Andrea Barzagli (45 Viewers)

[PedroFlu]

He was a monster during the match.

But I'm sorry to say that the first goal is mostly his fault.

At the beginning of the play, when Neymar received the ball in the elbow of the box, every one was on their man.

Neymar brillantly pulled back to the left to open space to Iniesta go in. The thing is that when Neymar pulled back, Licht was on there. Barzagli should have kept his position. He went after Neymar when Licht was already there. It was 2 defenders against 1 guy, and it left a hole in the middle. And that was that. Bonucci had to leave his position to defend Iniesta, and Rakitic was left alone.

It's really in a fraction of seconds decision, and Vidal should be with Iniesta.

But it all started with Barzagli falling for Neymar's movement and attraction, not paying attention that Litch was already there. And Vidal's lack of attention to follow Iniesta closely and disturb the play.

For me it's more on Licht's shoulders. HE didn't close down Alba properly, gave him too much space and time. Vidal was too late and Pirlo was watching.

Relax, he's a rotation/bench defender, we'll be fine it's not that long.

More room to Rugani

 

[PedroFlu]

Barzagli, Caceres, Asa... great depth... on paper..

Does anybody else still find it funny how unknown this guy is?

Best defender in the world and even after keeping 'The greatest footballer of all time' Messi quiet in a fucking CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL nobody knows who he is. Too funny when you think about it

 

[JCK]

How serious is this injury?

 

[mondo1]

Well it's 20 days, doesn't sound to serious

Somewhere along the line, Chiellini became the Italian defender people bothered to know of in other countries. Probably because people are obsessed with nostalgic 'old fashioned' stuff including players who will crunch you and then hoof the ball out for a throw in.

 

[DUKAC]

Anyway we will be without him on 8-th of August in Beijing for Supercoppa.

 

[HAZEM]

Chiellini still gets included in all kinds of lists of best defenders and gets 90+ ratings on video games.

Not complaining too much, things like that raise our profile but still I'd like to see credit where credit's due and Barzagli given his props.

In the same way, Gentile would be far more well known here than Scirea.

Does that apply to the rest of the world or is it just the UK?

I think the football media in general hype the same players, no? Japanese video game makers seem to evaluate players along the same lines, too. It must be fairly universal like that then.

Best defender in the world, but never to be a regular again. So what to make of him?
