Capello Praises Yildiz After Juventus Victory Over Cagliari

Going to the heart of Juventus’s 2-1 win over Cagliari, Kenan Yildiz once again emerged as the centrepiece of the performance, earning glowing praise from Fabio Capello. The 20 year old forward scored both goals for Juventus after the team initially fell behind to a Sebastiano Esposito strike at the Allianz Stadium. This match marked the second straight game in which Juventus had to overturn an early deficit, following their 3-2 Champions League victory against Bodo Glimt earlier in the week.

Yildiz has now produced two goals and three assists across these two fixtures, underlining his growing influence in Massimiliano Allegri’s attacking structure. Capello, writing in his La Gazzetta dello Sport column, highlighted two key aspects that defined recent Juventus performances. He pointed out the team’s improved reaction to adversity and emphasised the rising impact of Yildiz, who first changed the game from the bench in Norway and then dominated Cagliari with a decisive brace.
