ユベントスは新キットを発表！！

Five special models(Juventus Officail Website)

Buffon, Del Piero, Marchisio, Pirlo and Quagliarella were the special models for Juventus 2011/12 “shirt collection”. For the first time, in the dressing room of the new stadium, the five players wore the shirts for the next season and then spoke to media during the shirt presentation event.

Buffon: “We celebrated the clinching of the title in 2006 because we deserved it. I’d be delighted to have it back, it would be a second victory. Ten years ago, when I joined Juventus, the team came from important successes, now this team is trying to travel the same path. We have very good purposes, the club operated at their best, and now it’s up to us. Pirlo was never an enemy. We met when playing in the National Under-15, we needed this kind of player.”

Del Piero: “About the matter concerning the 2006 title, I’ll wait the definitive developments, now I prefer to focus my attention on the future. With Conte as our manager, I’d like to live again those events occurred ten years ago, especially the same end of season. Pirlo? I’m happy for his arrival, the club couldn’t sign a better player.”

Marchisio: “In these days, I’ve just known that many fans expressed their total affection towards me. I’d like to thank and also reassure them. I’ve just signed a five year renewal and I’m very happy.”

Pirlo: “The Bianconeri’s colours are very important, this shirt is very important. I wished for a change after many years and now I want to give my contribution to take Juventus to those winning ways that this team deserves. Where can we get? Now we must think in working hard only.”

Quagliarella: “This is my first time at the new stadium and I’m really speechless: it’s amazing! I can’t wait to play here and forget the terrible injury I suffered last year. I’ve already started my preparation, and even on holidays I didn’t rest. I want to repay the club’s confidence, they’ve bought me back even if I got injured, and therefore I’ll aim at scoring a substantial number of goals.”

ユベントスは2011/12シーズンのユニフォームをジャンルイジ・ブッフォン、アレッサンドロ・デル・ピエロ、クラウディオ・マルキジオ、アンドレア・ピルロ、ファビオ・クアリャレッラの５人をモデルとして発表した。

新スタジアムの完成にともなうもので、伝統のビアンコネーロ、白のジャージに黒のパンツ、創生期のカラーであるピンクに黒のラインがはいったものの３種類に、ブッフォンがＧＫジャージ、マルキジオがポロシャツを披露している。

ブッフォンは「私が移籍してから１０年になる。２００６年以来のスクデットに飢えており、これから成功の道を歩む」とコメント。デル・ピエロも「コンテを監督に迎えて１０年前のような素晴らしいシーズンにしたいね。ピルロの加入は歓迎だよ」と続ける。移籍が噂されるマルキジオも「たくさんのファンに期待されているのは嬉しいよ。新しい契約にサインしたばかりだし最高だね」と。ピルロも「ビアンコネーロのジャージは重要だ」と強調した上で「勝利の道を続けるように努力するよ」と強気のコメントを残した。クアリャアレッラは「新スタジアムは初めての体験で素晴らしいね。怪我でシーズンを棒に振ったけど、それは忘れた。もう新しいシーズンに向けて準備を始めてるよ。バカンスだけど、プレーしたくてたまらないんだ。大事なゴールを狙っていくよ」と意気込みを話している。

キットのお披露目は中心選手の印。この５人は中心選手として来シーズンの核となるに違いない。

ヂエゴの番号は誕生日の２８に！！

ユベントスの新戦力ヂエゴの番号は２８番に決まった。１０番はデル・ピエロの番号であり、簡単には譲ってもらえない。２８番もモリナーロの番号だが、そちらは問題なかったようで。

No No10, no problem for Diego(uefa.com)

Brazilian international Diego admitted he felt "privileged to play alongside a football genius like Alessandro Del Piero" when he was officially unveiled to the press as Juventus started their pre-season camp at the Alpine resort of Pinzolo.

'The solution'
With Del Piero in proud possession of the No10 jersey in Turin, Diego has ended speculation about what number he will wear after opting for the No28 shirt. "Two and eight – the date I was born," explained the 24-year-old, born on that day in February 1985. The loss of the No10 from his back is, the playmaker insisted, a happy compromise if it allows him to feature in the same team as the Juventus captain. "Me and him together will be the solution, not the problem," he said.

Team ethos
"My favourite role is just behind the forwards," Diego added as he speculated on how he and the more out-and-out attacker Del Piero may be used in tandem. Set-pieces, it was suggested, is another area of potential overlap, yet Diego, the €24.5m summer signing from Werder Bremen, will be happy to share duties with the Italian, 34. "It does not make any difference who is taking free-kicks," he said. "The only thing that matters is that we will have several options and that makes everything more difficult for goalkeepers."

'Great history'
The former Santos FC and FC Porto man has signed a five-year deal with the Bianconeri, who begin the season determined to claim their first major silverware since capturing their 27th Serie A title in 2002/03. "I did not have any doubts when it came to deciding which team I should join," said Diego. "Juve have a great history, a strong team – we can achieve big things."

Sissoko ambition
The UEFA Champions League is on that shopping list, and with the experienced Fabio Cannavaro also arriving this summer and Ciro Ferrara installed at the helm, midfielder Mohamed Sissoko is confident the Bianconeri can improve on last season when they finished runners-up to FC Internazionale Milano. "Diego and Cannavaro are great signings," he said. "They have experience and have proved their worth with every team they played for. We are ready to fight for the title with Inter and AC Milan. We are strong and eager to prove it."

２８番はヂエゴの誕生日が２月２８日だからということらしい。２＋８が１０番ということでもあるかもしれない。

いずれにしても１０番じゃないことは問題ではない。プレーがすべてであり、ヂエゴはユベントスのためにプレーすることを楽しみにしているようだ。

新しいユニフォームはホワイト＆ブラックとグレーを基調にしたもの。似たような色だが、アウェイでは違うものなのだろうか。昨シーズンの黄金色とか、いつもの青とか。

そういうことも気になるところ。２４日からのピースカップでお披露目ということになるのだろうけれどもね。

そのときにもヂエゴのフィットも確かめたいね。
