Thrown in team A by Thiago Motta, Samuel Mbangula scored Max Allegri in training. The Calcio laboratory built him as a player.
” If I am the player I am today, with all my qualities, it is largely thanks to Juventus. I built up muscle, I learned the codes of the famous Italian tactics… and I erased the nonchalance I had in Belgium when I was younger. People are also sometimes deceived by my outward attitude… but I am no longer nonchalant. It is just my way of being, but in truth, nonchalance is now behind me. (sic) One of my youth coaches at Juve even made me play 6 weeks as a full-back so that I could learn defensive work… (He pauses) Let’s just say it wasn’t the best time of my life… but today I can still thank him! (wink) Because today, if I know how to defend, it’s thanks to him. Today, I still have to learn, but for a striker, I do a lot more running and tackling than others… (wink) That said, my football will never change: I will always play on instinct and I will always do the things I feel. My favourite move? I will not say it, otherwise the defenders will know! (He laughs) Come on, let’s say it’s the sole/fake shot… You always have to try… The coach always tells us that we have the right to miss our move: the only important thing is not to hesitate in your decisions. If you are convinced that your move will succeed, but in the end it fails, it can happen, it’s human to fail. The most important thing is the reaction: it’s the character that you show to improve and succeed next time. “
