Quotes from Giorgio Chiellini

The most important thing when deciding on a club are the traditions of the team and the project of the club - what it is they want to do in the future.

We Italians are always criticising ourselves.

Juventus fans know a lot about him, but in Italy we love Mourinho for his success.

I don't know if I can change things but I just want to put smiles on the faces of the children. I cannot put into words how it makes me feel.

Gigi is an extrovert. He's always smiling and there are no airs and graces about him. He's always a role model for his team-mates, both young and old alike.

By joining Common Goal, I hope I can encourage the younger generation of players to think about social responsibility in their lives.

How do you mark Ronaldo? You try not to leave him alone and don't let him shoot on his right foot. As for Messi... you just make the sign of the cross!

The truth is, I admire his mischief, because if Suarez were to lose that, he would become an average player.

I was never the best in my age group. I was like the Ugly Duckling because I am not beautiful to see but I always improved. That is my best skill.

When you face Spain it's not a normal friendly.

If you want to go all the way in the Champions League, you're always going to face Barcelona, Real and Bayern Munich in rotation.

Playing as captain of Juve and the national team, with 500 games for Juve and 100 for the national team, it gives you a different serenity.

As a team-mate, the one who taught me the most was undoubtedly Fabio Cannavaro.

Mario Balotelli is undoubtedly the greatest talent of Italian football.

I always say that Juventus should be judged in March and you can see why. We have found a system that gets the best out of the quality we have in the squad and ticks all the boxes.

It is nice to pick a squad or train players for 30 minutes, but I do not like the life of a coach.

We don't want to make the same mistakes twice, though I tend to take the positives from past experiences, even unhappy ones.

Who's destined to be the next world star and collector of Ballon d'Or when Cristiano and Messi stop playing? It's the Frenchman Kylian Mbappe, a truly unique player!

Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar - Kane has been on that level. He is one of those players that is irreplaceable and I am sure that Tottenham will be doing all they can to make sure he stays.

Balotelli is a negative person with no respect for the team.

Conte is correct - talent needs to be nurtured on a daily basis with hard work.

I go hunting for my opponents high up the field, and I put stock in physical one-on-ones and winning individual duels.

Thinking of stopping Kane one-on-one, just me, is not going to happen.

I don't think my determination has ever put me into trouble because of this, in fact, I think it is one of my main strengths and makes me the player that I am - without it I wouldn't be the same.
