Chiellini: «Shame we didn't win, we'll improve»

The season's first 0-0 draw came in Genoa. The novelty comes from Juventus not scoring, because a clean sheet is a habitual thing for the defence by now.

Indeed this one at the Ferraris was the third clean sheet out of five League matches. All thanks to the defence, where different men may rotate, but the results don't change.

Among them, one of the leaders is proving to be - game after game - Giorgio Chiellini. Not only when he plays, but when he gives interviews too. Just read his remarks: «It was a difficult game, regrettably we were unable to score and win. This isn't the strikers' fault, we should have set up the game play better from behind and besides they help out a lot when we’re defending. As we haven't won for two games in a row, this means we've been missing something, but the road we're on is the right one, we'll surely improve. This is only the fifth game, the League season is long».

He's currently one of my fav players. But If he's planning to become one day best defender in the world, he should stop hesitating and start crossing the ball whenever his opponent is putting pressure on him.

Chiellini sees European tonic Monday 29 September, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini believes the Champions League will give the Old Lady the jolt they need to get back on track.

The Bianconeri made a fast start to the season, but back-to-back draws with Catania and Sampdoria have frustrated the fans.

Juve's next engagement is a trip to Belarus to face BATE Borisov tomorrow and Chiellini thinks it's the right tonic for Claudio Ranieri's men.

We are all fired up for the game and I think a European test will give us the shock we need,” Chiellini told Tuttosport.

“I think we will pick up the points we dropped in Serie A when it comes to the important matches.

“Are we lacking goals? Yes but it's not the strikers' fault. We all have to help and chip in so that we are deadlier from all areas of the pitch.

“We have seen where we are going wrong and we will put it right - everyone is relaxed.”


Chiellini concluded by discussing Azzurrini starlet Sebastian Giovinco and young newcomer Iago, who signed from Barcelona at the end of the summer.

“Giovinco has great competition for a place, but he will follow the right road. As for Iago, watch him because he has a great left foot,” he said.

Really poor by Chiellini for the first goal.

He looks like he is suffering from playing too many games too soon after his injury.
