Sao Paulo midfielder Hernanes has spoken of why his move to Juventus wasn't successful.

Hernanes felt he was played out of position at Juve.

“All I've done in recent years has been to try and grow and reach my goals," Hernanes told Lance!.

“At Juventus I played for little more than a year and improvised as a mediano [a deep midfield role], a role I don't like, but I learned and I grew.

“On the pitch, despite my 10 years in football, you're constantly learning. In China I played in a different position with respect to my previous experiences.

“At Inter I was a trequartista and I did very well, so much so that Juventus bought me, but I had to improvise in another position because of other needs. I regret agreeing to play that role.

“It's all part of the process though, my history. I had to go through all these positions, teams and countries to figure out what's best for me."
