Matthijs de Ligt now feeling settled at Juventus

Matthijs de Ligt now feels settled at Juventus.

Juve splashed out €75m to sign De Ligt from Ajax over the summer.

“I'm getting used to how the lads play. Beating Bayer was good," he told Veronica after yesterday's 3-0 win against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.

“Right now, things are going well. I was Ajax's captain and there I was able to have my say, whereas here I had to find my place. Now I feel like I've found it and I'm happy about it.

“Italy is known as a country with defensive teams, but the trend is changing: just look at how high they defend.

“We have a new Coach and I'm not the only one who has yet to adapt. Unfortunately, I started badly, but it's about improving every day and every game.

“It's what I'm doing and it's going well."
