“If I think of our situation just a month ago compared to now, or if I think that more or less one year ago, on the 14th of July last year, the first degree verdict was issued, relegating Juventus to Serie B, with a lot of points deducted too, and that now we're about to start a new season in Serie A, well I can only be happy."
A radiant Jean–Claude Blanc closed the press conference for the start of the season, held at the Vinovo Sports Centre. Juventus' M.D. talked about the new signings, which everyone in the industry has considered of the highest quality: “We have built a young team, the average age is around 25, but in which there are many internationals, and as many as four World Champions, as well as another player who appeared in the World Cup Final. Both the players and the management staff have experience and quality and now will have to demonstrate their value on the pitch. I'm convinced that if we work hard we will reap the rewards”. The final achievement for Juventus was ensuring that Pavel Nedved is staying: “A football team has to convey emotions, but the club also has to find a balance, and work for the future, and indeed our new players have signed four-year contracts, to guarantee continuity. With Pavel we acted differently because he's part of a larger project that goes beyond a single contract, and last night we reached an agreement that satisfies both him and us. It's up to him, alongside Ale, Gigi, Mauro and David, to pass on the new values and the DNA of Juventus”.
Despite the many new signings, Juventus could still purchase other players: “We have until the 31st of August, at midnight. We have already built a strong team, I'd say we've done 98%, but we'll be ready anyway to seize any opportunities that may arise. What did I think of the summer transfers market? Well I had already followed last year's operations, but they were more in terms of selling. This year I saw the other side of the coin: it's a very competitive world, because quality players are all under contract and we have to take into consideration the players' needs and their agents' needs, as well as those of the clubs. In any case we tried to sign quality players that could be useful to Juventus, at the right price”.
The fact that Juventus won't take part in the Champions League this year didn’t have any influence on the deals: “Absolutely not, both in terms of renewing our own players' contracts and in terms of purchasing new players. Juventus are still Juventus, with or without the Champions League”. At the end of the press conference Blanc mentioned the Delle Alpi Stadium situation: “When the Board of Directors meets in August we will submit our plan. There are different possibilities, but the one we're more interested in also happens to be the most ambitious one, that is to rebuild the Stadium entirely, making it the best one in Italy”.
