The Bianconeri are expected to mount a title challenge this
coming season, however they have been criticised for their summer
transfer campaign after signing a number of physical rather than
technical players.
"Juve will never be the most beautiful team in the championship.
This is for certain,” Buffon told the Corriere dello Sport.
“However, we will be the team who are the most difficult to beat. I
don’t know if we will win the league, but I can assure you that we
will fight hard for everything.
“None of us have forgotten what happened [with Calciopoli]. For two
years we have been motivated by an incredible desire for revenge
and this has often been decisive.
“Now that we are about to return to our old levels we could lose
something [in terms of desire].
“That is why Juventus was reinforced in one specific direction:
muscles and strength.”
Buffon then went on to stress for the umpteenth time over the past
few weeks that rivals Milan are the favourites for the Scudetto,
although he has promised that Juve will put up a tough fight to
stop them.
"Milan were favourites for the Scudetto even without Ronaldinho.
With the Brazilian, even more so,” he explained.
“The fact they are not playing in the Champions League is a great
advantage for Ancelotti. But they will have us to reckon with.”
