Iaquinta: First The World Cup; Now The Scudetto!
New Juventus forward Vincenzo Iaquinta was part of the Italy squad to win last year's World Cup. Now, he's set his sights on the scudetto with the Old Lady...
In an interview with fans on the TuttoSport website, Juventus striker Vincenzo Iaquinta insisted that not only is he dead-set on winning the scudetto with his new club, but that he'd have joined them even in Serie B.
Juventus came straight back up last season following their relegation after Calciopoli, and Iaquinta said that "of course" he would have loved to have been a part of that.
But he was more concerned with the current season, and his goals within it.
"The main obective is to qualify for the Champions League.
"But if we got into those places and got into a fight for first place, we wouldn't give up.
"We have the team to do it, both technically and mentally."
The 19-times capped striker arrived from Udinese this summer, and in the same interview named the former Zebrette coach Luciano Spalletti as his favourite coach to date, and the one with the most influence on his career.
Iaquinta scored 58 league goals during his time at the Friuli. He has also served Reggiolo, Padova and Castel di Sangro.
