Storari: "It’s An Honor Being With Juventus"
The day after hernia operation of Gigi Buffon, Marco Storari is in the press office to speak with journalists. It will be his and Alexander Manninger’s duty not to regret the Number One and Storari is very aware of the responsibility awaiting him:
"It’s an honor being with Juventus and playing with so many champions. I hope Buffon will come back soon, having to chance to train with him will be so great. I’ll call him soon to wish him good luck".
They ask him if his arrival to Juventus is due to Buffon’s injury, to his good performances or to his relationship with Del Neri: "If Buffon was not injured, I’d have never got to Juve and if I did not play well with Samp I would not have been chosen. The same, if Del Neri was not satisfied with me, I would have never arrived here. I think it’s a mix of reasons that took me to Juventus Juve".
Concerning Del Neri, the goalkeeper describes this way the new bianconero trainer: "I knew him only for six months. Since I arrived to Sampdoria, in January, we started winning and so I lived only good moments. I met a kind person, even though he always made clear that he was the one taking decisions. To goalkeeper he asks to play high and follow all defense movements. It won’t be a problem, because he prepares teams very well".
To Juve Marco will have to fight for his place, but this doesn’t frighten him: "One hopes for the best for his career, but now I only think about training and if I’ll deserve it, I will play, like it happens in all teams. In Milan there were hierarchies. I was goalkeeper number four, then I found myself playing as a holder. I stayed one year in Florence where I played only once, but I never considered myself as a second choice. I will be available and I’ll try lending a hand to the group. I’m not a little boy anymore and I believe that a suggestion from a 33 old boy can be useful".
About his first days at Juventus the judgment can only be positive: "I found a large organization and a great club with so many champions. Even though I did not spend so much time here yet, I think the group is fine. Market rumors are not disturbing us, we know that it will be so till negotiations will be over. We are professional players and we cannot be influenced. Is someone skeptical regarding this team?"
"Maybe because last year they did not arrive among the first four. If this had happened to another club it would have been normal, but for Juventus this cannot be. You cannot be low profile here. Favorite teams for Scudetto? Inter who won everything, but also Milan, Roma and Juventus, of course".
