- Thread starter Maresca
- Start date
The Juventus goalkeeper is not pessimistic about the idea of the Bianconeri fighting for the top honour in Serie A, but admitted that the Old Lady still requires at least one central defender to complete the squad.
Gianluigi Buffon has decided to stay with Juventus and he will aim to help the Bianconeri reach at least a Champions League spot, even though his dream would be to win the Scudetto.
"We're aiming for the qualification to the Champions League, but we shall annoy everyone," promised the Italian international goalkeeper who decided to be faithful to the Old Lady despite receiving many offers from Europe's top clubs.
Buffon also warned the critics not to write Juventus off for the league title, especially since the squad is almost complete.
"The summer calculations for the Scudetto are often wrong. We just need a central defender, but I have no preferences between Milito and Cannavaro."

Buffon: Juve Year Zero
Gianluigi Buffon believes the season in Serie B was a necessary “purgatory” to pick up where they left off – as winners.
“This is Juventus Year Zero. We are starting again after a year of, let us say a purifying form of purgatory,” he told Sky Italia.
“I am happy to hear that our opponents have great respect for a Juve that has returned to Serie A. It means you cannot cancel history with a season in Serie B.”
The Bianconeri had won two consecutive titles before they were demoted in the Calciopoli scandal and stripped of those trophies.
Now they are back in the top flight and Buffon is gunning for the reigning champions Inter – a side he was reportedly close to joining this summer.
“They are the strongest and most complete squad who have everything needed to repeat their success a second time. No, wait, third!”
The goalkeeper joked that the 2005-06 Scudetto was handed to Inter, who had finished third, after Calciopoli affected both Juventus and Milan.
“We will make life very difficult for Inter, that I can say for sure.”
Buffon was asked to comment on the news that Francesco Totti has retired from international duty at the age of almost 31.
“I have known Francesco since we were in the same Under-14 squad, so we will have a chance to talk.
“I cannot say anything about his previous choices or this one. He proved with this decision that he was consistent with what he said a year ago. As for what is right and what is wrong, that I shall never be drawn on.”
