Last summer, Claudio Marchisio was forced to make a fatal decision with a heavy heart - to leave the Turin Juventus club. The 32-year-old Italian spent a decade at the Serie A club, but had to leave for Zenit in St. Petersburg due to a lost place in the team. "Everything happened very quickly, in a very short period of time," the midfielder explained the events of the summer. "I always tried to make the right decisions and wanted to find a team where I could play more. So, I don't regret doing it, life goes on. Of course, I still want to win. Then in the locker room, I talked to Gianluigi Buffon and Andrea Barzagli - their advice was very important. Why did I choose number 10 in Saint Petersburg? For various reasons, but mainly because of Alessandro Del Piero. He has been my idol since childhood and the number 10 at Zenit was available."
