The Atomic Ant has explained why he chose not to leave the club and underlined his intent for the rest of the season…

Juventus ace Sebastian Giovinco believes he was right to stay on at the club and fight for his place, as he explains his new found taste for success.

The Italian youngster has been outstanding when he has been given the chance to play. And he was one of his sides’ most outstanding players during the 5-1 win over Sampdoria. The story could have been so different, though, as Giovinco was linked with a number of clubs earlier in the campaign. However, he now feels his decision to stay on is starting to pay dividends.

“I play for one of the best teams in the world and I have the good fortune of doing it in my city, so why should I have left? I am aware of what I have in my locker,” Giovinco told Tuttosport.

While ‘La Formica Atomica’ is enjoying the moment, he is well aware that Calcio can either make or break a player.

“You only need to make a couple of mistakes and you get hammered,” added the playmaker.

“I remember what happened with Gianluigi Buffon. It seemed like he couldn’t save anything, but now we are all talking about the best goalkeeper in the world, there needs to be more balance.”

Giovinco believes the key to his success is the fact that he has had his put his nose to the grindstone in training, and he is also hoping to rediscover his goalscoring touch soon too.

“I let the facts do the talking. The facts are in training with the work. Words count for nothing in football,” added the youngster.

“The goal is what I am missing. I am not a striker, but goals give you security and they raise your self esteem.

“Look what happened with Amauri. He didn’t score for eight months and then he got one and the flood gates opened.”
