“Emre Can has this enthusiasm, this desire, that you see on the pitch because he carries his team-mates forward.” That was how Massimiliano Allegri summed up the German midfielder’s first season in Italian football. Can certainly has a battling mentality – something that allows him to help out in defence, where he draws on his intelligence and ability to read the game in a flash.**
The archetypal Emre Can performance: running, determination and hunger that inspires his team-mates and the fans.
Cool, calm and collected. The ball on one side, the keeper on the other. The German has become one of our penalty-takers.
Can was a Juve supporter as a boy: there can be nothing more exhilarating than living your dream.
