Leonardo Bonucci sheds light on his farewell to Juventus
The words of Leonardo Bonucci
Leonardo Bonucci è returned to talk about his farewell to Juventus in Gianluca Gazzoli’s podcast "Pass by the Bsmt": "I had to leave almost running away becauseé someone had decided it had to be this way; è it was a choice of an individual that I did not deserve".
"I ended up with Giuntoli who had just arrived and so he had no chance to do otherwise and he told me 'Look, you are no longer in the plans. You are out of the pink'. At first it almost seemed like a joke to me, after more than 500 games to be given the sack in this way… Instead it was all real. Paradoxically, I came back on July 17 to practice, and I was practicing at 7:30 in the evening when the team was practicing or early in the morning or even in the afternoon not practicing. I was together with other guys who were in the same situation as me, who maybe had been on loan somewhere or were coming back from an injury".
"I still don’t know the explanation to this day. Or rather, I know the explanation. È it was a power play. Before Giuntoli communicated the decision to me, I had already sniffed it out. Articles were starting to come out that kind of threw out the signal and in fact when I got the call from Manna advising me that they were coming to the house to talk to me, I told my wife 'Look, they are coming because something is happening that we didn't expect. So I was prepared, but you are never prepared for certain things that are said to you. Especially when you make a whole career imprinted on Juventus. Now I dream of getting to sit on an important bench like Juventus, I like to think that this story is not over".
Filling in on the failed transfer to Roma: "Giallorossi fans used to say that a Juventus player wearing a Roma jersey cannot be seen: I am and will always be a Juventus player, but when I take the field with a team I play for the jersey I wear".
