Bremer: “I’m better now – I will ask Chiellini for advice about the injury”

Juventus defender Gleison Bremer recently shared insights into his recovery, experiences at the club, and his journey as a footballer in an interview with Juventus Young Reporters. The Brazilian center-back, currently sidelined with an injury, expressed optimism about his recovery and reflected on various aspects of his career.

“I’m doing well now. The worst is over, and I’m slowly recovering,” Bremer stated, addressing his current condition. He also revealed his intention to seek advice from Juventus legend Giorgio Chiellini about injury recovery, saying, “I’ve spoken a lot with Chiellini in the past. We would have made a great pair. I’ll ask him about the injury he also had and try to understand what he did to return to his level.”

Discussing the atmosphere at Juventus, Bremer highlighted the team’s camaraderie, mentioning Pinso and Gatti as particularly entertaining teammates. He also expressed his deep appreciation for wearing the Juventus jersey: “Now that I’ve been out for almost two months, I sometimes dream about it at night. It’s a beautiful feeling. It’s a historic shirt that has won everything. It’s the strongest team in Italy, so it’s a unique emotion.”

Bremer shared insights into his pre-match mentality, emphasizing concentration and mental preparation. “I’m not afraid, but I’m focused and do mental work to stay calm on the field,” he explained. He also discussed how he supports his teammates while injured, mentioning a team WhatsApp group where he sends encouraging messages before matches.

The defender revealed his transition from midfield to defense early in his career, crediting a coach for recognizing his potential in the backline. He also touched on the challenges of balancing sports and education as a young player, advising that with proper time management, both can be achieved successfully.

Bremer acknowledged the mental and physical adjustments required when joining a club of Juventus’ stature. “When you arrive here, all eyes are on you, and it’s normal. When you don’t perform at your best, everyone criticizes you, but if you work well mentally and physically, there’s no problem,” he stated.

Reflecting on his move from Brazil to Italy, Bremer described it as challenging but crucial for his development as a defender. “Italy is one of the best schools for defenders. I became who I am because I worked hard, and this helped me become who I am now,” he said.

The interview concluded with Bremer emphasizing the importance of adaptability in modern football. “Every team is different from the other, and today’s football is modern and changing a lot. Before, defenders just defended, but now they must play well and adapt. Training and adapting are key,” he asserted.
