Boumsong: I Love Juve & Am Sad To Leave
New Lyon defender Jean-Alain Boumsong has issued an emotional farewell to Juventus, saying that he is very sad to leave the club he loves, and would always be open to a return if possible.
The French stopper has completed his loan move to French champions Lyon, a transfer that should become permanent in the summer.
Boumsong joined Juve in the summer of 2006 for just under €5m from Newcastle, and was a regular in last year’s Serie B promotion campaign.
However he has barely featured under Claudio Ranieri this term, and a move away from the club this month was inevitable.
“I love this shirt, I love Juve,” declared Boumsong.
“I gave everything for the team and now I am somewhat sad. Life is strange, if one day the Bianconeri were to ask me to return, I will do so gladly.
"For me, tomorrow, I begin a new life, I need to play. I've no regrets because I had few chances since the change of coach."
Boumsong ended his 18 month stint at Juve with the perfect leaving present when he came on as a substitute last night to score a headed equaliser against Inter in the 2-2 Coppa Italia quarter-final first leg draw at San Siro.
It is now the 28-year-old’s intention to play regularly for Lyon in a bid to earn a place in Raymond Domenech’s France squad for Euro 2008.
