Alex Sandro left Juventus last summer and returned to Brazil, to Flamengo. During an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, he spoke about the current season for the bianconeri.
Juventus this season:
Everything has changed a little: the players, the managers, the coach. It's a young Juve, like I've never seen in nine years. It is different from those of Allegri, Sarri and Pirlo. He tries to offer a better game, but Allegri has shown that at Juve results count. As a supporter, I hope that Thiago Motta manages to combine good play and triumphs. He was a great midfielder who loved to handle the ball. On the bench, he is the same, his teams want to control the game.
What is he missing in Italy?
” All ! I returned to Brazil, but I left my heart at Juve and Turin. Nine wonderful years: when I arrived in 2015, I didn't think I would make the club's history. It's an honor to be the foreigner who has played the most matches at Juve, along with Nedved. »
The fight for the Scudetto:
“It will be a three-way challenge with Inter and Napoli. I trust Juve and hope they can triumph. »
A player who surprises him?
“Weah. Timothy is incredible, he was probably right: last year he said he felt more like a striker. Cambiaso and Yildiz confirm themselves at the top. »
Kenan Yildiz number 10:
“My 10 was Dybala and I’m happy it’s now Kenan. Yildiz could play in Brazil and no one would notice: he has the shots and technique of the Seleçao. »
Brazilians at Juventus:
« Danilo is a brother and I'm sad not to see him on the pitch all the time: I don't say it only as a friend, but because I know his qualities. As a Danilo fan, I'm sorry. But as a Juve fan, I respect Motta's choices and Dani does the same. If he can leave in January? At Juve or elsewhere, all that matters to me is that Danilo is happy. He is certain that he will give his all until the end. Douglas Luiz? He is strong, but his football is not yet that of Juve. It's not easy to integrate. I've seen even champions like Khedira and Pjanic struggle at the start. You have to be patient with him. »
Who will score against Milan? in the absence of Dusan Vlahovic:
“Cambiaso. Maybe he will score: he advances to the left, he comes back to the right, he scores a goal and we win…”.
