Thuram and his dream of wearing the Juventus shirt.
Khéphren Thuram was visibly emotional in his first press conference as a Juventus player. The French midfielder spoke about his move to the Old Lady: “Being here is a dream, and speaking to the DS and the coach for the first time was also a dream. I’ve always wanted to play for Juve, ever since I was little, where many French players have played, names of great prestige. I’m even more proud to be able to wear this shirt that has a great meaning. So every day I wake up and feel very lucky”. Thuram also spoke about his main characteristics on the pitch: “I really love moving the ball around. I play a lot of verticalisation. I have great dynamic qualities, I also play a lot with the ball at my feet. I can recover balls even aggressively. I’m complete, but I still have a long way to go”.
Thuram speaks with Todibo and is happy to be coached by Thiago Motta.
Among the many questions asked to Khéphren Thuram, in the press conference, there was also one related to his former teammate at Nice Jean-Clair Todibo: “For Todibo, yes, we spoke, but not about Juve, but about many other things. Let’s see if it ends here or not”. The new number 19 of Juventus also spoke about the importance of being trained by Thiago Motta: “Yes, the fact that Thiago Motta became the Juventus coach certainly had its importance. As a player he was exceptional, very intelligent, he knew how to defend very well and worked very well with his group. I will be able to learn a lot from him. I know that if I have questions, he will be able to help me. Certainly, yes, it had its importance”. Shy, polite, but with a great desire to become a champion, this is the message sent by Khéphren Thuram to the people of the Old Lady.
