Mario Mandzukic

“I've never considered leaving Atletico because I'm happy here.”

“Let's be honest, the style Guardiola wants at Bayern doesn't suit me.”

“I'm happy to be in a big club like Juventus.”

“Guardiola disappointed me - he did not treat me with respect. He did not let me become the top scorer in the Bundesliga. For me things were twice as good when Jupp Heynckes was in charge.”

“In my professional life I do not have to like everyone, but when I feel negative energy with someone I try and avoid that person.”

“I've always been against taxing diets.”

“At Bayern it was fantastic. It's a fantastic club.”

“Guardiola took the decision to not play me in the DFB-Pokal final. He did not want me to win the trophy as top scorer, so he did not let me play during the end of the season. It was not really so important for me, but I felt it was a lack of respect towards me.”

“The media exaggerate little things.”

“Turin is a beautiful town, I like it and I like Juve.”

“Pirlo and Tevez are extraordinary players and any squad would miss them.”

“I'm a fighter like Ibrahimovic, my idol.”

“I could not have chosen a better path after leaving Bayern Munich.”

“As a kid, I watched many of Gigi Buffon's games and dreamed of scoring against him one day.”

“Juve think always of the future. There are already new reinforcements.”

“Once a Dinamo Zagreb coach saw me while I was eating a pizza and severely scolded me, telling me that I would be fat, I had to think about my health. In response, I ordered 10 pizzas and managed to eat 5, so next time he will have a strong think before treating his players in a bad way.”

“I had proposals from England, but I believe they would have had to adapt to my style.”

“It's so special to do something with the national team.”

“I hope that my first appearance at a World Cup will be marked with a positive outcome.”

“I realised that I had no future at Bayern, so I resigned myself to leaving the club and had to choose a new destination.”
