Juventus begins preparations for the new season. Wojciech Szczęsny takes over the number after Gianluigi Buffon.

Contrary to the initial information and media gossip, Wojciech Szczęsny did not decide to play the following season in shirt with number 23. On Monday it was reported that the Polish goalkeeper will take the first number after Gianluigi Buffon, who in May ended his seventeen-year career at Juventus. In the new season our number one will be Szczęsny - Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri announced at the end of previous games Serie A. Clear declaration did not prevent the Old Lady's bosses to make an interesting move in the transfer market and buy one of the best Italian goalkeepers - Mattia Perina from Genoa.

Over the years, when Gianluigi Donnarumma's talent was not yet revealed to the world, he was announced the successor of Buffon in the Italian national team. However, the injuries effectively stopped the promising career. According to the Italian media, Massimiliano Allegri really liked the scheme from the previous season, when having two equal goalkeepers he could rotate freely, without fear of losing the level between the posts. 

Yesterday most Juventus players appeared on the first training and medical tests in the new training center of the Italian champion, which will now be located near the stadium, not in the Vinovo region of Vinnitsa. Wojciech Szczęsny, like other Old Lady footballers who took part in the world championships, got a few days off.

What do you think about this change?
