Less than one week after the Old ladies of Turin confirmed their acquisition of the reigning World Best football player; Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus on Monday evening unveiled him after passing a medical earlier in the day.
Ronaldo, 33yrs who showed a sterling performance at the just concluded 2018 World Cup tournament hosted by Russia insisted that his move to Juventus from Real Madrid is a new challenge which he must embrace to show that he is still a top player.
“The nine years at Real Madrid were wonderful, but it’s a brand new step in my life, so I thank all the supporters with my heart,” Ronaldo said at a press conference. “But I have to focus on this next step. I’m looking forward to playing. I’m very motivated, concentrated and focused on that.”
“I’m going to try to show that I am a top player, as usual. I’m going to work hard in training … I am very ambitious and I like challenges. I don’t like to stay in my comfort zone. After the experiences in Manchester and in Madrid, I’d like to mark the history of Juventus.”
Ronaldo revealed he had chosen to join Juventus rather than head for one last big pay day in the Middle or Far East. “I’m here because it’s a brand new challenge for my career,” he said.
“It’s a big club and usually players of my age go to Qatar or to China, with all due respect, so coming to such an important and outstanding club at this point in my career makes me very happy. That’s why I’m very grateful to Juventus for this opportunity.”
“[Juventus] have won domestic cups and Serie A titles, and they were in the final of the Champions League, so I am so proud to be here, I am so proud that they were interested in me,” Ronaldo added.
“I hope I can give the best response on the field during matches, that’s what I can do. I hope I can take them to an even higher level.”
