"Today, Juventus officially presented the acquisition of the five-time best football player in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo. The 33-year-old sniper is coming to Italy after nine seasons in the ranks of Real Madrid, where it was expected that he would end his career. However, the forward immediately mentioned after the UEFA Champions League final that he would go in search of new challenges. It was precisely this challenge that he named playing in the Serie A championship. "Juventus" is one of the best clubs in the world. It was a long-debated move, but the decision to join the best team in Italy and take a very important step in my career was easy," Ronaldo said at a press conference. "Juventus has a great coach and a great president, used to winning. Coming here was an easy decision." "This is a huge challenge in my career. With all respect, many players my age choose to go elsewhere. Playing in such a huge club makes me happy, I am very grateful to Juventus for this opportunity." "My history with Real was great and I thank the fans. However, now I want to give myself to this stage of my life. I can't wait to start playing. I am very motivated and I want to show that I am a top-level footballer." "I want to leave a mark in Juventus' history. I am very happy about this challenge." "I love challenges and I know this will be tough. It is a very tactical championship, but I love tough challenges and I don't like sitting around and looking at my past success. I want to work hard and continue." "The Champions League is a trophy that everyone wants to win, but it is very difficult. Juventus was close to us last season, but finals are always accompanied by uncertainty. That's why I hope to bring success, but to do it calmly. We will fight for all trophies." Last season, "Juventus" triumphed in Italy for the seventh consecutive time, and in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, they fell to Real.
