Mauro Camoranesi: Juventus Side Of 2006 Is The Best Team I’ve Ever Been Part of

Former Italy international Mauro Camoranesi has revealed that Juventus’ class of 2006 represents the finest team he has ever been involved with, and added that it is very rare to see such a collection of good players all in the same squad.

“The Juventus side of 2006 is the best I’ve ever been part of, when we had 10 of the world’s top 30 players. Something like that only comes around every 20 years, because it’s very difficult to find such a good generation of players who are all in the same team,” Camoranesi stated to FIFA.com.

“Of the 15 first-choice players we had, 11 were the captains of their national teams. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to enjoy success on the European stage.”

Camoranesi also explained his decision to leave Juventus for Stuttgart in the summer of 2010 and said that he needed a new challenge.

“Last year I chose to go to Germany instead because I wanted to stay in European football. I was excited about the possibility of playing for a team like Stuttgart.

“After so many years in Italy I wanted a change of scenery and to tackle a new challenge. I wasn’t there long but I was very enthusiastic about the chance to go there.”

The midfielder agreed to a mutual termination of his Stuttgart contract in February, and is now plying his trade at Argentine outfit Lanus.
