WIDE RESONANCE IN THE ITALIAN PRESS

Following the match, the Italian press dedicated extensive coverage to Kenan Yıldız. Head coach Luciano Spalletti also spoke highly of his young player.

Spalletti said, "Kenan Yıldız is a champion. He has the characteristics of a number 10. He has the ability to score match-winning goals. Our system gives him the freedom to approach the goal. In tight spaces, he knows when to make that extra touch. He needs to improve his two-way game with and without the ball, but he is a top-level player."

La Gazzetta dello Sport stated in its report, "Kenan Yıldız is in his best form as always, and he also has everything Juve needs. He is a number 10, a winger, but also a center-forward, because when the number 9s play poorly, he is there."

Tuttosport's headline was, "Kenan Yıldız carried Juve in the league as well." The report included the following assessment:

"Kenan Yıldız continues to enchant. He put on his usual show against Cagliari, scored two decisive goals, and proved once again that he is the driving force of Juventus. Another impressive performance."

Corriere dello Sport wrote, "Kenan Yıldız took down Cagliari with two goals. Juve is back on a winning streak in the league."

Sky Sports Italy also drew attention to the young player's goals, stating, "Both of Kenan Yıldız's goals against Cagliari were worth seeing."

HE LEFT DEL PIERO'S RECORD BEHIND

The Cagliari match was a historic night for Kenan Yıldız. With the goals he scored, the national footballer broke an important club record held by Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero. Thus, he earned the title of the youngest player in Juventus history to reach the 20-goal mark.

Additionally, Kenan climbed the list of players who have scored the most goals for Juventus under the age of 21 in Serie A, surpassing Pietro Anastasi to take seventh place on the list.

POST-MATCH STATEMENT FROM KENAN YILDIZ

Speaking after the match, the young player said, "Spalletti allows me to feel free and play as I wish. I am very happy because of the fans' chants; they always give 100 percent for us. Del Piero's record? I don't look at statistics, I want to play well."
