Capitano Giorgio Chiellini (18 Viewers)

Why dont you start and be the first one?

Because I stick to abusing Juve players for their footballing ability and steer clear of personal insults.

Because Chiellini has earned to be treated with respect and can afford a mistake or two.

All Juve players should be respected.

There is a little clash because Legrottaglie is calmer and plays the ball more which compliments Chiellini with his instinctive and sometimes rash style. Cannavaro can put his foot on the ball but is another who prefers to go to the ball and can jump in a bit.

Well said.

Anyone noticed that whenever Chiellini plays next to canavarro he tends to be poor !!

When Legro came in in the second half i've felt that both those players are better off playing together.....

Yeah! thats why i think Cacers + Chellini will form the best partnership as Gorgio provides the cover and depth while Caceres provides the deadly tackles.

As for why Canna + Chellini sucks...i think coz whenever they are together Canna loves to be the brain while when Chellini plays alongside Legro he becomes the brain and that suits him just fine.

He became world top defender on my eyes!!!I rememba him since Livorno 2001, he is arleady our legend, just 24 years old and arleady 106 games for JUVE..I hope he'll end his career in JUVE like Neddy DP Gigi, he'll be our and squadra azzurra 2nd Gaetano Scirea!!!!!!FORZA CHIELLINI AKA "GEORGIAN"

I think to suggest a brute like Chiellini is in any way like Scirea is rather unfair on Scirea who, by all accounts, was an excellent footballer.

A Chiellini - Gentile comparison might be slightly more accurate.

For me, always, best juve defender will be Scirea,and there is no "new scirea", i just mean that Giorgio can be same icon!!!but damn!!!!! he is arleady icon!!!!! like Gaetano......

Chiellini is the Gentile of the team, he has great worth and deserves his reputation as one of the best young defenders around (he is only 25 later this month).

I would say the last two Italian defenders to get to this level, starter for a team like Juve and Italy, at a similar age were a certain Fabio Cannavaro and Alessandro Nesta, although he has different attributes to both, especially Nesta.

Chiellini doesn't face nearly as much competition for a national team spot as a young Nesta or a young Cannavaro did, though.

if look in future, on WC 2010 Italy main central def's will be Cannavaro - Chiellini 99.9%, but after WC2010,Euro quali + euro 2012, what do u think, who'll be Chiellini main partner in central defence zone in Squadra Azzurra?!?

 

[Luca]

He's no way near the level of those two at their prime all mate. Not a chance.

Yes , u are right, but don't forget, that Chiellini played previous seasons(2000-2006 before Serie B) on LWB position, and lets talk truelly - he wasnt best choice on that position in National Squad Roster!!And its only because Andrade was injured, and we was without good central defenders in squad, Ranieri put him in central def zone! and whats happen then everybody knows ))))

 

[JuveJay]

That is true, although I think Chiellini has earned both shirts with his performances, notably in big Serie A games and his arrival match for Italy against Spain in Euro 2008.

Nesta and Cannavaro were special defenders in their peak, the biggest problem now is that no-one man marks. Well Giorgio does. He doesn't have their finesse as he is physically different but he isn't a complete lumbering donkey, he did play left back for a long time, even further forward.

Chiellini is the type of defender who will make the odd mistake because of his style, he tackles anything that moves.

I didn't say he was the level of those two, I said he is the first since those two to get to a level where he starts for a top team and his country.

He would have ended up as a CB sooner or later anyway.

The injuries just sped the process up a bit.

Bocchetti.

u mean Salvatore Bocchetti ?! i don't think so....Andrea Barzagli still on.......

 

[Red]

Barzagli.

Does he even make the Italy squad any more?

 

[Luca]

As much a good defender he has been for Italy he's had his fair share of stinkers too. He's gotta mature still, he is doing so but he goes still goes caveman at unnecassary times.

 

[Luca]

Barzagli.

Was he even making the Wolfsburg starting XI?
