Diego talks Juventus and Brazil

Juventus playmaker, Diego, talks about his time at the club and also his chances of playing for Brazil at the 2010 World Cup.

Diego joined the Turin giants from Werder Bremen in the summer and was heavily touted to become one of Serie A's biggest stars.

Despite thrilling the Juve fans with his exciting brand of football, Diego has only shown glimpses of his fabulous talent in his short time at the club.

Speaking to FIFA.com, the playmaker said:"I've been really enjoying myself so far. I was given a fantastic reception and I'm loving day-to-day life at Juve,

"It's a huge club and I'm really happy. Of course, given the type of club we are, there's still room for improvement. A team like this should be winning every week and we're always aiming for top spot."

As to whether he thinks Juve have a chance to wrestle the league title away from leaders, Inter Milan, Diego was optimistic.

He said:"It's not mission impossible. You just have to compare the quality of the players we've got in our squad.

"They've got a lot of quality in their team, but I see just as much at Juventus. Of course we're facing an uphill battle, given that they rarely drop points in the league. And even though he's just starting his coaching career, we've got a great boss in Ciro Ferrara who knows Italian football inside out. So I think we're perfectly capable of fighting for the title."

Finally, he reckons Brazil national team coach, Dunga, knows what he can offer to the team.

"Dunga knows what my qualities are, he knows what I can do. Of course everything I do at Juventus might have a greater weight than what I've done in the past, but I'm sure he knows what I've got to offer," he concluded.
