Skipper Bremer sets sights on European glory to cement Juventus legacy
Juventus captain Gleison Bremer aims to leave his mark on the club's history as they prepare to launch their Europa League campaign under Luciano Spalletti.
Juventus captain Gleison Bremer has declared his intention to write his name into the club's history ahead of their UEFA Europa League opener against NEC Nijmegen at the Allianz Stadium. The Brazilian center-back emphasized the squad's collective ambition to launch a commanding continental campaign under head coach Luciano Spalletti.
Reflecting on the responsibility of wearing the armband, Bremer cited legendary former defender Gaetano Scirea as a major inspiration. While avoiding direct comparisons due to the immense pressure, the 29-year-old is determined to forge his own path through hard work, leaning on his aggressive style, physical strength, and aerial dominance to support the team's success.
So many defenders have made history here, especially Gaetano Scirea. It would be really difficult for me to compare myself to them because the pressure is enormous. But I hope I can leave my mark and I will always give my all on the pitch. Gleison Bremer
Bremer also offered high praise for Spalletti, noting that the manager has provided the clear tactical direction needed to accelerate the team's development. He expressed complete faith in the project, stating that working under the coach daily is sharpening his individual qualities and helping the group reach its goals.
As the Bianconeri prepare for the visit of the Dutch side, Bremer made no secret of his desire to lift the trophy. The defender believes Juventus possesses the quality required to go the distance, with a victory in the opening match viewed as the perfect springboard for their European ambitions.
