Mario Mandzukic has explained his decision to take the No17 shirt at Juventus.

The number is David Trezeguet's old shirt.

“I'm not going to promise a certain number of goals, I just promise to always make myself available for the team and do my best.

“As for my number, I've chosen 17, because of my beginnings in Croatia in the second division, and when I started with the professionals I kept 17.

“The number 17 is also what I wear for the national team, I had the opportunity to choose, so that's what I did. I hope it will be lucky for me, as it always has been."
