APPIANO GENTILE – If you hadn't been a defender, what position would you have liked to play in? "Up front," Juan Jesus replied without a moment's hesitation. The Brazilian was speaking on this evening's edition of Prima Serata on Inter Channel, which airs at 21:00.
On the subject of his position on the pitch, he also explained that "I have no problem playing with three or four at the back: whatever the boss chooses is fine by me."Some of the fans who wrote in to Inter Channel said they hoped he would become the best defender in the world. On hearing those words he sighed and let out a smile before exclaiming, "Let's hope so!" But he also admitted: "To do that, first I must improve the tactical side of my game. I'm not short in the strength department but there's more of a tactical element here than in Brazil, where football is played faster. I still have to get used to that. My relationship with Thiago Silva for Brazil? I've learnt a lot off him, I think we can have a big part to play in the history of the Seleção. He's taught me things about the differences in Italian football. Playing at the Olympics has also helped me a lot. Thiago was a great help there too and the head coach placed his faith in me. It was a fantastic experience that really helped me to develop as a player."
