VOTD: Fernando Llorente presented as a Juventus player

"Fernando, you agreed to terms in January, what the hell took you so long to get here?"

Okay, so that would be a terrible first question. And even though they make up stupid rumors that give us nightmares sometimes, they're smart enough not to ask Juventus' newest player — even though he agreed to a move to Turin way back in January — something along those lines.

But this day has been a long time coming for Fernando Llorente. He wanted to sign with Juventus last summer, but was prevented from doing so because Bilbao wanted some serious money for his services. Beppe Marotta intelligently backed out with reasoning along the lines of "Why the hell would I pay this much when I can get him for free a year from now?"

Well, that's exactly what happened.

Llorente is finally able to sport the Juventus colors after agreeing to sign with the club on a free transfer in January and spending most of the season on the sidelines during Bilbao's games. He arrived in Turin on Monday to complete his medical and is set to begin his career with the Italian champions when he is presented to the Italian media 24 hours later on Tuesday — or, right about now.

That's where you come in.

Much in the same way of Carlos Tevez's press conference last Thursday, Llorente's press conference will be streamed live here thanks to the good folks at the Juventus press office. Just click the video, it's that easy!
