FIGHTING FOR TITLES
"Wednesday will be a very important game for us. Qualifying in first place from our Champions League group is an objective that was set at the beginning of the season that we strongly want to achieve, and that this team has shown to deserve.
"In Serie A, for now we have a great advantage, which we will try to extend, but Napoli and Inter have proved to be excellent teams, and we will have to compete with them until the end".
STRONGEST JUVE?
"I think that this is the strongest Juventus after seven league titles. We have a big squad and the club is working every year to improve it and continue winning the Scudetto. Allegri is a great manager and is very good tactically; he transmits a lot of qualities to us.
"In addition, Cristiano is certainly giving us a great benefit with his experience, quality, and his way of working to improve continuously. All of those aspects have struck me a lot."
WILL TO WIN
"When I signed with Juventus, the President showed me a picture of the Juve team that had won five championships in a row and he told me we have to improve upon it. We succeeded that, even reaching seven titles, but now we have to win new trophies. "Gigi [Buffon] is a legend, probably the best goalkeeper of all time. He was an important man in the locker room, an example that radiated Bianconero. After his farewell, the point of reference has become even more so Chiello [Giorgio Chiellini]. He and Gigi know how to make you understand what Juventus are about, they are role models to be followed for their dedication and professionalism, and great champions like that are always better to have as teammates rather than opponents."
FUTURE GOALS
"My dream is to win the Champions League with Juventus, and we will do everything to bring it home. The treble must also be a dream and a goal for us."
