Di Maria focused on Juve’s goals at the moment, not World Cup

’ new player

Angel Di Maria

insisted that his focus is on the Bianconeri now and he will help

in their World Cup pursuit later this year.

Di Maria made a move to Juve last week after departing Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent. The 34-year-old has penned a one-year contract with the

side.

"The same Di Maria as always has arrived, who wants to win at all costs, who hates to lose and wants to be a champion: I think Juve chose me for this,"

said Di Maria, who has been joined by Paul Pogba in signing for the Bianconeri.

"The most important thing will be to work hard and I will try to do my best.

"My head is now solely and exclusively at Juve. I came here to win and work with this great club. We will think about the national team when the time comes to think about it. I want to win with Juventus.

"The World Cup is one of the best experiences for a player, but it is essential to have your head focused on the present. I repeat, I will always do my best for Juve. I always give my best to every new beginning and it will be the same here."

Quizzed why he chose Juventus, who ended their Serie A season sitting fourth in consecutive campaigns, Di Maria said: "Juve is Juve, they have won many titles and they are a great club that now has a great desire to return to the highest levels.

"I want to make this happen. It will be important to form a united group.

"I chose Juve because they are the most important club in Italy and have all the credentials to be able to win. I know it's a strong team and I want to be part of this team. If they have looked for me, it means that they believe me to be up to it.

"If an important team like Juve is looking for you, it is almost impossible to say no. They waited patiently for the end of my contract, I really wanted to come here. I was calm with my family, and the right moment came."

Di Maria also talked about a Juve great playing a crucial role in his decision to make a move to the Bianconeri.

He said: 

"I have a good relationship with Gianluigi Buffon. I also talked to him when I signed the contract.

"He wanted me to come to Juve and I think being here is very nice. I am calm and I will do my best to help Juventus win."
