Medhi Benatia enjoyed Juventus' tour of the Far East.
Benatia is now looking forward to meeting the likes of Gigi Buffon and Gonzalo Higuain.
“We worked hard and played well, which was the objective of this trip," Benatia said after victory over South China.
“Everyone played and there were no injuries, so that's important. We have a good, young group, we've all shown the boss [Max Allegri] that we're happy to be together and want to do well.
“First I have to defend my goal as I've always done, then I've always scored too. I like to score and you always have to believe.
“On a personal level I'm physically fine and I'm sure I can really help the team. These goals don't count for much though, I'm waiting for the big games and I can't wait to get started.
“I'm happy to be going back to Italy, I'm happy here and Juve is a family. I can't wait to play with the champions who are waiting for us in Italy."
