The Inter Milan defender has expressed his surprise over the blunt words of the Brazilian during his presentation at Juventus, and has stated that the veteran used to be a very quite person at San Siro.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrea-Ranocchia-c5708 has been startled by Lucio’s speech on his presentation to media at Juventus, and has stated that he has known the defender to be a man of few words during his time at Inter Milan.
The Brazilian World-Cup winner was relieved from his contract at San Siro with mutual consent, and chose to join rivals Juventus on a bosman transfer.
The move proved to be a controversial one with the 34-year-old making many remarks on his relationship with his former club.
Andrea Ranocchia stated that Lucio hardly used to say anything during his tenure with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan, and admitted that the outspoken press conference by the Brazilian has left him surprised.
The Nerazzurri defender added that a probable explanation of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucio-c22597’s behaviour could be that the player is making efforts to adapt to his new environment.
The Brazilian was part of the historic Beneamata team under Jose Mourinho that won the treble, but Ranocchia was adamant that the fan must look ahead to the future.
The former Genoa-man stated that he respects the veteran defender, but insisted that he will meet him as an opponent when they come face to face again.
While talking to the press, the 24-year-old said:
“When he was at Inter he was always a man of few words. Evidently he is trying to immediately adapt into his new environment…Lucio is now part of the past. He’s now at Juventus and we’ll say hello to him as a rival when we first face each other.”
The opportunity for the former defensive partners to come face to face with each other could come on Saturday, when Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus will face each other in Trofeo TIM at Bari.
Lucio in his presentation ceremony at Juventus sided with the Bianconeri’s claim of 30 Scudetti, and the statement has been central to the controversy arising on the move.
