Danilo, from the years in the city of the Mole to his return to Brazil: Here are the words of the former captain of the Old Lady

Danilo, former Bianconeri captain, spoke in an interview with Ge.Globo, discussing his years in the world of football, focusing on his best period, which was, in fact, at Juventus. Here are the words of the defender now playing for Flamengo:

“For obvious reasons, as a professional you end up becoming attached to other worlds and other jerseys. Certainly, the most important club in my life is Juventus, I’ve never hidden that. For everything I experienced there, for the club, for the city, and for its history. My passion for Flamengo remained from a distance, but I thought it would never happen that I’d play here.

I thought my career was set to spend its final years at Juventus, and life is crazy, things took an unexpected turn. It’s worth remembering that, if you think about the Flamengo of my childhood and adolescence, things have changed a lot in Brazilian football. It’s much more structured in general, and Flamengo even more so. It’s a club that has become very well organized to welcome players like Jorginho, Arrascaeta, Bruno, Pedro, Alex Sandro, Filipe… Combining the moment of my life at Juventus, when I had to make a decision about changing, with Flamengo’s restructuring, this reignited that flame.

My family used to say: ‘Let’s go, come to Flamengo.’ At a certain point I called one of my brothers and said: ‘I have this, this, this… and Flamengo.’ He replied: ‘Brother, you already know what you want. You’re calling me, but you already know where you want to go.’”
