Juventus is a huge club. I followed the team since I was young.
After spending eight years in Manchester, I received a very warm welcome to Turin. The people are very easy-going, in contrast to other parts of Italy such as Rome or Naples, where passions run much higher.
Turin is a city which entices a writer towards vigor, linearity, style. It encourages logic, and through logic it opens the way towards madness.
Juventus is a great club.
I'm absolutely loving Turin's old, historical-city vibe, with the narrow, cobbled streets.
In Turin, I can walk through the streets of the city without any problems.
Juventus is an historic club that only fights to win.
Juventus will never be like Real Madrid or Barcelona because its history and playing style speak for itself.
I came to Turin above all for my family, because at Manchester, they had inserted a clause in our agreement which changed the situation considerably. It really annoyed me.
Juventus is an historical club, and many great players have played there.
Juventus has been the most important team in my career. I have done eight beautiful years there. I have won a lot there.
I'd like to finish my career in Turin.
Venice was always one step removed from what was going on. If you were in Turin or in Milan or one of the industrial centers, you would have had a much more active political constituency. Venice essentially lived for itself.
It would actually be a dream way to end my time in Turin, by winning the Champions League.
I'd say Juventus has a story as legendary as the Yankees.
Juventus have been everything to me over the years. I grew up a lot here and the club always supported me.
Juve is my home.
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.
