Juventus forward, Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that what he saw at the Allianz Stadium in Turin motivated him to joined the Serie A champions.
Ronaldo joined the Italian giants from Real Madrid earlier this summer in a 100-million-euro deal.
The Portuguese international earned a standing ovation from the Turin crowd when he scored a spectacular overhead kick at the Allianz Stadium for Real Madrid last season in the Champions League.
“The small details make the big difference at the end of the day so…I would say what I saw in the stadium helped (his move),” Ronaldo said in an interview with streaming broadcaster DAZN.
“And, of course, when the people start to applaud me in the stadium I was like, ‘wow’.
“It surprised me a lot because this has never happened in my life, so it was an unbelievable moment.”
Ronaldo, however, said he had been impressed with his new club since joining last month in a 100-million-euro deal.
“I’m very happy, the team is strong and Juve, as everyone knows, is one of the best clubs in the world,” Ronaldo continued.
“I’m positively surprised, we train hard twice a day. I like how they train, their mentality. They have special methods, they are very, very professional and for this reason I feel good.
“There are things in life that seem to be dictated by destiny and in this case it was like that.
“I never expected to play in this team, but some things happen naturally, for me it was an easy decision, what was done in Madrid is incredible, I won everything, my family lives there, but it’s part of the past.
“I want to try to write the story in this club.”
