On the eve it became known that the new "ten" of Juventus will be Paulo Dibala.
Since the departure of Paul Pogba from the Turin club number remained vacant. Originally, it was predicted by the team's newcomer Federico Bernardeschi, but the Italian himself refused the "ten", saying that it was too honorable.
As a result, the same number went to one of the leaders of the current Juve Paulo Dibale.
"When I was asked to change the number, I thought for a long time, or it will be right," Paulo wrote in his Instagram.
"I really love the 21st number. Under it, I won a lot of trophies with Juventus. He belonged to such great players as Zinedine Zidane and Andrea Pirlo. With him on his back, I'm going to continue to speak for the national team ".
"Nevertheless, number 10 is special. It is a great honor and responsibility to wear it on a T-shirt, since it reflects the great history of Juventus ".
"" Ten "was on the backs of so many great champions - Omar Sivori, Michel Platini, Roberto Baggio, Alessandro Del Piero, Carlos Tevez".
"That's why today for me, a T-shirt with number 10 - a childhood dream that turned into reality. Now my zeal to win every game, every competition and every trophy will become even stronger, "- summed up the Argentinian.
Previously, the bosses of Juventus assured that the club is not going to sell Dibalu for any money.
