I love him, but he was clearly not 100% fit, and he knew it himself, In these times he shouldn't think about himself, And Prandelli should be sure :sergio:

exactly. You could see he didn't push it vs Germany. Balzaretti who was having a very good EURO should of started and Italy may have avoided that 1st goal.

Take your time Chiello.

So when you see these sort of injuries it makes it that much clearer why we need depth. Don't like Lucio but if he can come in and give our boys some rest then his free transfer makes complete sense.

I hope conte gets the best out of Lucio and If so our back line is rock solid.

We all knew that a fit Chiello would've handled that first goal. It's a world class pass and run from the Spaniards but his anticipations were perfect; looks to me he couldn't make himself run with pace and made a risky tackle at the very critical moment.

a 70% fit chiellini would have prevent this goal. srsly wasn't to hard to shut them down there. but this guy was rushed back to even make it to the euros was than rushed back to play vs germany and he paid the price in the final. no way he could have been fit against germany let alone spain. 3 injurys in such a short period for a player like giorgio just shows that he was never really fit. i feel so sorry for him and for me because i praised him so much infront of my friends and now they are all like "woow chiellini is such a great defender..."
i hope will get barca in the groupe stage and send them packing with giorgio putting messi in his pocket and the world will be ok !

People were in denyal, but i was pretty sure he was not even ready for germany, let alone spain.

In fact, we were risking him for a very serious injury.
