Juventus'
Sebastian
Giovinco has
announced
his desire to
wear the
No.10 jersey
next season,
which was
vacated
following
Alessandro
Del Piero's
exit from the Turin squad.
The forward returned to his
boyhood club from Parma this
summer, and has seen his
coach and a handful of
teammates charged with
involvement in the
Scommessopoli's match-fixing sindicate.
However, the 25-year-old is
hoping to put the turbulence at
the club behind him, and he is currently
looking forward to making an
impact with the Bianconeri squad.
"Compared to the past it's
different for me, but I prefer to
focus on the present," the Italy
international player noted.
"It will be strange to play
without [Antonio] Conte on the
bench, but we must be stronger
than this and make no excuses for faliure."
Giovinco, who has worn the
No.12 jersey in training, went
on to comment on the
availability of the No.10 shirt
following club legend Del Piero's
exit and vacancy of the shirt.
"If that's definitive, I like it,But if
Conte were to give me No.10,
I'd be glad."
Juventus' first competitive
fixture is scheduled for August
11, when the Serie A champions
meet cup-winners Napoli Fc in the
Supercoppa Italiana game.
