When you were a child, did you prefer playing football or going to school?

is certainly playing football, but my mom prefers to let me go to school. I did both for a while and after that I started focusing on football, but going to school was important. I started playing football at the age of 8, just like you guys.

What other sports do you like besides football?

Another favorite sport I have is basketball, because I used to play basketball often, but I saw all my friends playing football, so I told my parents that I would play football too. I also like tennis.

Who was your idol when you were a child?

I have many idols, and of course Ronaldo is definitely one of them. Piero? He is not my favorite.

What other position do you want to play besides the striker?

goalkeeper, I think this is a bit special position, but the goalkeeper will eventually protect the team. I've never played the goalkeeper position, maybe one day in the future I'll try it.

Who do you think is the strongest defender?

Bremer, obviously it was him. There are a lot of powerful guards, and I don't want to say which guard makes me the most upset, but the hardest thing to deal with is Bremer.

What did you feel when you first put on a Juventus jersey?

is very happy and very honored. Being part of this glorious and great club is a very special thing that I will never forget.

Which is your most important goal?

Goals from the Italian Cup final last year. Although my first Champions League goal was also important, this goal against Atlanta won us the Italian Cup. And my first goal at Juventus, which is also very unforgettable.

Do you like Italy and Turin?

I love everything about Italy, it's a beautiful country. I feel really good here, especially the weather here, it's really beautiful when the weather is good. Of all the countries I have been to, except for my own motherland, I can tell you that Italy is the most beautiful country in the world. I also love Turin and although I didn’t have the chance to experience the city more, I love the peace it brings to me.

What music would you listen to to relax before the game?

There is no specific type, I listen to many kinds of music: rap, hip-hop, Trap...

Do you have any superstitions before the game?

Before the game? No, maybe I will wear the right leg guard plate first. But I think it's a habit, not a superstition.

Do you like to play together with the caddies before the game?

It's really great to enter the court with the children. I love seeing the kids happy when they see us because, as I told you, I have been in your position, and being a player was my dream.

How do you overcome difficulties?

can do a lot, but the most effective antidote is to score goals.

How do you get rid of your nervousness?

There is no special way, I try not to think too much, sometimes it is not easy. Even the day before the game, I don’t like to put the pressure on myself.

Why do you change your hairstyle frequently?

I don't know. Sometimes I don’t want to go to a barber shop, and sometimes it’s best to cut my hair short so that I can always be ready to take a shower in 2 minutes.

How can you shoot such a powerful shot?

Partly comes from innate, partly from training. You must know that you can always keep improving, and the important thing is never to give up.

What kind of superpower do you want to have?

Fly so that everyone can see you, but they can do nothing and you can easily score goals. Invisible? This is not very interesting...I want to start from the team's goal, pass everyone, and then hit the opponent's goal.
