Speaking on stage after picking up the award, the defender expressed hi gratitude to Juve for the faith they have shown in him:

“I felt an enormous emotion, but the important thing is to be back home with the three points.

“In the standings, we remain on Inter’s heel. They are very strong but It’s not just them. Milan, Napoli and Roma also have solid squads.

“It’s still early, it will be a very tough championship, but we’re in the mix too. The trust has always been there, then the results help us gain awareness. We have to keep our feet on the ground, there are still many goals to achieve.”

“Juve has given me a lot, I will always be grateful to this club. I also have to thank Mister Allegri. Feeling the coach’s trust is very important for us players.

“Are we the favorites against Napoli? No, it will be an even match. They are the reigning champions and have a very strong team.

“In attack, Osimhen and Kvara are very dangerous, then they also have Zielinski and Di Lorenzo. It will be a good match, but a hard one.”
