Danilo full of pride being Juventus captain

Danilo is full of pride being Juventus captain.

The Brazil defender also explained why he wears the No6 shirt for the Bianconeri.

He said, "First of all I chose it because it is important for the history of Juventus, Scirea wore it. And then it is a number that anyone can wear, a defender, a winger, a midfielder... which is a bit like that what I do on the field."

On the captaincy, Danilo also said: "Proud, very motivated and with a lot of responsibility, being the captain of Juventus means being watched by the whole world."

He continued: "The most important thing for defenders is communication, you see the games from behind and therefore you also have to talk to teammates. The first thing is to understand that mistakes will always be there, when they happen the thing to do is to immediately think about the next action at least you get over the moment immediately."
