'Lichtsteiner one of the best’
By Football Italia staff
Moreno Torricelli has crowned Juventus’ Stephan Lichtsteiner as one of the finest right-backs presently in the game.
The Swiss international joined the Old Lady in the summer from Lazio for €10m and he’s been an ever-present in the club’s Serie A starting XI since.
“Lichtsteiner is doing very well,” Torricelli, himself a former full-back in Turin, told Radio Mana Mana. “He is demonstrating to everyone just how good a player he actually is.
“Lichtsteiner, in my opinion, is one of the best full-backs in Europe and I hope he doesn’t stop performing so well.”
Torricelli spent six years at Juventus where he played in Marcello Lippi’s mythical side alongside present Juve boss Antonio Conte.
“There are similarities between this team and the Juventus I played in,” added the former Fiorentina man.
“They play with the same velocity, high pressing and the squad is very similar. This is an excellent team.
“Antonio is charismatic, he was an excellent captain who is pays close attention to every detail. His DNA is Bianconero.”
