Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini says the club's summer signings have ensured the players will maintain their hunger for success.
Italy international Chiellini returned to preseason training on Tuesday as he prepared to work alongside new arrivals Gonzalo Higuain, Dani Alves, Miralem Pjanic, Marko Pjaca and Medhi Benatia.
"The club have certainly given us a big boost over the summer, revitalising a group that has already won almost everything there was to win and might have risked struggling to discover that energy again," he said on Juve's official website.
"In my opinion, this summer's transfers will serve not merely to add technical skill to the team, but also to stir excitement among the ranks.
"The chance to now play both with and against such talented players in training and in games can only help in terms of reaching that next level both individually and collectively."
Juve are odds-on to win a sixth straight Scudetto, even with Paul Pogba expected to leave, but Chiellini has nonetheless urged caution.
"This year we perhaps have to bear even more responsibility and pressure on our shoulders than in previous seasons," he said. "Given the quality of our summer signings, the fans might expect us to win matches 3-0 or 4-0, when we know only too well that it won't be quite so straightforward.
"The secret behind our successes over the years boils down to hard work on a daily basis, humility, passion, desire, sacrifice and the willingness to help one another. All of these characteristics have enabled us to celebrate great achievements in the past and will continue to be key in maintaining our winning habits this term.
"We can't afford to lose sight of the great moral qualities that have brought us so much joy in recent times."
