Khedira: ‘Can’t wait to play with CR7’

By Football Italia staff

Juventus midfielder Sami Khedira “can’t wait” for the season to start “and it’s also fantastic to be able to play with Cristiano Ronaldo again”.

The Bianconeri kick-off the new season at Chievo on Saturday evening, and the German shared his excitement on his Instagram profile.

“We start again on Saturday in Verona!” Khedira wrote.

“I can’t wait to start the new season, and it’s also fantastic to be able to play with Ronaldo again after the time we shared together at Real Madrid.

“Despite the excitement for the new season though, this was one of the most difficult summers of my career.

“After a good season at Juventus in which I scored nine goals, I played my two worst games at the World Cup and it was awful.

“We did not work as a team and we were rightly eliminated and that still weighs on me. The criticism of me and us is totally justified.”

Khedira went on to say he would accept not being called-up for his country again, but will always respond to the “honour and obligation” of representing Germany.
