He took the quarantine as an opportunity to improve his Italian while keeping himself in shape for the return. Matthijs De Ligt has fully immersed himself at Juventus, a club where's very comfortable as he told Tuttosport in a recent interview:"I'm very happy at Juventus. I realized that during the last period, without any games, someone made up some things about me. I'm truly happy here, to practice every day with extraordinary players, I have the constant feeling I'm improving every day. Yes I'm happy at Juventus"
When asked about his best teammates, De Ligt has clear ideas:"Obviously there is Ronaldo, but I won't name him, because everyone knows him and what he can do, so I will mention two others. Dybala truly has impressive technique and the other, which could be surprising, is Rodrigo Bentancur, who has surprising technical ability. I think he's very underrated, he's a great player with a great future ahead of him"
