“We have to find the team spirit that was missing in the Confederations Cup. We can find it only by playing well, winning, and suffering all together. We want to give everything we can for the upcoming World Cup, remember we are the World champions”: a clear message that Gianluigi Buffon launched from Coverciano, where the national team is preparing for the two qualifying matches against Georgia and Bulgaria.
Juventus, Cassano and the league season are the main issues during the press conference with the goalkeeper. “I do not know whether the Juventus block here on the national team is an advantage – said Buffon, refereeing to the presence of eight Juventus players on the team.
But Lippi made his choices based on the league season. Juve is a high level team and has decided to count on Italian players: it is normal that the head coach follows up closely on what the Juventus team is doing”. With regards to Cassano: “Lippi explained his decision, and I do not think the doors are closed for Cassano. The team has neven been opposed to any player.
From now until the World Cup anything can happen. It is pointless to say that there are situations that can make some people unhappy, but we have to be coherent. First comes the group, and the decisions are up to the coach”.
An answer to the Inter coach, Mourinho: “Juventus fans have the right to dream about winning the league title. We have to be realistic: it will be very difficult. Inter is the best team all-around. And even though they took two titles from us, they cannot take away our dreams.”
