No Need to Think of Ronaldhino

I am not jealous of Milan’s signing – Ranieri

Claudio Ranieri was furious to hear journalists asking him about the signing of Ronaldinho to Milan although it was obvious that some would attempt to ask the Tinkermann the question. Ranieri slammed that this Juventus side does not require the services of the Brazilian dribbler. Ranieri was earlier this week heard commenting that any person that says that this Juventus side is not full of quality is an animal/beast.

Then again, upfront Juventus have the best formidable attack in Europe.

“I know very well that this question will be repeated several times over the following months, but I repeat that Juve are fine like this.”

“We are already highly competitive and we want to improve even more. All everyone talks about is Ronaldinho to Milan, and possibly Lampard or Quaresma to Inter… but they forget about the quality Juve already have. Then it will be the verdict of the pitch, at the end of the season, that says which team reinforced itself most.”

Ranieri is confident that this Juventus side is full of quality and on this point I have to agree with him yet we might need two more quality players to be of a stronger force in both competitions. The brilliance of youngsters Giovinco and Marchisio as well as the strength of Sissoko, Poulsen and Zanetti should be more then enough to solidify the Juventus midfield.

Then again, upfront Juventus have the best formidable attack in Europe. Are Amauri, Trezegeut, Del Piero and Iaquinta not the best group of strikers to have in one team? Trezegeut was overlooked by French Coach Raymond Domenech eventhough he ended up runner-up to team-mate Del Piero in the Serie A Top Scorer list. Iaquinta proved to Juventus that he is an excellent super-sub last season especially when he entered against his former side Udinese and scored with his first touch of the ball! Now for Amauri he already proved his class against Juventus when Palermo won 3-2 in a match where Juve totally dominated, yet Amauri’s brilliance made the few shots Palermo had count more.

As for the defensive section, Chiellini should be the solid rock of the Juve defence together with Zebina and Legrottaglie. Zebina’s overlaps and brilliance in getting the ball upwards very easily showed that he still has the ability he requires. Mellberg, Knezevic and De Ceglie too will be instrumental in the Juventus defence yet it would have been more powerful to sign a star defender to pair him up with Chiellini to form a strong defensive line-up.
