According to Juventus’ official announcement, Douglas Luiz attended his first press conference after joining the club and stated, “It’s a great club, many great players have played here, so the first impressions are really good.”
Choosing number 26
Choosing number 26 is not because of Davis, even though he is a legend. The decision has multiple reasons – 26 was vacant; I wore 6 at Villa but it is Danilo’s number and I respect him greatly; 26 is my age, representing my past and present, so considering all factors, this number is the right choice.
Brazilian teammates’ recommendations
Danilo and Bremer greatly helped during my negotiations with the club, every morning they would say “Forza Juve” in my ear, they introduced the club to me, told me I could make a difference here, this was advice from national team teammates, undoubtedly helped me make the decision.
Praising Juventus
It’s a great club, many great players have played here, so the first impressions are really good. The scale, the stadium, and the passionate fans have all impressed me, I am very proud to wear this jersey, this is an important season, we will fight together, give our all to achieve great results.
The greatness of this club speaks for itself, even in video games, I always choose Juventus. I admire players like Nedved and Davis, I loved watching them play when I was young, so I’m so happy to be here.
Any player in the world would love to play for this club, when I heard Juventus was interested in me, I didn’t hesitate, if I could tell my family I play for Juventus, it would be fantastic.
Relationship with the coach
It feels like I’ve known Coach Motta for a long time, we discuss tactics, all aspects of the game, we have a very close relationship. I don’t have a favourite position, I just want to be as close to the opponent’s goal as possible, but if I need to play deep, I have no problem with that.
The players are adapting to Motta’s work style, I’m satisfied with what I’ve seen so far, I believe this will be a great season.
Expectations for myself
Playing for Juventus is not easy, I feel a great responsibility, the club has also invested a lot, and that’s another reason I train hard every day. I want to be a role model for young players, and I know I’m 26 now, I can still improve. I come from the Premier League, many say it’s the toughest league in the world, but I want to achieve even greater success in Serie A, I know what I’m capable of, and I’m ready.
Goals
Winning the title is the result of a year’s effort, it’s a great team, and it’s a young team, the youngsters are talented and eager to improve; there are also veterans like Danilo, who are experienced. If everyone gives their best, we’ll see success at the end of the year.
Past experience
I started training towards different directions since childhood, eager to understand the sport, not just a momentary interest, but a result of my years of accumulated experience in different teams around the world.
