http://www.fcbarcelona.com/eng/noticias/noticias/n06072301.shtml Zambrotta: "There is a lot of quality and quantity in this Barca team" Barca has been strengthened by the arrival of World Cup winner Gianluca Zambrotta. The Italian spoke to fcbarcelona.com and highlighted the strong potential of the squad going into the 2006-07 season. Gianluca Zambrotta is enjoying his first few days as a Barcelona player. At the moment, he is relaxing on a seaside holiday, from where he chatted to www.fcbarcelona.com. The Italian full back is thrilled to have joined such a big club and has said he is leaving Italy "while being grateful to Juventus and all their fans. It will be a pleasure to share a dressing room with men like Ronaldinho, Puyol, Deco, Eto'o and Messi". He believes that the arrivals of Thuram and Gudjohnsen help "Barca to have a lot of quality and quantity." How do you feel now that you are officially a Barca player? "I am very happy to become an FC Barcelona player. I have come to a big club that can achieve incredible things. Now a new adventure starts and I am looking forward to it." Why did you choose Barca? "Barca is one of the strongest teams in the world and that is why I chose to come. Apart from the city, the people, the players, the manager, everything together led to me to take this step." Have you spoken to Frank Rijkaard? "We spoke on the phone and he congratulated me on winning the World Cup. Then he rang me just before I signed for Barcelona. And he is well aware of all the good work I have done over the last few years." Have you been following Barca over the last few seasons? "Barca have played the most spectacular football in the world in recent years. It is a pleasure to form part of a group including such stars as Ronaldinho, Deco, Messi, Eto'o, Puyol and all the others." What do you think your role will be in the new Barca? "I don't know yet. At Juve I have played left back in recent years, but I have played more on the right for Italy. Now it is up to the boss to decide where I play, but I won't be causing any problems." As well as yourself and Thuram, Eidur Gudjohnsen has also arrived. "He is a great player, too, and that means the squad has quality and quantity. Lets hope that with these new signings we can contribute to Barcelona winning even more." You know the Camp Nou because you played there in the quarter finals of the Champions League. "Yes, I remember. It is one of the most beautiful stadiums around and it will be exciting to play there." And you are swapping the cold of Turin for the Mediterranean climate of Barcelona. "I felt great in Turin and spent seven great years there. I am sure I will miss some things about it, because I matured as a person there and won my first titles. But I have decided that the time has come to turn the page and join a great team and move to a city by the sea. I hope it all goes well." This will be your first experience of a foreign league. "That's right. But I have always followed the Spanish league and I think it is one of the nicest tournaments around. The outlook is good, but lets see how it all works out." It has been an emotional month for you. First what happened to Juve, the problems with your friend Pessotto, the World Cup win and then signing for Barca. You need a rest after all that. "The holidays will do me good after such a difficult season. I had big problems with what happened to Juve and then there was the happiness of winning the World Cup. Now it's time to relax before starting a new adventure with Barca." -- BARCA BITE Thuram, a big star Zambrotta will be teaming up once again with Lilian Thuram. Both played against each other in the World Cup Final and have also been team mates for some time at Juve. The Italian believes the Frenchman's arrival is a bonus for FC Barcelona: "I have known him for five years" he said. "He is a great player, a star, and also a lovely person. I am sure that for the first few days, as we both speak Italian, we will be good for each other. Barcelona have made a great signing." -- http://www.elmundodeportivo.es/20060620/NOTICIA222657541.html "?EL MADRID?
