The former Juventus player returns to greet his fans after the stormy farewell almost a year ago and removes a few pebbles from his shoe

Almost exactly one year after his forced farewell to Juventus, former captain Danilo today had the opportunity to greet the fans at the Allianz Stadium before the kick-off of the match against Lecce. Elegant, in a beige suit, the Brazilian did not fail to remove a few pebbles from his shoe for the stormy separation with the Juventus club, due to a relationship that never blossomed with Thiago Motta and the policy of rejuvenation and cost reduction carried out by the former director Giuntoli. “I have to thank Chiellini and the current managers, who have more clarity in resolving situations – Danilo’s jab at Dazn -: working at Juventus is not for everyone, even in football there are levels.”

For the rest, the thoughts of the Brazilian defender, fresh from winning the Copa Libertadores with Flamengo, were full of words of affection for the Juventus environment. “I’m nervous because I’ve experienced so many emotions here, but I’m very pleased to be here with my people. Juve for me is where I learned to really play football for the fans and that pushes you a lot – he added -. One has to work every day and think about doing better and improving and in the end it all comes down to it: fortunately I’ve had an important career and I’m happy that people like Bremer, who has a brilliant future ahead of him, can look at me and learn something.” Acclaimed by the fans under the curve, Danilo closed with an opening about his possible future return. “Me back to Juve? They ask me every day: I wouldn’t even think about it for a second – he winked -. I still have a year left on my contract at Flamengo, but then I could finish with football: Juventus is definitely my home”. Then, Danilo, flanked by Giorgio Chiellini and the Ferrero president, took the microphone and greeted the Allianz audience: “It’s nice to have the opportunity to meet you again after a busy year, I wanted to come back to say thank you in person because you have always supported me. I’ve been gone a year, but no one can take this shirt away from my heart”, his words.
