That\u2019s why this kind of decision was preferred.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe parameters were different, I had already spoken about it, no one has ever questioned Paulo\u2019s ability. There were considerations to be made about appearances, length and financial considerations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe made our choices in January, we got here. It would have been easy for Juventus to make a low bid, but it would have been disrespectful towards Paulo. The decision is made.
