“I would give up all the pleasures in my life to win the Champions League,” he told the Juventus Channel.
“I’d sacrifice so many things, even the games of golf with Alessandro Del Piero and Mauro Camoranesi – everything except my wife and children.
“And if we won it I would even go to Tokyo for the Club World Cup.”
He continued: “I think we are in a better position than last year because we have had an excellent transfer campaign and some quality players have arrived.
“But the real talismanic figures like Del Piero and Gigi Buffon are also still here. They are players that have given so much for this shirt.
“After everything that happened regarding the Calciopoli scandal we are stronger inside and we will be very tough to beat.”
