“I believe that those who were fortunate enough to receive so much out of life ought to give something back.

“For example, we were helped by the people of Livorno when we had the earthquake and we have now raised funds to help the victims of their floods.”

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini and Coach Massimiliano Allegri will be taking part in a charity match this evening for their hometown of Livorno.
