"Juve were used to having players like Zidane and Nedved. We can't win the Scudetto. Inter, Milan and Roma are stronger.

"The objective is fourth place. We have to roll up our sleeves and go forward like this.

"By now I am playing more as a deep-lying midfielder than as a central midfielder. I rarely score but I am fine this way.

"There are many injured players. This is Juve and it's hard work. But we need to go forward like this."
