Upon her arrival in Turin, Tatiana shared her delight with us.
"It’s incredible. This was really unexpected for me, but as soon as Juventus approached me I was really happy to come here," Pinto said, beginning her first interview as a Bianconera. "I’m a very ambitious player and to come to Juventus and be the first Portuguese player, I think I’m changing some mindsets and mentalities in Portugal and I want to help raise the value of Portuguese players around the world. I’m really happy.”
“I have a hunger to win. I think Juventus is the perfect club for someone who wants to win titles, be at the highest level, and to compete in every competition. I think it’s a perfect match.”
“I’m a team player. If the team needs me to play at right-back or left-back, I don’t care. I’m here to give my best, and to serve the team and the club. At the end of the day I want to win and to help the team as much as I can. I’m an aggressive player, I really like to get into the box, to help the defence, to do the ‘dirty’ box-to-box work. I like getting forward and trying to score, and being aggressive. I’ll always push for more, and if we score one I’ll always be looking for a second.”
"I want to share my experience on and off the pitch. I’m sure my teammates can teach me a lot too, because in football and in life generally you always have to learn - the day you stop learning, you’re dead. I think I can teach them something, and they can give me a lot in return. It’s a win-win relationship. I can’t wait to get to know the girls, to experience the Italian culture, and to bring my mindset, discipline and professionalism to everybody here.”
