Teun Koopmeiners he is ready to return to Juventus at full capacity after the difficult and painful recovery from the fractured rib injury: “This last month has been a bit complex because it is an injury that can be felt with every movement, even breathing has been difficult – admits the Juventus midfielder in the long interview with Tuttosport -. I had to sleep in the armchair because, if I lay horizontally on the bed, the pressure was greater and so I felt more pain. But I’m better now.”
Despite the rumors about the Premier League last summer the Dutchman never had any doubts about choosing Juventus: “I have liked this club from the first moment I arrived in Italy, but not only that. It is the most important in Italy and in the world. In reality, I have supported and followed Juventus since I was a child in Holland. The Juve of the greats champions. Who did I adore? Well, Zidane!”.
The passage from Bergamo to Turin. For Koopmeiners, obviously, there is also room to go back on his move from Atalanta to Juventus. A change of shirt that the player defines as “complicated, but I would say that the whole summer was difficult”. And isolating a particularly significant moment from those days, Koopmeiners recalls the taxi journey from Bergamo to Turin with his girlfriend: “The evening before I had received the phone call in which I was told that everything had been resolved. I went to sleep, but I hadn’t yet digested the news well. I remember that when the taxi was on its way to Turin I turned to Rosa and said to her: “Finally!” I was relieved, as if all the pressure I had accumulated had gone away.”
