The Juventus coach believes that the real Bianconeri's squad will be seen in the coming weeks once all the new players have gelled together.
Claudio Ranieri is not too happy to lose out nine players because of the national teams just one week before the start of the new Serie A campaign.
"Not having nine national team players is disheartening, it would have been better to prepare for the return to Serie A with all of the team available.
"Everyone will be back on Thursday and at that point we shall have a couple of days to prepare the match against Livorno.
“This Juve has changed a lot and let's not forget that it has surpassed a tsunami," he said referring to the Calciopoli scandal and Serie B demotion.
"So far we have always played against teams which are already teams, whereas we must still become so. A mother takes nine months to give birth to a child, so give us a bit more time."

Ranieri: We’re ready to go
Thursday 23 August, 2007
Juventus Coach Claudio Ranieri has insisted that his squad doesn’t need any reinforcements to reach the Champions League.
It is widely agreed that the Bianconeri’s realistic target for their first season back in Serie A is to finish in the top four and book a place in Europe’s showpiece club competition.
While there have been murmerings that the Old Lady haven’t made enough significant signing during the summer, Ranieri seems content.
“We don’t need any more players whatever people say,” the ex-Parma man told the Juventus Channel.
“Emerson and Fabio Cannavaro are two great players, but their time with Juve is over. They are two players who have reached their peak and we need to develop young talent.
“Next year we will make the Champions League and I’m convimced that we will have a very satisfying year – we just need to trust the players.”
The Cadetti champions start their season at home to Livorno on Saturday night and Ranieri is ready for some ring-rustiness.
“It’s important to start well because I know how tough this championship can be,” he concluded.
“It’ll take all the players four or five games to get into their stride.”

Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri has joined the chorus of complainants against the timing of the recent round of international fixtures which has hampered his preparations for the season opener against Livorno on Saturday.
"At this point to not have nine international players available is discouraging,” sighed the coach, who famously was dubbed ‘Tinkerman’ by the British press for the frequency and at times questionable nature of his substitutions while at the helm of Chelsea.
"Preparations for a return to the Serie A with the whole squad available would surely have been better," he added.
Ranieri’s gripe was more so directed against the Lega Calcio, who earlier this summer were unmoved by calls to move the Serie A season forward by a week in light of the fixture congestion caused by the Euro qualifiers.
Italy play France and Ukraine in two crucial Euro 2008 qualifiers in early September, games which could make or break their qualification campaign.

I think ranieri is bad solution for Juve. I only felt sorry ewhen Abramovic given him the CL & Premier League ultimatum... But that is kind a funny! 
I rather like Juve with defensive mantality, actualy strong defence, like in time with Montero, Capello the bitch, and one & only Mr. Lippi!

It is amazing how many people hate him when all he does is win. Fans like to worship players too much.
Yes, winning is the whole point of playing sports. The whole "having fun" thing is for movies and losers. Winning = Fun.... YAY!
Passion, Spirit, Support and Tradition is all built on winning. I think you guys watch too many movies. None of you would be Juventus fans if they didn't win. Winning builds tradition, it creates spirit. With winning comes fans (support) and passion. Obviously, we all believe in a team that wins. Lets step back and have a reality check.
I would say that I agree, but then I had a look at Juventus performances in Champions League in 2004/05 and 2005/06 and my God, what a disgrace. With that team Juventus should have gone far more, instead of looking ridicolous againt objectively speaking, weaker teams. Because thre is no way Arsenal, Liverpool or Werder are actually a better team than Juve. And Juve didn´t win just because of his cold professionalism, wrong approach and disastrous tactics and decisions. Since I care more about Champions League than Scudetto I would never bring Capello again.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Totally agree. IMO with the squad we had those years any coach could get one championship. we only struggled against teams with proper coaches.
I know that capello wins wherever he goes but those two years were his worst technically.
people criticize ranieri for not winning CL or a major league but he was not supposed to. he took two mid table teams that never dreamed of competing (chelsea and velencia) plus he provided them with a great youth players that are now heroes ( lampard, terry, Vicente, Angolo .....)
