Recently, Juventus player Esteban Cambiaso was interviewed by La Gazzetta dello Sport. He denied rumors of a move to Real Madrid, expressed gratitude towards Massimiliano Allegri, and stated that Thiago Motta has more foresight than his predecessor.
About His Growth Journey
Gatti and I are survivors, making our way from amateur leagues into Juventus. Every day when I wake up, I feel incredibly fortunate, and I am eager for success. Looking back on my journey, I want to keep running. When you’re a kid, football puts you in the spotlight, and you don’t have room for mistakes. It makes you grow fast. I joined Genoa’s youth academy at age 9 and left at 17. I worked my way up from Serie D to Serie A. Reflecting on it now, it all seems so crazy.
About Juventus
Juventus is the history of Italian football, my second home, and the perfect starting point in my career. There are reports linking me closely with Real Madrid. I am proud of this, as it means I am appreciated. However, I haven’t received any offers. Regardless, Juventus is my Real Madrid. I have extended my contract until 2029, and I want to stay here as long as possible.
About the Scudetto Race
We are now among the top contenders. Inter Milan is the favorite, and we will have a direct confrontation in two weeks. But before that, there are two big mountains to climb—Stuttgart and Lazio. Napoli’s strength is astonishing. The match against Roma will be complex.
About Teammates and Motta
From a tactical perspective, he always asks me to see things I couldn’t see when I was at Bologna. He has his own way of managing the team and only tells us who will play a few hours before the game, which brings higher intensity training and more intense competition. He is very forward-thinking.
About Allegri
I genuinely like Allegri; he helps us find a mental balance. Last season, when I was full of passion and wanted to conquer the world, he repeatedly told me to calm down.
About Idols
During that period, my idol was Cancelo. Now, it’s Zinchenko, Rico Lewis, and Caraffio.
