No chance Demiral playing ahead of de Ligt. When he returns he will be starter along Bonucci and Danilo/Sandro. If we play four at the back Demiral - de Ligt partnership wuold be nice.
yeah I see the backline as Danilo-Bonucci-De Ligt-Sandro when everyone is fit. And I’m also assuming Pirlo meant it when he said it’ll always be a back four, because I still think we could run a traditional three man backline ala the bbc days.

I think he knows that as well, he's a smart guy, but he'll want to complete the season. We should have De Ligt back soon anyway.
Definitely time to retire soon. Still has the know-how and the experience to be a top class CB at this level, but his body is sadly starting to breakdown. Can’t be relied on anymore.

I wonder if we’ll see Alex Sandro deputise in the LCB position this season?

An absolute beast and the one of the last of a dying breed of no nonsense defenders who put their body on the line every time. It's no surprise that his body is breaking down but it's such a shame.
