Nicolò Savona spoke live on Twitch and TuttoJuve.com reported his words live:
An opinion on your season?
“We didn’t start well, because we were at the bottom of the table. Thanks to daily work, being a group and a family, this led us to achieve this goal. We are very proud of our goal. We train in peace and we are ready.”
How important was Mr. Brambilla for your growth?
“It was also very important because it made me become a central defender. I always played full-back in the spring and in this change of role it was fundamental.”
How did you overcome the initial difficulties?
“In that period there was tension in the locker room, there wasn’t a good atmosphere. But we tried to be united, we are a team and a family, we try to help each other without insulting each other or anything similar. Then we all came out of this period together” .
The turning point match?
“The victory against Virtus Entella. We played a great match and fought on all balls.”
Best placement in Next Gen history…
“We finished seventh and it is the best placing of the Next Gen. The secret is daily work, we have always trained with the right determination and I believe that this is the secret to achieving the objectives”.
What relationship do you have with Nicolussi Caviglia?
“I’ve known Hans since I was 8 years old. We used to leave Aosta together to go to training. Every now and then we see each other in Aosta and when we train together in the first team.”
About the Playoffs?
“We will face a strong team in a single match. It is stimulating to play a single match, where we are playing for the possibility of moving forward this season.”
After qualifying for the playoffs, what did you say to each other in the locker room?
“We were very happy and convinced of our path. In the locker room there was a lot of conviction in our abilities.”
Your favorite role?
“My role is full-back in a 4-man defence. This year I mainly played third at the back or fifth in midfield.”
A player who inspires you?
“For my role I am inspired by my idol: Dani Alves”.
What do you dream for the future?
“I’ve dreamed of making my debut with the Juventus shirt since I was little. It would be the best to do it in the Champions League.”
A rating for Juve’s season?
“It was bad until December. Then now the process has been positive. The rating was 8.5”.
How much do you miss Poli?
“He is an example for us and is our captain. He has always known how to manage some moments even off the pitch which were really important for us.”
The most difficult attacker to mark? The strongest player you’ve faced?
“The strongest I faced Douglas Costa. I thought he wasn’t human. Devastating. The hardest to mark? Kargbo from Cesena.”
Difference between group A and group B?
“The difference is ours. At the beginning, being a young team, we struggled a lot to create the group, in the second part we bonded more even outside of Vinovo and this helped us. Now we often go out together and organize dinners between each other we”.
Where do you find energy before matches?
“I think about the sacrifices I have made and where I am now. The motivations are found within me.”
Difference between Primavera and Next Gen?
“There’s a big gap, because in Primavera you play against guys and the pace isn’t that of the Next Gen. In Lega Pro you play against established players who perhaps have played in Serie A.”
The most talented companion? The one who jokes the most? The most serious one?
“Talented: Yildiz.
Jokes: Everyone.
Mature: Guerra, Poli, Iocolano”.
Were you afraid of going backwards?
“No fear, but we were also second to last and we had to reflect a lot in that period. Fortunately everything went well.”
Have you ever talked about a promotion to Serie B?
“Jokingly between us, yes. As an objective, however, never.”
Do you have a photo with CR7…
“Seeing Ronaldo live is impressive. I thought about having a statue near me.”
What relationship do you have with Miretti and Fagioli?
“I have known Miretti for 10 years and I lived with Fagioli in the boarding school. For us they are models to inspire us.”
About the friendly match against the first team?
“I’m a Juventus player. Playing at the Allianz against the first team players was amazing. A wonderful emotion, crazy.”
The best match seen at the stadium?
“Most beautiful match: Juventus-Atletico Madrid 3-0”.
Your best match in black and white?
“Juventus-Milan in the spring where I also scored a goal.”
Who surprised you? Who will we hear about?
“Definitely Yildiz. We will hear about Hasa and Nonge.”
Most important person in your career?
“My family was certainly fundamental. In the Juventus club I can mention Gigi Milani. Coaches, however, Marchio, Valenti and Bonatti”.
How important were Brambilla and Chiellini?
“They gave us a hand to get out of the bad period. The instructions from the coach and the director were to work with our heads down, without talking, to keep the group stable and not to break it up.”
Did you set any goals for yourself?
“I wanted to make 5 assists and make my debut with the first team. That has always been my goal. I’m missing two assists and I want to get them in the playoffs. In five years I hope to wear this shirt and play for Juventus.”
