APPIANO GENTILE – At one point during his interview on Prima Serata, images of Juan Jesus's Nerazzurri debut appeared on the screen. "Who can forget their debut? That was at the Olimpico against Lazio on 13 May. Unfortunately we didn't get the result we wanted, but you always remember your debut as a big moment, an exciting moment. Just as I remember the first time I sat on the bench, when Ranieri was still coach."
From Nerazzurri memories to other memories of his life away from the field and his hobbies. One after another, Juan Jesus responded to questions sent in from curious fans: "I left home when I was 14. I really miss my family but this is my job. My idol when I was growing up? Lucio, for his power and strength. Why do I wear the No.40 shirt? Because I have number 4 for Brazil and here that number belongs to the captain... Will I wear it one day? No, the No.4 shirt will be history when Pupi retires - impossible to wear it!"From this team-mate to his life-mate: "I'm married to Caroline. She's 23 and still studying. We got married in January this year, in Brazil. She helps me a lot, she's really supportive. My wife is very important to me. Do I get on with Andrea Ranocchia, my partner in defence? He's a friend as well. He's a good lad and yes, we get on really very well."
Finally, Juan revealed what he likes to do in his free time: "I play on the Playstation, go to the cinema and I enjoy tennis. Nadal is my favourite!"
