Denis Zakaria reveals his father supported Juventus and says Patrick Vieira is one of his role models.
The 25-year-old has moved to the Allianz Stadium on a permanent €4.5m from Borussia Monchengladbach.
“I chose Juve because it is one of the clubs that has always made me dream. I decided that it would be the right way to continue my career,” the Swiss international said at his unveiling press conference.
“I expected to leave Borussia but not soo son. Juventus don’t call every day, it’s a dream for me and I hope I can help.
“I am proud to be here, Juventus were the favourite team of my father, so I know a lot about this club. I’ll try to give my all, trying to help my teammates as much as I can.
“The level is very high, the atmosphere is good,” he continued.
“I feel well and I’ve already trained twice. If the coach needs I can play already. He [Allegri] has told me what he expects from me, but we haven’t discussed the details.”
Does Zakaria have a role model?
“If I think about someone, I would say Patrick Vieira, I’ve always liked him. However, I am Zakaria and I try to have my style without following an exact model.
“I am an aggressive midfielder, I like to help the team recover the ball, but I also like to attack. I can describe myself as a complete player.
“I am not going to stop here, I am a fighter and I always want to improve. It’s an important step for me, but I always want to become stronger. I have a chance to make it here, this is a step forward, not the last one.”
Excellent transfer by former Serie B champions.
And only the statue of limitations prevented inter from being in B
@guy who comments only to bash Juve cause his wife took the kids
Let’s hope Juve can get back to the quarterfinals in Champions League it’s been 3 years and it feels like forever. Well, it could be worse – some teams take decades to get that far – just ask Interisti they can tell you all about it !!!!
Zakaria and Vlahovic are excellent acquisitions. Keeping Dybala and De Ligt and buying a pacy winger/right back is paramount.
TRIPLETE < non vincete mai
Inter are the only Italian club to have won the TREBLE.
