Best wishes to the new signing by Mariella Scirea

On the days commemorating the 20th anniversary since the demise of Scirea, Fabio Grosso does not hide his pride and the emotion of starting his adventure in black and white with the number which for many years belonged to the unforgettable Gaetano. «Wearing jersey number 6 of Juventus – said Grosso contacted while at the Coverciano camp – will be an honour and a great privildge. Wearing the number of Geatano Scirea, a football legend, a man who is still of an example to all footballers, contributes to making me feel part of an extraordinary history of sports immediately. I hope to deserve the faith of the club and re-pay the supporters and my team mates for the affcetion withw hich they greeted me». Mariella Scirea immediately sent her best wishes to Grosso: «I am sure Fabio will know how to wear that jersey with the right personality, honouring it with the commitment and fair play that were typical of my husband. It is nice that 20 years later, a world champion will be wearing the Juventus number 6 jersey and especially that he is conscious of the meaning that jersey has to all supporters».
