Chiellini's strengths and weaknesses are there to see. Maybe having a more rounded defender back there would be beneficial in the long run but you won't find a better fighter back there. Caldara will most likely take that role but he is more of a modern defender.
I felt sorry for him, he wanted this as much as Gigi, he even tried to attack several times running back and forth like crazy, and then you see someone like Darmian who can't pass or cross from his neutral position and you know how fucked up things are.

Had the exact same impression, he kept pushing and even on a yellow was still tackling 'inch perfect' to recover the ball and help the team in atack, he was a beast last night and when i think about his contribution in general for Italy he has always been a solid rock at the back... Chiellini along with Buffon are the last players that people should point fingers at, they gave it everything for the azzuri!
It's hard to perform when presented with an incredible handicap. He goes from prime Barza, Bonbon, Alves, Buffon, and in form Sandro to being surrounded by a cripple, a has been, and a lamp post.
People taking shots at Chiellini lol :sick: but no-one says anything about the fact he been showing better playmaking skills and vision willingly gettin more involved than anyone else lately... that already is obvious enough to tell that it was our underperforming(Both defensively and offensively) midfield and poor finishing/decision making in atack that cost us the game yesterday.
Chiello did his second best performance of season in defensive way and passes were not great i will agree and also that dribbling skills chiello has man he is op if he tries to dribble and also can someone tell me or show me why did he get a yellow card ?
