If you know my husband well, it won’t take long for you to realize which Italian football club is his favorite. I first heard of Juventus only after I met him. And when he suggests taking a trip to Italy last month, I knew exactly where he plans to head to – Turin.

I told mso that Turin looks exactly like Putrajaya and was surprise to see more ladies in hijab there compared to Milan. We were all for Juventus the entire trip – the stadium (Stadio Olimpico di Torino), the headquarters and the store (which can be found at via Garibaldi)! It’s not difficult to fell in love with that place; it took me only minutes after I stepped off the train.

Here’s how his love for Juventus started..
A long time ago in 1996, mso teringin sangat nak main game Championship Manager di komputer. Memandangkan kelajuan komputer tak menepati requirements, mso spent most of his free time playing that game at his friend’s house. Initially, AC Milan jadi team idaman, but there was one team (Juventus) that he find it hard to beat in the game because they had so many talented players. Even more lepas abah took him out to shop for a Barcelona centenary home football shirt. Since the shop had a limited stock of size, they resorted to Juventus. He has been a loyal fan since then. Waktu ni ada ramai highly regarded players macam Zinedine Zidane, Gianluca Vialli, Angelo Peruzzi, Didier Deschamps, Edgar Davids and so on. His favorite player was and still is Alessandro Del Piero, Juventus all time-leading goal scorer. They were on top of their game back in the days (won the Champions League too!).

Venice is next.
