Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci responded to Antonio Cassano’s comments that Juventus players are toy soldiers.

On RaiTre, speaking to Fabio Fazio, Cassano said he refused three offers from the Bianconeri because he believes they wanted him to be a toy soldier.

“I didn’t go there because they [Juventus] don’t want players, but toy soldiers,” he said.

“They always go straight, and I want to go right or left if I feel like it.”

A few hours before taking to the pitch against Denmark for the Italian national team, Bonucci felt he couldn’t remain quiet.

On his Twitter page, he responded emphatically to Cassano’s words with this brief message: “Much more than toy soldiers…Professionals!”
