Juventus’ new striker Amauri has issued a challenge to the Old Lady’s Scudetto rivals and insists the Bianconeri will lift a trophy this season.
The Brazilian-born marksman was Juve’s big summer signing after proving his devastating ability at Palermo over the last two years.
Despite criticism of Juve’s market activity from some sections of their support, Amauri is convinced that the new squad is strong enough to compete with the best.
“I’m not scared of Ronaldinho,” Amauri commented in the Corriere dello Sport.
“Milan are strong and lots of people say that they are better than us, but I’m convinced that is not the case. We will take on Ronaldinho, as well as Inter and Roma.
“This Juventus side isn’t lacking anything, we just need to work to improve and iron out some kinks in the mechanism. We are slowly on our way to the top.”
On a personal level, this is the biggest opportunity of Amauri’s career and his first chance to lift silverware.
“I have never won anything in my life and I wanted to join Juventus because I was convinced that playing for team like this I would finally win something.
“I don’t want to get ahead of myself but I want to tell the fans that I believe we will win things this year. But I’m not sure whether it will be the Scudetto or the Champions League.”
