You remember his first season at Juve? Would he have finished around the 13 goal mark had he not got injured? Or this season, if he gets more game time? Playing at Juve is very different from playing at Ascoli, Sampdoria, Torino and Udinese. Even the Napoli stint, he didn't play for almost half the season coz Mazzarri chose to buy and play Cavani. He has not had a fair shot at Juventus, and quite honestly, still done enough to earn a starting streak. But look at Gio, Conte persists with him even though he's not the most prolific striker himself. Talent without opportunity means nothing.

Good that he expressed it. Hopefully Conte is going to notice that we have strikers who believe in themselves and eir ability to help the team.
