  1. Gianluigi Buffon: Inter Are Really Strong, But Juventus Can Challenge Them The Bianconeri shot-stopper feels his side are as good as the Nerazzurri... Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has hailed bitter rivals Inter, but he has warned them not to expect any easy cruise towards the title. The Italian international has been left impressed with the strength and depth of the Nerazzurri following a decent transfer campaign. However, he feels his Bianconeri side have what it takes to challenge them. "I have seen a great Inter. They impressed me with the personality and play. They are really strong," Buffon told Tuttosport. "However, we can gain some joy and we hope to. Our process of growth continues and we will see if we are doing things right after some time. "We have to start well and everything will become serious next Sunday." Although Buffon believes Juve have closed the gap, he was unclear about how far behind his side are compared to the Beneamata. "Have we caught up with Inter? I don't want to respond to this question," added Buffon. "When we were in their position, winning all the time, the same questions were asked to other teams, and this used to annoy me." Juventus beat Inter in the Trofeo Tim friendly tournament on Friday night.
  2. GUGLIELMO STENDARDO Guglielmo Stendardo, nasce a Napoli, il 6 maggio 1981; cresce nella società partenopea, insieme al fratello Mariano, con la quale esordisce in Serie A contro il Bari, il 16 maggio 1998. Nella squadra campana resta solo per una stagione, totalizzando solo quella presenza. Lanno seguente si trasferisce alla Sampdoria, dove giocherà per cinque stagioni in serie B, collezionando 33 presenze totali. Guglielmo, detto Willy è un difensore roccioso, molto forte fisicamente, anche se non eccelle in velocità; nellestate del 2003 è ceduto in prestito, per sei mesi ,alla Salernitana, dove colleziona 17 presenze, impreziosite da 4 reti. Ancora cambi di maglia, sempre in serie B, negli anni successivi, con Catania (42 presenze, in prestito dal Perugia, che lo rileva nellestate 2003) e Perugia, dove scende in campo 35 volte e realizza 2 goals. In seguito al fallimento del Perugia di Luciano Gaucci, nella stagione 2005-06 ritrova la serie A, trasferendosi a Roma, nella Lazio di Delio Rossi; nella sua prima stagione, scende in campo 18 volte segnando una rete. Mentre, nella stagione seguente totalizza 21 presenze e 3 goals. Il campionato 2007-08 comincia bene per Willy, in quanto gli infortuni di Siviglia e Diakité lo promuovono titolare; schierato accanto a Cribari per tutta la prima parte della stagione, alterna buone prestazioni ed altre meno positive, complice anche il calo di rendimento di tutta la squadra. A metà dicembre 2007, in seguito allesclusione dallundici titolare per la partita contro il Real Madrid, litiga con Delio Rossi, provocando la reazione della dirigenza che lo mette fuori rosa. Nel gennaio 2008, la Juventus, causa limpressionante serie di infortuni nel reparto difensivo, lo prende in prestito fino a giugno. La cifra del riscatto viene fissata a 12 milioni di Euro, troppo onerosa perché la Juventus possa essere interessata al riscatto. Esordisce, con la maglia numero 25 bianconera, il 30 gennaio nella partita Juventus-Inter, valida per la Coppa Italia. In campionato lesordio avviene il 16 marzo, nella gara interna contro il Napoli. Il 20 aprile, realizza la sua unica rete stagionale a Bergamo, contro lAtalanta, deviando impercettibilmente un colpo di testa di Legrottaglie dopo soli 48 secondi, goal più veloce della stagione. Le sue buone prestazioni convincono i dirigenti juventini a trattare con la Lazio, per il riscatto ad un prezzo inferiore a quello concordato; non raggiungendo laccordo, nellestate del 2008, Willy ritorna a Roma, dopo aver vestito solamente per sei volte la maglia bianconera.
  3. Italy Have The Same Chance Of Winning World Cup As In 2006 - Buffon Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon talked about being a part of the Azzurri's old guard and the team's chances of successfully defending their World Cup title next summer. Earlier today Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon had said that he wouldn't mind seeing his Juventus team-mate Amauri join the Azzurri national team. However, he also talked about several other topics to Sky Sport, concerning both his club and the national team. "The young players have shown good personality and they were ready," he said. "That is what makes the difference. If they maintain these characteristics they won't have problems to impose themselves in the national team." On Mauro Camoranesi's injury in yesterday's friendly against Switzerland, "It's not a good thing for Juve, because Mauro is one of the most underrated players in the world. He is one of the few players we have at Juve who can improve the team's quality when he is feeling good physically." About being called a player of the 'old guard', Buffon said, "I don't feel old, I am 31 and a goalkeeper, so I feel anything but old. Maybe it's because I've been in the national team for 13 years, but just looking at my age I'm not old at all. Many of the players who were involved in the World Cup victory are referred to as 'old' now. "I think that in the end it's not age that matters, I think certain players should be evaluated for what they give on the pitch and not their birth certificate." Asked what Italy's chances are of winning the World Cup again next summer, he said, "I think there's a very small chance, but it's the same we had just before the 2006 World Cup. If we are all in top form, I think our chances are the same. "Do Juve have a better chance of winning the Scudetto? I should hope so. During a World Cup there are five to seven national teams capable of winning it, but the league is like a war, it's restricted to three or four teams, so clearly the possibilities grow."
