Carlos Alcaraz dismisses comparison with Arturo Vidal

Carlos Alcaraz’s first words as an bianconero

Juventus’ new signing Carlos Alcaraz è introduced himself in a press conference, giving his first words as a bianconero: "I’ve been here for a week, I’m happy and I’m fine. I am training in the group, there’s been a’great reception. The debut in the challenge with Inter didn’t go well in terms of the result, but’it allowed me to break the ice with a big match. Too bad about the’epilogue, but we are already focused on Monday’s match on Monday night".

On his role: "I have really played so many roles in the past. I feel comfortable both as a midfielder and as a false nueve. Now I’m in the process of adapting: the coach tried me as a right inside forward, but in general I’m willing to play in any position. I hate losing -even in training- I always want to win, I aim for trophies, è this is my attitude. I feel great trust from the coach, I will try to repay it".

He then unveiled his idol, distancing forò the comparison with Vidal: "It canò only please me to have been associated with great champions of Juventus history. I know I have to do well, I want my name to be branded here. As a kid my inspiration was Cristiano Ronaldo, to wear this jersey è a dream come true. I always chose Juventus when I played PlayStation, if they didn’t let me I would get angry. Vidal è was an absolute top player in bianconero, the comparison with him flatters me. My task now è is to work according to my potential, I want to achieve great results. I just have to think about myself".

"I realized right away that the team è consists of many young profiles, but also of more experienced players. I sense the right chemistry: the support of great champions è always useful in certain situations. I arrived in a group where there are so many top players. The one who impressed me the most ù è Locatelli. I consider him a very good player, è endowed with great technique, trying my hand in training with him exalts me, I will learn è so much by watching him play. I immediately confronted Danilo, he asked me how I was, he had words of comfort. We breathe a family atmosphere and I have to thank both him and the rest of the team for their involvement in the early days" concluded Alcaraz.
