“Juventus was the most important club of my career and my life. As I said, I learned to truly play for these colors and for this shirt. Not because I didn’t like playing, but because you loved a shirt, a place. It’s the most important club of my career,” said Danilo.

The player also spoke about his relationship with the team’s veterans when he arrived and about his leadership during his time there. Danilo was captain of Juventus for several seasons.

“Here at Juventus, I had to learn to play for a shirt, for these colors, with players like Buffon, Chiellini, Bonucci, Alex Sandro, Cuadrado, Dybala… Players who had been here for a long time,” he stated.

“I saw them as idols. When they left, I realized someone needed to step up, and that’s what I did. Many people think captains and leaders always have to speak, but sometimes it’s the opposite. You also need to listen to people,” Danilo concluded.
