Exclusive: Diego 'snubs’ Prem

Friday 20 November, 2009

Juventus ace Diego has revealed that he presently has no real desire to test himself in the English Premiership.

Despite being widely regarded as the best League in the world right now, the Brazilian claims it doesn’t appeal to him.

“Does the Premier League tempt you? No, not really,” he exclusively told Calcio Italia magazine.

In an in-depth interview with the football monthly, on sale today, the South American explains how desperate he was to join the Old Lady of Italian football.

“To play for Juventus was a childhood dream,” he noted. “I have admired the Bianconeri since I was a young boy, since before I started my professional career.

“Juve and I is a long history of love. We have had some conversations before but nothing concrete came off until this summer.”

The Turin giants completed his £22m transfer following months of courtship and after Bayern Munich made a late bid.

“Bayern Munich is a big club and they have good players,” he noted. “As with other teams, my manager discussed the possibilities but they did not come to anything.”

Now in Turin, the former Werder Bremen ace is hungry for honours at home and abroad.

“I want to win as much as is possible,” he added. “I came here to win things and I hope I can help the Old Lady to put some more trophies in the cabinet.

“I am convinced that here is where I will play most of my football.”

Trez' interviews are interesting because he's always playing the victim and bitching on someone :D

Buffon is diplomatic yet interesting as well.

Chiellini is always praising his teammates and coaches.

Giovinco just bites his tongue and says how happy he is to be on the bench (except that one time he lamented that being Italian is a disadvamtage for youths).
