Juventus gave Chiellini a new mandate with the same feeling, about what?

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini must retire a long time ago. Even so, the 35-year-old will not be lazy until the end of the recovery process.

As is known, Chiellini suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury or commonly abbreviated as ACL. Injuries are often a scourge for all athletes and are not limited to the world of football, but also to other sports such as basketball.

Not long ago, Chiellini underwent surgery in Austria as a first step towards wound healing. Later, it was learned that the defender had subscribed to the Italian national team for a while for six months.

Automatically, his usual role in the field, namely as a captain, must be occupied by other players. Facing Napoli, that role was pinned to another senior defender, Leonardo Bonucci.

Old mandate from old understanding

As a general rule, injured players will not engage in club activities to speed up the healing process. Instead of playing, these players are usually not allowed to sit on the bench.

But something different happened to Chiellini. According to Tuttosport, Chiellini was allowed to sit on the bench and act as captain, but left. This applies when Juventus leave.

During his duties, Chiellini will be accompanied by physiotherapists and medical staff. Of course, the aim is that the player's recovery process is not interrupted by "new roles with old feelings".

Previously, Chiellini was also seen on the field when Juventus faced Napoli last week. After the match, he seemed to give the defender main defender Kalidou Koulibaly a big mistake.


Successor Chiellini

His captain in the field is now used by Bonucci. While the position he left was occupied by a new recruit from Ajax Amsterdam, Matthijs De Ligt.

So far, the Dutchman seems unable to adapt to his new environment. Facing Napoli, De Ligt accused two of Juventus's three goals behind this goal.

During that process, De Ligt seemed unable to provide a close escort to the Napoli striker. Juventus also barely get three points from the match. Luckily, Koulibaly's goal allowed the Bianconeri to win 4-3.
