Bernardeschi: 'I’d take Fiorentina penalty’
By Football Italia staff


Juventus forward Federico Bernardeschi would take a penalty against Fiorentina - “I’m part of another team now”.

Roberto Baggio famously refused to take a spot kick after making the controversial move from Florence to Turin, but the Bianconeri number 33 would have no such problems.

“My season didn’t begin with my goal in Bergamo, but on my first day at Juve,” Bernardeschi told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I’m proud of what I’ve done so far, because I’ve come to a team that’s won a lot in recent years and is one of the biggest in Europe.

“A professional has to make his choices, and I wanted to change. I wish only good things for the Viola, to whom I’ll always be grateful, but now I’m proud to be a part of Juve.

“That means if I get a penalty against Fiorentina, I’ll take it, because I’m part of another team now.”

Federico Bernardeschi:’I haven’t played much, because I need to prove that I am worthy of Juventus’

Juventus player Federico Bernardeschi spoke toCorriere della Seraabout adapting to the life in the new team and what he thinks about the peoplewho insult him on socialmedia.

“I haven’t played much thus far, but I am not worried. It’s like that at Juve, there is an apprenticeship to go through. When you arrive at a squad that won six Serie A titles in a row and played two Champions League finals in three years, that’s only normal. It’s not a drama to be on the bench, I accepted it with calm and humility. I am not afraid of losing my place at the World Cup, as I knowthat Ventura admires me. If I am able to ensure I am ready when called upon, then there won’t be problems. Juve are Juve, it’s not easy to immediately get into sync with the team that is always hungry for victory. That is their mentality. I realised that if you don’t give 100 per cent, you get overtaken by your teammates. The first step is to prove I am worthy of Juve. I am working to become a firm fixture in the team and the coach is helping me, our rapport is excellent. What’s happening to me also happened to Dybala when he started at Juventus. I am not the first, nor will I be the last. It takes sacrifice, hunger and quality.”

“My choice is a professional one. I am and always will be grateful to Fiorentina and it is also thanks to them that I am here. I repeat: I am proud to be part of Juventus. I cannot deal with keyboard warriors, who spend all their time just insulting people. My sister, who just became a mother, received a message saying they hoped her baby died before it was born. Fortunately, I have solid foundations to rely on. Others are fragile, they suffer under this pressure and some even commit suicide.”
