MANZDUKIC TO REMAIN AT JUVE TILL 2021
Mario Mandzukic’s Bianconero career will continue until 2021. The official notice of his contract renewal was confirmed today and it is news that the Bianconeri fans will warmly welcome, because ‘Mister No Good’, on the field, totally contradicts the nice nickname. In fact, having someone like Mario in front of you is good, very good.
Physical, determined, decisive, capable of self-denying every area of the pitch, ‘Marione’, as he is affectionately known, is the prototype of the modern attacker. Equipped with considerable capacity, he knows how to combine play and technique, which are usually characteristic of players far more concise.
For four seasons at Juventus, he has already collected 159 appearances and scored 43 goals. But perhaps the figure that best describes Mario’s attitude on the field are the 19 assists given to his companions. Generosity is a rare gift in attackers, yet Mandzukic blatantly refutes the cliché. His leading headers are the signature of a dominator in the penalty area, but also the signal of unselfishness, which acts as a multiplier of effectiveness for the companions.
