The Bianconeri defender insists that the Old Lady earned the Scudetto with massive hard work on the field; hopes that the title will be the first of many trophies to come.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giorgio-Chiellini-c14963 has revealed that he is proud that he stayed with Juventus during their Serie B days, and insists that the tough struggle for the Serie A title only makes the victory taste that much sweeter.
The defender was part of the group of players who stayed with the Old Lady out of loyalty, when the club was relegated to Serie B due to their alleged involvement in match fixing scandal.
The centre-back insisted that he feels overwhelmed with pride, when he reflects on the thick and thin that he has suffered with the Bianconeri.
Chiellini stated that struggle in Serie B was a difficult time for everyone at the club, but maintained that the Scudetto is a befitting reward for their persistent hard work.
The Italian expressed his hope that the Scudetto triumph will be the start of another bright era for Juventus.
The former Fiorentina player insisted that they deserved the league title especially for their rock solid defence, which has kept them unbeaten throughout the season.
While talking to the press, the 27-year-old said:
“I’m proud that I was at this club during the Serie B years. They were tough times, but this Scudetto has made up for all of the disappointments. Now let’s hope we can start a new winning cycle. We deserved the Scudetto on the
field of play. We’re still unbeaten and we have the best defence. ”
Juventus confirmed their status as the Serie A Champions with a win over Cagliari, but Chiellini insisted that the turning point of their successful campaign was the win over Palermo.
The Bianconeri defender revealed that the victory over the Aquile reinforced in them a feeling of invincibility, and they could feel the Scudetto in their hands after the particular game.
“The decisive moment came after the win at Palermo. After that victory, we understood that nobody could stop us. It was in our hands from that moment.”
The 2-0 triumph in gameweek 30 of the league was one of the eight successive victories for Juventus.
