#W8NDERFUL - Leonardo Bonucci

Some performers are set apart by their elegance and are clearly recognisable by the coherence and consistency with which they express themselves.* Leonardo Bonucci falls into this special category: he always plays with his head up and exudes confidence in every situation. It was not hard to predict that his ‘sequel’* with the Bianconeri would be a roaring success.

The football pitch is like a stage. Those with charisma are able to command the space around them. It’s not magic; it’s what footballers and performers do.

Instinct is a fundamental quality and one that’s never missing from goal-scoring defenders. Leo rounds off Juventus’ early-season win over Napoli.

Illusionism? No, quite the opposite. That’s the wonderful contrast with theatre; when you’re out in the open air, it’s all real.
