Evra thrilled with winning home debut: Juventus Stadium incredible

Patrice Evra enjoyed a winning home debut for Juventus last night. The former Manchester United fullback was delighted with victory over Udinese.

"It is incredible," he told Sky Sport Italia. "Pogba told me about the stadium, I'd never played here and the fans were amazing.

"I have to thank everyone, from the fans to players and staff, and will try to repay them with my performances."

Evra revealed he is finding it a big shift from the Premier League to Serie A.

"I have never worked so hard in training in all my life! The difference is the game is less intense, but more tactical, so you have to stay concentrated at all times and cannot be distracted for a moment."
