TURIN (ITALPRESS) – “I feel very good here, I have been well received by teammates and staff. The feelings are positive, I want to give continuity.” So said Francisco Conceicao, Juventus’ new offensive wildcard, during his presentation press conference at Allianz Stadium. The Portuguese class of 2002 arrived at the Bianconeri on an onerous loan for seven million euros, plus three million in bonuses from Porto. The player has already made his training debut under Thiago Motta in the match against Roma, before having to finish in the pits due to “an injury to the right leg’s peroneal muscles” suffered during a training session. “When a club like Juventus calls you, it’s normal to want to come immediately. I’m sure I made the right decision.” He shares the national team with Ronaldo, but also this adventure in Italy in the Juventus shirt: “I have not spoken with Cristiano about my arrival here in Turin. For me he is a reference point, I see myself in him, in what is his desire to always improve.” Quick, fast and skilled in 1vs1 these are the best qualities of Conceicao, who with Thiago Motta is convinced he can improve further: “I am convinced. With Roma I felt the support of the fans, he represents one of the strengths of the team.” Francisco is the son of former Inter Sergio Conceicao: “He played here in Italy a long time ago. He always told me that it is a very competitive league among the best in the world. Definitely the comparisons with my father are there, but I don’t listen to these things. I’m very proud of what my dad did, but I don’t really care about the comparisons. I want to make my own path.” The Portuguese is currently unavailable, but he wants to return quickly: “I’m working day by day to recover faster. I am calm because it is nothing serious, the recovery program is going well.” Conceicao then talked about his position on the field: “It depends on the coach I am ready to help in any position, although on the right side I clearly feel more comfortable.” In his career the 21enna played, in addition to his homeland in Holland, at Ajax: “Differences? Each league has its own characteristics, the Dutch one is more open, with more chances, the Portuguese one more tactical, much more than you might think from the outside. Now I want to get to know the Italian one and adapt, I want to show my qualities and make the fans happy.” Finally, Conceicao had his say on the formula of his transfer to Turin: “These aspects of the transfer are about the clubs, I focus on my work day by day. I am here to be as successful as possible and I hope to continue this way, it is a great club and I hope to represent it for a long time.”- Image Photo -(ITALPRESS).
