Club CEO Giuseppe Marotta spoke in Milan today to offer his own personal assessment of the season just passed and the year ahead and to clarify a variety of issues surrounding the team.
The key quotes from his interview are as follows:
JUVE, A BENCHMARK FOR SUCCESS
"Juventus has proven itself to be a benchmark for success, undoubtedly a source of jealousy for others, and it is for that very reason that we must continue trying to improve ourselves."
CARDIFF RUMOURS
"I was there and I can assure you that nothing of the sort reported in the press occurred. There were no clashes between players, not even harsh words between them. The coach's half-time speech was the only thing that happened."
DANI ALVES
"With regards to Dani Alves, we are disappointed but these are the dynamics of the modern game. We will be wishing the Dani the very best if he decides to continue his career elsewhere.
"Right now, we are working hard to keep the quality of the squad at the highest possible level and one befitting of the history and prestige of this club."
LOOKING FORWARDS
"It was an extraordinary end to the season and I have no doubt that this group of players will continue to be successful in the coming campaign. The Scudetto and Coppa Italia trophies were confirmation of that.
"Looking forwards, we have a collection of very exciting young players who will become the future of Juventus. At this point we have no intention of letting anyone go: we are hopeful and confident of keeping the squad together."
