Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has stated that the Bianconeri
will soon return to the winning machine they were before the
Calciopoli scandal but has warned the fans they have to be
patient.
The Turin-giants were relegated for their part in the scandal and
handed a heavy points penalty. This led to numerous world-class
players such as Fabio Cannavaro, Lilian Thuram, Patrick Vieira and
Zlatan Ibrahimovic leaving the club.
La Vecchia Signora immediately returned to Serie A at the first
attempt but are now beginning to feel the loss of so many
high-profile players. Buffon admits it will take time for the
Bianconeri to grow again but is certain they will soon become the
force they once were.
The important values of Juventus have remained, said Buffon.
Throughout our history we have succeeded and excelled because of
these values. This year of course we will lose some games but it is
not the end of the world, we will soon return to our
winning-ways.
It is just necessary to have a bit of patience and understand that
we cant start winning trophies immediately. The fans should
understand that all we need is a bit of patience.
