Del Piero crowns Yildiz: “It’s right to give him the number 10 for Juve. A wonderful, amazing goal”

Alessandro Del Piero crowns Kenan Yildiz, Juventus’ new number 10, who this evening scored a goal that for years has been the trademark of the historic Juventus captain. “His goal is wonderful, amazing, curled to the far post. It’s the type of shot I like. They scored it long before me and many have scored like that since. But it’s really beautiful, this ball that goes down and then comes down paints a wonderful trajectory. And then when the ball goes under the top corner it’s a real pleasure… Going back to Yildiz: he’s a healthy boy, you can see he hasn’t let it go to his head but he took the responsibility of wearing the number 10 without making too many speeches. A lot of things are said about young people, about waiting, but what does waiting mean? He’s showing things that are right to reward with this shirt too”, he said.
