The Italian Under-21 international made his first start for the Bianconeri in yesterday’s Coppa Italia win over Torino, and praised his more experienced teammates.
“I feel very fortunate to be surrounded by top pros on a daily basis and to be able to watch and learn from everything they do,” Rugani told JTV.
“They give me tips of both a technical and tactical nature, while they’ve also helped me on a psychological level to enter the field in the best mental state possible.
“I think that I’ve improved certain areas of my game since joining Juventus. I’m lucky to be training with very talented players across the whole squad.
“The Coach [Max Allegri] and staff are helping me develop in the best possible way.”
Rugani also discussed his long-await first start for the club, having previously been limited to a Champions League cameo appearance.
“We played very well yesterday and we had the right approach to the match. It was important to show just how hungry and determined we are to win every game we’re involved in.
“It was a great feeling to line up from the very start. My team-mates and the Coach helped me handle the situation well and so I’m grateful to them all.
“It was a derby, so by no means an easy encounter, but I’m happy with how it went.”
