Juventus starlet Emanuele Zuelli felt he was ‘in front of the TV’ when he made his debut against Arsenal last week and was ‘impressed’ by Angel Di Maria and Paulo Dybala in training.
The 21-year-old made his first appearance with Juventus’ first team in a friendly match won 2-0 against Arsenal this past Saturday.
“I’ve already washed the shirt, and I want to keep it in my closet, I am excited to have made my debut, it’s a dream come true,” he told Juventus’ Twitch Channel as quoted by Ilbianconero.com.
“For a second, I thought I was in front of the TV, as if I was watching such an important game. Now, I dream of debuting in Serie A.”
Zuelli has been training with the senior team a few times this season, sharing the pitch with some of the best players in the world.
“Do Maria and Dybala and Dybala have been the most impressive ones,” said the Italian midfield.
Dybala left Turin at the end of his contract in June, joining Roma as a free agent. Both El Fideo and La Joya have won the World Cup with Argentina in Qatar.
English wonderkid Samuel Iling-Junior is another emerging talent at the Allianz Stadium and extended his contract with the Serie A giants on Monday: “I like him very much and he earned the renewal on the field,” said Zuelli. The Bianconeri starlet also named some of his teammates who may catch the eye in the future.
“Barrenechea has great technical qualities, but I also like Compagnon. He has a great shoot. For defence, I say Riccio and Barbieri.”
Starlet?! Nobody even heard of him.
