The last day of the championship, which saw the Juventus beating Monza at the Stadium, was the occasion for the emotional farewell to Alex Sandro. The Brazilian defender has reached 327 appearances for the Bianconeri, joining Pavel Nedved as the foreigner who has worn the Juve shirt the most times. He too was celebrated by all his teammates at the end of the match. However, the recognition did not end on the pitch, as the team also dedicated a greeting and wonderful thanks to him on social media.
Alex Sandro, Danilo’s tearful farewell
The most emotional words came from the captain Danilothat with Alex Sandro he also shared adventures with Santos and Porto: “You don’t know how far I’ve come to get here! This song came to mind while we were going up in the elevator to rest before your last game with the Juventus. It’s easy to see why this song came to mind. I don’t think it will ever be possible to explain how far we have come together to get here. The journey was brilliant but full of obstacles and hills to overcome, but I confess that it was always easier when we were together: 1 year at Santos, 4 at Porto and 5 at Juve. Since 2010, 14 years of a union that I can’t even call friendship, because it goes beyond that. I know that like you, for me we are the same family. Our personalities are different, and rightly so, because my impulsiveness and emotionality always finds more rationality in your calmer and more thoughtful temperament. You have been my support, on whom I have leaned in the most complicated moments, in the most difficult battles, on and off the pitch. And there were many! You made history, you left your mark, with many trophies and successes, but above all with your humility and your ability to work in every situation, which made you loved and respected by everyone you worked with over the years. We will continue to be life partners, but I will certainly miss your daily company, your morning humor that enchants (it’s not true), your advice and the certainty of having someone with whom you can understand each other even just by a glance. Wherever you go, may God accompany you and protect you! Thank you my brother!”.
Juve, Perin’s message for Alex Sandro
The Juventus goalkeeper also dedicated some nice words to the Brazilian on social media: “Extraordinary player, exemplary professional. I thank you for what you have given us over these years, you have inspired us with your seriousness, your dedication to work, your ability to put the group first before personal satisfaction. Never a word out of place, or rather few words but put in the right place, used in the moments that matter, your silent leadership taught me more than you think. The embrace and affection of all the fans present in our stadium is what you deserved most , for those who, like you, gave everything for this shirt. Thank you friend, Thank you AlexLegend Juventus“.
