Juventus midfielder Sergio Almiron has denied reports of a rift with teammate Pavel Nedved.
The Argentine went on: "Am I the new Juan Sebastian Veron? I have never thought that, but lots of people say that to me so maybe there is some truth in it. To be compared to him alone is a huge compliment.
"Playing for Juventus is a big deal, but I believe in my abilities. Ranieri's faith in me has helped me to relax and I hope I won't disappoint."
