Llorente on scoring v Juve "For a moment I was happy since my start as Sevilla wasn't easy but then I felt sorry for scoring against Juve."
Llorente on Sevilla-Juve "After the match I was in the Juve lockers, where they made jokes about me! It was a blow for them to finish 2nd."
Q: Juve now faces Bayern..
Llorente "Juve are capable of beating them over 2 games. I am confident."
Q: again, you speak as a Juventino...
Llorente "At heart I will remain a Juventino for life."
Q: impossible to see you at Inter?
Llorente "When I think about it, in Italy I can only see myself in a Juve shirt."
Llorente "Then in football you know how it goes, you can never really say never."
Llorente "I was sad to leave Juve, I was very happy in Turin. If it was up to me I would've stayed. Clubs like Juve are few in the world."
Q: surprised that Juve fans still attached to you?
Llorente "What pride & affection from the Juve people. I was moved after Sevilla-Juve."
Q:inferior to Mandzukic?
Llorente "Inferior, no/ However we speak of a ST who has done a lot. It's not for me to judge who's better/worse."
Q: Llorente also missing Morata?
Llorente "Definitely, I'd prefer to be there with him: we get along very well together."
Llorente "Having a Spanish teammate is an advantage. We still speak often. I am in good contact with Licht, Chiellini, Pogba, Marchisio.."
Llorente on Morata "Alvaro is playing less & it's strange, it's certainly not a good time for him because not scoring for a ST is tough."
Llorente on Morata "However, rest assured, the goals will come. He just needs to play a bit more & some luck. I hope he reaches 15 goals."
Q: In the future, Morata in Turin or Madrid?
Llorente "It's a personal decision, it'll depend on the next few months."
Llorente "If he returns to Madrid, he'll move on. Of course Alvaro is good in Turin & at Juventus."
Llorente on Juve's comeback "Crazy. I know my former teammates well, they are strong & now that they've found continuity they won't stop."
Llorente "I think Juve will win the scudetto & when it happens I will celebrate well, either by coming to Turin or even from Sevilla."
Q: What have you found back in Sevilla?
Llorente "It's like returning back to your home, but my heart remains in Turin."
Llorente on Turin "I miss the past, ice-cream, my friends & it was well for my wife too who had made many friends at the hospital."
Llorente "Conte I will never forget: he wanted me, protected me at the start & then launched me. Conte is the best coach I had."

So much love for this guy 
He's a great post player, just a bit too slow for our play style though. Mandzukic isn't a much better footballer, but he's quicker and runs his ass off.
