Trust in the talent of 'Panita': Brazilian legend surrenders to Juan Cuadrado's experience.

Juan Guillermo Cuadrado is a player who always generates divided opinions in Juventus. While for some, he was one of the least performing players last season, for others, he carried the team in critical moments. One of those who recently surrendered to the Colombian's game was Rivaldo.

That's right, the legend of Brazilian football who won a World Cup with the 'Canarinha' in Korea and Japan 2022, praised Cuadrado by placing him as one of the key elements in the game of the 'Vecchia Signora'.

Although for many, the arrival of Paul Pogba and Ángel Di María will take away protagonism from 'Panita,' the former FC Barcelona star believes that this will not be the case. On the contrary, he believes that the Colombian midfielder, who has occasionally played as a full-back or winger, will continue to be decisive in Massimiliano Allegri's scheme.

"I think Cuadrado will continue to be an important part of the Italian team as he has been all these years because he is a great player, and after the signing of these two great players, the Juventus team has many possibilities of becoming the champion of Italy," commented 'Rivo'.

After signing his contract extension, Juan Guillermo Cuadrado will play his eighth season with the 'Juve' and this time he hopes to help his team become a protagonist in the Champions League and Serie A. In recent years, the growth of Inter and Milan has left Turin in the background, so now they will have the task of recovering the position they have always had in Italian football.

Juventus will play their first friendly match on Friday, July 22 against Chivas de Guadalajara. Subsequently, they will face two difficult tests: on the 26th against FC Barcelona and on the 30th against Real Madrid, the reigning champion of the 'Orejona'.
