How the great figure of the ‘Derby della Mole’ ended up being Juan Guillermo Cuadrado last Saturday, December 5, after saving Juventus from defeat and providing two key assists (Weston McKennie at 77 and Leonardo Bonucci at 89) to tie and come back the match against Torino (2-1).

At the end of the match, Andrea Pirlo, Vecchia Signora coach, referred to the great moment that the Colombian lives in the season, which, with 7 assists, three in Serie A and four in the Champions League, is so far the maximum assistant of the team.

“He is a champion who has been playing high-level matches for 10 years, he is used to playing these types of matches”, specified the Italian technician.

However, Pirlo expressed his concern with the performance of the squad, assured that he saw a team lacking personality and desire to achieve victory.

“We cannot allow ourselves to play games with little personality, little desire, there are no more games won from the beginning. It is not enough to have strong players if you don’t put in tenacity,” he said.

Italian media, such as ‘Tuttosport’, described the Colombian’s performance as a ‘super performance’, giving him the best rating of the match.

The 32-year-old midfielder’s next challenge will be next Tuesday, December 8, when he faces Barcelona on the last date of the Champions League group stage.
