MILAN - Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri ruled out an approach for Werder Bremen's Diego yesterday, saying he "would have to change the team" to accommodate him.

The Brazilian attacking midfielder has often been linked with a move to the Turin club, but Ranieri said he will keep favouring a formation with two defensive players in the centre of midfield.

"Diego is an excellent player and sometimes we have used an attacking midfielder," Ranieri told Corriere dello Sport. - Sapa-AP
