The new Juventus striker Nico Gonzalez spoke at a press conference on the day of his presentation. The Argentine also dwelt on the new way of playing of Thiago Motta’s team and on what the coach asks of him on the pitch: “The emotions of the first goal? I’m happy. For me it was a dream to score with this shirt. It was also the right moment to win the match. I’m very happy”.
What does Thiago Motta ask you to do?
“We know what to do: to be free, to take responsibility for each other, what to do on the pitch. This is what brings the right result and that’s why we won. We want to take responsibility. This is what the coach asks.”
What can make you grow up?
“Playing good football with the ball on the ground. Bringing a positive result, this is the right path. We must remain united and compact, be a good group, this leads to a positive result”.
Are you working towards playing as a centre forward?
“We work on this every day. One plays on the right, on the left or as a striker. We have great players. We have great players, those who don’t start are ready to come in and change the rhythm of the team. We are working hard every day and that is the idea.”
Is there a position you prefer on the pitch? Do you have an idol?
“The faithful Di Maria. For me he is an idol both on and off the pitch. I met him in the national team, from day one he behaved with me like a normal person, when he can easily become a god. On the pitch I am always happy, I can be a goalkeeper without any problems”.
Have you spoken to Di Maria about Juve?
“At that moment I didn’t speak to anyone, we were focused on the America’s Cup. On vacation I started thinking about this choice. When Juve arrives you don’t have to think, but say yes”.
