Bernardeski moved to Juventus from Fiorentina, where he played at number 10, and it was expected that he will choose the "top ten" and as part of the Turin club.
Nevertheless, Bernardeski decided to take the 33rd number, because he believes that he is not yet ready for the "dozen".
"I think I did the right thing.
First you need to prove that I deserve to play under the 10th number, as I proved it in Florence, "said Bernardesci.
"I really like the 10th number, but, I repeat, I must earn it, which I will try to do in the upcoming season".
"I took number 33 because I'm a believer and a religious person".
In the composition of Juventus under the 10th number played such legendary football players as Roberto Baggio, Alessandro Del Piero and Michel Platini.
