"The hardest thing at first [after leaving Milan] was finding a place to live in Turin. But it all happened quickly because I arrived at the end of the transfer window and the matches started right away. You don't have much time to think. I found a welcoming environment and even people who spoke French, so it was easier to settle in."
"There were several [difficult moments]. When I signed for AC Milan, I didn't play at first: I only trained for five months. It was difficult. Then came the injury and the operation. Watching others play isn't easy. In those moments, you have to have a goal: a big one and one for every day. Even improving a small thing. Because everything passes: the good and the bad."
Pierre Kalulu's departure from AC Milan to Juventus remains contentious among fans. Milan's decision to sell the French defender to fund the signing of right-back Emerson Royal backfired, as Emerson has struggled significantly. The trade was questioned because Kalulu could play right-back despite it not being his primary position, and strengthening a rival for minimal compensation frustrated supporters. Kalulu quickly demonstrated his value at Juventus, validating concerns about the transfer. In his second season with Juventus, Kalulu reflects on his transition, noting initial challenges finding accommodation in Turin but appreciating the welcoming environment. He discusses career difficulties including an initial five-month period without playing at Milan and subsequent injuries, emphasizing the importance of maintaining daily goals during challenging times.
