CB: Danilo (Juventus Football Club)
Juventus center-back Danilo put in a top-class performance for the Old Lady of Italian Football and helped the club earn a very valuable 1-0 away win against rivals Torino FC while adding the assist to Dušan Vlahović’s match-winner in the process.
Danilo: “I spoke to the lads before the game as I talk too much. I said that each of us needed help, to think that when I had the ball I needed help with a pass, when we didn’t have the ball we needed extra marking, extra closing, always to help our teammates.
