Pazienza: ´I ran out of patience with Napoli´

Juventus midfielder Michele Pacienza has spoken about the reasons behind his move from Napoli.

In a news conference, Pacienza revealed that he felt under-appreciated at Napoli where he made 106 appearances in four seasons.

He also claimed that because the club was unwilling to talk about his contract situation for so long, he decided to look elsewhere.

“I waited for Napoli until February,” said Pacienza, 28, who Napoli bought from Fiorentina for 4.8 million euros in 2008.

“I have to say they didn’t show me full trust until it was too late, because I waited until February and after then I decided not to meet them anymore and to wait for the season to finish first.”

“Then Juventus contacted me and I didn’t think about it too much.”

Pacienza said he joined Juventus because they showed belief in him, and the midfielder also spoke of his delight to join the famous club.

“I came here because I felt the club believed in me,” he said.

“I’ll try and give my best in order to have a place in the team, I’ll try and make a contribution to help the team to achieve their objectives.”

“I’m really enthusiastic and happy to be part of this great team and I really want to do well here.”
