Juventus midfielder Stefano Sturaro believes that he possesses the quality to help strengthen the Old Lady’s midfield but insists that no one can ever take the place of Andrea Pirlo.
The 22-year-old could be given more of a chance to shine on the pitch now that Claudio Marchisio may be out nursing an injury and he admits that while he’ll be looking forward to showcasing his talents, he’s still upset that his team-mate is injured.
Sturaro spoke to Gazzetta.it about his opportunity to prove himself in the Juventus squad and commented on his ability to change his position in the midfield, while also praising Juve legend Pirlo.
“I have been able to benefit a little from Marchisio’s injury but I’m obviously still disappointed,” said the Italian.
“It will be better for all of us if he can be able to play in the Champions League with the team.
“I think I can play three different roles in the Juve midfield, although I would never be able to do what Pirlo does.
“Nobody in this world can do what he does.”
