Juventus striker Amauri is pleased with his side's winning start to the 2009-10 campaign, as they narrowly defeated Chievo on Sunday afternoon by a 1-0 scoreline.
"There are still some things to improve, but we are working on this. I am personally happy with my seasonal debut: I'm fine physically and worked well during the summer, I hope to continue like this," he was quoted as saying by La Repubblica.
Meanwhile, the Brazilian-born hitman could soon potentially suit up for the Italian national team, as he claims his passport is due to arrive in the near future.
"It's coming, I hope to have it this week," he explained. "This is the last document needed to finish the bureaucratic process to obtain my Italian passport."
Amauri joined Juventus from Palermo in the summer of 2008, in a cash plus player exchange deal. He scored 12 league goals in his inaugural season in Turin.
