2011-09-08CULTURAL REVOLUTION

The eagerly-awaited day has come. Tonight Juve is moving into its new house. The inuaguration of the new stadium will take place tonight at 8 pm, some time earlier Alessandro gave an interview to Sky Sport regarding this event and the curious record of four stadiums where he has played in 18 years with Juventus (Comunale, Delle Alpi, Olimpico, Juventus Stadium).


Three years ago John Elkann gave you a ball, that earlier he had received from Avvocato, have you ever thought that you'd give it back on the new stadium still being a player?

I've had some hopes, I proudly kept it for all these years, but surely I knew it was a gift passing from hand to hand.


Comunale, old Delle Alpi, Olympic and the new stadium: four stadiums in 18 years. This one was a record to be set?

Probably this is the hardest to beat record. And it's really a nice one, because I had an opportunity to live through the emotions that surely have changed with the years, but still have solid for me points of reference. And above all I'm happy to have had a chance to play on the fields of great champions and to draw he energy from these places feels good.


How does it feel to be here, compared to the old Delle Alpi Stadium where you won and scored mostly?

It's a nice trait d'union, between  Delle Alpi, all in all lucky and victorious stadium for me and for Juventus, and this new one, that we do hope will be  even more successful.


The first rows are just 7 meters away from the field: is it a cultural revolution for the football Italy? 

It is a cultural revolution, and surely a revolution of the football world. It is an important, courageous and rather ticklish step for us. I really hope this will now become the norm for Italian football and its stadiums.


Is it true that you have prepared a special jersey to celebrate the 4 stadiums event?

Yes, there'll be a cute shirt to give to my friends, relatives and those who were close to me in all these years of playing on four different stadiums.


Imagine your last year with Juventus, what is it like?

Surely victorious, I have no alternative.
