Pavel Nedved has confirmed that Juve’s main objective this season is the Champions’ League.
“After having won the Scudetto last year,” noted the Czech international, “it is only natural to try and extend that success to Europe. All we Juventus men think the same way about this issue.”
Indeed Gianluigi Buffon and Alessandro Del Piero have already made similar claims in the press, although Coach Marcello Lippi has refused to narrow down his options.
“I really think this will be the year of resurgence for Italian clubs on the continent,” continued the midfielder. “Finally after the World Cup they understand that it is best to attack and score one more than your opponents rather than concede one less.”
“I am sure that the Serie A sides will be protagonists in Europe this season. They won’t get knocked out early this time.”
The domestic League finally kicks off this weekend and Nedved took a look at the pretenders to Juve’s throne.
“Inter and Milan are a step above everyone else thanks to an incredible transfer campaign. We’ll also have to watch out for Roma, another great squad.”
Juventus themselves have made few changes, but one new addition is already making quite an impact.
“Marco Di Vaio is a great striker and we really needed his influence,” explained the former Lazio star. “It’s easy playing with him, you just provide the ball and he does the rest.”
The Bianconeri make their debut against Atalanta, one of the most on-form sides of the pre-season campaign.
“All we have to do now is think about winning and improving our play. Finally we step onto the field for real. The delayed start was understandable for financial reasons, but playing friendlies isn’t much fun.”
