Juventus attacker Chiesa: When I first met Buffon I started crying - according to Dad!

Juventus attacker Fede Chiesa appreciates the leadership of Danilo.

Chiesa says the defender has become a great club captain at Juve.

He said, "Danilo is a great leader.

"He is always a helping hand to really make people understand what it means to play for Juventus, to be part of this club and this great family."

Chiesa also recalled the first time he met Gigi Buffon when a toddler.

The son of Italy striker Enrico Chiesa said: "I know Gigi from my time at Parma, even if I don't remember it well because he picked me up when I was really little.

"I remember a scene that my father always tells me when he came into the house and he had this gelled hair and as soon as I saw him I started crying. But it's obvious that when I met him at Juventus it was truly a pleasure to play with him and see him every day because he is a legend of this sport."
