De Ligt, the response to Bonucci’s criticism has arrived

De Ligt’s words

The back-and-forth between De Ligt and Bonucci continues.

The Dutch defender who moved from Juventus to Bayern Munich returned to his previous statements, which had triggered the anger of his former teammate.

“I only said that finishing fourth with Juventus is not enough. It was not an attack on Juve, in fact I will always have the utmost respect for this club. For me it was just a fact that no one could be satisfied, that we have to raise the bar, including me! Perhaps it was detected incorrectly.”

“I will never forget how my former teammates helped me in my development as a footballer and as a person, to root myself in the club. In Louis van Gaal and Massimiliano Allegri, for the first time in my career, I had two coaches who did not put me in the starting lineup. Before then I always had coaches who were fans of me. At Juventus I learned that everything really has to come from within you.”
