http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luca-Toni-c22526 ready to sit on bench but wants Juventus stay – Serie A news
Juventus striker, Luca Toni, has revealed that he would be staying with the Italian giants for at least one more season. He mentioned that the Turin giants might want someone as experienced as him for the next season and also offered support to the newly
appointed coach, Antonio Conte. Toni reckoned that the 41-year-old might struggle at first and therefore wished to help his coach, out who is himself a former Juventus player.
The striker believed that he could still cover a considerable distance and hoped to appear in most of the Juventus games during the upcoming 2011/12 season. He admitted that it would be extremely difficult to replace the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-c4710
Matri, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Amauri-c5381 but thought that he could bring all his experience into play if he is given a chance by the new manager.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 international did enjoy some fine form towards the end of the last season and was hopeful of putting up a repeat performance in the next season. The 34-year-old retired from international football in 2009 after serving Italy for five years. During
that period, he made 47 appearances for the Italian national side and netted in 16 goals. Toni was part of the Genoa outfit at the start of the 2010/11 campaign but shook hands with the Old Lady during the January transfer window. The veteran was initially
brought as a replacement to injured Quagliarella and made 14 league appearances for the club until the end of the season. He bagged two goals during the process. The striker has also represented the likes of Fiorentina, Bayern Munich, Palermo and AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603.
It was believed that the new tactician, Conte, might not prefer the 34-year-old in his final XI but the striker clearly stated that he was ready to sit on the bench and help the youngsters in order to help the Turin giants regain their lost status.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toni-c35414 concluded by saying, "It's clear that I am still part of the project for the club. Therefore I will stay and do all I can to help the new coach. We have to start well after a poor season."
The Italian urged his side to stay focused and make a positive start to the upcoming season. Juventus finished the 2010/11 season seventh in the league table which denied them a place even in the UEFA Europa League.
