Juventus, Mandzukic: “I came here because it is the strongest team” – The Republic

Turin – A few words, no proclaims: Mario Mandzukic choose the low profile on the day of its official presentation to the world Juventus. Dribble the questions as if they were the defenders. Not promises gusts goal: “More or less than 15? I would not guarantee anything. And I do not ask how many tattoos is a matter irrelevant and staff.” Unbuttons only when he talks of the Champions League: “Last year Juventus did a great job: no one expected to see her in the final. The match against Barcelona was balanced: both teams have had the opportunity to win Cup. Juve has not been very lucky but he laid the foundation to share and win the next Champions League. ” Mandzukic has swept the challenge ‘dell’applausometro’ against Dybala and Khediraha: after the presentation press conference was literally overwhelmed by the affection of hundreds of white fans met at the Megastore Juventus.

The former striker of Atletico Madrid 19 million plus 2 bonus features, proves to be familiar with the current Juventus, promoting (God forbid …) the revolution plan implemented by Juventus: “How will the Juve without Pirlo, Vidal and probably Tevez? I extraordinary players: any team feel their absence. But in football there is who comes and who goes there: Juventus is thinking about the future, by inserting fresh forces. I hope that we will remain strong as last year. ” About junctions market, his former partner Götze (Bayern in 2013-14) could make the journey in reverse Vidal, moving from Monaco in Turin: “Mario can play in any team. If I asked him to come to Juve? No, I called him – continues Mandzukic -. Anyway, lately I have not followed much the media … “

No doubt about Juve:” Why am I here? Why this is a great team. And ‘was an easy choice: here are good players. For years, moreover, I have great sympathy for Juve. ” The 29 year-old Mandzukic rewinds the tape of his games against Juventus and Italy: “It ‘s always difficult to play against Juventus, but now will not have to fight against one of the strongest defenses I’ve ever faced. I Buffon and there We are always greeted with great sympathy. And the last time I crossed in Split I told him that is one of my idols. “

With Mandzukic, Juve find a striker in the area Trezeguet. By the way, Mario chose the 17 jersey, the same he wore King David: “It ‘s my number in National as well as what I had early career in the second division of Croatia.” Unlike Khedira, the attacker does not speak of Slavonski Brod (yet?) Italian. But he has already learned how to put the ‘we’ instead of ” I ‘, as is fashionable in Vinovo: “What kind of player are? Juve are a family, do not want to talk too much about me – concludes Mandzukic -. How much International experience can I bring? I can only say that I will give my best and that I will always be at the service of the team. ” Moreover, the generosity he never missed: see to believe, like chasing opponents.
