During a special feature titled “The Best is Yet to Come”, Turkish young sensation, Kenan Yildiz, has offered some insight into his future prospects with the iconic Italian club, Juventus.
The forward, born in 2005, indicated that he found in Juventus the best opportunity for his future after his stint with Bayern Munich came to an end. He fervently recalled his first experience stepping onto the field representing Juventus. He said, “You did not know until the day before if you would play or not. There were more Juve fans than Udinese [fans] at the stadium; it was noisy.” The source of these direct quotes is the special feature produced by the club itself.
He went on to share details about how he was filled with nervous energy. “When I was warming up, I was trembling a little, I must say,” he recounted, describing the moment he heard his name being announced on the pitch. “It was like a ‘Wow’ moment.”
Yildiz’s mention of an overwhelmingly strong Juventus fan presence sets an interesting backdrop for the context not only of his future with Juventus but also the club’s support base. His unabashed account of the anxiety and excitement of his debut provides a refreshing perspective on the struggles and triumphs of professional football players. Whether this promising star will rise to the occasion and meet the lofty expectations at Juventus is something only time will tell.
