Kalulu: Motta words convinced me about Juventus move

The French defender left AC Milan for Juve last summer.

“When Thiago Motta called, he asked if I was ready to play every three days, and then told me he could see me playing on the right, in the middle and on the left,” Kalulu revealed to DAZN Italia.

“I thought this was the ultimate. If you feel that the club has confidence in you, then you give your best. You have to feel like you are in a team and a club that really wants you, because we are still human and we work from the heart.

“I also remember Motta telling me that he chooses his lineup based on the training.”

Kalulu also said: “There is a strong bond with the fans, like a love affair. You feel the vibrations from the stands, you get goosebumps and try to soak up the atmosphere during the warm-up, see and hear everything around you.

“For me personally this is a very good period. I know that being a fan means giving love and passion, and it is also normal to be angry when the team does not win.

“I hate losing, even though I know it's part of life and helps you stay grounded, but even as a kid I always wanted to win.”
