With Felipe Melo fever hitting the Juventus camp as the final details are put on his passage from Fiorentina, the Brazilian can’t wait to get started and shed some light on his season’s ambitions in an interview with GazzettadelloSport.

In Pinzolo they are already going mad for Melo: “I was told, it is a great feeling,” he replied. “The support of the fans is one of the best places from which to push off from. We need to work hard to take the side to number one. I get extremely irritated when I don’t win and I intend to start winning immediately.

“I would like to thank the Viola fans for everything they have given me and I will always hold a place in my heart for them. I’m sorry if now some, probably many, are angry with me. But it had to be this way. The move was a good one even for the club and now Fiorentina can invest the money as well as they know how."

Following Alessio Secco’s comments that, with Melo, Juventus can win everything, the Brazilian was then asked to respond on the ambitious declaration of transfer chief.

He said, “At Juve you can win it all, but to do so you need to work hard.


“I can’t wait to get started.”
