TURIN, Italy -- One recent afternoon, Weston McKennie walked into a pizza parlor.
In this part of the world, where he has emerged as one of the top midfielders in Serie A and perhaps Juventus' most consistent player, McKennie can rarely go out in public.
La Lampara, a restaurant run by the cousin of his personal chef, is a safe haven. He even stores a bottle of Hidden Valley ranch dressing, his favorite condiment, in the refrigerator to swirl on his pizza.
But in Leeds, where McKennie was chastised by fans for looking overweight, it all sounds like the start of a bad joke.
