Amauri: «I dedicate this goal to those who've allowed me to get here»

A lot of goals in the summer friendlies; then a more important one in the Champions league qualifier in Bratislava; and now, one in the League too. Amauri is quickly settling in at Juve. And goals (and performances) such as the one against Udinese are crucial for the Brazilian to become more and more of a fan favourite.

Coming off the pitch at the Olimpico, the former Palermo player expressed his happiness to Juventus Channel. «This is a special goal, which I dedicate to my family and to all those who helped me to arrive here at Juve. We created many chances today, we hit the woodwork twice and Handanovic made some excellent saves. With a little more luck, we could've won more comprehensively. But the important thing is that we won, to prepare ourselves for Wednesday's game. The Champions League? It'll be a new adventure for me. I’ll try and be ready in case the Manager needs me».
