Juventus loanee Pierre Kalulu has revealed the reason he joined the club was because of the trust he received from manager Thiago Motta.

Kalulu has spoken about his decision to join the Turin giants, citing the belief and trust he received that he didn’t have at Milan.
“When Thiago Motta called me, he asked if I was available to play every three days. And then he said he saw me playing on the right, in the middle and on the left,” Kalulu told DAZN.
“I think that’s the ultimate thing. When you feel the club has faith in you. That’s when you give it your all. You have to feel like you’re in a team and a club that really wants you. Because we’re human and we work with our hearts.”
“I still remember Motta telling me that he picks players based on their performances in training,”
Kalulu said that is ecstatic to be a Bianconeri player and confirmed that. The first-team squad ‘could not have been any more welcoming’. He is even more happy to have started life in his new team with a win. Having come off the bench during Juve’s 3-0 victory over Verona on Monday.
