In Italy criticize De Ligt while Juve gives the face for him

Matthijs Of Ligt is being one of the big disappointments of the season in Europe.

It has had numerous failures in the two months and half of competition that have played and in Italy doubt of him.

The Italian press does not forgive him one and every time that commits an error load against him with hardness. Against the Lecce, this past Saturday, committed a penalti absurd by hand that finished meaning the tie of the local group. The Juve​ left two points in the Via of the Mare and, for many, the main manager was the Dutch.

These situations suceden in the area and the instinct carries you to do it", began saying the ex milanista.

Bonucci, that knows to spare the complicated that it is to defend in the Series To when it is young, admitted that it was not fault of Of Ligt the tie and threw him a 'hood' in this bad moment. "When suceden these things have a bit of insecurity and is normal, but Matthijs has to feel comfortable because all have errors and bad moments. Has a big talent and trust he. If we do not win to the Lecce did not go by his fault, but by the one of all", recognised.
