Mario Lemina says he always liked the 'playing style' of his new team Juventus and hopes the team can do 'even better'.
The 21-year-old came in as a classic last-minute signing from Olympique Marseille, and his first statements were published today on the Bianconeri's official site.
“I prefer to play in a box-to-box role, which is what I was doing at Marseilles recently,” he said.
“I think with the formation that Juventus deploy I can be useful to the team.

“I prefer to play in a box-to-box role, which is what I was doing at Marseilles recently,” he said.
“I think with the formation that Juventus deploy I can be useful to the team.
“I've always liked Juventus and their playing style. And of course we've all seen they win a lot, in the championship and in the cups.
"They came to the final of the Champions League last year, I was rooting for them but unfortunately they lost.
“Now I'm here and we'll try to repeat last year's achievements, or do even better.
“I'm really happy to be at Juve for my birthday.
“I mustn't think I've arrived now, I must prove that I can have a role in this team.
“Hopefully I'll be out on the pitch for Juventus soon.”
