Ahead of Juventus-Inter, Bianconeri attacker Federico Bernardeschi spoke on the sidelines of a Randstad event at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. In a meeting moderated by sports journalist Giorgio Porrà, the Italian touched on numerous topics about the team, tactics, and personal matters.
Motivations: "To play at your maximum, your head is essential. It must be cultivated. At Juve, it is true that we are asked for the maximum, but you are given everything to be able to pull it off: I'm really happy here, I hope I can give back what I've been given."
Childhood and talent: "As a child I was lively, I smashed everything... For children it is essential to have fun and in football the young must be able to express their talent. Us professionals have to send positive messages to this effect, to allow them to grow better".
The disappearance of Davide Astori: "It's something personal, everyone elaborates mourning in their own way. I was lucky enough to know him and to exchange emotions with him. Faith? It can not completely eliminate the pain, that stays inside of you. He was an important person for me, a friend. Those pats on the head... He gave me so much to make sure I could get better".
Allegri, his position, and Cristiano Ronaldo:
"Our coach is fundamental to the group. He knows the dynamics of football, he is right when he says that we go on the field and it all depends on us. It takes humility to say such a thing.
I'm a tuttocampista (player capable of playing anywhere on the pitch)?: "It takes physicality and speed, I try to grow every day in the field. There, we are pleased to closely observe the strongest player in the world that engages us every day: Cristiano is an example for us".
