Many themes were discussed by Teun Koopmeiner during his official presentation as a new Juventus player, after his summer transfer from Atalanta. During the meeting with the press, the Dutch midfielder also focused on his idols, especially those linked to the Juventus shirt of the past. This is his thought, with images from today’s press conference, in which he explains his admiration for Juventus midfielders of past eras:
Why did you choose number 8?
“I chose number 8 because it is a very important number. I have always played with number 8 and I grew up with this number. At Atalanta it was not available but as soon as it became available I asked for it”.
How are you physically? Are you ready to start?
“I feel very good. The last month has been difficult in terms of training. I trained very intensely and I’m happy to have played 45 minutes in the last match. I’m ready to play from the first minute. It’s also a great satisfaction for the great welcome I received here.”
Is there a Juve player you admired?
“Zinedine Zidane. He was a source of inspiration for many. Also other players like Andrea Pirlo, Marchisio even for the number 8. Many exceptional players have passed through and I have only mentioned a few.”
