Juventus midfielder Hernanes has been speaking to Jtv about his renaissance with the bianconeri. He began by explaining that; “I’m happy to be back and I feel in good form and it’s a good time for me”. He continued; “Strength to overcome adversity has always been my philosophy on life. Looking back, I have been through other difficult moments in my career and this has been helpful”.
 

Asked what his coach Allegri told him about the jeers from the fans Hernanes replied; “He asked that I should be left alone to so I could perform my job correctly, For me however, it was more than words, what really counts is feeling good about yourself and your body”. He continued; “I’m finding it better to understand the coach now and the way he wants me to work in my given role. There are certainly some great players in the team who can help me”.  

On his thoughts about potential Scudetto rivals he declared that; “We are still at a very early stage of the season and it will not be easy. Roma, Inter and Napoli will certainly be in the race for the title”. On the European campaign Hernanes stated that; “In the Champions League we need to return to what I stated earlier and that is the togetherness of the group. The game against Lyon will be difficult but we want the three points to give us the advantage in the group”.
 

Finally, Champions League or Scudetto, Hernanes once more; “I don’t want to choose I want to give 100% and be as successful as I can. I came here to achieve just that”.
