Former Juventus star Fabio Cannavaro says Andrea Pirlo is the player capable of making the difference in the Serie A title race this season.
Turin giants Juventus lead Serie A having picked up 11 points from their opening five games, and Cannavaro believes that Antonio Conte’s side are capable of maintaining their early season form with the deep-lying playmaker in midfield.
“The transfer of Andrea Pirlo from AC Milan to Juventus shifted the balance in Serie A,” Cannavaro told Tuttosport.
“He is 32 years of age, and at that age I won the Ballon d’Or.”
“The beginning of the season with Juventus and Italy is surprising only to those who underestimated one of the strongest players in the world throughout the last decade.”
Juventus travel to Chievo on Sunday hoping to extend their unbeaten run to six games as Serie A resumes following the international break.
