The former Porto man also discussed life with the Bianconeri, having joined from Porto in the summer.
“Juventus are a great club, and I’m delighted that they believed in me. I also like living in Turin, where I’ve been welcomed with open arms.
“What immediately struck me was the winning mentality. It’s like you get a chip put in your head when you come here, you know right away that you have to win.
“There’s great communication at Juve and a close-knit environment. From my teammates to the Coach and his staff, everyone has helped me blend in quickly.
“There’s a lot of talk and constant dialogue, which is essential to grow. We’re a different team today than we were six months ago, we know each other better on and off the pitch.
“I feel like I’m growing every day, not just as player, but as a man.”
Finally, the Brazilian discussed two of his young teammates, Paulo Dybala and Paul Pogba.
“Dybala and Pogba are two champions,” Sandro said.
“They’d fit into any team in the world and they can definitely compete for the Ballon d’Or.
“I’m always rooting for [compatriot] Neymar, and I’m happy he’s doing so well at Barcelona. Many people said he’d flop in Europe, but he’s proving he’s an exceptional player.
“One day Dybala and Pogba could compete [with him] for the Ballon d’Or.”
