Juve's Rugani biding his time
Posted Thursday, October 15, 2015 by Foxsports.com
Juventus centre-back Daniele Rugani insists he is not worried by his lack of playing time at the club and believes he will be ready when he gets his chance.
A product of Juventus' youth academy, Rugani re-joined the Bianconeri from Serie A rivals Empoli in the off-season following two successful campaigns with the Azzurri, but is yet to feature in the league for Massimiliano Allegri's side.
The 21-year-old, however, is staying patient as he waits for his first appearance and believes his versatility in defensive positions will serve him well at the Turin club.
"I haven't played in Serie A, but I have to be calm," Rugani toldGazzetta dello Sport. "I've just started with Juve. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, I just have to be ready.
"Am I lacking in cynicism? I think that's something people say, just for the sake of saying it. I'm cleaner than some others, but I never shirk a tackle.
"I can do the three roles in a back-three, but if I have to choose then I'd be best at centre-left or centre-right, playing in the middle isn't for everyone, it's more difficult."
