Medical visits yesterday morning and immediately to work
the background
TORINO
He had left his last business card last June 1st, mistreating Italy in the Wembley Final dominated by his Argentina, but he didn’t need it. Di Maria has always rhymed with Di Magia and also for this reason Juve hired him, after a long courtship and accepting the request for a rich 7 million euro annual contract (including bonuses) with 1.3 million commissions for people.
Massimiliano Allegri was looking for goals, assists, quality and experience for his team and the 34-year-old Argentine striker is the right profile to launch an offensive 4-3-3 in support of Vlahovic, who was crossed yesterday during his visits to J Medical, as well as being a champion used to making a difference.
«I’m here to win trophies – said Angel Di Maria – and playing for Juve gives me the opportunity to do so. I’ve been in the best teams in every country, here in Italy the best team is Juventus: I know they didn’t win the Italian Cup and the Scudetto, the main motivation was to come here and win everything with Juve ».
In his career he has conquered everything that could be achieved between club and national team: he only missed the World Cup which he will now try to chase in November in Qatar, in his fourth and last World Cup, and the adventure in Juventus will help him present himself in the best way.
«It is a new stage and I am very happy – Di Maria smiles after signing -: I immediately felt at home, as in a family where they take care of you». El Fideo yesterday enjoyed the crowd bath at J Medical, also welcomed by an Argentine flag, and starting tomorrow the retreat at Continassa with the new teammates. He chose the number 22, because the beloved 11 is on Cuadrado’s shoulders, but the choice is significant.
«The 22 shirt reminded me of the Champions League won with Real Madrid and I know Juventus want to win it – he says -. What do I promise the fans? The commitment, the sacrifice and the mentality of winning as many trophies as possible: I will always give my best ». –
