Juventus attacker Yildiz: Goal celebration a tribute to Del Piero

Juventus attacker Kenan Yildiz admits his goal celebration against Frosinone was a tribute to Alex del Piero.

Yildiz says he's celebrated scoring by sticking out his tongue like Del Piero would ever since his youth days.

He said, “For me, this is too great, thanks to everyone. To the fans, they are crazy, look at them! Thanks to the coach who gave me a chance, Grazie a tutti, Grazie mille.

“I did (the celebration) already last year with the U19, he [Del Piero] is a legend.

“The mister is a great coach to me; when he told me to cut my hair, I didn't wait, and I did what he said. Thanks for everything. He told me to be calm and I had a chance today.

"We are a team, we fight for the fans and everything. We hope to end the season first. Let's see."
