Sebastian Walukiewiczdefender of Turinspoke to the club’s official channels, talking about himself and what he has in mind for his future in the grenade: “I’m very happy to be here, all the boys, all the staff and the whole club are good, I just have to I have to work and demonstrate my abilities. I am a modern defender, capable of dribbling, coming out with the ball and defending well. I want to do this, I don’t have to talk, but I have to help the team with my left hip, but I had surgery. Then I went to Serie B with Cagliari, it wasn’t easy to come back like that. I changed and went to Empoli, but I had other problems with my hip and I didn’t play much. I can say that you must never give up.”
What was your role as a child?
“Forward. Since I moved to Legia Warsaw, in the Academy, I played as a midfielder, but all the defenders were injured, I was tall and therefore the coach changed my role.”
Did you talk to Glik before coming to Turin?
“I haven’t spoken to Glik, I know he has done great things here, he is a source of inspiration for me, I hope I can do like him here. I spoke to Linetty, he only told me good things, and also with Vagnati, who told me he explained that this could be a step forward, the right choice.”
How did you experience the negotiation?
“Everything was quick, it was the last day of the transfer market. I saw the Museum, it’s very, very beautiful, but I haven’t seen the city yet because when I arrived I immediately went to the national team, I found a house two days ago.. I haven’t seen much, but I think the climate is similar to the Polish one, but I like it because it’s more similar to Poland, it’s not still used to it, but I hope I’m okay.”
What is your relationship with Vanoli?
“I signed and went straight to Venice, entering for 5 minutes without training on my legs. I can say thank you because he gave me confidence.”
What is your typical day?
“I wake up, have breakfast, we do activities, lunch, then I go to sleep for two hours or watch a film. At this point, snack, we go to the field. Rituals? I always put things on the left first.”
What are his hobbies?
“I like to spend time out with my friends, when I have free time I go to the mountains to rest. Otherwise I stay with the family. I agree about food, Italian cuisine is the best in the world, but I’m a bit strange : in Italy I want to eat Polish things, in Poland I don’t cook, but my girlfriend does it very well, so I’m not worried. I proposed to her 4 months ago on holiday, but now we don’t organize anything, I changed teams and city, we are focused for this. When we are ready, we will prepare our things. I only see my daughter 5 times a year, I miss her.”
