"Being coached by Pirlo is special," the 20-year-old told Rai Sport.

“He was a strong player and he has great ideas even as a coach, in a few months you will see his real Juve.

“It's thrilling to live the season with the first team. I hope to win the Scudetto and score some goals."

Portanova added: "I stayed at Juve because I had a constant dialogue with the club and with the coach, from whom I feel considered.

“I hope there will be other opportunities to start a game as it happened in Crotone. I was told I would play from the beginning three days before the game. What a joy it was."
