Juventus-Barcelona, Champions League time is coming for the bianconeri. Between the protagonists could be Gerard Deulofeu that shouldn't start the game though. The former rossonero has given an exclusive interview to Extratime: "Milan? It's been a really positive experience for me. I've been happy. They have welcomed me in an exceptional way, everyone from the coach to the staff, my teammates; I needed this warmth. I've played a lot and been happy on the pitch. It's been amazing 45 months, it was a long time since I didn't enjoy playing and I started to feel good on and off the pitch again at Milan. This club gave me everything. I left England because I wasn't alright there. With the playing time I've had, I have been able to get back in the national team that I couldn't think about when I was at Everton, and after that Barcelona brought me back. I need to take advantage of it now".
"Liga? It's something else. Pitches in Italy are drier and the ball goes through less quicker, I also think there are better players here. In Italy they make up for it with a great organization and though defenses in my opinion. Teams like Juventus, Napoli, Roma or Milan also have talents but you can't compare them to Barcelona, Real or Atletico. In the last 45 seasons Liga has dominated in Europe, winning almost everything".
Models? They play with him: "Busquets and Iniesta, I admire their tranquility in though situations, every game, every minute. They never lose their cool even if they play every high level game perfectly, that's the player I want to become".
About Juventus: "We're in a though group, we drew against Olympiacos so everyone can do well. Think about Qarabag and Atlético... We're good though, we need another point to get qualified even if we're going to Turin to win, like always. I have great memories against Juventus, they've been one of my first opponents in Italy. I didn't unpack my luggage that I was already playing against them in Coppa Italia. 10 minutes that were positive for the journalists, despite the close loss. I've also played against them in Serie A but we lost again. Juve are really strong, solid and organized with a coach that knows what he's doing".
