Juventus, Cancelo: "Thanks to Inter I play with the best in the world"

This weekend brings Inter-Juventus, which is one of the most exciting games on the calendar. The Derby d'Italia, as it's called, does not mean much for the table (at least for Juventus it doesn't), but it always has enticing storylines. This year, Joao Cancelo is returning to face Inter after spending six months of last season with the nerazzurri. The Portuguese right-back had this to say to DAZN ahead of the match: "When I arrived in Italy it wasn't easy. In Spain they focus more on technique, in Italy they prefer tactics. Spalletti helped me a lot, he taught me new concepts. Those six months at Inter were important because they allowed me to arrive at Juventus, the best team in Italy with one of the best managers in the world."

Therefore, only positive remarks for his current coach, Allegri: "I can only say good things about Allegri, he wont a lot here and with Milan. If I am what I've become, I give a lot to him." Cancelo always had respect for a fellow right-back and former Juventus player, Dani Alves: "He wrote the history of football, he will become a legend when he retires." He also studies fellow Portuguese and Juventus teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo: "He always puts in work, talent and dedication and for this reason he is one of the best of all time. If he has won five Ballon d'Or trophies it's for all of the effort he puts in. He is an incredible athlete and professional, the younger players must learn from him."

30 appearances for Juve this season, compiling one goal and eight assists: "This season I learned a lot. I improved even because I trained with the best in the world. Ronaldo, Douglas Costa, Dybala, Alex Sandro, Bonucci, Chiellini... great men and great professionals. I want to become one of the strongest. The first to make an impact? Pjanic, because he knew what to do before the ball even arrived."
