“For me it is an incredible emotion to be the Juventus captain – says the midfielder – and I am extremely proud of it, but today I do not want to talk about me but to mention a legend of the club, Gianluca Vialli. He was an extraordinary man and also a captain, there is his phrase at Continassa,” with teamwork we win “. We have a single goal: to return to win with this shirt”. Then it’s up to Igor Tudor: “Welcome to our house, being here in this heat means only a lot of love.

A few whistles for Vlahovic to reading the formations and others when it touches the ball, for the rest it’s just a big party. At the interval Elkann, who wore the number 10 shirt with John written (tribute to Kenan Yildiz), then replaced by a white shirt during the most institutional moment, went down to the sidelines accompanied by the family and sister Geneva, also with her children, and greeted the men’s under 16 teams with other managers and the women’s spring who paraded with the trophies.

“It is a fantastic moment for Juventus to find yourself in the family – said the number one of Exor to Dazn -. Today is a bridge between the present and the future.
