On the day of his 100th appearance in Serie A, Andrea Cambiaso he found himself captain. “A new dream that becomes reality – he wrote on social media after victory – an indescribable emotion that I will carry with me forever. Until the end”. According to the Corriere dello Sporta choice also dictated by the full-back’s recent statements, a true manifesto of Juventus.
Every morning Thiago loves to read (or be told) journalistic reports: well, that day he seems to have greatly appreciated the words (even in their human dimension) of his footballer, convincing himself of how the idea he had already had in his head for weeks – the band in Cambiaso – it was the right one. From the relationship with his teammates to the respect for newcomers, from the effort to get to the top to the gratitude of being in the right place: the class of 2000 spoke as a leader. “I’m proud of the admirers I might have – he told us, answering a question about Real Madrid’s interest – In any case, Juve is my Real. I have renewed until 2029 and I would like to stay as long as possible”.
Cambiaso and Gatti were entrusted with the task of emotionally guiding the group. After being almost moved by the news, on the pitch the new captain responded with his usual determination and with an even more ferocious tactical application: as a tall winger he moved at the right times and in the defensive phase he canceled out the Tavares train.
