Giorgio Chiellini, Juventus legend and now Head of Football Institutional Relations, recently spoke at the Sala Borsa in Bologna during the Bulgarelli Number 8 award ceremony. His words (as quoted by Calciomercato) offered a candid look into Juventus’ current mindset and aspirations, reflecting both ambition and humility in a time of transition for the club.
Working Toward Victory, Embracing Challenges
Chiellini addressed the ongoing efforts within Juventus to return to the pinnacle of Italian football. “We work every day to win again as soon as possible, but we must also accept defeats and roll up our sleeves,” he stated.
The Legacy of the BBC and the Future
The conversation also turned to the possibility of reuniting the iconic defensive trio known as the “BBC”-Barzagli, Bonucci, and Chiellini-within the club’s future management. Reflecting on this, Chiellini remarked, “Bonucci and Barzagli in the future Juventus? We have already done so much together on the field. The club has gone through many cycles in its history, and it is all part of a journey.”
A Touch of Humor and Perspective
Known for his wit, Chiellini also took a moment to joke about his own career. “The coach who gave me my debut was a brave man!” he quipped.
