Juventus are slowly firming as the favorite for this season’s Scudetto, after making some key acquisitions in the summer, though the signings of Felipe Melo from Fiorentina and Diego from Werder Bremen in particular.

The Bianconeri are in good shape to this point, and according to their Brazilian born hitman Amauri, they are having an outstanding preseason, which will hold them in good stead for the campaign ahead.

“Overall, everything is going really well at the club,” Amauri affirmed in an interview, reported by Corriere dello Sport.

“I am very tired, but also very happy, and this is thanks to our coach Ciro Ferrara, who is making us work hard, but still remain enthused at the same time.

“We are working a lot harder than this time last year, but this is good, as if we continue to do this now, then we will be stronger in the latter stages of the season ahead.”

The 29-year-old had one final comment to make regarding the club’s recent signing Diego, and his immediate impact at the Bianconeri.

He added, “He is a very simple guy, who made a great impression with everyone right away.

“I certainly believe that with him here, we are going to be even stronger.”
