Sebastian Giovinco’s impressive performances have Juventus supporters calling for the starlet to be given more playing time, and coach Ciro Ferrara has moved to assure fans that the youngster is an important member of the squad, even if he is rarely in the starting XI.
“I do not consider ‘Seba’ a replacement, but an important player, who must use the opportunities given to him,” he explained, according to Tuttosport.
“When Diego is out, he has always been used.”
The young playmaker recently promised to “deliver” for Juventus, but has also bemoaned his status in the squad, as he is primarily used as a substitute.
Giovinco made a positive impact for Juventus last weekend, coming on for the injured Diego and helping the side to a 2-0 win over rivals Lazio to maintain their perfect record after three Serie A rounds.
He is expected to start against Girondins de Bordeaux this evening.
