The team was relegated, and then Real Madrid asked me to come

Remember Calciopoli, the match-fixing scandal that plunged Italian soccer into darkness in 2006? At the center of it all was Juventus, the "absolute powerhouse" of Serie A. 

Even the best of the best didn't get away with it. Juventus was relegated to Serie B (the second division). Juventus started the 2006-07 season in the second division. They were so dominant that they moved back up to the top division after just one season. 

Your team has been relegated to the second division. No one will blame you if you leave the team. It's common sense, realistic, and personal. However, there are players who defy common sense, deny reality, and put their personal interests aside to stay with the team. One such player was Claudio Marchisio. 

He worked hard in the second division, helped the team win promotion to the top flight, and became a Juventus legend. He started as a Juventus youth player and made it to the first team in 2005, where he played for 12 seasons until 2018. A total of 389 games. In total, he won 15 trophies, including seven Serie A titles. He"s one of the most beloved players by Juventus fans. 

For him, Juventus wasn't just a professional soccer team to make money; it was his life, his soul, his team. Marcicio was born in Turin, Italy, and naturally became a Juventus child. He grew up wanting to play soccer, joined the Juventus youth team, and became a first-team player. After all this, he couldn't abandon the team, even if they were relegated to the second division. 

Even more impressive, when Juventus were relegated to the second division, they were approached by the best team in the world, the team of every player's dreams, the Spanish giants, Real Madrid. How could any player not choose Real Madrid in this situation, but Marcicio rejected them. He stayed at Juventus, the club that was his life. It's a choice that speaks volumes about the size and depth of his love for Juventus.  

Marcicio relived those memories through the Spanish 'As'. He said: "I've always loved Juventus.
