A biography for Leonardo Bonuccihasn’t been written yet.
“At Juve you always have to go onto the field ready to give your best.”
“I have to prove everything on the pitch.”
“The national team should unite under one flag, leaving out the club stories.”
“The Juventus that I know has always shown more hunger than their opponents.”
“Unfortunately, it is part of Italian football and our culture to come to the stadium and whistle players for the choices they make.”
“The decision to go to Milan, as everyone knows, made me mature as a man. It was a big chance and perhaps too big for the man I was at the time.”
“I understand the fans, I respect them. I'll accept the whistling and booing. It's up to me to transform that all into applause.”
“I feel I have the Juve shirt sewn to my body because I breathe it every day, but wearing the national team shirt is also an honour.”
“Being captain of the national team is definitely something you can feel.”
“I watched a lot of Alessandro Nesta videos, as he had similar characteristics, studied carefully and applied myself.”
“I hope to do with Milan what Pirlo did with Juve.”
“I have the fortune of playing with world-class stars.”
“My motto is 'from difficulties up to the stars.' I got a tattoo to represent that when I used to sit in the stands at Treviso.”
“The objective is to be competitive from March onwards.”
“What interests Chiellini and I is not conceding goals. We're able to create chances and it makes us happy when we take them.”
“It is exactly in tough times when we discover our full potential, it allows our mind and body to push ourselves beyond our limits.”
“As I said in the past, when I chose to come to AC Milan I knew I would go through good and bad times.”
“Allegri is very good at managing the locker room in the most difficult moments of a season, to make the team understand how to manage the time of a match.”
“As a lad I missed five months of sporting activity to OSD. It used to wake me up at night with pain in my knees.”
“The important thing is that when somebody isn't in top form, there is another ready to replace him.”
