The Juve defender has gone on to state that Chelsea will definitely feel the absence of the Ivorian striker, but pointed out that they will be a formidable outfit.
The Ivory Coast international was paramount to the success of the Blues in their European endeavours last season, which culminated in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 lifting the trophy. After slotting in the decisive penalty in the final against Bayern Munich and crowning the Stamford
Bridge outfit as the European Champions, Drogba sought to leave the club, despite the euphoria surrounding the victory.
Drogba left the Premier League outfit for a new challenge and despite interests from various outfits from all across Europe, the Ivorian international chose to select http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/China-c8926 as his next destination. It was an extremely lucrative deal for the African star.
Being a defender and having to contend with physically intimidating strikers every week, the defender understands the impact a big presence like Drogba can have on the team. Bonucci went on to comment that the former Marseille striker was able to carry the
attack of the team on his own shoulders.
Despite his relief that he would not have to contend with Drogba, the Azzurri international has gone on to state that the Blues are the Champions of Europe due to their cohesiveness and their working as a well oiled machine.
“They’ve lost an important piece in attack with the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Drogba-c11044 who formed the attack on his own. However, they are an important collective and we have to be alert.”
If Bonucci features in the Champions League match against Chelsea, it would be his debut in the premier European competition. Bonucci was optimistic about his side’s chances in the match against Chelsea, and stated that they have enough quality in their
ranks to make it further. He went on to comment:
“We are aware that the club directors here have done some good work on the market given the solid base which they had to work from. The entrance of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kwadwo-Asamoah-c21502 yesterday against Genoa proves as much. Juventus can fight on all fronts and we are not scared
of anyone.”
Juve would be travelling to London to play their first match in the competition since the 2009-10 season.
