Juventus, Pirlo:”We were too superficial at beginning, De Ligt is captain material at 20”

"The objective was to enter the pitch with a different approach but when you play these matches that on surface appear easy, you can be met with difficulties. We were too superficial and then when you have to play catch up" this is what Andrea Pirlo had to say following Juventus' win against Ferencvaros this evening,

The bianconeri's manager was also asked about De Ligt:"He's a significant return, he's a champion in every way. He's captain material already at the age of twenty- Pirlo told Sky Sport- and we've been waiting for him for awhile. He allows us to be more offensive but also maintains the team tight. Arthur? Today he was stubborn about keeping the ball more, and looking for the most direct solution to open the pitch. But he's improving, also from the phsycal aspect"
