Juventus midfielder Douglas Costa says he's gradually adapting to his new team.

Douglas Costa is on-loan at Juve from Bayern Munich.

He said: “Bit-by-bit I'm getting acquainted with Italian football which, on a tactical level, is totally different from the football I played in Ukraine, Germany or with the Selecao.

“There aren't any technical problems, I'm adapting a step at a time and hopefully I'll be at my best soon.

“I'm learning a bit of Italian, which isn't too different to Portuguese and Spanish, languages which I'm already talking in the dressing room.

“At Bayern I played on the right, at Shakhtar [Donetsk] on the left and with the national team I've played more through the middle. It's no problem for me, I'm happy to give my contribution in any position.

“I'm not obsessed with getting a goal, but playing well and helping my teammates win, giving them a lot of assists.

“There are a lot of great players here, Juventus are a great team and it's normal that at this level there's a lot of competition, just as I had at Bayern and for Brazil.

“It's not a problem for me, it's a motivation."
