Emerson rejects Real option Tuesday 7 March, 2006 (Channel4)
Juventus midfielder Emerson has ruled out a Real Madrid move, while Marco Marchionni has explained why he’s agreed to join him in Turin next season.
The Brazilian has continually been associated with the Spanish giants after initially catching their eye at Roma.
Some whispers have claimed that Real will make a renewed bid for him in the summer, but the South American has committed himself to the Old Lady.
“I will never join Real,” said the midfielder. “They were after me last summer but I decided that I will stay at Juventus until 2008.
“The story linking me with Real Madrid is now a classic, I am well used to reading it in the newspapers.”
Emerson will be joined in the Juve midfield next season by Marchionni after he agreed to a Delle Alpi switch.
The in-demand Parma winger, who is available on a free transfer, was followed by a number of clubs but opted for Juve’s no-nonsense approach.
“I chose Juventus because while the others were just making me promises, Juventus instantly wanted my signature on a contract,” he outlined.
“I am sure that Fabio Capello will know how to use my characteristics for the good of the team next term.”
Marchionni, an Italian international, was also believed to be a target for Roma, Fiorentina and Internazionale.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Super Swede (CHannel4)
The Champions League, the World Cup and the Golden Ball – Zlatan Ibrahimovic simply wants it all. Lorenzo Zacchetti talks to the Juventus star who now ranks as one of the best players in Europe
You came eighth in the last European Footballer of the Year poll – will you be trying to take the Golden Ball off Ronaldinho in 2006?
Of course, I always want to be the best, but I don’t think I can compare myself to Ronaldinho in any way. He is himself and I am me. We are both attackers, even if we have different characteristics. With regards to 2006, I hope to take some significant steps forward tactically and technically.
What do you think you need to improve in particular?
I like it when I’m in control of the game, when I can dominate a phase of play. I would be very happy if I could get even better in that aspect.
Is it true that Fabio Capello shows you videos of Marco Van Basten?
That is correct. The fact that I am compared to such a legendary player like Van Basten is something that I am honoured by. However, I have to say that every player is an individual.
But the fact that Capello keeps showing you clips suggests that he is expecting more from you…
You’re talking about me becoming more prolific in front of goal? I agree. I think this will be the next step I have to take in my development.
However, you seem more like a second attacker – especially when you’re alongside David Trezeguet. You are a player in the style of Omar Sivori or Johann Cruyff, rather than a traditional centre-forward. What is your real position?
I am an attacker. I really like the idea that I can play in either role, even in the space of the same game. As I said before, I just want to be at the centre of things and touch the ball as often as possible. I want to be a decisive player all over the pitch.
The way you dribble past defenders is simply extraordinary. Do you specifically work on certain tricks in training or is it all down to instinct?
I like the fact that you consider me an entertaining player. To be honest, I don’t do anything specific in training. Being able to dribble is purely one of my characteristics. The thing that I enjoy most is creating chances in the opposition penalty area, for my teammates and myself.
What has been your favourite goal throughout your career to date? The strike at the Olimpico against Roma, the backheel versus Italy at Euro 2004 or is there another in your mind?
(Slight pause). I think I would have to say the goal I scored in my last game for Ajax when I basically dribbled past half of the opposing team!
You’re not dribbling past the Euro 2004 question though. That 2-2 between Sweden and Denmark which knocked out the Azzurri – was it fixed?
No, no. We went on to the pitch with the intention of winning, as that is the mentality of Swedish football. I understand that you must have been disappointed that it ended 2-2 and Italy went out, but these things happen in football.
Let’s look ahead to the next major tournament. What chance has your nation got at the World Cup when you start against England, Paraguay and Trinidad & Tobago?
I would say good. I’m very hopeful because we have great players like Freddie Ljungberg at Arsenal, Barcelona’s Henrik Larsson, Christian Wilhelmsson of Anderlecht and we have Andreas Isaksson – who once played for Juventus. In a tournament like the World Cup you have to consider that there will be some surprise sides. The fact that Greece won Euro 2004 should teach us all a lesson.
How do you rate the Italian national side?
They seem to be a very strong team. They are undoubtedly one of the favourites to win it.
If you had to choose, what would you like to win the most in 2006 between the World Cup, the Champions League or the Ballon d’Or?
First of all I want to improve on last year. But if we are talking about trophies, then my principal objective would certainly be to win the Champions League. That interests you more than the World Cup?
Let us just say that the Champions League Final takes place before the World Cup even kicks off. I won the Scudetto last year, which was of enormous satisfaction for me, and now my hunger is directed towards the European Cup. The World Cup and the Golden Ball come after – even if just in terms of time.
Who are Juventus’ greatest rivals in Europe?
The usual suspects really. Barcelona, Chelsea, Milan – who are our competitors on all fronts – and I would also include Real Madrid.
You’re one of the foreign players who quickly settled in Italy, even though Amsterdam and Turin are completely different cities. How did you manage the transition?
It wasn’t very difficult for me at all because I like Turin. It is a very tranquil place, while Amsterdam is a lot more chaotic, given the amount of people and traffic over there.
That’s odd because you seem like the kind of guy who would be more at home in Amsterdam than Turin…
No, that is not the case. I’m a very calm individual and that is why I spend the majority of my free time relaxing at home. After a game or a training session it is vital for me to recuperate my energy that way.
And what do you do to relax?
I listen to music or play video games. I particularly like Pro Evolution Soccer, but I also opt for strategy games. I often watch films too.
What kind?
I like going to the cinema and seeing the new releases. My favourite film of all time though is Scarface and it is no coincidence that Al Pacino is my favourite actor.
Are you dating at the moment?
Yes, I have a girlfriend. She is Swedish like me and her name is Helena Seger.
We spoke about Marco Van Basten a little earlier, but who was your idol when you were a boy?
I’ve always really liked Ronaldo because I considered him as a complete player. He can do it all – goals, assists, dribbling. But if we are talking about legends then I can’t ignore Diego Armando Maradona. He was the greatest of all time as far as I’m concerned.
What about defenders. Which one has made you suffer the most?
Italian ones, without any doubt whatsoever, as they are the best around. If I had to just give you one name then I’d say Alessandro Nesta. I really like him a lot.
