| Sebastian Giovinco admits he is frustrated at a lack of playing time at Juventus but refuses to criticise Claudio Ranieri.
The Azzurrini starlet is by many as one of the brightest prospects in Italian football, but his role has been very limited this term.
After playing just three minutes against Genoa yesterday, some newspapers have suggested that the diminutive playmaker is livid, but he seems very calm.
“I am very happy for the team and our difficulties are behind us,” Giovinco stressed.
“Of course I wish that I was playing more, but I respect Ranieri's decisions, especially because of the way Alessandro Del Piero is playing.
“But there is no rivalry with Alex and he will continue playing for lots more years.
“It is difficult to imitate what he is doing at the moment, but I will try and will keep watching him in training so that I can follow his example on and off the pitch.
“As for filling Pavel Nedved's role, I don't have the same characteristics as him, but I am ready to step in if that is needed.”
Giovinco has started just two games this term after being called back from a loan period at Empoli.
