MILAN – Italy and Juve defender Andrea Barzagli has had his say on the next generation of Italian defenders in an interview on the Juventus website: "I’d say that there are two names which really stand out: Daniele Rugani and Alessio Romagnoli. Beyond that pair, however, there’s a lack of emerging talent and I’m not sure why. I think we need to place greater trust in promising youngsters, who obviously need to be good enough to play. Rugani and Romagnoli have proved this already, but I hope that the next crop of players can produce more top-quality defenders still."
The veteran also looked ahead to this weekend’s match at the San Siro with Milan: "No team should ever presume that they are stronger than the others. Over recent years we feel like we’ve deserved to win the silverware we have, but we continue to keep our feet on the ground. The secret to our success is not merely the quality of our players, rather our mentality, the importance we place in donning these colours and our will to win each season."
