The minute Juventus came calling, I knew it was the right choice for me. They have the same winning mentality as me.
I've always believed that when you play for Juve, the goal at the start of the year is to win the title and a lot of trophies.
I'm a Juventus fan, although I did support Chelsea for some time - mainly because of Gianfranco Zola. Zola is from the same town as my father Enzo, in Sardinia.
My two years at Juve were fantastic. I was just a lad when I arrived, and I was a real footballer when I left.
At Juve I was a great professional, in Madrid we went out every night.
When I arrived at Juventus as the manager in 1999, Antonio Conte was the captain of the club, an Italy international, and a player who had a lot of influence in the dressing room - and when I needed a leader in the team, he was the obvious choice.
I remember my first Champions League final in 1996: Juventus-Ajax. That's the clearest memory from my childhood.
I have always said that for me it would be an honour to continue at Juventus and to end my career here, because it's a shirt you are proud to wear.
I have felt like a 'juventino' since I set foot here. Here, you have 12 million supporters; everyone else has their team and then roots against us.
