Platini not sure Kenan Yildiz best represents a Juventus 10

“Alessandro Del Piero, he was a great player, and one of the icons of Juventus,” replied Platini.

Paul Pogba was also given the shirt, but had even fewer of the necessary characteristics for this position.

“He has good technique, but he’s a midfielder, not a Number 10.”

Now Kenan Yildiz has been awarded the very special honour of wearing the Juventus 10 jersey.

Although he is very creative, his positioning under Tudor has raised a few eyebrows so far this season.

“Nobody puts a Number 10 in the centre now, but on the wings. You’d have to ask coaches why they do that, not me,” shrugged Platini.

When Argentina international Paulo Dybala was in the Number 10, he did namecheck and thank Platini as a player he adored from the past.

“I thank him for that, I was told about it.”
