Chiellini is my newest fave player! He was great today TBH, and that red card is non-existent. I love how just got out quickly even before the ref shows the red card no fuss no nothing. This guy knows how much his team needed every second.
TBH he got a yellow for the tackle on Drogba, which was his second. I hate to say it, but the tackle was a bit rash, so it was probably right to give him his second yellow
Agreed the replay clearly shows yellow was correct.
Now to all the little whiners who are still looking for excuses, WAKE UP! Be proud of Juve, they played a great match and ran till the last miniute, never giving up.
From the replays i saw, he got Drogba's foot more than the ball, but fuck it, for the whole match that he was on the pitch, they did absolutely nothing, now all he needs to do is kill Ibra in the derby d'italia, and all will be forgiven
That tackle was not rash - it was a stern talking at worst. The difference is Drogba has a reputation as a world class player. In a few years, Chiellini will start getting calls. I thought he actually had a good game today

agreed it WAS a silly challenge to put in and tbh if it had been an opposition defender we would have been requesting a second yellow.
however, if he can learn from this (and i am sure he will) then it will stand him in good stead in the years to come. he marshaled Drogba exceptionally well last night, he gave no quarter and his no-nonsense approach really stifled drogba's physical threat. watching the game i was thinking that he is the sort of player we will eb talking about in 20 years time and a rock-solid lynchpin of a successful Juve side, a legend in the making.
i can only hope he learns to keep his head in these situations better and dives in less so he is viewed more like Scirea than Montero
