Alvaro Morata discussed how he is settling down at Juventus in a Twitter Q&A, warning he is only “80 per cent fit.”
The striker arrived in a complex two-year deal from Real Madrid with both clubs holding particular buy-back clauses.
He was injured in his first training session, but has made several substitute appearances and is waiting for his first goal.
“It’s a fantastic feeling to play for Juventus. I love it!” he wrote on the official Juventus Twitter feed.
“Serie A is very difficult and competitive. There are many strong teams who can fight for the Scudetto. Before coming here I knew Juve were the biggest team in Italy and one of Europe’s finest. Now I’ve seen it with my own eyes!
“The Juventus Stadium is a wonderful and modern arena with a fiery atmosphere. I’m not yet 100 per cent fit, probably around 80, but hope to get back to peak fitness as soon as possible.
“Here we focus on running and tactics. In Spain there’s more technique involved in training. Allegri is a fine Coach and likes to stay close to the players. He always makes his voice heard and his sessions are intense.”
Morata said the player from Juventus history who he liked the most was Zlatan Ibrahimovic. “His technique and power impress me.
“Many have said I resemble Morientes and it’s a great honour for me, he was a real world class player and winner. My boyhood idol was Raul.
“I do not have any goal targets this season. My main aim is to win as much as possible, that’s what counts.”
Morata also sang the Juventus club anthem, revealed Fernando Llorente drives him to training and is a “decent, cautious driver,” while the funniest team-mate is Kwadwo Asamoah.
“He makes us laugh with his impressions in the dressing room!”
