'It was a mistake to give Kenan Yildiz the captaincy!' Shocking words from the former Juventus footballer...

Kenan Yıldız, one of the captains of Juventus, continues to make a name for himself in Italy. While the 20-year-old is seen as the future of Juve, a heavy criticism came from the club's former player.

'There is no right environment for Kenan'

Massimo Mauro, one of Juventus' ex-footballers, had some shocking words about national player Kenan Yildiz. Emphasizing that Kenan is inexperienced, Mauro said: "The problem is that Kenan has not yet become the star player, the champion that Juventus needs. It was a mistake to give him the captaincy. He doesn't have the right environment to take charge of the destiny of such an important team. Maybe he doesn't have the leadership qualities. He can be a great number two, but he needs a number one alongside him. Del Piero initially played with Vialli, Ravanelli and Baggio. Even though he is very talented, it would be necessary not to put all the responsibility of a big team on the shoulders of one boy."

'There is always time to sell Kenan'

Mauro continued: "It is good to sign a player like the star, because there is always time to sell him, but he deserves to be among the highest paid players. But it has to become much more profitable than it is now: the more you win, the more you have to be a leader, you have to take responsibility, you have to perform at a very high level in many games, you have to score many goals".
