Juventus player Matthijs de Ligt spoke about himself in an interview. He gave very honest and interesting points about his career so far.
Despite other offers, de Licht chose Juventus.
Matthijs de Ligt named the reason why he decided to move to Juventus 2 years ago, despite the fact that there was no shortage of proposals from the European giants. The 21-year-old defender believes he made the right decision and is definitely where he should be. According to de Ligt, playing in Italy is the perfect choice for a defender, as he talked about in an interview.
I am where I want to be and where I can find out more
“I compared the pros and cons and finally chose Juventus. I have to prove in every game that I am at a high level. If you can play defense in Italy, you can do it everywhere. I am where I want to be and where I can find out more. There are experienced players like Chiellini and Bonucci, as well as Buffon and Ronaldo. I watch what Cristiano does in training, how he stays in shape, and ask his advice. Buffon? Maybe it was my father. He doesn’t look like a man twice my size, and that’s his strength, so he still plays. He has the mind of a 29 year old man. Ramsey helped me the most to adapt in Italy, but I helped him too. “I learned Italian faster than he did,” de Licht said in an interview.
Matthijs de Ligt’s words show his gratitude and positive attitude towards the listed professional players, as well as the fact that he is proud and satisfied with his decision.
Matthijs de Ligt was bought by Juventus from Ajax Amsterdam in the summer of 2019 for 75 million Euros. The Dutch defender has played 60 matches in all Italian competitions to date and has managed to score 4 goals
