Juventus ace Diego has told Milan and Inter that he is not afraid of them.
The stellar signing from Werder Bremen has laid his eyes on the Scudetto. Inter are the bookmakers' favourites for glory this season, but the Brazilian is ready to have his say.
"Juventus are always among the favourites, and we must not fear anyone," Diego told Tuttosport.
"We are not scared of anyone in the league, although it's clear that there are many contenders."
Milan and Inter are likely to be the biggest challengers to Juve's Scudetto ambition, but Diego is not afraid of either team.
"I am not interested or worried about Inter or Milan. We must not give ourselves any limits. We go on the pitch to win, not to make up the numbers," added Diego.
"Juve are a great team, and we want to obtain important results. Saying that, we have to improve certain aspects [of our game]."
The Old Lady's campaign kicks off on Sunday, when they welcome Chievo Verona to Turin.
