Sissoko..

[Amaurisimo]

he knows that we are getting few players ..

we bought Amauri...we have best striker force now..
we got new young guns too.

BTW, Lippi said Inter is gunning for title again..hm

 

[narchi]

We need Alonso, Diego, Grosso and Ivanović and we will have great team

 

[narchi]

I would sell Zanetti, because of marchisio. Molinaro because of De Ceglie and Zebina to free some space for Ivanović

 

[Marc]

I wouldn't sell Zanetti in a million years.

 

[David01]

I wouldn't sell Zanetti in a million years.

you think you will be around that long???

 

[Marc]

I believe in reincarnation.

 

[narchi]

So what you will then loan Marchisio?

 

[Marc]

Sooner then sell Zanetti, yes.
