From Genova to Torino. From Genoa to Juventus. Everything happened in a few hours. Luca Toni (64.39 points FTBL reiting)  is Juventus’ new forward and he is already at mister Del Neri’s disposal, ready to give his contribution starting from next Sunday evening away match vs. Napoli.

Waiting to go down to the pitch, the scorer from Modena (born in Pavullo del Frignano on 26th May 1977) said his first words as a bianconero. Important words, by someone who centered a target in his career. «I’m so happy, being here is a dream come true. Juve is Juve anyway, and I did not hesitate, not even a minute, to accept their offer. Also with a lower fee than the one I used to receive from Genoa».

Immediately caring, Toni is ready to face this new reality. And he is already aware of what wearing Juventus jersey means: «I’m coming here with so much enthusiasm and I’m ready for trainer’s decisions. I feel physically fine and also yesterday I played 90 minutes. In this team I know many boys and I know how deep is their victories’ hunger, otherwise they won’t be here. I so willing to win too, and keep on scoring, as I always did in my career».

An agreement for a year and a half, jersey number 20 («9 and 30 were already taken, but I always liked this, anyway»), Toni gets to Juve after two experiences in Roma and in Genoa. But most of all from the one in giallorosso, the forward wants to take inspiration. «One year ago, I arrived at Roma, the team was late and they almost reached the Scudetto. I’d like to live this experience again so much, for this reason I hope I’ll be able to give that little luck more. Del Neri playing conception is right for my forward characteristics, that’s why I know I can do good»
