Angel di Maria: I am the ELECTRIC ONE! This is the Di Maria who joins Juventus

Angel di Maria is excited to have signed for Juventus.

The former PSG attacker has joined Juve on an initial 12 month deal.

Di Maria was presented to the local media today and said: "Hello everyone, I'm really happy to be able to wear this shirt. It's really fantastic to be able to join this great club, they all welcomed me with enthusiasm.

"I'm the same as always: the electric one, that who always wants to win and who doesn't like to lose, this is the Di Maria who comes to Juve. I think that's why I was caught: now it will be important to work and I have already said it many times, in football things change very quickly.

"I had the idea of returning to Argentina but things change, I'm very calm and I'll try to do my best at Juve."

He also said: "An important team like Juve, if you persist for 40 days, then it becomes difficult to say no. They waited for me when the French championship ended, when I was involved in the national team and then I took a little delay in answering only for family matters.

"I wanted to stay on vacation for a while and then dedicate myself to this new adventure. Just before finishing the holidays I communicated my choice.

"I am a player who likes to play, in any position, I always like to be on the pitch, I have a strong character and I like to win. The position I love most is that of a right forward to be able to enter and shoot left, but it will depend on the coach, it is he who decides."
