Arriving at Juventus this summer from AC Milan, Pierre Kalulu has become a key part of the team led by Thiago Motta. The 24-year-old defender, used as both a right-back and a central defender, shone again during the 1-0 victory against Lazio, delivering a solid performance.

Kalulu praised by the Italian press

He not only mastered the duels and restarts, but also caused the expulsion of Romagnoli, proving his versatility and his playing intelligence. The Italian media were full of praise for him. La Gazzetta dello Sport gave him the best score of the match (6.5), emphasizing that he had made up for the absence of Bremer, the usual boss of the defense.

THE Corriere dello Sport was even more generous, giving it a 7.5: “Imperial strides. He led the action on the expulsion of Romagnoli. » With such performances, Kalulu could well attract the attention of Didier Deschamps, who has already indicated that he is closely following the development of the former Lyonnais.
