Italy defender Leonardo Bonucci is hoping his “crazy decision” to join Union Berlin pays off at the European Championship next year.
Union and Italian club Lazio offered a way out. Bonucci opted for the former — a team that was only promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time in 2019 — despite the difficulties of learning another language and leaving his family in Turin. He said he wants to broaden his perspectives.
Bonucci said he wants become a coach after his playing career, and the move to Germany will help him experience a different lifestyle, style of play, training methods and outlook.“We spoke in Italian, this is the most important,” Bonucci joked. “No, we spoke principally about my situation because in Juventus I did 50 days’ training with two or three players. It’s completely different to do training with the whole team.
“It’s difficult, but I know we’ll improve,” said Bonucci, who said defending in the Bundesliga is “completely different” than in Serie A because defenders need to cover more space in Germany. Olympiastadion has more than three times the capacity of Union’s Stadion An der Alten Försterei, but the decision to move has been criticized by some Union supporters.
