“My choice was always Juve”
“Whether in Serie A or Serie B, my choice was always Juventus”. The Croatian centre half this afternoon expressed how happy is to be playing in bianconeri colours again this season: “There were offers from other clubs but I sat down and spoke to Alessio Secco and in the end it was an easy decision to make. I’m very happy in Turin, as are my family. I had a great year last year and I now feel part of the Juventus family”.
Kovac then looked forward to a possible year in Serie B: “I think Serie B will be more difficult than A. As with any Serie B in the world, it will be more aggressive and physical but we will be more than equal to the task, we have to be. We’ll give our all to get back in A next year, and when we get there, we’ll do it all over again”. And last season’s scudetto? “I was there last year and we won the title fair and square on the pitch. There’s no evidence of any wrong doing so as far as we’re concerned, we are still the champions”. Having returned to training two weeks ago after playing in this summer’s World Cup, the Croatian international is up for the challenge ahead: “Of course I’m motivated, if I wasn’t I wouldn’t be here. I learned a lot last year about how the game is played in this country and now I have a first team place, I’m ready to put all that into practice”. And his first impressions of new coach Didier Deschamps? “Fantastic, I’m really enjoying working with him. Everyday there’s something new to do in training, a new kind of experience. I’m very happy”.
