The Juventus chief was talking to the press on the eve of unveiling their new kit, and hopes that the coveted jersey of the legend will find worthy shoulders.
Andrea Agnelli has stressed that it is up to the players in the Juventus squad to decide on the successor of the coveted number 10 shirt, after the retirement of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Del-Piero-c4726 from the Turing giants.
The Bianconeri unveiled their new jersey for the upcoming season which was without the controversial stars, and the club patron took some time to reflect on the plans for the coveted number 10.
Agnelli stressed that considering the patronage of Del Piero and the level of all the other great players that have worn the shirt, it will be a difficult task to inherit the number 10 jersey for any player along with all the expectations that will follow.
The Bianconeri President stressed that he will have no say in selecting a successor for the shirt, and insisted that he will love to see the players decide the matter among themselves.
The Old Lady patron stressed that he has seen many great names of the game wear the particular number at the Turin giants, and is hopeful that the next person to wear the jersey will live up to the honour.
While talking to the press, the Juventus President said:
“The players will decide. We all know how much that particular shirt will weigh. We have had some excellent No 10s in our history and we hope that whoever gets it next can have the same amount of success in it, or perhaps just a little bit less than who
wore it last.”
The new Juventus jersey although without the stars will come with the words ’10 won on the pitch’ in Italian language.
Moreover, the inside of the collar will also exhibit the historic words of the legendary Giampiero Boniperti- ‘winning is not important, it is the only thing that matters’.
The home kit’s design follows the usual black and white theme; with players name appearing in black on white background, while numbers will appear in white over the contrasting colour.
The away kit is set to be pure black, while the alternate kit will remain the pink shirt from the last season.
