De Ligt explains why he had a Juventus shirt at the age of seven

The Dutchman published a video on Instagram called "First day as a Juventus player, first day of a new adventure," which starts with a photo in which he is wearing a Juventus shirt and appears alongside two friends. 

The image caused anger on social media where fans criticised the fact that all footballers say they have supported that club since they were kid whenever they sign for a new club. 

"To play for this club is a dream that I had since I was small." It does not matter how many times you hear it, but it is usually when a footballer joins a new team. 

As a result, De Ligt was asked in the press conference and did not hesitate to stress his feelings for Juventus, despite the astonishment of my people on social media. 

"It was from 2006, I admired Fabio Cannavaro. I have always like Juventus, I have always been a fan;" the Dutchman made clear in order to put an end to the controversy. 

Funnily enough, that very summer, the Juventus and Italy captain won the 2006 World Cup in Germany and moved to the Santiago Bernabeu to sign for Real Madrid.
