Buffon: Inter Will Win Title

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is certain that Inter will lift the scudetto this season and he was full of praise for the Nerazzurri.

The shot stopper has, yet again, made his claim to be arguably the best shot stopper in world football following another fine season between the sticks.

Buffon believes Inter deserve to win the league and he has reassured Azzurri fans that he will be playing in Euro 2008 despite concerns over his recent back problems.

“Inter have dealt with every situation and their adversaries have not been able to profit from their recent blip,” Buffon told La Gazzetta Dello Sport.

“They will win the scudetto because they are the strongest team and they continue doing well.

“Compliments to Inter and Mancini. Would I be surprised to see Mancini leave? When you talk about football and Inter then I am not surprised, there have been many rebounds in Milan."

There have also been suggestions that Claudio Ranieri may give Buffon a rest for the final few games of the season, something which has raised concern over his fitness, but the shot-stopper insists all is well.

“As for the Euro’s I will be there 100 percent, I have been playing for four months now and we have managed to sort out the back problem.

“Ranieri might rest me but that’s down to him, we spoke about it and I told him I am always available.”

Juventus will hope to return to winning ways against relegation strugglers Catania at the weekend.

Flamini Joined Milan For Money - Ferrara

Juventus youth team coach Ciro Ferrara says that Mathieu Flamini rejected the Bianconeri in favour of Milan because he was offered more money.

Flamini

Both Juve and Milan were going toe-to-toe for the free transfer signing of the Arsenal midfielder, but it was the Diavoli who announced the player’s signature earlier this week.

This has led to claims from many people that Flamini only joined the Rossoneri due to a superior contract offer.

Ferrara was asked, during an interview with Tuttosport, whether Juve’s failure to sign the 24-year-old showed that the club was no longer capable of attracting top-class players.

"No, I simply think that the Frenchman chose to join Milan because the Rossonero club offered him more money,” Ferrara stated.

Scudetto

The former defender then promised fans that the team would be challenging for the title next season, but he was a little more hesitant with regards to the Champions League.

"Certainly we will be fighting for the Scudetto,” he declared.

“This season, our first in Serie A after a difficult championship in B, the goal was to qualify for the Champions League. But even this campaign, we were not far from the summit.

"I like to be realistic about the Champions League and I do not want to delude anyone.

“Take this year’s competition: how many teams who were equipped to win it, went out before the final?


“It is not enough to be strong, you need luck as well.

"But Juventus has in its DNA great determination and a great application to work.”

The 18-year-old is rated by many as one of Europe’s most promising talents, and a host of top clubs were said to be interested in signing him, including Juventus, Real Madrid and Manchester United.

Fiorentina have been trying to tie up a deal for quite sometime now, but have finally succeeded after the player passed a medical, before agreeing personal terms.

The Viola will pay Partizan £5 million for the striker, who has scored 19 goals in 63 appearances for the Serbian outfit.

"I've bought an important player," said Fiorentina transfer chief Corvino.

"Jovetic wanted to come here, I've agreed to pay £5 million and can announce his purchase."

Jovetic, known as the ‘new Dejan Savicevic’, has won one cap for the Montenegrin national team, and is part of an exciting batch of youngsters from the newly independent country.

The forward joins the youth brigade already present in Florence, players such as Riccardo Montolivo, Marco Donadel, Giampaolo Pazzini and Zdravko Kuzmanovic.

Cambiasso is injured and there are big chances he misses the trip to Parma. I wish they can force the broken Zlatan to the game, it will be a definitely choke choke choke.

Marvellous Sunday in Italy.

Viola win - Milan lose

Inter draw - Roma win

DP late equaliser puts Parma in a position where they have something to play for against Inter.
