The job of footballer makes it dream for more than one but it can be more complicated than it seems, especially if you evolve in one of the biggest clubs in the world, namely Real Madrid. This is indeed what Danilo said in an interview with The Guardian.
The defender who recently left Juventus to join the Brazilian Club of Flamengo has made some secrets about his career. Danilo went through Casa Blanca from 2015 to 2017 and Real Madrid did not leave him only wonderful memories despite the two champions leagues won under the Madrid colors.
Auriverde (64 selections) has indeed said to have suffered enormously from the pressure to the point of having consulted a psychologist on the advice of his former teammate Lucas Silva: “ Real Madrid was the highest point of this problem, because it is the largest club in the world. I suffered so much that I had to consult a psychologist (…) Critics hurt me a lot. I was completely absorbed by them, on social networks, everywhere ».
Danilo revived far from Real
At the end of the 2016-2017 season, Danilo turned his back on Real and joined Manchester City from Pep Guardiola. A transfer that will do a greater property to the player. The Brazilian indicates that Pep Guardiola helped him a lot to go up the slope thanks to his methods: ”
Pep Guardiola educates his players. He leads them all to think football in the same way: time, space, movement, possession, balloon management ».
He then indicates that he has undergone what he is calling “Brain wash” from Catalan: “I was brainwashed on the part of Guardiola, but in a good sense of the word. What I experienced with him allowed me to raise my level and maintain it today. It was not that I was silly before I arrived at Manchester City, but I realized that I was playing football in the wrong way. If I had met him before, he would have greatly simplified my life. I'm so happy to have been able to play under his orders and have been able to learn from him. »» Today, Danilo seems to be better. After City, the player had signed up for Juve.
