06.05.2011 WHITE AND BLACK
I really needed some hours to put together my ideas before trying to express them here for you, you, that also this time made me feel special. Honestly, it's not that easy, because what happened yesterday left me with a lot of emotions feelings and significance. Today like 18 years ago... The only thing that has changed, is the way to express it all: as someone said yesterday, in 1993 i didn't have any cell phone while today there's Facebook
You have been always close to me, full of incredible passion and I have always felt it, all that helps me to go on, to look forward and to set new targets more challenging than ever. Now I have one more reason to remember the 5th of May, because yesterday I lived through wonderful moments, that have a great symbolic value for me, like a signature set on a new contract at the new Juventus stadium, the one that next year will become our home. I'll be happy to be there.
But even on this occasion I can't help thinking about the pitch, about the next three games awaiting for us and about the next season. All in all, yesterday's event is "just" a new start.
I think about tomorrow. But I want to express my gratitude, that is far from a formal one, my "thank you" is coming from my heart. First of all I want to thank Stefano, who is the best manager in the world for me ( and just think that it's not the best thing he can do: as my brother he's even better!).
A lot of thanks to Mr. Dario Tosetti, who's been working with me for many years, always being competent, professional and passionate. Lots of thanks to all my staff and to those who work behind the scenes.
Many thanks to the Juventus and to President Agnelli, who turned yesterday into a really special and important day for me: I'm really happy to have signed this contract with him, as I was happy to sign my first one with Giampiero Boniperti.
A lot of thanks to all of you, I have no words.. Together, for 18 years, we have lived through a lot. But always in black and white.
And it's not over yet.
Alessandro
