ALL EYES ON THE FUTURE FOR LEMINA
“I had a few injury problems at the start of the campaign and it is thanks to Juve that I overcame them”, Mario Lemina began. “I’m very happy with how the season has gone and for the support I have received from my team-mates.”
“I’ve predominately filled in for (Claudio) Marchisio in front of the back four this term, but I’ve also felt at home in more advanced positions. I’m learning all the time and I’m confident that I can contribute to the team from anywhere on the field. I’ve had a great year, not only for the two goals that I have scored, but for the overall success of the last nine months. We’ve been terrific to a man but we mustn’t stop here. At a personal level, this is just the beginning and I hope to become a key figure in this team in years to come.”
“What sets Juventus apart is their attention to detail in training and in preparing for matches. No stone is left unturned and the entire setup is extremely professional. Naturally at the beginning Paul (Pogba) and Patrice (Evra), both being French speakers like myself, helped me to settle into the squad but now I’d say I get on very well with everyone. If I had to pick out someone who has had the largest impression on me, it would have to be (Gianluigi) Buffon. He has the power to instill belief and confidence in anyone.”
“My dream is to win the Champions League with Juventus. Last time out they were denied in the final and this time we pushed Bayern Munich all the way: all that has been missing is a touch of luck, a big ingredient for any winner of that trophy.”
