Now a player for Union Berlin in the Bundesliga, Leonardo Bonucci (36) looked back on his difficult departure from Juventus in recent weeks. He would have preferred the story to end differently.
Arriving this summer in the German capital from the Old Lady, Leonardo Bonucci is finally back on the pitch. During an interview reported by German media including Kicker, he returned to his divorce from the Bianconeri with a certain touch of bitterness. “Leaving Italy, to be honest, was not in my thoughts. Juve was my life, I thought about playing there in the last year of my career, but I don’t want to talk about Juve in this moment .I wanted to get out of my comfort zone, discover a new culture, a new language and a new lifestyle. I wanted this experience and now I only focus on that. The language is very difficult, the lifestyle is different , even football.” Explains Bonucci.
Before returning to this Berlin choice: “In the Bundesliga, the teams are bigger and you therefore have to leave a lot of space behind the defensive line. When I arrived, I told the coach that I would need 3-4 weeks to get back in shape and we are almost there now. I spoke with Luciano Spalletti two weeks ago. He told me that I would have to play many matches to return to the Azzurri. I know that it “It’s difficult, but my main goal is to be among those called up for the European Championships.” Finished the 36-year-old central defender in the central hinge of the Bundesliga team which is competing in the Champions League this season.
