“Three years ago if they had told me I would be here, I would never have believed it, it was a great climb. Every year, every day. I worked so hard to be here and now I’m very proud“. Thus begins the interview given by Andrea Cambiaso to the channels UEFA. A daily growth, starting from 36 months ago in which he had just 7 appearances in Serie B. Step by step he reached the Juventus and at the convocation of Luciano Spalletti.
Cambiaso: “Juve’s work and Chiesa’s stories”
Cambiaso touched on various topics during the interview. The class of 2000 first returns to the path that led him to be called by Spalletti for Euro 2024: “I hoped for it, but there was never a day when I really believed I could do it. I pretended nothing happened. I worked every day thinking about Juventus. I had gone to a training camp prior to the one in America but I hadn’t played. Let’s say that I cultivated this hope in silence at Juventus. I was already very happy to be in my 30s, then when I entered 26 it was a great emotion. I am very happy, especially for my family“.
From the emotions of being called up to those experienced by those who won Euro 2020, and who today share the locker room with him: “I am always near Chiesa at lunch and I often ask him about the emotions he felt in that tournament, we often talk about it and now we hope to reply. That evening at Wembley I was at home with some friends, the next day I had to leave for the training camp with Genoa. I remember it very well, I remember Gigio’s save on Saka, a beautiful memory. The nice thing is that I was watching it with friends who will be in the stands with Spain. It’s a closing circle, it’s a nice thing for the guys who always support me“.
