Villar Perosa is always a special appointment on the calendar and Juventus Vice President Pavel Nedved has seen quite a few of them. At Sunday's special day, Nedved spoke exclusively to the Juventus TV microphones.
"I have lived Villar Perosa many times and it's a particularly beautiful and unique thing. A moment where the fans help you truly understand what Juventus means as a new player. When I was a player, I felt chills when going to the villa because I knew the meaning of the Agnelli family in Italy and for Juventus. It was always a huge motivator."
A BUSY SUMMER
Nedved then looked at some of the big summer moves by the club.
"The arrival of Ronaldo? Juventus has really taken another step forward in Europe. It's an exceptional thing to be able to bring him here because I think it pushes forward our future and also for all of Italian football.
"There's been very little talk about Emre Can but this was an important move. He was wanted across Europe by many big clubs but we managed to sign him. He's a player with a lot of substance to his game both tactically and technically.
"He is a typical German player who knows how to distribute very well. You'll see that he will be very important to the team. Cancelo? I haven't seen so many players at Juventus with his personality, technique and drive."
THE SEASON
Looking ahead to this season's goals... "They never change. The only word is the one that the president always says: win. Winning everywhere, every game is what matters to us and we want to demonstrate it beginning with the Chievo match."
