Amauri: Joining Parma was no mistake

Parma striker Amauri has revealed that it was not easy for him to leave Juventus, but he still believes it was the right decision.

The Brazilian has kick-started his career at Ennio Tardini while helping Parma escape the danger zone.

“It wasn’t easy to leave a big club. It’s not easy for anyone. But I had the desire to throw myself into things again and get through the bad period I was experiencing with injuries and skepticism,” Amauri told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I only wanted to play with continuity. It’s a vicious circle: You’re injured. You don’t play. And if you don’t play, you can’t get back into form. I need continuity for my physique.

“From the first day I thought that my decision to join Parma was the right one for the atmosphere around the club: the players, the President and the director of sport who immediately put me at ease.

“They have given me great confidence. It was a while since I had felt this faith towards me.”
