Ranieri: «We'll have to restart from here»

A match ends, a season finishes (at least in terms of official engagements, as there's still a tour of China and Australia to go on), but the focus is already on the future. This has always been Juventus' way of thinking. And it's the way of thinking of the current team and their Manager too.

Claudio Ranieri spoke to Juventus Channel with his mind already on next July: «This year we created a group and the team came into its own. We'll have to restart from here. In these last few months, some milestones have been set. The first was returning to Serie A, the second was qualifying for the Champions League. The next one will have to be to build on these foundations and progress. I would've wanted to win the League title already this year, we'll try to do so next season. Today's game? We had fun watching two teams that had no table worries but only focused on playing football. I took Del Piero off because we were missing a man in midfield and we were struggling too much there. In any case he played an extraordinary game again, just like Cassano».
