Turin's "Juventus" reacted touchingly to the death of the former "Stari Signora" player Gianluca Vialli.
Gianluca Vialli, Getty Images"A sharp sense of loss. We followed the news for days, hoping never to read it. And now we are looking at the screen, and emotions are raging inside.
We were always with you, Gianluca. From the time you arrived in 1992, it was love at first sight. You became one of the first Juventus players to return to the top of Europe. We loved everything about you, absolutely everything - your smile, your leadership on the field and in the locker room, your magical agility, your culture, your playing class.
As it was written, we are always with you. Therefore, even after the end of our shared history, we followed you in England with a smile. You brought a new model of Italian football there and were a trailblazer.
Afterwards, we were touched, because you, as a coach, lifted the Euro 2020 cup over your head with the Italian national team. Coincidentally, this happened in London. And even at that moment we were mentally raising this trophy with you, crying tears of joy.
Also, we have always suffered with you, including the disturbing news of recent weeks. This time we had to cry again, now tears of loss.
We will not be original if we write that we cannot imagine this world without Gianluca Vialli. Although we know that we have always been by your side, now on the contrary, you will be by our side forever," Juventus' press service wrote.
