Former coach of Emre Can reveals what may have influenced decision to join Juventus
On Del Piero and Juve-he was raised in the Juventus myth, with Del Piero as a reference. I told him: 'Look at him, you have to kick like him'. In my house he has always seen a shrine dedicated to the Lady: for those like me Juve represents the Italian sentiment, the link with the origins. I like to think that, almost unconsciously, I transmitted this attraction to him."
"I was the second coach of a team in the area called SV Blau-Gelb. My superior did not want to take Emre because he never passed the ball ... After the second training they gave me the responsibility and I immediately said: 'If he remains here, he will become a phenomenon'.
“It goes beyond football. I am an immigrant like his father and his mother from Turkey”
On joining Juve- "He always knew that if he went to Juventus, I would have been the happiest man on Earth, but I told him that he had to make the best choice for his career, so never go to Inter ... Seriously , last year I told him that he was not ready for Juventus, now he is 110%>”
