Monteiro, invited to analyze the current situation of the Turin club, in a live broadcast on Juventus, spoke about DT Andrea Pirlo and club codes.

“He makes more of a difference than Cristiano Ronaldo,” said Monteiro, who played for Juventus between 1996 and 2005 and is now a coach. “He’s like Garesha: he’s impressive.”
