Official: Ex-Sporting star joins Juventus, hails 'perfect club' | OneFootball

It's official. Tatiana Pinto, former player of Sporting, is the latest addition to Juventus' women's football team. The Portuguese international was announced this Thursday, August 21st, at the Italian club and arrives from the Spanish team Atlético Madrid.

"I want to share my experience on and off the field. I am sure I can also learn a lot from my teammates: in football and in life, we always have to learn; the day we stop, we're finished," she told the club's media.

The player shows ambition for the new step in her career: "I think Juventus is the perfect club for those who want to win titles, play at the highest level, and compete in all competitions. I think it's the perfect combination for my ambition. I just arrived, but I already realized that this is a club that wants to win everything. I fully identify with these values," she added.

The footballer spoke about her strengths: "I am a team player. If the team needs me to play right-back or left-back, I don't mind. I'm here to give my best and to serve the team and the club. At the end of the day, I want to win and help the team as much as I can. I am an aggressive player, I really like to appear in the area, to help in defense, to do the 'dirty' work from area to area. I like to move up the field and try to score, and to be aggressive. I will always want more, and if we score a goal, I will always be looking for the second," she concluded.

For Sporting - which recently lost against Athletic Bilbao -, the Portuguese international played 126 games, in which she scored 33 goals and won two National Championships (2016/17 and 2017/18), two Portuguese Cups (2016/17 and 2017/18) and also a Super Cup (2017). She left in 2021 heading to Levante, having also played for Brighton and Atlético de Madrid.
