Boom of followers (15 million) with the arrival in black and white of Llorente, Deulofeu and Pereyra in addition to De Paul and Samir
UDINE. Udinese is not liked only for the solidity that Luca Gotti has given them. Udinese is also liked on social networks, in that virtual world that in the last year, thanks to the pandemic we are experiencing, has taken on even more importance, given that even at the local level there has been no contact with the favorite player or with favorite team at the stadium.
The Juventus club has spread the numbers of followers by putting its official profiles and those of the players in the cauldron of high popularity: 15 million counting Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. But by observing carefully, it is precisely the protagonists on the field who manage to amplify the image of Friuli in the world, given that – quoting the counts – Llorente brings in dowry 5.25 million “followers”, Deulofeu 3.4, De Paul 1.1, Pereyra and Samir 1. In a nutshell, a photo posted with an indication of the location, from the stadium to the favorite square, is enough to make our land known to a fair number of fans around the world. Also because the tenor of the messages has now become standard: family life and that on the pitch are also intertwined on the Juventus profiles, including greetings to relatives and friends, celebrations for victories and posts on personal records.
At the level of singles, Udinese pointed out that with the purchase of Llorente, Deulofeu and Pereyra over the last six months, 11.6 million followers have entered the Juventus world. A number far from that of the absolute stars of football, even if it is curious to report that among the 234 highly selected profiles followed by Leo Messi there are Deulofeu, De Paul and Pereyra, friends met over the years at Barça and in the Argentine Selección.
The last social observation concerns the official profiles of the Juventus club. If the big clubs are unattainable (over 96 million followers for Real Madrid, 47 for Juventus among the Italians), Udinese will have to aim to add more fans to the 180,000 who now follow it on Instagram. But for this you need the results of the field, as confirmed by Atalanta’s 539,000 and Sassuolo’s 209,000: the more you win, the more they look for you, even on social networks.
