Danilo, from leader to captain, from goal to renewal? Here’s what’s missing

At 31, the defender hasn’t missed a single league game this season, actually playing 16 (out of 17) for 90 minutes. And on Saturday he scored his sixth goal for Juventus. But that might not be enough

It is said of a captain that first of all he must set an example. And what better example, for a defender, to be found in the opponent’s small box four minutes from the end of a match that he already knew was 0-0? Looking at Danilo, who turned 31 last July, is to be believed. And to see in him the leader, the man-symbol and the true driver of this Juve for a long time without a boss who now really plays until the end, indeed especially at the end.
