When you think of Juventus, there is not one person that represents the club better than Giorgio Chiellini. However, growing up, things were different for the Juve captain: "I was a fan of Milan, unfortunately, but then I smartened up." He made the remark during Junior Reporter, where he fielded questions from kids: "My favorite player was Paolo Maldini, but from when I joined Juventus I fell in love right away and now I think it would be difficult to find a person who is more 'juventino' than me."

"To be the captain of Juventus is beautiful, but even a great responsibility. It's enough to see the captains that came before me, I had the fortune of playing with them and I saw them as examples because they are special people and they helped me a lot with my growth. The strongest opponents I've faced? Excluding Ronaldo and Messi, who are like aliens, I'd say Ibrahimovic. Zlatan has physical strength, he's fast, technical, and has personality. He is tough to play against. My gorilla celebration? I like animals. I thought of it together with my friends, I wanted a celebration that characterized me."

"Do I have fear in matches? Definitely, in all of the games. But I transform it into something positive. A little fear is positive, because it allows you to remain concentrated."
