"Juventus" season started poorly. However, lately Massimiliano Allegri's pupils show better performance, started to collect more points in "Serie A" championships, and one of the reasons for the improving game is defense. Although Matthijs de Ligt's game also fluctuates at the beginning of the season, the young Dutchman kept a clean sheet in three consecutive matches with "Juventus" (against "Chelsea", "Torino", and "Zenit"). In the latest interview given to the DAZN channel, veteran Giorgio Chiellini spoke well of M. de Ligt. "He has all the qualities, but the difference is in his head: he is 22 years old, but his mentality is like that of a 30-year-old. He sets goals for himself every day to improve. Matthijs de Ligt is a fantastic player, I call him Toru (Toru is a very strong, imaginative character from Marvel comics). I hope Mino Raiola will allow him to stay in the ranks of Juventus for many more years," - the experienced Italian commented on the young Dutchman.
