Claudio Chiellini, Giorgio's agent and brother:
"It is true that he has made some mistakes this season, but people act like Juventus' problem is Giorgio Chiellini," Claudio said to Tuttosport.
"The media attacks are excessive in my opinion. It looks like they're after a scapegoat after every disappointing result. Giorgio doesn't deserve this treatment. He has done a lot for Juventus in the last six years and was the best defender in Italy for three seasons.
"These are pretty unfortunate episodes though, as it seems as if every minor mistake he makes results in a goal at the moment."
